The Pakistan Leather Garment Manufacturers’ and Exporters’ Association (PLGMEA) has said in a statement that exports of raw hides will remain unrestricted despite an attempt by the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) to impose restrictions. The ECC and the Pakistan government have imposed a ban on the export of fertilizer due to a shortage of urea. This action was taken to ensure that there was sufficient supply to meet the demands of the domestic agricultural sector. It was believed that similar measures would be taken concerning raw hides. However, the Ministry of Commerce has rejected a request for such a ban to be imposed on hides.
