Abstract:

In this paper consist of growth and export performance of Tamilnadu leather industry faced by social and economic problems in particular leather products. In all over the world leather and leather products are widely used for the manufacturer of footwear. Till the end of 1960’s the major meat producing countries had also facilities for running and finishing of hides and skins and the conversion of these into a variety of leather products for use either within the country or for export among developed countries. The leather industry growth has been sustained by the country’s large livestock population, which claims a unique position in the world; all these items consume about 60 per cent of the total leather production. The manufacture and exports of leather products is systematically promoted as their value addition, works out to the extent of four to five times over raw materials. The restriction on the exports of finished leathers with 5 per cent duty along with ISI norms was introduced. Liberal imports of raw materials, leather machines, chemicals and auxiliaries have been the major highlights of the new policy. Leather industry is one of the major industries having a very high degree of impact on the environment both the point of view of consumption of raw materials as well as disposal of waste products. The conversion or raw material of leather needs consumption of large amount of water energy.
