Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the market volume for raw sheep and lamb skins in Polynesia remained stable at 510 kg, supported by consistent local production under the oversight of the Directorate of Agriculture. The implementation of a new Polynesian public procurement code in January 2018 altered government purchasing frameworks, which could influence demand for livestock-derived products.

In 2020, market volume rose to 590 kg due to an import spike of 80 kg. The following year, volume decreased to 514 kg as imports fell to 4 kg, coinciding with the adoption of the 'Agriculture' Master Plan for 2021–2030, which aimed to structure and develop animal production sectors, likely reducing import dependence. From 2022 to 2023, the market stabilized at 510 kg, with modernized maximum price regulations for essential goods in 2022 indirectly affecting animal product markets without altering total volume.

For 2024, import data shows zero shipments, aligning with tightened veterinary certificate obligations for imported meats and animal products enforced that year, which reinforced a market reliant on domestic supply.
