Upper leather on the up
13/12/2007
The Pakistan government's Federal Bureau of Statistics has released new figures showing a 15% rise in the country's production of leather for footwear uppers.
The figures relate to the month of September, when Pakistani tanneries produced 1.7 million square-metres of upper leather, and the comparison is with the same month in 2006.
Over the same period, however, production of sole leather fell by more than 16%.
