Question

Cattle hides and sheepskin are the main raw materials for the leather and training industry. Explain what effect health concerns about eating red meat will have on the supply of leather?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The raw material in the form of sheepskin and cattle hides is only available to the leather industry with the consumption of their meat.

Actually, first these animals are slaughtered and the meat is taken by the meat shop keeper, while their skins are then sold to the leather factories.

If eating red meat would become a health concern, then naturally the demand of meat would reduce and consequently the availability of raw material for leather factories will reduce
