S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian exports of leather, in November, grew 11% over the previous month. Sales totalled US$ 115.26 million. The figures were disclosed yesterday (14) by the Confederation of Brazilian Hides and Skins Industries (CICB).<\/p>\n
From January to November, exports of the product generated US$ 1 billion, which represented a reduction of 42% over the same period in 2008. According to the president at the CICB, Wolfgang Goerlich, the value exported should end the year 40%, or US$ 700 million, lower than revenues in 2008, which totalled US$ 1.88 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur target for 2010 is to recover at least 50% of this difference, or around US$ 350 million, and at the same time redouble efforts to expand sales on the domestic market,\u201d said the executive in a CICB press statement.<\/p>\n
