Ethiopia to Export Only Finished Leather Products
Ethiopia will export only finished leather goods beginning next month, announced the Ministry of Trade (MoT).
The groundwork has been laid to halt the export of raw hides and skin as of December said Ahmed Nuru representing the Minister of Trade at a half day consultative forum discussing the national leather sector.
Leather factories in Ethiopia have developed the capabilities to export finished leather goods said Ahmed. The factories have enhanced their capacity to add value to leather to a higher standard he explained.
Efforts to increase revenue from the leather sector to 497 million US dollars within the next five years are underway according to Ahmed.
