Abstract Bangladesh is an emerging economic country in South Asia with a high population density in the world. The leather industry of Bangladesh has huge potential. Despite the availability of raw skins, low-cost labor, and the fact that this sector began a few decades ago, it has not evolved to its full potential. Furthermore, this sector's performance is deteriorating. There is scarce of research on the buyer’s requirements in the case leather & leather goods export, so far in knowledge. For doing research on this topic data were collected from various company of the BFLLFEA, BTA and LFMEAB. 7 data were collected from various company of BFLLFEA, 8 data were collected from various company of BTA and 10 data were collected from various company of LFMEAB. The main purpose of this study is to identify buyer’s requirements in the case of exporting Leather & Leather Goods, Gap Analysis and Way Out. In analyzing and making interpretation simple tabular methods have been employed. It also identified the relation and association of the leather & leather goods export with the related characteristics. In this study chi-square test had been used for association of the leather & leather goods export with the related characteristics.
Results revealed that the exporters whose company export time is <20 years have the higher percentage distribution than the other category, whose company have not CETP/ETP have the higher percentage distribution than those who have, whose company have not LWG Certificate have the higher percentage distribution than those who have, whose company face problem without LWG Certificate have the higher percentage distribution than those who do not face problem, whose export income per year (in USD) is 6+ Million have the higher percentage distribution than the other category, whose current year export income (in USD) is both 6+ Million and <3 Million have the higher percentage distribution than the other, whose last year export income (in USD) is 6+ Million have the higher percentage distribution than the other category, whose export lowest price per SFT (in USD) is 0.50-1 have the higher percentage distribution than the other category, whose delivery time (in day) is both 20-40 and 40+ (11, 44%) have the higher percentage distribution than the other, whose company have insurance have higher percentage distribution than the exporters whose company do not have.
The core findings was that there was no significant association between Leather & Leather goods Export income per year and different independent variable (like have CETP/ETP, have LWG Certificate, Lowest price per SFT) in the case of all the study population. In the case of the exporters without LFMEAB, there was no significant association between Leather & Leather goods Export income per year and have CETP/ETP, but there was significant association between Leather & Leather goods Export income per year and have LWG Certificate. Also, in the case of all study population it is observed that there exist significant association/relationship between “Have CETP/ETP” and “Have LWG Certificate”.
Therefore, more attention and further research for the leather & leather goods exporters needs to enhance better export in context of Bangladesh.
