Pakistan livestock shortage adds to industry woes
09/07/2002
Up until the end of last year, Pakistan tanners were able to take advantage of a steady flow of hides derived from cattle imported from India. With that source of supply now cut, prices are on the rise. An official of Hafiz Tannery, Karachi, for instance, confirmed that there has been a 5% increase in prices of hide & skins over the last six months.
