The chairman of the Pakistan Tanners Association (PTA), Aziz Ahmed has reiterated his demand for the government to impose a ban on the export of livestock instead of curbing the export of meat.

Mr Ahmed commented on a report that the government is considering imposing a ban on meat export for a certain period of time, saying that before taking this decision, the government should curb smuggling which is causing monetary losses to the national exchequer. “We are also losing precious livestock that is extremely important to our leather as well as export oriented meat industry,” said Mr Ahmed.
