The Reason For The Decline Of Us Raw Leather Exports

Recently, a piece of information posted on the Internet said that the US's raw leather exports in 2015 dropped by about 17.4%, and the reasons for the decline in US raw leather exports and the measures that the industry organizations should take in the future to help enterprises increase their trade volume, we interviewed the United States by mail.

Stephen, chairman of the Association (Stephen).

Mr. Stephen first pointed out that their statistical data may cause some misunderstanding. The US Department of Agriculture estimates the export skin data is based on the declared shipping price, so the number of raw leather exports dropped nearly 20% last year, which is somewhat inaccurate. In fact, the export of raw leather is down by about 5%, leading to a decrease in total export volume due to the decline in the slaughtering rate of live cattle in 2015.

The decrease in export of raw skins led to 2015.

The production of related products also decreased, and the demand for leather in 2015 showed a downward trend. So did the United States, so exports dropped by nearly 20% in 2014.

In addition, Stephen said: "the business cycle of leather is actually a natural law. As the industry association of China Leather Association and the American Leather Association, and the leather media industry, we should continue to promote it as a major one.

Leather is an indispensable substitute. We need to show consumers the characteristics of leather, such as the quality and sustainability of leather, which can not be replaced by lower cost synthetic materials.

By doing so, we can increase the global demand for leather to reduce the downward impact brought by the business cycle. "
