Despite The Global Economic Downturn, China'S Leather Market Is Still Well Received By Many Countries.

"Before the leather exhibition in Turkey and other countries, Chinese people are not welcome at all. Now they are asking us to go."

Haining, Zhejiang

Gong Huihong, Executive Deputy Secretary General of the trade association, looked around the bustling leather buyers 5 days ago, saying this to China News Service reporters.

At present, China International Leather Exhibition is being held in Shanghai, and 1301 companies in 41 countries and regions are flooding into Pudong New International Expo Center, a 10% increase over last year.

In the global economy, especially in the depressed economic environment of Europe, the heavily overloaded overseas buyers are now laying down their feet, not only eager to expand the attractive Chinese market, but also the atmosphere of mutual exchange, cooperation and complementarity.

Gong Huihong said, at present

Maintaining high prices is still a constraint to the development of leather industry.

But what is interesting is that in the past, Europeans came out and made Chinese manufacturers. This year, the situation has been reversed. "Now we design the style so that Turkey manufacturers can produce the same products and do our own brand in Haining."

"Not only that, you used to think of countries like Turkey to participate in leather exhibitions, but they didn't welcome you very much. They thought you were competitors, afraid of stealing.

Instead, they offered to invite us. "

In addition, the opening of the five phase of the Haining leather city flagship store Plaza, which is about to open in September 26th this year, is the first time that the Turkey pavilion has been opened, which was "impossible" in the past.

Gong Huihong's remarks were quickly confirmed by the Turkey leather Committee.

It is the China International Leather Exhibition. Turkey, as the "theme exhibitor", brings 50 leather enterprises to the conference.

LemiTolunay, chairman of Istanbul leather and leather products exporters association and chairman of Turkey leather Committee, said: "we are convinced that Shanghai is the gateway to the Chinese market. We are well aware of the importance of establishing good cooperative relations with China."

Turkey is one of the leading countries in leather industry and leather export.

At present, the export volume of leather products in Turkey ranks second in the world.

In 2011, the total export value of leather industry in Turkey amounted to US $1 billion 440 million, and its goal was to export to US $10 billion by 2023.

Obviously, the Chinese market is of great help to them.

For Turkey, it is not only to open the market, but to form a partnership.

"In the past, because the two sides did not know enough, there was not much cooperation.

This time we also organized a group to Haining for communication. We hope to introduce Turkey leather to China, and also hope to get Chinese help on leather equipment, "LemiTolunay said." we also invited Haining leather Institute to send people to Turkey for further education, learning advanced technology including leather equipment and manufacturing field.

In fact, last year, Turkey's China policy.

The total has increased by 80%, obviously they are not satisfied with it.
