Leather Pipeline report says tanners and raw material suppliers should meet for talks
Leatherbiz Weekly’s exclusive Leather Pipeline market intelligence report says the difference in price and in demand for different types of raw material may be wider now than it has ever been.

Nevertheless, the report says that even the very low price of some hides and skins has done nothing to stimulate extra demand for leather among finished product manufacturers.

One of the difficulties is that raw material suppliers seem intent on assuming the high levels of demand for premium hides should apply to all types of raw material. The Leather Pipeline report suggests that if raw material suppliers and tanners were able to meet and discuss the situation in full, they might be able to come up with a solution.
