Lebanon’s leather makers call for government action on cheap imports

Lebanon’s leather industry has warned that it may be forced to shed up to 70% of its workforce if the dumping of footwear from Southeast Asia continues unabated.
The alarm was sounded at a press conference organised by shoe and leather producers in Beirut last week, who said their position was fast being eroded by cheap imports. They said they wanted to see the government take an especially tough line on to the use of falsified import documentation.
