Commodities covered under the Team include, bananas and tropical fruits, citrus fruits, cotton, hard fibres (abaca, coir and sisal), hides and skins, jute, kenaf and allied fibres, sugar, and Team also undertakes market reviews, outlook appraisals and projections, and provides assistance to Developing countries in designing and implementing national policies for those agricultural commodities which enter into international document is the seventeenth edition of the World statistical compendium , the first issue of which was published in present edition, prepared in response to the ever growing demand for coherent statistical data in the hides , skins and derived products sector, contains up-dated figures up to 2015.

6 Country series have been revised in cases where new information has become available and an integrated approach used in the previous compendia has been compendium contains results of statistical analysis of some 190 countries linking stages of processing from the raw hide to the finished product stage. The methodological approach adopted is described in more detail in the 1986 note that some countries are listed under different country groups, for different years, according to their change in geographic detailed statistical data on production, utilization and trade of hides and skins, leather and leather footwear are preceded by eleven summary tables highlighting the salient features and changes which have taken place in the hides and skins and leather progress in enhancing the coherence and comparability of the data presented, shortcomings still exist. In particular, the growing difficulty encountered during the years in finding and collecting comprehensive and reliable data on leather and footwear production at World level, has led to the total estimation of the figures shown for heavy leather, light leather from bovine and light leather from sheep and goats.

7 Production estimates are based on the availability of raw material and on volume of note that subheading (goatskins and kidskins) has been deleted from the harmonized commodity coding system of the World Customs Organization as of because of the low volume of trade. Therefore, collection of trade data on raw goatskins and kidskins is discontinued. This change affects tables IV, V, 12, 15, 18 and report is available at the following FAO website: tablesSummary Tables I-XI have been aggregated from country data presented in the compendium .
