Gombe State Set to Establish Tannery to Develop Leather Industry, Boost Agri-economy.<\/h2>

Gombe State Set to Establish Tannery to Develop Leather Industry, Boost Agri-economy<\/div><\/div>
The Gombe State Government, through the Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) project, is set to establish a tannery to harness the state’s vast livestock resources and stimulate economic growth within the leather industry.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
The State Coordinator Gombe State L-PRES, Professor Usman Bello Abubakar, announced this during a briefing with journalists following a recent study tour of the Kano Tannery industry.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
Professor Abubakar stated that the decision to establish a tannery was influenced by the significant progress made in the preparations for the International Cattle Market and Modern Abbatoir, adding that development of these facilities will create a favorable environment for the leather industry, further enhancing the state’s economic potential.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
“To support this project and ensure a consolidated and comprehensive development along the livestock value chain, the tanning and leather industries should not be overlooked considering their role in the overal livestock sector.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
“Driven by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s commitment to revitalizing and overhauling the livestock sector, Gombe L-PRES conducted this three-day study tour of Kano State’s tanneries to gain insights into the tanning industry and its operations with the aim of establishing a similar industry in Gombe State”, he noted.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
“We get valuable insights into best practices, challenges, and opportunities within the Kano State leather production sector. By leveraging this knowledge, we aim to establish a more effective leather industry here in Gombe State” he added.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
Gombe State is now strategizing on raw material sourcing, tanning technologies, quality control, marketing, and industry dynamics to establish a thriving leather production sector for job creation, revenue generation, and economic growth.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
In addition to the ongoing plans to establish an international cattle market and modern abattoir, the L-PRES project is currently working to map and redemarcate grazing reserves and cattle routes to promote peace and stability by addressing recurring conflicts between herders and farmers in the state.<\/div><\/div>
Recall that, in June of this year, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya led a delegation to Morocco to study the country’s agricultural sector, focusing on dairy and beef industries with a view to learning about modern agricultural practices, technologies, and approaches to advancing agro-allied industrialization and businesses towards building a more robust and sustainable agri-economy.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
