The local government for Brazilian state Mato Grosso do Sul is holding talks with a number of Italian entrepreneurs from the leather sector in order to encourage tanners to finish their leather within the state.

State governor, André Puccinelli, believes there is a strong possibility of attracting investment in this way, which would give the local tanning sector a boost in terms of finished leather production and in processing by-products. Hopes have been raised following a recent Brazilian delegation to several leather-producing regions in Italy.
