Development Potential and Constraints of Hides and Skins Marketing in Ethiopia
نویسنده
چکیده
Archaeological studies have shown that hides and skins have been used since antiquity as clothes, vessels, bedding, and possibly structurally in ancient dwelling places. At present, leather is used in various applications. Hides and skins, raw materials for the tanning industry, are renewable and easily perishable resources (Arugna, 1995). Their production is dependent on the rearing, management and disposal of the livestock population. The availability of hides and skins through slaughtering or death of livestock is of particular importance to the leather industry. Hides and skins could be obtained from fish, birds, and reptiles as well as wild and domesticated animals. The most important sources are cattle, sheep and goats.
