Earlier Report Observations
Between 2018 and 2023, the market volume for raw sheep and lamb skins in Jamaica showed significant fluctuations. Starting at 1 170 kg in 2018, it fell to 730 kg in 2019 and further to 580 kg in 2020. A recovery followed in 2021, returning the market to 730 kg, before a sharp rise to 1 185 kg in 2022. The volume then declined to 872 kg in 2023.
In 2024, imports surged to 37 500 kg, pointing to a major expansion in market supply. This jump corresponds to Jamaica's high dependence on imported lamb and goat meat, where over 80% of local demand is met by imports, affecting the supply chain for raw skins. Furthermore, amendments to agricultural legislation, including the introduction of the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2024, revised animal disease and importation rules, potentially influencing the market for livestock by-products.
