FEDIC outlines its hopes for the leather industry in Ivory Coast
15/12/2015
Moroccan leather industry association FEDIC gave support to export promotions agency Maroc Export in setting up the event.
FEDIC said it has a strong interest in helping the Ivorian leather industry advance. It said the leather industry there is confined to around 5,000 artisan producers of finished product, who have a combined turnover valued at just over €7.5 million per year.
However, the Moroccan association also said it was impressed by five modern tanneries recently set up in the Ivory Coast, although these are producing only semi-finished leather.
