1993
Raha, S.K.
Hides and skins are by-products of domestic animals and basic raw materials of the tanning and leather industry in Bangladesh. Results of the analysis show that cattle and goat population increased respectively by 0.49 and 0.196 million heads per year according to the linear model. The semi-log model shows that the growth rate of cattle and buffalo hides supply was about 4.5%; while the supply of goat and sheep skins were respectively 9.3% and 2.3. The existing conditions of livestock production indicate that there is limited scope to farther increase in supply of hides and skins in the country. However, scopes exist for improvement of quality of hides and skins.
