This transformation increases domestic income retention, creates jobs across the value chain, improves product quality and competitiveness, and expands access to regional and international markets. Ultimately, it strengthens industrial growth, boosts export earnings, promotes import substitution, and enhances the overall economic contribution of the leather sector.
