In an attempt to improve the quality of the country’s leather, a Leather Technology Centre is being built in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul. It is the first of its kind in central western Brazil and will carry out tests and research on cattle leather as well as sheep, pig, alligator, fish, capybara, ostrich, chinchilla, and even frogs. The Centre of Leather Technology (CTC) will eventually house five laboratories for research and product testing.
