The 15th edition of Cairo’s annual International Leather Fair is being held in Nasr City from March 11th to March 13th. Organized by the Chamber of the Leather Industry, the fair will be attended by over 80 companies that focus on footwear, leather products, and manufacturing supplies. It is one of the biggest leather exhibits in the Middle East and Africa, with importers from the UAE, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda. As trade has steadily dropped over 90 percent between Saudi Arabia and Turkey, it is widely speculated that Egypt has its eye on a new gap in the kingdom’s market.
