Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for raw sheep and lamb skins in Gambia increased substantially from 68 339 kg in 2018 to 127 280 kg in 2021. This growth was primarily driven by the launch of the Gambia Agriculture Transformation Program (GATP) in 2020, a government initiative to modernize agriculture and enhance productivity. The program's focus on mechanization and improved farming practices supported higher livestock output, directly boosting the supply of raw skins.

After reaching its peak in 2021, the market volume declined to 87 790 kg in 2022 before recovering to 94 723 kg in 2023. The agricultural sector continues to hold significant potential for small ruminant rearing, but the lack of large-scale industrial processing facilities limits further value addition. A regional soil fertility mapping project initiated in 2022 may contribute to long-term agricultural yields, indirectly influencing the availability of raw skins.
