Earlier Report Observations

The market for raw sheep and lamb skins in Nicaragua showed consistent growth from 5 780 kg in 2018 to 5 910 kg in 2023. The initial rise in 2018 was supported by the Fiscal Equity Law No. 453, which adjusted the national tax regime to facilitate investments and reduce anti-export biases, benefiting agricultural production including sheep farming. Market volumes continued to increase gradually through the period, with a minor stabilization in 2022.

State initiatives in 2024 further emphasized support for the sector. The government presented the National Production, Consumption and Trade Plan 2024-2025, which includes assistance for 1,000 sheep and goat producer families. Sheep farming is actively promoted as a growing productive alternative, with raw skins recognized for their potential in the footwear and leather goods industries.
