Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products production quantity (Element 5510) for item Raw hides and skins of buffaloes, 2020-2024. For raw buffalo hides production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 raw buffalo hides production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the raw buffalo hides production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For raw buffalo hides production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
