Argentina Suspends Export Of Unprocessed Leather

according to Argentina Media reported that C Pita Niki, Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Arab government, said recently that the government would temporarily suspend exports of unprocessed leather, including blue wet skin, to protect the supply of cheap raw materials for leather products such as tanning leather, footwear, leather goods and clothing.

However, this measure distorts the price of domestic leather to a certain extent, and ultimately will harm the interests of the aquaculture industry.
