dc.descriptionPolicy Brief
dc.description.abstractThe EAC region accounts for 3 percent of the world total bovine herd, 2 percent of the sheep herd and 5 percent of the goat herd: a good resource base for the production of hides and skins and for the development of a globally competitive leather and leather products industry. Presently, the EAC region processes leather up to wet blue stage with minimal transformation to finished leather. Between 80 to 90 percent of the wet blue leather is exported; only 10 percent remains for processing to finished-leather which caters for footwear and other leather products. The industry faces many challenges, including poor production and processing practices, resulting in variable quality, high value leakage, environmental contamination, and low investment. The EAC is addressing those challenges through the EAC Leather and Leather Products Strategy and Implementation Roadmap 2020-2030.
