Notes to Table VII
Trade in bovine light leather expanded by about four times (9.8 percent per year) in the period under review, while exports of sheep and goat leather grew by about 65 percent (3.4 percent per year) and trade in heavy leather rose by 40 percent (2.3 percent per year)
The developing countries' share in shipments of light bovine leather rose from 42 percent to 63 percent and their share of trade in sheep and goat leather rose from 46 percent to 55 percent. The Far East surpassed Europe and is now the principal light bovine leather exporting region.
Shipments of light leather from all types of hides and skins rose in most developed regions, particularly North America and Europe.
