1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Origin
Our honorable teacher, Professor (Dr) Khondoker Bazlul Hoque, Department of Management Studies, has assigned me to prepare term paper on "Prospect of Export Oriented Leather Industry in Bangladesh". This is a term paper for our Course: International Business and Management (EM-527).
1.2 Why chosen
As a country, we must emphasize more & more on our exports. Our export has been from garments, which now is now under threat in post GATT era. So, we must concentrate on other export industries like leather, pharmaceuticals, information technology, etc.

The objectives of this term paper are:
1. To assess Leather industry of Bangladesh.
2. To findout worldwide leather export scenario.
3. To evaluate export prospect of our leather industry.
