Iraq's leather industry decline
The livestock hide crisis in Iraq has worsened, transforming from a valuable national resource into an environmental burden due to declining domestic demand and the collapse of the tanning and leather industries. Approximately 100 factories have closed, and commercial activity has come to a complete halt.
