In Cumilla, over a hundred seasonal hide traders are facing losses as syndicates of wholesalers refuse to buy cowhides at government-fixed prices. Despite salting and storing the hides, traders are being offered prices far below cost. The lack of local monitoring has worsened the issue, raising fears of smuggling hides to India. Traders allege that certain syndicates may be involved in illegal cross-border trade. Authorities have increased border surveillance to prevent smuggling, but traders demand stronger action and direct access to tannery owners.
