Market and Industry Position

Botswana hasan abundance of raw hides and skins locally. The country has annual national herd size of 2.5-3.3million cattle; with an average off-take ratio of 9% estimated only through the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) annual throughout, yielding 200,000-300,000 hides per year.

As middle income populations in and emerging markets grow, so too does the global demand for leather products. With a small number of micro businesses and artisanal enterprises operating as tanneries, hide collectors and leather product manufacturers, MC HIDES AND SKINS company has opened a vibrant leather industry with the development of tannery of a leather setup factory based in Lobatse town, which is the Special Economic Zone (SEZA) for Botswana.

Opportunities InThe Botswana Leather Sector

Despite Botswana's relatively limited market size, its central location in SADC and the availability of raw material inputs presents multiple opportunities for investors seeking to tap the leather and leather goods industry.

The government's prioritisation of other sectors including automotive and component manufacturing, mining, tourism and logistics will lead to the development of synergies between these sectors and the leather industry. This may be very beneficial as input and transport costs are expected to be lowered in the short to medium term. Botswana exports one of the best beef and equaly the raw hides are also for the best leather and finished products that we are earning to achieve when we set up a fully fledged tannery and gelatine plant to process the raw products and by-products to finished products before exporting them.

Exporting will make us benefit more on the profits and the Botswana Government will also benefit revenue with a high percentage.

A noteworthy opportunity exists to manufacture locally, providing value add to Botswana and the regional and global export market
