According to the FAO survey, the Chinese market has shrunk and even spread to the origin of leather, Australia and New Zealand.

Last year, Australian lambs prices fell by about 85%, while the prices of lamb skins in neighbouring New Zealand also shrank by 40%.

On the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, because of the decline in the price of lamb skin, taking into account the input-output ratio, sheep Nick Baode Riel intends to raise 2700 lambs this year.

Rick said that this helped to prevent further decline in sheepskin prices.

Karl Alvel, a marketing manager at AllianceGroup, a meat manufacturer in Invercargill, New Zealand's southern end, said the decline in sheepskin prices was related to China's tightening environmental policy, and the weak global economy was also a big incentive.

According to the FAO data, China is one of the five largest sheep producing areas in the world, but it also absorbed 74% of the world's export sheepskin, followed by Turkey, Russia and Italy.

Zhao Jingchuan said that he has invested 15 million yuan in the construction of sewage purification equipment to deal with hazardous chemicals and sewage discharged from leather processing.

He said that more stringent new environmental laws would eliminate a number of small businesses that could not meet modern production standards, and large factories like him would eventually benefit.

For most leather processing industries, some chemical substances, such as chrome used in tanning process and hydrogen sulfide produced during processing, are easily mishandled, which will greatly affect the environment and human health.

In the past, some small businesses often took risks in wastewater treatment and avoided supervision, and later they did not dare, Zhao said.

Chen Zhanguang, Deputy Secretary General of China Leather Association, told the media that large enterprises can better comply with environmental regulations, while some small businesses are not optimistic.

"Factories that fail to meet the standards will be turned off."

He said.

Chen Zhanguang said that the decline in sheepskin prices was due to falling demand at home and abroad.

The US economy has gradually emerged from low growth for many years, and will help stimulate the development of the leather market.

Mr. Feng, who ran a small leather factory in Xinji, told the media that the double blow of environmental policy tightening and declining market demand is really overwhelming.

At the beginning of last year, he had to close the factory which had been in operation for eight years.
