Chennai Leather Market - June 2017

CHENNAI LEATHER MARKET

V M Khaleelur Rahman

There was not much business in the Chennai leather market. It seems some regular business has taken place at unchanged prices in tanned goat and sheep skins. However tanners are quoting somewhat higher prices as they feel that prices may go up due to the notification of the union government banning sale of cattle for slaughter.

Quotations of tanners are at around the following prices:

4/6 sq. ft. Run/V/IF/LIF combined Rs.60
