Sudan throws away half of its animal hides every year, losing millions of dollars! Now it is finally going to “pick them up”

1. Smuggling is severe. A large amount of high-quality raw hides are shipped out of the country without going through formal channels, resulting in the country not receiving taxes and local factories not getting raw materials.
2. Local tanneries have insufficient production capacity. Even if the hides remain in the country, there is not enough processing capacity to turn them into high-value leather.
3. Ineffective coordination among government departments. Multiple departments are involved, but none are fully responsible, resulting in no one being truly accountable.

• Establish a professional market: make the leather trade more standardized and transparent.

• Repairing relevant factories: Tanneries affected by war will receive funds and tax incentives to help them resume production.

• Collaborating with international experts: Introducing advanced technology and management expertise.

• Collaborating with global fashion brands: This is the highest step. If we can become part of the supply chain of Zara, H&M, or even Hermès, the value of Sudanese leather will multiply.

.

• By September 2026: Establish production cooperation with 3 international fashion companies.

• By October 2026: Introduce policies to improve leather quality and strengthen the functions of the National Leather Improvement Center.
