Institute aims to help tanning sector in north-west Argentina

04/07/2011
Argentina’s National Institute for Technology in Industry (INTI) is to set up a new programme called The Leather Corridor in the north-west of the country and will use it specifically to encourage the development of small companies in the leather sector.

The area in question already has two artisanal tanneries in the province of Tucumán. The Leather Corridor will also run through parts of the provinces of La Rioja, Catamarca, Salta, Jujuy, Santiago del Estero and Córdoba.

Part of the plan is to manage in a more organised way the local supply of small skins from animals including goats, sheep and rabbits.
