Tips on Exporting Tanned Equine and Bovine Hides from Nigeria
Nigeria is one of the world’s largest exporters of tanned equine and bovine hides, with the international market for these exports becoming increasingly competitive. Playing to your strengths is always a good idea when you’re in competition with others. The country has natural resources that are not available in other countries, which can put it at an advantage over its competitors. Here are some tips on exporting tanned equine and bovine hides from Nigeria.
Know the international market
The international market for tanned equine and bovine hides is competitive. The country should consider its natural resources to help it stay competitive over its competitors.
Nigeria has a lot of advantages that are not found in other countries. For example, the country is one of the world’s largest exporters of tanned equine and bovine hides. Lack of natural resources are not an issue for Nigeria, which is an advantage over its competitors.
Nigeria should take advantage of its natural resources to remain competitive over its competitors. For example, the country has a lot of tanned equine and bovine hides to export. These products are not easily found in other countries, which can put Nigeria at an advantage.
The country should also invest in its tanning industry because that is one of the only ways to produce tanned equine and bovine hides. If it invests in this industry, then it will have a steady supply of tanned equine and bovine hides to export.
What can Nigeria do to compete?
Natural resources are important for any country’s export business. Nigeria can compete with other countries because it has natural resources that they do not.
Nigeria has a high export volume of tanned equine and bovine hides. The country is the second largest producer of cattle hides and the world’s largest producer of tanned bovine hides. However, Nigerian exports of these products are declining because Nigeria is not as aggressive as other countries in exporting these products and the demand for these products has declined worldwide.
Nigeria has an advantage over other countries because its production of hides is far higher than any other country in the world. The country also has the advantage of natural resources that it can leverage to compete with other countries.
Nigeria can use these natural resources to its advantage by producing high-quality tanned equine and bovine hides and exporting them to meet global demand for these products.
Start with the basics
You will need to have your documentation in order in order to export your hides, so you’ll need to check with the Ministry of Agriculture to see what you’ll need in order to export. You will need to have a certificate of origin, a cargo manifest, and an export permit if you are exporting more than 50 hides.
You will also need to have your export documents endorsed by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council before the hides are exported.
Once you have your paperwork in order, you’ll also need to make sure that the skins are prepared for export with the proper chemicals. You will need to make sure that the skins are treated with vegetable tanning agents, oil, and dye, which you can purchase at the Nigerian Export Promotion Council.
Lastly, you’ll want to make sure that you have completed all of the necessary taxes and fees for exporting. You will need to pay a transit tax on hides that are being transported through Nigeria on their way out of the country. There are also additional taxes that are owed for exporting.
Be creative about your product
Nigeria has the advantage of having natural resources that other countries do not. The country is well-known for its cattle and horses, and its leather trade has increased even more in recent years.
While Nigeria’s leather industry is strong, it is not as strong as the industries in other countries. These countries have more advanced technologies and higher quality products. A lot of countries are importing tanned equine and bovine hides from Nigeria instead of exporting them, which means that Nigeria is not getting the full profit it can from these exports.
Nigeria can help counteract this by being more creative about its product. There are many things that Nigeria does better than its competitors—things like tanned hides, which are not available in other countries. By focusing on what Nigeria does best, the country can increase its exports.
Quality is key
One of the first questions you may ask is “How do I make sure the hides I export are of good quality?” That’s a difficult question to answer, as it’s difficult to define what “good quality” means. There are some indicators you can look for, such as the weight of the hide, but these indicators are not easily obtained or verified.
In general, a good quality hide will be supple and pliant with a fine grain. The hair on a hide should be tightly set, and hair length should be uniform. A good quality hide should also have a small amount of fat on the body surface.
Another important aspect to consider is whether or not your tannery has the capacity to handle large quantities of hides at once, as well as the ability to store them for an extended period of time. You can increase your chances of exporting tanned equine and bovine hides if you work with a tannery who can meet these requirements.
