Earlier Report Observations

The market for raw sheep and lamb skins in Costa Rica saw a steady, albeit gradual, increase in production volume from 2 960 kg in 2018 to 3 150 kg in 2023. This growth was underpinned by the ongoing development of the national sheep farming sector, significantly driven by the activities of the cooperative CoopeOvinos R.L. The cooperative, grouping around 50 producers focused on certified lamb meat, helped structure and professionalize production. Furthermore, rising demand for locally produced lamb meat from a growing number of ethnic restaurants (Arab, Indian, Mediterranean) provided a consistent market pull, supporting overall ovine output and, consequently, the supply of raw skins.

The industry received a notable boost in 2023 through a strategic alliance between the University of Costa Rica and CoopeOvinos, which launched an investment plan for 39 viable production systems and a national marketing scheme. This period also saw plans to implement a specialized lamb meat processing and packing plant, aiming to add value and efficiency to the sector. Throughout these years, the market remained entirely domestic with no imports or exports, meaning the slow but consistent annual growth in skin production was directly tied to the expansion of local sheep farming and meat production activities.
