The ostrich farming industry has been various phases over the last centuries. In the 18th century, ostrich feathers were popular among women that the bird almost got extinct from the North America.

Ostrich leather arrives to its form after the tanning skins are taken from African ostriches who are farmed for their feathers, skin and meat. The leather is distinctive for its pattern of bumps and requires a specialised and expensive production process which results in value to be extremely costly.

The production process is carried out in three stages: raw, crust, and finally the product. As it is expensive to manufacture all three processes, countries that produce ostrich skins on a smaller scale, export them at the earlier stages. South Africa is a top processor of finished skins. Several African countries are engaged in ostrich skin processing such as Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana. Botswana.

Earlier, last year, the jacket of Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager came into limelight. He was apparently noticed to have a $15,000 ostrich jacket, which now roughly translates to INR 10,50,000. Even the seemingly huge value was said as rather a bit overwhelming by Henry Slaughter, the owner of Ostrich Alligator Market in Melbourne, Florida in a report by The Guardian.

On Manfort donning the expensive outfit, Slaughter had added, “I’m surprised Manafort got that cheap a jacket, since he lives well. I’d assume he’d spend $50,000.”
