Rich pickings for Pakistani tanners
11/12/2008
Tanners from Pakistan have been stocking up on raw materials during the three-day Eid ul Adha festival, which ends today.
According to the Pakistan Tanners’ association (PTA), around 25-30% of their raw material requirements are met during this and similar festivals in the country. Estimates suggest tanners will obtain approximately five million pieces of raw hides and skins this year.
