On Day 2 of APLF 2024, we spoke to Brazilian tannery Krummenauer whose stand formed part of the CICB pavilion.

This tannery exports most of its production to China and so is fully aware of the potential and market conditions in that country.

Sales manager, Mozart Silveira de Castro, acknowledged that the first day of the fair was busy with many visitors from China, However, for Krummenauer, the fair performed as expected.

This company sees the panorama of the market as still being complicated after a difficult 2023. They assess the market about once every three months since it is difficult to forecast longer term.
