الفرص و التحديات للصناعات الجلدية في مصر

Abstract EN

Leather industry in Egypt has a great importance for providing job opportunities as a result of its labor intensity.

It also has a great role in increasing goods exports.

However, those exports are raw leather not final goods.

Those industries also face many problems that may cause the inability to compete in the local and international markets, such as skills shortage in labor market, the marketing problems, the financing problems and rising prices of local essentials.

These industries also have the opportunity to raise the ability to compete by specifying places for this industry such as (Robeiky city), increasing of domestic demand and making the best use of Egypt's basic requirements that can help in the industry growth.

To promote this industry we should work on all the levels such as the materialistic scales (industry localization, modernization of industrial machines and unification of institutions) and the technical ones such as (training, application of international standards and exports skills).
