November 28, 2022 (MLN): In order to explore business opportunities for leather sector the Minister of industries and production, Muhammad Alamgir along with representatives of the leather sector on Sunday left for Indonesia, a press release issued on Sunday showed.

The delegation is arranged by the National Productivity organization (NPO), and the delegation is comprised of leather manufacturers (tanners), representatives of leather garments and footwear, industrial trade bodies, and training institutes.

Moreover, this visit is fully sponsored by Asian Productivity Organization(APO) Japan along with partial funding from WWF Pakistan

The representatives of trade associations (STGAL, PLGMEA, PGMEA) comprising the delegation will be able to develop better linkage and communication in Indonesia and exchange information on new techniques and technologies in leather tanning.

“Pakistan needs to learn from the Indonesian leather model and benchmarks in order to promote leather product exports of Pakistan”, it added.

Furthermore, the knowledge and information gained from Indonesia will help Pakistani leather manufacturers (tanners) with benchmark models of productivity and resource management in the domain of input raw material, energy, water, and waste and transform layouts of local tanneries to international standards.

At present, Pakistan’s leather sector's exports are stagnant as the leather tanneries mostly rely on conventional processes and technologies leading to lower productivity, mediocre product quality, and a significant impact on the ecosystem.

After a comprehensive need analysis, the revival of this sector was targeted through implementation of best practices learnt from the leaders in the leather sector.
