2. Brazil
Brazil holds a high second spot in the world by leather production. Their entire industry produces 1,832.7 million square feet of leather and almost everything falls off to light leather from bovine animals – 1,721.5 million square feet. Brazil only produces 44.1 million square feet of heavy bovine leather and 67.1 million square feet of light sheep and goats leather, but even that’s more than what most other countries in the world make.
