Earlier Report Observations

Production of raw sheep and lamb skins in the Central African Republic grew from 243.9 metric tons in 2018 to 258.6 metric tons in 2023. Market volume showed variability, reaching a low of 195.9 metric tons in 2022 due to a temporary surge in exports, but recovered fully by 2023 when exports ceased.

The launch of a small hydropower project in 2018, aimed at improving the country's renewable energy access, provided better infrastructure that could support agricultural and processing activities over the long term. In 2021, the publication of the first EITI report after the suspension was lifted enhanced transparency and governance in the natural resources sector, likely creating a more stable regulatory environment for primary products like raw skins.

Recent industrial developments, including the inauguration of a palm oil mill and a photovoltaic solar field in 2023, signaled broader agro-industrial growth and improved energy supply. These investments in related sectors may have indirectly supported livestock farming and the utilization of by-products such as skins, contributing to the production increase observed in 2023.
