Turkey becomes an exporter of wet blue

03/02/2017
Turkish tanners have begun exporting wet blue hides because the demand in the domestic market for finished leather has decreased.

Some Turkish tanners have said that if demand keeps up in the course of this year they will import raw hides to satisfy the wet-blue requirements of tanners in other countries.

Sources in Turkey say shipments of wet blue have already gone to Spain, Portugal, Italy and South Africa.
