Expert: Armenia should export more leather goods
YEREVAN, September 2. /ARKA/. Armenia should build up its export of
goods made of leather, but it is necessary to impose restrictions on
export of raw materials, Vazgen Safaryan, head of the Union of
Domestic Commodity Producers, said Tuesday at a news conference.
"Some 3.5-4 tons of leather are exported every year from Armenia,
mostly to Turkey, Iran, India and China," he said. "The leather is
processed there and some part of the exported leather but already as
final products, particularly shoes from Turkey."
In his words, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan have already developed a
mechanism for curbing leather imports.
Duty for exports from these countries is about EURO 260 per one tone.
"They use leather for their domestic industries," Safaryan said.
"Armenia should do the same to enable well-known Armenian
shoe-producing companies, such as Masis, Nairi and Lux, to export
their products to Russia."---0----
