Aim of the competition

Leather is one of the oldest industries in Bangladesh and still country’s second largest (combining leather product and footwear) source of foreign exchange after RMG. But, over the past few years, the export earnings of Bangladesh’s leather industry itself have been declining demand for the crust and processed leather in the export market, the rising popularity of artificial leather, lack of proper waste management, safety and compliance issues, lack of new investment, lack of product variety and finally image crisis as polluted sector.

Whereas having a favorable environment for raising and nurturing animals, Bangladesh has 2 percent of the total livestock population in the world. Bangladesh’s Leather is internationally popular for its high-quality fine grain leather, uniform fiber structure, smooth feel, and natural texture.
