Hi everyone,
I am in the process of launching my own leather goods business in India and I am trying to gather as much information as possible about the leather industry in the country. While I have a general understanding of the industry, I am curious to know which state in India is the largest producer of leather. As I am sourcing my materials locally, this information can help me make informed decisions about where to look for suppliers and manufacturers.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or information you may have on this topic. Thank you in advance!

Hello there,
As someone who has been in the leather industry for many years, I can tell you that Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer of leather in India. The state has a long-standing tradition of working with leather and over the years it has developed a thriving industry.
Uttar Pradesh has a huge number of tanneries that produce a wide variety of leather products. In fact, the state accounts for almost 40% of India's total leather exports. The biggest leather cluster in India, located in Kanpur, is situated in Uttar Pradesh.
Moreover, many leather companies in the state provide high-quality products at competitive prices. So if you are looking for a reliable source of leather for your business, Uttar Pradesh might be a good place to start your search.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Good luck with your new venture!
