In these countries, the price of one ton of dry pennies is $ 20 thousand, and the price of one ton of dry stomach is $ 6 thousand. These are used mainly used to make excellent soups and salads.

Bangladesh cow pulse exporters hope that if the government increases the incentive by 2 percent and makes it 10 percent, then it is possible to earn 500 crores of foreign exchange from this sector.
There was a discussion with a young man named Ashraf Uddin Akash about this. He is a college student. He lives in Hazaribagh area of the capital. Every year on the Eid of Sacrifice, he collects cow stomach and pennies. This time too he was collecting cow's stomach and pennies in front of a small shop on the roadside in Hazaribagh. His target is to collect 10-12 thousand stomach and pennies. He is collecting every penny at Tk 60-100. Besides, they are collecting cow's stomach for Tk 180-220. After collecting them, he handed them over to the Chattogram exporter and earned good money. With which the expenses of the family including education go away.

But we are buying cow pennis for Tk 100 and Satpalla (Omasam) for Tk 220 maximum. So I will tell everyone to collect cow's stomach-penis like leather and sell to us. By doing this, Bangladesh will also earn foreign currency, we will also earn some money.

The entrepreneurs of this sector said that collecting leather is a matter of hard work. But collecting stomach-penis is easy. It doesn't take salt to collect cow pennies. These can be kept for three days without refrigeration. However, to collect the stomach, it must be cleaned and salted.
Wholeseller Nepal Babu said, this time there is a lot of demand for stomachs and penises. Leather buyers make six-nines with money, we don't do that. Money immediately when someone gives goods. Many times I pay in advance. Those concerned with the sector say that by exporting these two organs, the foreign exchange income of about 300 crore rupees is currently being earned every year. This time there is an export target of Tk 500 crore.
