Traders in Bangladesh have spoken to local media about dumping hides and skins following the 2020 Eid al-Adha festival because selling them to wholesalers and tanners was unviable.

The government set official prices for the hides and skins of animals sacrificed during the festival. Cow hides were to cost just 50-60 cents per square-foot in the capital, Dhaka, and 40-50 cents per square-foot in the rest of the country.
