Leather sellers in Dhaka and other districts expressed deep frustration on Friday, May 29, 2026, as sacrificial animal hides were sold at nominal prices during Eid-ul-Azha. Many sellers alleged that buyers were offering far below the government-fixed rates. In several areas, goat and cow hides were seen piled up on roadsides, with sellers unable to find fair buyers despite busy market scenes.
Madrasa representatives, orphanages, and seasonal collectors said the market price did not match the official rate, while traders blamed tannery owners’ unpaid dues and cash shortages for the crisis. In Dhaka’s Posta area, large cowhides fetched as little as 500 taka, dropping to 100–200 taka if damaged. Seasonal traders in Chattogram and Satkhira reported similar conditions, with some abandoning hides on roads or burying them to avoid losses and odor.
In Sirajganj’s Tarash upazila, the market collapsed entirely, with few buyers appearing. Many sellers either left hides behind or donated them to local madrasas and boarding houses, reflecting a recurring crisis in the country’s leather trade.
