Rawhide traders demand regional storage facilities
Rawhide traders demand regional storage facilities
Dhaka, July 07 - Rawhide traders and tannery owners on Sunday sought storage facilities in the regional level including in Natore, Chattagrom, and Dhaka to properly store and maintain the quality of sacrificial animals’ skin.
The demand came from the standing committee meeting of the Federation of Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) at its Motijheel office.
The traders said, it is possible to eliminate the leather storage crisis quickly by modernizing unused storages in different areas.
Thus a large quantity of sacrificial animal hides will be protected from spoilage, they added.
The Standing Committee on Hide and Skin, Leather, Leather Goods, and Artificial Leather organized the meeting.
Chairman of the committee and former director of FBCCI Shaheen Ahmed presided over the meeting.
Md Saiful Islam, director of FBCCI and former president of the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the director-in-charge of the committee, was present.
Senior vice president of FBCCI Md. Amin Helaly was present in the meeting as the chief guest.
FBCCI’s directors and leather sector traders also attended the event.-UNB
