Volumes stay steady but Brazil leather exports see slide in value

06/12/2019
Figures for the first ten months of the  year show that, although Brazil’s leather exports are down only slightly in volume, the fall in value remains substantial.

Between January and October this year, Brazil’s tanners and traders shipped 118.5 million square-metres of leather. This is 0.7% lower than the figure for the same period last year. Of this volume, 47.9% of the material shipped as wet blue, 44.9% as finished leather and 7.2% as crust.

Export earnings that this leather brought into Brazil amounted to $956.4 million, down by 21.5% on the corresponding figure for the first ten months of 2018. Finished leather contributed 60.1%  of  the total value, compared to 26.1% for wet blue, 8.6% for crust and 5% for wet blue split.
