Chairman of the Pakistan Tanners Association (PTA), Agha Saiddain, told the country’s Daily Times newspaper that leather and leathergoods exports fell 24.9% in July and August compared with the same two-month period in 2008.

Meanwhile, he says India’s leather exports rose 26% during the first six months of 2009 because of government incentives.
