Executive Summary
The history of the leather sector and tannery industry in Bangladesh started when R.P Saha set up first tannery in Narayanganj back in 1940. It was later shifted to Hazaribagh area of Dhaka, which turned into a location that now accommodates a large number of tannery units of the whole country. At present, the leather sector of Bangladesh has 220 processing units located at different parts of the country (mainly in Hazaribagh, Dhaka). But only 28 tanneries are in operation, among them 20 are operating in crust section and 8 are in finishing section. Total capital invested in the tannery industry is estimated at Tk 2.5 billion, of which government/bank finance is about Tk 1.2 billion. Bangladesh currently produces about 20.0 million sq. meters of leather and leather goods per year. Contribution of leather sector (hide &skin, leather and leather goods, and footwear except rubber) to GDP is 0.31 (at constant price) in FY 2003. According to Leather Sector Census Study,2005 total production of wet blue leather in 2003 was 3,50,60,000 square feet, crust leather 6,61,72,000 square feet, finished leather 13,48,20,000 feet, whereas 1,67,66,000 pairs of leather footwear were produced in 2003 and 766000 pieces of leather goods were produced in 2003. In 2004, 247 million square feet raw hides were available for the leather industry, among which cow and buffalo hides were 184 million square feet and goat and sheep skin were 6 million sq.ft. According to a report published by FAO in 2003 the numbers of bovine animals in Bangladesh were 2,48,30,000 in 2002; the number of sheep and lambs were 11,43,000 and there were 3,44,00,000 goats and kids in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has exported leather and leather goods worth 220.93 Mn. US$ in 2004-2005, whereas it has exported 211.41 Mn. US$ valued leather and leather goods in 2003-04. The export target for 2005-06 is 235 Mn.US$ in which the export performance achieved in July2005-November2005 was 96.21Mn. US$. Total export of Bangladesh in 2004-05 was 8654.52Mn. US$, so the contribution of the leather sector export to the total export was 2.55% in 2004-05. The main exporting countries are Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Vietnam, Republic of Korea, Taiwan etc. Raw hides used for producing wet-blue are mainly procured from local sources. Locally, raw hides are collected mainly from leather depot located at Dhaka, Chittagong, Comilla, Kushtia, Natore and Rangpur. Only an insignificant volume of camel hide is imported from external sources. South Africa was the only source of camel hide imports in 2003. Wet blue, raw materials for producing crust is mainly collected from local sources particularly from Dhaka. A small quantity of wet-blue

12

to prepare crust leather is collected from Chttagong and Jessor. Very insignificant volume of raw materials is imported. In 2003, only about 1.5 percent of total raw materials (wet blue cow and camel) were imported from South Africa, Australia, and Brazil. Crust leather used for producing finished leather is also collected mainly from local sources. Only a very insignificant volume of cow crust is imported to produce finished leather. In 2003, cow crust was imported from Australia valued Tk.34 million. There are hundreds of importers, merchants and suppliers are supplying chemicals required for the whole leather industry. The processing of raw hides to finished leather mainly classified into three different stages 1) Wet Blue, 2) Crust and 3) Finishing section.

In 2003, 3202MT (worth 8,46,23,000Tk) leather chemical used for wet blue leather stage in Bangladesh. In which 1956MT (worth 2,06,85,000Tk) was local made and 1274MT (worth 6,39,38,000Tk) was imported. In the same year 901MT (worth 119041000Tk) chemical used in crust stage, in which 885MT was foreign supply and 16MT was local supply. On the other hand 130 MT (worth taka 46468000) chemical used for finishing section, in which 120MT collected from outside and 10MT was collected from local sources. The major chemical suppliers are Germany, Holland, UK, Italy, and India. Recently local merchants are also importing from China, Singapore etc. In addition of finding out the whole scenario of the leather sector of Bangladesh, this study mainly focused to identify the major chemical suppliers in the different stages of leather processing. To find out the main chemicals required in various stages of finished leather production was also the prime consideration of this study. The market share contributed by the suppliers in various stages was the main finding of this report. Along with primary and secondary survey, in depth interview and Expert opinions have been taken for the final modification and recommendation of the whole research. Why the big suppliers are loosing their market and why small and new suppliers are doing well and getting the market acceptability has also been discussed in this research material.

Chapter-One

Introduction
1.1. Origin of the Report
This internship report was prepared as a compulsory requirement for the MBA degree. From the program office of the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), I was placed as an intern in ACI trading limited. The project is titled To study the current market scenario and the future prospect of the leather chemical industry of Bangladesh. The project was assigned to me by my supervisor at ACI Trading Limited, Mr. Azmal Hossain, Executive Director of ACI Trading Limited. It was overseen by my faculty advisor Mr. Mustaque Ahmed, Associate Professor, Institute of Business Administration, University of Dhaka.

1.2. Objective 1.2.1 Broad Objective


To understand the current market situation and the future business prospect of the leather chemical industry of Bangladesh from the viewpoint of ACI Trading limited.

1.2.2 Specific Objectives


To achieve the broad objective the following specific objectives are required to be achieved.

1. Identify the major market players of leather chemicals (especially in value addition section). 2. To analyze the ins and outs of the tannery industry of Bangladesh. 3. To compare the marketing strategies of all the major chemical suppliers in Bangladesh and to find which marketing strategy the clients prefer.

14

4. To find out the proper marketing strategy for ACI Trading limited to increase their market share in crust and finishing section.

1.3. Scope of the Research


This report is basically a requirement of ACI trading limited to understand the details of tannery industry in Bangladesh. ACI trading limited is the agent of Stahl (Holland), a well renowned chemical supplier in the world. From the ACIs point of view, they want to know their competitors and how they are marketing in Bangladesh. To know the major leather chemical market players in Bangladesh, the tannery factories and their leather technologists are the main focus of this research. All the organized bodies related to leather sector such as Bangladesh Chemical Importers and Merchants Association, Bangladesh Tanners Association, Bangladesh Finished Leather, Leather goods and Footwear Exporters Association, Bangladesh Leather Manufacturers Association, Bangladesh Leather Importers Association are the major considerations of this research. Leather Sector Business Promotion Council (LSBPC) was the prime source of all research papers necessary for this study.

1.4. Methodology
To find out the major leather chemical market players in Bangladesh, I basically separated the respondents in three different divisions 1) Leather Technologists and employees of various tanneries, 2) Members of chemical importers and merchants association and 3) The leather chemical retailers or whole sellers. In depth interview of the first two respondent divisions have been scrupulously scrutinized. Both formal question answer session and informal discussions were the part of this research. Primary interviews of the third respondent sections have been made, which was a

15

questionnaire based interview. Convenient sampling method was applied for selecting the interviewees. All the findings have been verified by numerous experts, leather technologists, and well renowned leather chemical merchants of Bangladesh. Although, there are not enough secondary materials available in Bangladesh, Leather Sector Business Promotion Council (LSBPC) of Bangladesh has been repeatedly visited and they helped me by providing all their necessary secondary materials.

1.7. Limitations
1. The main problem in dealing with leather sector is that, there are not enough secondary research materials and published information available in Bangladesh. 2. All the associations other than Bangladesh Finished Leather, Leather goods and Footwear Exporters Association are not well organized to give the exact information; most of them even dont have their internal annual reports. 3. Since the whole leather sector of Bangladesh is shrinking day by day, the researchers are not focusing this sector well enough comparing to the booming sectors of Bangladesh like RMG.

Leather Industry of Bangladesh

3.0 Leather Industry Background

3.0.1The Leather Industry in Bangladesh


Tannery transforms raw hides and skins into leather for manufacturing articles like shoeupper, bag, suitcase, belt, wallet and jacket. In the past, leather processing was done manually using certain indigenous chemicals.

3.0.2 The beginning of the Tannery


The first tannery in Bangladesh territory was set up at Narayanganj by RP Saha in the 1940s. It was later shifted to Hazaribag area of Dhaka, which turned into a location that now accommodates a large number of tannery units. During the period before Partition of Bengal (1947), almost all the raw hides and skins available in East Bengal were exported to west Bengal, particularly to Calcutta and processed there. In fact the tannery industry of Bangladesh originated after its relocation from Narayanganj to Hazaribagh in Dhaka in 1951. At that time there were 54 tanneries in the country and out of those 30 belonged to the Pakistani owners. Development of tannery industry in East Pakistan started after the Partition with an influx of tanners displaced from India and subsequently, with the establishment of subsidiaries of some companies of West Pakistan. The tanning industry in East Pakistan and export of leather from the province were mainly in the hands of the nonBengali people. A few tanning units, however, belonged to Bengali entrepreneurs but they were small and of cottage type and they used to process leather mainly for the domestic markets. Most non-Bengali tanners processed wet-blue and sent the product to West Pakistan where it was further processed and finished for producing different consumer

37

goods. Till 1960, tanneries of East Pakistan used to process raw hides and skins applying salt and then drying them in the sun and the material thus developed was known as shaltu. 3.0.3 Post Liberation Period During the war of liberation in 1971 the non-Bengali tanners of Bangladesh left the country abandoning about 30 tannery units owned by them. After the war, the new government of Bangladesh vested the management of these units on a newly formed Tannery Corporation, which was expected to convert them into finished leather manufacture units. Unfortunately, the corporation did not serve the purpose because of lack of experience and other reasons including corrupt practices. Later, the government relinquished the Tannery Corporation and handed over the management of most of these tanneries to Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation (BCIC). Three of them were given to Bangladesh freedom fighters welfare trust. Both the authorities had miserably failed to manage the tanneries. In 1982, the government transferred them to private entrepreneurs in pursuance of its general policy of disinvestments, which had allowed some enterprising Bengalis with little or no experience in the industry to start wet-blue production.

3.0.4 Present Condition


At present, the leather sector of Bangladesh has 220 processing units located at different parts of the country (mainly in Dhaka) as follows: -

Dhaka (Hazaribag) Dhaka (Dhamrai/Savar) Gazipur (Kaliakoir) Jessore (Noapara) Chittagong Jamalpur Rangpur Khulna

194 3 1 1 18 1 1 1

units

Total : 220 units

38

Only about 50% of the above units are well equipped for processing crust and finished leather. But only 28 tanneries are in operation, among them 20 are operating in crust section and 8 are in finishing section.

According to the records of the Bangladesh Tanners Association, about 3,000 workers are employed in the tanning industry. Besides, there are about 100 qualified technologists including foreign nationals who are working in different tanneries. Total capital invested in the tannery industry is estimated at Tk 2.5 billion, of which government/bank finance is about Tk 1.2 billion. About 1,500 persons are involved in the process of collecting raw hides and skins and making them available at tannery units. About 100 organizations import chemicals for use in tannery industry. Some reputed tanneries of Bangladesh are Dhaka Leather, Apex Tannery, Lexco, Karim Leather, Samata Tannery and Bay Tannery.

Production
4.0 Leather Sector in the Economy of Bangladesh
The Leather sector plays a significant role in the economy of Bangladesh in terms of its contribution to export and domestic market. Bangladesh currently produces about 20.0 million sq. meters of leather and leather goods per year. The total production of leather and leather goods shows an increasing trend over the years. Beginning with the 1993/94, the production increased from 14.60 in 1993/94 million sq. meters to 15.90 million sq. meters in 1995/96. It fell to 11.95 million sq. meters in 1996/97. Since 1996/97, there has been a steady increase in the production of leather and leather goods that reached 19.91 million sq. meters in 2000/2001. The following table shows the production of leather and leather goods in the country. Leather sector is perceived to be one of the important economic sectors in Bangladesh. As a single sector of the economy, the sector contributes modestly to the countrys GDP. Contribution of leather sector (hide &skin, leather and leather goods, and footwear except rubber) to GDP is 0.31 (at constant price) in FY 2003. Table 4.1: Production of Leather & Leather Goods

*Leather Sector Census Study, LSBPC, 2005 **Approximate Data from LSBPC The quantum index of leather and leather goods production increased to 131 in 1998/99 compared to the base year (1988/89=100) and that of leather footwear production rose to 193 for the same period. It is therefore evident that leather is increasingly being used in the production of footwear. The following table shows the trend of production of leather and leather footwear during the 1990/91 through 1998/99 period.

Leather Export
5.01 Leather Export Performance of Bangladesh: The ever highest export
performance was achieved in 2000-2001 due to the mad cow disease in EU but after 11 th September incident, the declining trend cannot be prevented due to the less value addition capability and non-sustainable nature of the leather sector industry of Bangladesh. The export performance of Bangladesh after 1999 is shown in table4.1. The Leather export is almost 2.5 percent to the total export of Bangladesh. Table 4.2 shows how the percentage of leather export to the total export is decreasing year after year.

Hong Kong, Korea Rep., Italy, Japan are the main export destinations of the leather goods of Bangladesh. Though the Leather export performance of Bangladesh is decreasing day by day but still some countries like China, Taiwan, Vietnam are showing their interest to import more leather goods from Bangladesh. In comparison to India and Pakistan the export performance of Bangladesh shows a very uncomfortable figure. The main reason for that is the infrastructure of the sector. Although the RMG sector of Bangladesh is booming even after the post MFA era, foreign investors are not showing interests to invest in the leather sector of Bangladesh. Even the local investors are not interested to invest in leather sector, though there are lots of places Bangladeshi investors can invest easily.

Raw Materials
6.1 Raw Materials used by the Leather Firms

From the survey data it is transpires that raw materials used by the leather sector firms are procured mainly from local market. Except for an insignificant proportion, almost all raw materials of wet blue i.e. raw hides are collected from the local sources. Raw materials for crust leather and finished leather are wet-blue and crust respectively. About 99 percent of the raw materials of wet blue, crust and finished leather are sourced locally. Of the broad categories of leather firms, footwear sector used highest proportion of raw materials (includes finished leather, lining leather sole, etc.) from external sources, which is 3.13 percent of the total used by the sector.

6.2.4 Raw Materials: Footwear

Other than finished leather, some other raw materials as lining leather, artificial sole, insole-leather etc. are used in producing footwear by the footwear-manufacturing firms. Footwear manufacturing units imports comparatively greater volume of raw materials (as compared to leather processing and leather footwear sector) from external sources. Footwear manufacturing units imported over 3 percent of their total raw materials amounted to about Tk. 38 million during January to December 2003. Sources for local raw materials are mainly Dhaka and Chittagong. Of the external sources, finished leather is mainly collected from Pakistan and China. Artificial sole is imported mainly from India, Indonesia, China and Taiwan, and lining leather is collected mainly from China, Taiwan

57

and Pakistan. China, India and Italy are the major sources of in-sole leather. footwear raw materials are also imported from Canada, France and Germany.

SWOT Analysis
7.1

Strengths

7.1.1 Strengths of the Firms: Leather Processing


The SWOT analysis is based on the opinions of the leather sector firms. The survey reveals that higher productive capacity is the main strength of the maximum number of firms of the leather processing industry. Main strengths of the leather processing industry as identified by the leather processing firms in the survey are as follows:

Table 7.1: Strengths of the Leather Processing Firm

Major Strengths

Figure: 7.1 Strengths of the Leather Processing Firms With high installed capacity and better utilization of that capacity, firms can economize on the costs and offer competitive price. It is recognized that the element of competitive price is related to productivity and cost of production. Hence firms with better productive capacity can offer better price to their clients. Generally, productivity of the big firms is expected to be higher than that of smaller firms with low productive capacity. Availability of cheap labour is another common advantage in the leather processing. This sector is relatively more labour-intensive than other two sectors (footwear and leather goods).

7.1.2 Strengths of the Firms: Leather Footwear


As is leather-processing industry, higher productive capacity is the main strength of the maximum number of firms operating in the footwear industry. The major strengths of the firms as identified in the survey (as opined by the firms) are as follows:

LEATHER CHEMICALS & ACCESSORIES
(Data Collected from Secondary Survey)

9.0 Chemicals and Accessories: Leather Sector


A number of chemicals are used in the leather processing, footwear manufacturing and leather goods manufacturing units most of which are foreign chemicals. In terms of value, above 87 percent chemicals used by the leather sector firms are of foreign origin. Above 95percent (of the total value) of the chemicals used in the productions of crust and finished leather are foreign. Over 70percent (of the total value) of the chemicals used by the footwear manufacturing are foreign made. Data collected from the secondary sources show that leather goods manufacturing units depend mainly on local chemicals (Table *.2).

Most accessories used by the footwear and leather goods manufacturing enterprises are locally made. As a whole, about 20 percent of the accessories used in the production of footwear and leather goods are foreign made. About 81 percent (of the total value) accessories used by the footwear-manufacturing units are local accessories.

9.1 Chemicals: Leather Processing 9.1.1 Leather Processing: Wet-Blue


Secondary data show that over 75 percent (of total value) of the chemicals used for the production of wet-blue by the tanneries are foreign-made. There are chemicals that are supplied by both local and foreign sources like sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, ammonium sulphate, sulphuric Acid, Bating Agent etc. However, some chemicals like enzymatic soaking agent, sodium formate, masking agent etc. are exclusively supplied from external sources (Table 9.4). In 2003, major suppliers of the chemicals were Germany, China, Italy and UK .

Findings and Recommendations


As the whole tannery industry of Bangladesh is getting squeezed day-by-day, the negative impact of it is obviously affected the leather chemical market of Bangladesh. Since on this small industry more than fifty chemical merchants and organizations are operating, price; marketing policy; relationship marketing; technical support by the chemical suppliers; are scrupulously observed by the tanneries of Bangladesh. Ten years back BASF and some other big chemical suppliers led the leather chemical market single handedly and played monopoly game with their consumers. At that time they took high price from the buyers. But now there are numerous competitors available on the market. Now, buyers can choose their own sellers since they have their alternatives. In the description bellow I tried to find out some basic marketing factors of leather chemical industry.

96

1. Technical Support: The leather chemical marketing and selling requires reliable technical services. Suppliers can sell their product only then, when they can make it sure to the buyers that the chemical is really useful for fulfilling buyers special purpose. So, if you dont have good and skilled technical sales person you are no way near in the competition. 2. Price: Price has always been a huge factor in leather chemical industry. Big suppliers are getting away from the good notice of their clients because of their high price comparing to their Chinese and Indian counter products. Freight cost, taxes, currency exchange rate have always played a big factor for the ultimate price of the chemical. Most of the Chinese and Indian products are proved to be less costly than most of the well-known German, Dutch and English chemicals. 3. Relationship Marketing: Since the whole leather chemical market is very narrow, each and every one knows one another very well. But then again one has to maintain a very good relationship with the buyers. Most of the buyers want to purchase their chemicals on credit basis. So, you have no option but to sell your product on credit. Since, chemical selling requires post purchase technical support, one has to make it sure their chemical is doing better than competitors one in each and every aspect. Discount can be offered for buying bulk amount. Most of the buyers are facing difficulties in getting loan from the bank to purchase their raw materials. A supplier can also make a link with the banks to give loan to the tanneries for buying chemicals form them. 4. Lead Time: Some times buyers have to buy a bulk amount of chemicals for their production. In most of the cases suppliers are not able to supply beyond a certain amount of chemicals, then they require importing chemicals from the manufacturing agents. Lead-time plays a big

97

role in that particular case. If a supplier cannot maintain its declared time of supply, obviously the buyers will be dissatisfied. 5. Quality: No matter in which way you have sold your chemical to the buyers you have to make it sure that you are selling a quality product. You have to remember that it is not the one time selling policy you want to follow. Only, the good quality product can ensure long term selling policy.

11.1 Problems of ACI Trading and Stahl in Leather Chemical Marketing


1. Price: Most of the Stahl products are costlier than their competitors counter products. Although Stahl has very good brand image in Finishing chemical section but high price is one of the factor for which Stahl is loosing market towards the Indian and Chinese products. Even in some cases their chemicals are costlier than BASF, ALPA and TFLs chemicals. Actually, Stahl has to wait for their shipment from Holland. Fluctuations of Euro play an important part to fluctuate the price of the chemicals. ALPA (The market leader in finishing Leather chemical section) arranges shipment from two sources, one is India and another one is Italy. ALPA gives emphasize to the customers choice from where they want to get the shipment. In case of shipment from India, ALPA offers lower price in US Dollar. The other benefit, they can avoid the risk of frequent Euro fluctuation. Not only ALPA but also other competitors are practicing this strategy as well (BASF India, TFL Sri Lanka, BUCK MAN Singapore, etc). 2. Organizational Hierarchy of ACI Trading Ltd and insufficient technical person in the leather chemical division: ACI Trading Limited is one the subsidiaries of Advanced Chemical Industries (ACI), Bangladesh Limited. The

98

Company is mainly involved in marketing and sales of various Industrial Chemicals, Petrochemicals, Plastics, Pharmaceuticals, Leather and Shoe finish, Textile Dyes and Auxiliaries through Indent sales. It has four business divisions such as Chemicals, Textile, Leather and Water Pumps. To render technical service ACI Trading has two separate technical application laboratories for textile and leather businesses. In the Leather chemical division there are only two persons working, a) Senior Technical Sales Officer, b) Technical Sales officer. There was a manager in this division, but after his death this position is vacant now.

The hierarchy of Leather Chemical Division: Executive Director ACI Trading Limited Manager, Leather (Vacant)

Senior Technical Sales officer

Technical Sales officer


With the vacation of the mangers post, both the sales officers have to report directly to the Executive Director. Insufficient personnel in the leather chemical division and vertical hierarchy seem to be a noticeable problem for ACI Trading Ltd. ALPA, the market leader in leather finishing, has eight technologists working for Bangladesh market (Three Bangladeshi Technical persons, two Indian technologists, three Technologists from ALPA, Italy). In comparison to that Stahl has only two technical sales officers of Bangladesh and one Pakistani technologist.

99

Training of these technical personnel is very necessary. ALPA, Italy arranged regular training for agent technologist and train up on latest development that helps to promote Chemicals to tanneries. Stahl and ACI should arrange training on regular basis. Job placement is another key strategy taken by the market leader ALPA. They appointed technicians from India and occupied most of the finishing units in Bangladesh. These technologists are working as shadow technologists of ALPA and at the same time Tannery management also pleased for that and finally ALPA gets good business.
