Due to the fact that more than 200,000 animals were perished in the recent floods in Punjab and Sindh, the Pakistan Tanners Association (PTA) has asked the government to impose a ban on the export of livestock as the leather sector is now facing an acute shortage of skin and hides.

Khurshid Alam, the chairman of PTA requested that the government sanction a complete ban on the wet-blue leather exports or to increase tax from 20% to 50%.
