Speaking at the fourth meeting of the Sudanese Council for the Development of the Leather Sector, he described the leather sector as “economically and socially effective”.
During the meeting, which Dr Karama chaired, a range of issues were discussed, including the current position of the leather sector in Sudan, the opportunities it offers, and the expected contribution of this industry to the country’s economic development.
On this final point, Dr Karama said: "We expect it to add more value in the next stage as it is a strategic sector which provides hard currencies for the country."
The Sudanese Council for the Development of the Leather Sector also used the meeting to call for the introduction of the value-added strategy developed by COMESA.
Its members said this organisation can support the Sudanese leather sector by encouraging the sharing of knowledge and skills between African countries.
