Argentina Will Take Measures To Encourage Tanneries To Give Priority To Their Own Enterprises

Argentina leather goods and footwear manufacturers have formally protested to the federal government, saying that many jobs in the industry will be affected by the lack of local leather supplies.

They said that the local tanneries were turning into

It is difficult for enterprises in the industry to ensure that there are enough leather sources to sell overseas rather than sell them to them.

It even requires the government to implement the 1970s law, which requires enterprises to give priority to the supply of their own market.

But the media learned from the government that these legal provisions can only be used in the case of real solutions.

In 2012, the government of Argentina threatened to shut down some companies supplying Paraguay Yerba mate.

Because Argentina consumers are very fond of the tea produced from this grass, these companies reduce their supply, resulting in high prices and adverse effects on consumers.

So footwear and leather goods manufacturers say that Paraguay's holly and leather events are similar.

It has been made clear that although they are unwilling to enforce the 70s law, they will take some measures to ensure that local leather goods enterprises can get the supply of local leather factories.

Viktor Yevtukhov, Vice Minister of Industry and Trade, said in an interview that the Russian government has invited some foreign clothing brands to set up factories to achieve brand localization.

The interview was conducted by Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian official newspaper.

In the interview, Yevtukhov explained that for this national support project, the Russian government now envisages subsidization of some of the cost, upgrading of technology and new investment plans for the recovery of raw materials.

The new factory can enjoy long-term tax benefits, which can last up to 2025.

The vice minister also promised that the manufacturer who accepted the invitation could also get the market share of the government purchase order.

He said Russia had a good textile industry in the Soviet Union, and Russia could occupy the market sandwiched between European manufacturing and Asian manufacturing, because European products were expensive and made in Asia.

Inviting foreign companies to set up factories in Russia also hopes to achieve this goal. We are confident that we can achieve this goal because our textile industry has a good foundation.

He also mentioned in particular the talks with China National Textile and Apparel Council and several major textile companies at the exhibition in Milan.

Chinese manufacturers say they not only regard Russia as a market for their product distribution, but also invest in Russia.

In the largest fashion event in Southeast Asia - Beijing Mercedes Benz China International Fashion Week, Russian Chamber of Fashion signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the China Fashion Designers Association (China Fashion Association) for a period of three years.

Despite the decline in Russian economic growth, its consumer goods manufacturing industry has been growing.

According to statistics from Russia's Ministry of industry, its industrial output increased by nearly 5 percentage points in 2013.

Garment production increased by 7% in the first three quarters of 2014, while the overall Russian economy increased by 0.7% over the same period last year.

Yevtukhov also said that with Russia's accession to the WTO and subsequent tariff cancellation, leather and leather products decreased by 10.5% and 20% respectively.

To solve this problem, the Russian government began to ban the export of semi finished leather in August 2014.

In addition, the Ministry of industry and trade will implement similar injunctions to prohibit the export of raw leather.

He said Russia is not the only country to implement such a ban, but Belarus has already begun to implement it.

Russian manufacturers have great demand for raw leather, so they strongly approve of the government's practice.

Finally, he also mentioned the problem of synthetic fiber. At present, most of Russia's synthetic fibers are imported, so the Russian government is considering increasing domestic production.
