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.
