These international events are expected to generate an impressive $25.45 million in business over the next year, demonstrating the robust potential of Brazil’s leather sector.
At the Shoes and Leather Vietnam fair, Brazilian companies such as America Leather, A. P. Müller, Durlicouros, Curtume CBR, and JBS Couros collectively reported over $3.1 million in immediate business deals. Looking ahead, the prospects for the next 12 months are even more promising, with an estimated $10.55 million in potential deals.
