| description |
In 2014, Kenya’s Ministry of
Industrialization requested technical assistance from the
World Bank to conduct competitiveness assessments and
develop competitiveness strategies for four key industries:
textiles and apparel, food processing, furniture, and
leather and leather products. In the context of Kenya’s
long-term vision to become an industrialized middle-income
country by 2030, its leather and leather products sector
offers an important opportunity for industrialization and
diversification of exports. The development of the sector
involves improving the raw material base (especially the
quality of hides and skins), boosting the tanning subsector,
producing leather goods, and marketing. Key strategic
questions about the leather industry include: what is the
status of development of the industry, what are the most
critical competitiveness challenges and opportunities, what
are the most are promising leather products that Kenya
should focus on moving forward, and how can support be
increased to value addition and exports by upgrading
production processes, technology, marketing, and branding of
leather products. The basic research methodology followed a
standard approach of gathering existing reports and data,
and interviewing a wide range of local and international
experts. To increase the competitiveness of the leather
industry and accomplish the product market objectives,
strategies, and actions are recommended in this report and
grouped according to a framework, which consists of three
key strategies: promote the dynamic restructuring of the
leather industry; increase access to markets and induce
greater demand for Kenyan leather and leather products; and
build quality and standards. |
