Prices for Cattle Hides Surge Dramatically
In my last post, I had indicated that prices for Cow and Buffalo have increased but to how much extent I did not know.
Price for a raw cow hide for 6 months had been at the level of Rs 900-1000 and this has been increased to Rs 2500 per hide. And that simultaneous rise in price of Chemicals has deteriorated the already fainted Industry.
Major Buying starts from the region of Punjab where Sialkot is the Hub of leather articles. Even though Sialkot is facing enormous shortage of power since 3 months but buying at such higher rates means they are getting good prices for their products abroad.
Shoe manufacturers also had problems for 2 weeks when government imposed heavy duties on PU soles. Now the industry has resumed to its normal pace with a gift of price increase half way down the season.

Jang Newspaper:Highlighting issues in Leather Industry
An article published in local news paper highlighting "daunting issues" covering Leather Industry of Pakistan. Four Major Points were raised:
1. Illegal exports of Cattle animals to Iran and Afghanistan causing deficiancy of Raw Skins in Local Markets.
2. That all WTO signatory countries Including Bangladesh,India,Egypt have posed 60-70% duty on exports of Raw Skins or either completely banned, why Pakistan is not considering it important.
3.Price Hike of meat due to scarcity of animals causing problems to general public.
4.Pakistan importing raw skins due to this scarcity of animal skins and hides and thus increasing cost of the finished product.
Recently I had heard a reputed manufacturer in Karachi, Mehmood Brothers is facing trouble in buying the desired raw material, even in good rates. We can never expect our government would resolve in this matter, they are earning money !!
Prices of local market cow and buffalo finished leather have also increased after a 6 months slow business.
