Something is severely wrong with this figure or Pakistani Leather goods are being sold for pennies because Leather Products are sold very high rates world wide specially `real Leather goods`

This is easily a 2-5 Billion dollar Industry , the fact we only got paid few millions shows of incompetence of uneducated people running show in Pakistan pathetic

I guess this figure is for stuff that says Made In Pakistan. Don't know about leather, but usually we export Agricultural products often written under Bangladeshi or Indian names.

PPP Government is desperate to make false claims and present bogus data to public to get some appreciation. If you hear that amount was actually 11.572 Billions, believe that it was meant to read that much. GOD! When will we get rid of these people!
