Tannery of the year Asia! Approximately 60% of the leathers produced are for footwear manufacture, and 40% for glove leathers. The glove leathers demand the smaller skins due to their higher tensile strength at lower substances, with a mix of about 70% sheep, 30% goat skins. There are considerable variations in raw material availability because of surges in slaughter at times of Muslim religious feasts. The tannery uses raw skins from within Indonesia provided by dealers via long established collection chains of supply mainly from small butchers operating under licenced slaughter. Other sources are in the pickled and wet blue state from Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.
I guess these are Australian lamb skins?
Toowoomba tannery closes? Nippon meats a Japan listed company.Indonesian tanneries closing as well?
Now there a low cost wage country 240 million people.The tannery products in Indonesia go into about another ten thousand jobs in the finished product area.
The industry ministry in Jakarta has revealed details of plants that 22 footwear manufacturers from Korea, Taiwan and China have for expanding their production in Indonesia. According to the ministry, the companies’ expansion plans could lead to the creation of 60,000 new footwear industry jobs in the country. Ministry secretary-general, Ansari Bukhari, said these manufacturers want to set up or expand production facilities in Indonesia and have asked for government support in ensuring the availability of workers. This emphasizes once again why footwear in such a popular industry in developing economies. It’s labour intensive and creates large numbers of jobs, something that’s of particular importance to the Indonesian government at the moment because of the size of the country’s population, almost 240 milion, and the need to create jobs, particularly for young people leaving education. “We’ve agreed to provide training for trainers. Those trainers will then train workers for the 22 companies,” Ansari Bukhari said at a press ‘conference covering the Indonesian industrial sector’s 2010 performance. He said providing enough workers for the footwear companies would be. a challenge because people with stitching skills were required. The idea behind employing professional trainers was to make sure companies coming ti Indonesia would be able to find enough workers with the right skill-set.

Live cattle trade what a beauty its been for the country in job creating enterprise.Its cost the queensland government more money in revenue it had with about half the amount of cattle.Something like 45000 jobs have gone with live trade around the country.
