Live cattle imports raise hide-quality concerns in Turkey

28/01/2025

Tanners in Turkey may have access to extra hides from South America in 2025, but some of them remain unconvinced about the quality of the material.

Recent reports suggest that 500,000 head of live cattle from Brazil and Argentina reached Turkey in 2024 and that this volume could double this year, owing to a lack of domestic meat supply.

However, tanners have said that bringing live cattle from South America to Turkey was not conducive to providing them with high-quality hides. They contend that locally sourced hides from Turkish cattle are of higher quality.
