Kenyan president seeks to ‘close gap’ in leather sector
06/06/2023
Speaking at a conference called 'Economic Dialogue on Value Chains' at the Serena Hotel, Nairobi, he said the leather industry is operating well below its potential despite having the third largest livestock population in Africa.
He said: "We import shoes worth nine billion dollars every year. Our leather industry has the capacity to deliver 80,000 jobs and 100 billion dollars. This is a gap we must close."
He added that county governments and the private sector must work together to close the gaps, reported local press.
