A tannery has 10 years of history and is one of the most advanced leather making equipment manufacturers in the world.

But the leather made by the tannery has nothing to do with cattle, mainly to produce high-quality camel skins.

It is reported that

It is much more thick and wearable than buffalo skin, and has wide uses.

Camel skin is more expensive, but it provides another kind of business outlet for local camel farms.

Leather is the most widely traded product in the world.

And leather goods trade total value exceeds 60 billion US dollars.

In the United Arab Emirates, Dubai has gradually become the main pit center for Sultan, Kenya and Ethiopia.

Among them, the number of cattle in Sultan is only second lower than that in the United States, ranking the world's largest.

Egypt is also a very important leather manufacturer in the region with more than 200 tanneries.

However, the history of leather making in Egypt has existed for a century, and domestic consumption is healthy.

African countries account for 15% of the world's cattle, 25% of sheep and goats, but only 15% of the world's total skin.

The Swedish fashion industry's total turnover in 2013 amounted to 2370 billion Swedish kronor, of which exports accounted for 62%, about 147 billion kronor.

Compared with the previous year (2012), the export volume of the fashion industry increased by 6.8%.

But the industry showed a downward trend in the Swedish domestic market, which was reduced by 1.7% in 2013.

Emma Ohlson, the Secretary General of the Swedish Fashion Association (ASFB), said that many Swedish fashion brands have a certain maturity in the Swedish market and have a view on the growth potential of the domestic market. Therefore, they will pay more attention to the foreign market, coupled with the help of e-commerce, and they see the whole global market.

According to the Linnea Ax, a project manager who produced the Swedish development industry's fashion industry report, no signs of stagnation in the export volume of the fashion industry were seen at this stage.

The report was made by the Swedish Development Council and 11 organizations in the fashion industry. About 71% of respondents believed that the choice of export market is still the most important link.

In addition, the Swedish brand still has to have a certain reputation in Sweden, so as to successfully occupy the foreign market.

Despite the upward trend of the fashion industry, it is still hard to predict the number of exports in 2014. If the percentage of two digit exports increases, the whole industry will be uplifting.
