According to local media, four leather factories in Jinja City, Uganda have closed down, leaving hundreds of workers unemployed due to the shortage of raw materials.

The insufficient supply of hides and skin has affected the factories' ability to meet the demand, leading to the closure of SWT Leather Industries, Mehaka Leather Exim Smc Limited, Uganda Leather and Tannery Industries, and Loyal Small Scale Industries.
