Country Commentary: Experts on the Turkish leather sector
argue that technicians and craftspeople
there have shown for years how able and
creative they can be in making highquality
leather and finished products.
This report suggests that if companies in
Turkey can sustain their businesses by
securing a half-decent price for lowergrade
material, their better-quality
