How To Export Tanned Sheep Hides And Skin From Nigeria – Part 1
A sheepskin comes from a sheep or lamb, usually slaughtered for meat. Sheepskins are by-products of the sheep meat industry as no sheep or lamb is slaughtered specifically for its skin; rather they are slaughtered primarily for their meat. Sheepskin does not have much export value until it is tanned.
Sheep skins are valuable commodities the world over and Nigeria has a lot of it. Converting the hides into leather and selling them is a very profitable business for many people in Nigeria, especially in the Northern part of the country. However, the process of exporting the sheep skin from Nigeria to other countries is often difficult and takes some time. It requires carefulness; however here are some things you need to know about exporting sheep skin from Nigeria.
Exporting sheep skins from Nigeria - What you must know:
Before going into the details of exporting sheep skins from Nigeria, it’s important to know that not all sheepskins are the same. Nigeria, as you are aware, has diverse climatic conditions and different terrains. This means that sheepskins from different parts of the country can look and act differently. Even in the same region of the country, you can still find that conditions and climates still differ.
It may interest you to know that the quality of the leather produced varies based on where it comes from in the country. Sheepskins from the arid regions provide much thinner and softer leather than those from less arid or more humid regions.
Therefore, if you have the interest as an entrepreneur and you are planning to export sheep skins from Nigeria, you must know the type of sheepskin you have so that you can identify the best markets for your products. It is important so that you don’t underprice yourself or over-price yourself and lose markets.
