Mato Grosso needs more tanneries
05/10/2007
Government industry promotion agency Sebrae and the local authorities have combined to present a three-day seminar on the leather supply chain in Mato Grosso.
The state of Mato Grosso has Brazil’s second-largest cattle population, with more than 22 million head, but—at the moment—has only nine tanneries, which produce a combined total of 11.9 million wet blue hides per year and 1.5 million crust.
