Reports indicate that there have been heated disputes between tannery owners and producers of hides and skins over pricing.
According to the Financial Express newspaper, tanners are complaining that raw material quality is suffering because price negotiations are taking too long. Tanners are reportedly prepared to pay Tk35 per square-foot for salted skins and hides, while suppliers are asking for Tk60.
