Indian leather exporters have penetrated new markets such as Canada, Russia, South Korea, Japan, Australia and the United States to tap the rising demand in these countries and boost the country’s overall exports, Council for Leather Exports (CLE) chairman P R Aqeel Ahmed said at a reverse buyer-seller meet that CLE organised recently in New Delhi.
He said CLE has been undertaking several export promotion events in both Europe and other major and potential markets to expand market share.
“During 2019-20, we are organising 16 such marketing events and have planned 25 marketing events during 2020-21,” a news agency quoted him as saying.
About 55 overseas buyers from 26 countries participated in the meet.CLE has planned three such meetings in 2020-21, one each in Kolkata, Delhi and Kanpur, which will provide opportunities to Indian exporters to meet overseas buyers, Ahmed added.
