Bangladesh leather exports are off target

16/04/2019
Export revenues in the first nine months of the current financial year (July 2018-March 2019) declined by 9% for the wider leather industry in Bangladesh, reaching just over $770 million.

The government has set the industry a target of $830 million for the first nine months of the business year. The target for the full year is more than $1.1 billion.

Revenues from exports of finished leather declined by 3% to just under $135 million, while the export revenue over the nine-month period from shipments of finished leathergoods declined by more than 37%, sliding to $178 million.

Leather footwear exports provided some consolation, rising by 7.8% to reach nearly $460 million for the nine months.
