They also shared with the media that the leather export is already in severe clutches of declining trend for the last 6 months continuously specially during Covid-19 pandemic while slight motivation/activation for the export orders is initiated now and our member exporters in the battle of survival, but this unfortunately for the deprivation of gas supply with required quantum/pressure is jeopardizing the whole process of export for finished leather with allied commodities as well, which could be broader negative impact to the upcoming export of leather sector.
