Earlier Report Observations

The market for raw sheep and lamb skins in Qatar, measured by volume, showed significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. From an initial 2 149 t in 2018, market volume declined steadily to 1 343 t by 2021, a period during which imports ceased entirely after 2019, leaving the market fully dependent on domestic output.

This trend reversed sharply in 2022, with volume surging to 2 163 t. However, it fell steeply again to 804 t in 2023. In the later years, Qatar's national strategies under Qatar National Vision 2030 focused on advancing agricultural sustainability and livestock production. Concurrent initiatives, such as government-backed price support for sheep meat during Ramadan and Eid al-Adha and the expansion of centralized wholesale markets with modern automated slaughterhouses, were deployed to strengthen the domestic meat supply chain, which can indirectly affect the supply of related by-products like raw skins.
