Summary
The Leather Industry Network for the East African region (LIN-East Africa), and online platform set to be launched this week, will open up new opportunities for adding value to hides and skins and thus aid economic and industrial development.
The East African region needs policies and concrete actions to tap, promote and expand the underexploited leather sector for industrial and socio-economic development.
