At a recent presentation made by Messe Dusseldorf in Karachi, German Consul General, Verena Grafin von Rodern, urged Pakistani leather goods manufacturers to increase their presence on the global market by participating in more international fairs and exhibitions. Mrs von Rodern added that Pakistan already produces high quality leather, and if manufacturers can improve this further and still compete on price with rivals such China then the country could increase its share of the market.
