The value chain for this subsector comprises of Production of livestock (Animal Husbandry); slaughterhouse and preservation of hides and skins; tannery; production of leather goods; marketing and distribution. These are the areas that will be analyzed to diagnose the problems and develop interventions to enhance productivity and competitiveness for the export market.
