Leather Park aims for December production

The Leather Park has been in the pipeline since 2014 with little progress, a fact that has frustrated authorities and residents in the border town.

The implementation of the Leather Park was said to be delayed by the need for project reconfiguration to address emerging risks from a change in the project scope and location. The declining national herd warranted a review of the project’s business case to determine the minimal amount of raw material required to kick-start a viable leather processing operation.
