7. Argentina
Like the US leather industry, Argentinian too emphasizes on light leather from bovine animals. They have produced 651.4 million square feet of this type of leather, while only producing 35.1 million square feet of light leather from sheep and goats. Heavy leather production from bovine animals is even less widespread in Argentina as it only amounts to 28.6 million square feet. Total Argentinian leather production amounted to 715.1 million square feet.
