- Description: Laborers load raw leather onto trucks from a warehouse in Chittagong as the industry faces mounting challenges. Due to a lack of regulatory oversight, syndication by tannery owners, and soaring prices of leather-processing chemicals, many wholesale leather processing houses are shutting down. As a result, a significant number of workers from the leather labor union are being forced to change professions, threatening livelihoods in a country that stands as the world's second-largest leather exporter â the workers say. Chittagong, Bangladesh
