Notes to Table III
Between the early eighties and the end-nineties, world output of bovine hides and skins rose by about 10 percent. Output continued to grow strongly in developing countries, reflecting improvements in cattle husbandry and expansion in beef production, while it contracted in most developed regions. Far East now produces more than any other region, developed or developing. It has surpassed Latin America reflecting the considerable expansion in tanning capacity.
World sheepskin production grew by 4 percent. As in the case of cattlehides, growth in output was higher in developing countries.
Global output of goatskins grew by more than 70 percent (3.6 percent per year) during the period under review. Production in developing countries, which dominate goatskin production, rose by almost 76 percent and in developed countries by 15 percent.
