Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for raw sheep and lamb skins in Oman expanded consistently from 1 851 tons in 2018 to a peak of 2 531 tons in 2022, representing growth of over 37%. This rise was supported by steady annual increases in domestic production, which grew from 2 026 to 2 207 tons, alongside volatile but substantial net import contributions in key years such as 2020 and 2021.

Following the 2022 peak, the market contracted by 9% to 2 302 tons in 2023, as a sharp reduction in imports outweighed stable production growth. In 2024, market conditions were influenced by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries' policy to permit unrestricted live animal imports from 15 countries, including the authorization to bring in over 217 000 head of livestock to meet red meat demand, which bolstered the domestic supply of raw hides.
