Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the market volume for raw sheep and lamb skins in Bahrain experienced notable shifts. It expanded from 4 267 t in 2018 to 4 619 t in 2019, reflecting an 8% increase. However, the following year brought a contraction, with volume dropping to 4 251 t in 2020.

After the 2020 downturn, the market stabilized around 4 200–4 400 t. Volume settled at 4 227 t in 2021, essentially unchanged from the prior year, then recovered moderately to 4 390 t in 2022. In 2023, it reached 4 446 t, continuing a gentle upward trend.

In 2024, Bahrain introduced several regulatory measures affecting the livestock sector. Decision No. (141) of 2024 established specifications and requirements for licensing animal production facilities, mandating official permits with technical and environmental standards to protect consumer health and the environment. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce amended rules on commercial registry renewal penalties and allowed certain activities through virtual shops, while the Ministry of Municipalities and Agriculture set fees for veterinary medical licenses. These steps are part of a broader effort to enhance Bahrain's position as a livestock trade hub and strengthen food security.
