German Perspective—18.08.09
What happened this week: Talking about last week’s German hide market is a bit difficult because the market was completely twofold. The selling market for hides was in the low gear we expected. There were a few inquiries here and there from tanners who are still not disposing of the inventory they need for September and there were some Chinese latecomers, but nothing really worth mentioning. It was a completely normal week for mid August.
