Leather Pipeline sounds faint note of optimism
16/10/2018
After describing the contiuation of the problems in the hide and leather supply chain (too much raw material, not enough demand for finished leather), the report strikes a faint note of optimism.
“As bad as it may be at the moment,” it says, “and as grim as the outlook for the short term may be, we continue to believe that there is a fair chance of recovery some time in 2019. It would need very little and only a bit of creativity to bring leather back to the attention of the consumer. We are just lacking the organisation or the individuals devoted to this, which is what could trigger a turnaround.”
