Leather shoe factory will pay off for Tanzania
12/01/2022
The government has invested in Zanzibar Quality Tailoring and Zanzibar Leather and Shoe Factory to create jobs and reduce reliance on imports, according to local press.
Tanzania’s vice-president, Philip Mpango, told the factories’ management: "If you produce quality products at competitive prices, consumers will prefer yours over imports.
"We still have a serious problem of environmental pollution; your operations must consider appropriate procedures to conserve the environment."
He praised the initiative, saying it would create business for other industries, such as agriculture and chemicals.
