KARACHI: The relatively soaring price of animals and their less numbers could result in 20 per cent less hides to the leather industry this year.


Due to inflation, high prices and low number of animals, people preferred collective sacrifice of animals. According to an estimate, around 70 per cent cows and 30 per cent other small animals have been sacrificed this year.


This scenario shows the leather industry may face 20 per cent less hides this year. Also, soaring prices of hides may disturb the industry and leather exports. — DawnNews
