By: Dr Kerry Senior, Director of Leather UK, and Secretary of the International Council of Tanners (ICT)

At the 18th Africa Leather Value Chain Annual Forum in Lusaka, Zambia, Nicholas Mudungwe and colleagues from Africa Leather and Leather Products Institute launched a new strategy for the African leather industry, recognising both the huge opportunities and huge challenges that exist. Leveraging the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, the strategy will bring about a unified approach to achieving the potential that exists in Africa.

Very glad to be here for INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF TANNERS to be part of that journey.
