The government set the price of salted rawhide of sacrificed cattle for Eid-ul-Azha at
Tk47-52 per square ft in Dhaka and Tk40-44 outside the city.
The prices have increased Tk7 per square ft compared to last year.
Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi announced the price after a virtual meeting at 11:30 am on Tuesday.
Last year, the cow rawhide price was fixed at Tk40-45 per sq ft in the capital and Tk33-37 outside Dhaka.
Besides, the minister said, the price of goatskin has been fixed at Tk18-20 per square ft across the country, which was Tk 15-17 last year.
However, the price of female goatskin has remained the same at Tk12-14 per square ft.
The Minister emphasized applying salt on animal hides soon after their sacrifices. “It will be good if people are made aware about applying salt in sermons after the next Jumma prayer,” he said.
