There is evidence that leather, leather and wet leather produced by Brazil tanneries are becoming less competitive in the market. To our previous mention of many times, the raw materials of ultra-high price, plus the import tariffs of Brazil leather and wet blue leather imported from the European Union, Brazil's leather products have almost lost the market in the European Union.

Besides, the cost of energy and wages is increasing. Now Brazil has higher production costs than European countries, but production efficiency is lower than that of Europe. Although Brazil can produce high quality finished leather, they can only produce and sell wet blue because of cost reasons. This sad reality can not be changed in the short term.
