We have a new issue of World Leather ready for subscribers to read. We bring you interesting insights from contrasting parts of the world. The president of Bangladesh’s Footwear Leathergoods and Accessories Exporters, Nasim Manzur, features in Leather Leader, while, in Brazil, new CICB chairman, Carlos Obregon, has a thought-provoking take on how young people’s appetite for protein supplements in their diets could make them more accepting of leather. We have detailed analysis on advances in colour-matching and a full account of the recent FILK Leather Days conference in Germany. A standout article in Leather and the Circular Economy this time focuses on a new livestock strategy for farmers in the European Union. Suddenly, the Commission seems to be much more sensitive to the challenges these farmers face. Finally, we have the views of some footwear and leathergoods manufacturers from the remarkable Italian region of Le Marche.
