Technology Issues in Pakistan's Leather Tanning SMEs
Abstract
IntroductionThe roots of Pakistan's leather industry can be traced from the 'silk route' era. Today this industry thrives in many aspects as a truly indigenous industry with its contribution only second to the cotton textile industry. The leather sector contributes around 5% to GDP and 7% to the total exports of the country (SMEDA, 2003) which is a reflection of its contribution to the national economy. Despite the importance of this sector in the national economy, the sector is facing severe technology management issues.Downloads
