Earlier Report Observations

The market for raw sheep and lamb skins in Botswana saw its volume surge from 143.3 t in 2018 to 242.5 t in 2019, before entering a consistent downward trajectory that brought it to 167.7 t by 2023. Production followed a similar pattern, peaking in 2019 and then declining each subsequent year.

In the later part of the period, broader African trade dynamics came into play. Botswana recorded a growing export share for cattle raw hides and skins, part of a regional trend that saw increased market access and shifting demand in related industries. These sector-wide movements likely influenced the overall environment for raw skins, including sheep and lamb, though the specific market for these products continued to contract.
