Reportedly, average import value of local leather manufacturer reaches around US $20-30 million.
It seems like the enterprises are keen on taking advantage of the discounts offered by Chinese Government on leather imports.
This will help companies reduce high production cost and also upgrade the product quality by using superior foreign leather.
Experts say that this was a good period for local leather industry as its demand on international scale was growing.
Besides, since Government was encouraging imports, companies are able to procure high-quality leather at reasonable prices as well study and adopt the advanced technologies in other countries.
