The National Consumer Rights Protection Movement has raised alarm over the reactivation of a powerful syndicate reminiscent of past fascist regimes, which it claims is once again manipulating the sacrificial leather market. The group has called for resistance against what it described as both domestic and foreign conspiracies to destroy Bangladesh’s leather industry.
Despite the Ministry of Commerce setting the price of cowhide between BDT 60 and 65 per square foot, hides were reportedly sold at BDT 55 to 60—similar to last year’s rates. Activists blamed a behind-the-scenes “price manipulation game” by syndicates for the artificially low prices.
“This must stop,” said movement leaders. “We’ve seen the jute industry collapse due to similar tactics. We cannot allow the leather industry to suffer the same fate.”
