Industry body the Leather and Hide Council of America (LHCA) has said it expects a busy year ahead as it continues to advocate on behalf of the US hide, skin, and leather industry, domestically and globally.

In a report that offers a review of US hide exports in 2020, LHCA said a tough few years for the leather industry had been strained further by covid-19. It said that in spring 2020, the value of a US steer hide was less than 1% of the entire value of the animal and suggested this was probably the lowest percentage on record.
