Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from World Cattle, Hide, Calf and Kip Skin Production and Trade, 1972
World production in 1972 in 59 selected countries of 184 million hides has changed little since 1968. How ever, it is 8_ percent over the average production of 1963-67. In the United States, production of41.2 million bovine hides was slightly below 1971 levels and little changed from levels achieved during the past decade. However, the 1972 figures mask an increase of mil lion in cattle hide production from the 1963-67 average, balanced by a similar numerical decrease in calf and kip skin production. This re?ects the world trend to fatten cattle to maturity.
Bovine hide production recovered somewhat in Argen tina to million hides in 1972 from million in 1971, but still was below production achieved earlier in the decade. Australia's production in 1972 expanded sharply by 21 percent to million hides. The USSR increased production slightly to 43 million hides. World production in 1973 is expected to show little change from that of 1972, but total bovine hide production in 1974 could increase by as much as 5 percent.
