Bangladeshi leather processing and leather goods sector is suffering on account of the ongoing monsoons and floods across the country.

The leather processors say they are not getting adequate hides and skins, a basic raw material for the industry, due to disruptions in road communication across the country. "Our production has fallen significantly as the supply of raw materials has declined by more than 50%," said Tipu Sultan, chairman of Bangladesh Finished Leather, Leathergoods & Footwear Exporters' Association (BFLLFEA).
