Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for raw sheep and lamb skins in Belarus exhibited strong fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. It expanded sharply to 567 t in 2019, driven by a surge in imports, then gradually contracted before falling markedly to 250 t in 2022 and stabilizing at that level in the following year.

This period was marked by active state regulation of the leather industry. In 2018, the government approved a procurement order for raw bovine hides, underscoring official support for the sector. From February 2021, mandatory reporting for the production and shipment of bovine hides was enforced, increasing oversight and transparency in the market for leather raw materials.

Further regulatory measures followed, including the introduction of a six-month licensing regime for the export of raw bovine hides in July 2023. These industry-wide interventions coincided with the stabilization of the sheep and lamb skins market at 250 t after a period of earlier volatility.
