Energy Crisis Continues To Impact Pakistan'S Leather Industry

< p > > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Pakistan < /a > the leather industry is facing an awkward situation of stagnation and declining exports, mainly due to the energy crisis and frequent power rationing.

Leather exports dropped from $1 billion 220 million to $1 billion, down 14% from 5 years ago.

< p > Kawaja, chairman of Pakistan tannery Association, said in the letter of the Minister of water and power, tanning is a continuous and continuous process, and the power supply must be ensured in processing.

The shortage of electricity has caused a negative growth in the export of leather industry.

< /p >

< p > on guaranteeing the "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp "tannery industry < /a > power supply, President AGA mentioned many times on different occasions and before the meeting, and explained that the power failure during leather making not only caused serious losses to leather, but also reduced the quality of tanned leather.

< /p >

< p > limiting electricity and stopping gas is the main reason for the decline of export and also brings great economic losses to the leather industry.

For example, the increase in customer claims has seriously affected the credibility of the tanning industry.

< a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > Leather > /a > industry has provided work for about 1000000 people in the country, especially for the employment of those disadvantaged groups in the society.

< /p >

< p > to solve the problem of employment, the India government formulated the India leather development plan to inject 25 billion 710 million rupees into the leather industry.

If Pakistan can solve the existing problems, the leather industry will have a potential of 3 times growth.

< /p >

< p > Pakistan tannery association has repeatedly called on the government to give priority to leather industry. However, the government has not issued any substantive incentives for leather. On the contrary, the government has also cancelled subsidies for overseas exhibitors.

< /p >

< p > president AGA said that as long as the government guarantees no power cuts and no gas limitation, our tanning is capable of producing world-class leather.

Moreover, the energy consumption per unit of leather production is much lower than that of textile, spinning and weaving industries, AGA said.

< /p >

< p > AGA claims that the leather industry will be able to increase its export volume from US $1 billion 40 million to US $3 billion in the next 2-3 years as long as the government attaches great importance to it.

< /p >

< p > at present, 95% of Pakistan leather exports are finished leather and leather clothing, gloves, shoes and leather products. From this point of view, the tanning industry should not limit electricity.
