The concern is the unit of producing leather. Specialized for wet blue split leather.
The tannery starts it's process from raw wet blue leather to finished wet blue leather. Throughout this process, There are dyeing, milling and Buffing. And also the finished wet blue leather are quality checked two times to ensure the best quality provided to the consumers.Bangladesh’s leather exports were mainly dependent on wet blue leather. Wet blue leather refers to unfinished leather preserved by salting the hairs from the skin. However, raw leather has the potential to add about 90 percent value to leather products if it is further processed to produce finished goods. To increase the production of higher value-added leather goods, the Bangladesh government banned the export of wet blue leather in 1990. As a result, entrepreneurs are forced to further modernize their operations, which helps the industry’s growth. Since then, the manufacturing of Crust and Complete leather in the country has started. In 2003, the Leathergoods And Footwear Manufacturers & Exporters Association of Bangladesh (LFMEAB) was established to increase linkages between local producers and exporters with international clients. According to a report by EBL securities LTD, published in August 2019, Bangladesh produces 350 million square feet of leather annually, of which only 20 to 25 percent meets local demand, while the rest is exported. According to Prothom Alo, there are currently 220 tanneries in Bangladesh that only process raw leather.
