APLF meetings confirm Turkish tanners’ 2014 concerns

08/04/2014
Almost 50 Turkish tanneries and finished product manufacturers took part in the APLF exhibition in Hong Kong at the end of March and start of April.

There was a consensus among Turkish exhibitors at the end of the event that 2014 will be a difficult year for them.

For tanners producing shoe-upper leather, for example, raw material prices continue to go up, making it hard for Turkish producers to compete with tanners in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Brazil or China.
