Brazilian tanners take high hopes home from China
Brazil’s export promotions agency, Apex-Brasil, has said tanners who travelled from the South American country to take part in the All China Leather Exhibition (ACLE) in Shanghai at the start of September expect orders to materialise from the contacts they made at the event to have a combined value of $500 million over the next year.

In all, 24 Brazilian leather producers were present at the exhibition in Shanghai. In the course of the three days of the event itself, Brazilian tanners processed orders with a value of more than $25 million, Apex-Brasil said afterwards.

Together, these 24 companies held meetings with more than 1,000 potential buyers at ACLE, 80% of them from China.

After returing to Brazil, the president of the Brazilian tanning industry association (CICB), José Fernando Bello, said: “China and Hong Kong represent the biggest markets for Brazilian leather exports. Together they have a share of almost 36% of our total sales to external markets.”
