22/05/2025
Wet blue exports from the US fell by 9% in volume and by 17% in value in the first quarter of 2025.
The percentage figures that the Leather and Hide Council of America (LHCA) has shared suggest that tanners and traders in the US shipped just over 800,000 wet blue hides in the first three months of this year, bringing in revenues of around $85 million.
