Tanning sector raw materials a big attraction for Belarus

17/05/2010
Raw materials for tanneries in Belarus are reported as one of the main interests the eastern European country has in an initiative to boost trade with Venezuela.

A new Belarusian-Venezuelan trading house, a joint-venture company, is to be set up in the South American country’s capital, Caracas, with an affiliate in Belarus. Venezuela is interested in fabric, clothing and children’s shoes from Belarus, but hides and skins for leather production is said to be one of the main items that will move the other way.
