Currently, Bangladesh can export tanned skins only to China as the country has not been able to obtain the much-required certification from the Leather Working Group (LWG) for a lack of compliance.
Like previous years, the government has been approving applications of different companies seeking to export rawhide to create demand and enable better prices, said Tapan Kanti Ghosh, senior secretary to the commerce ministry, yesterday.
BNP has demanded withdrawal of the government decision to lift the ban on rawhide export for the sake of the country's leather industry.
