 Exploring New Horizons: Opportunities in the Leather Value Chain for Investors and Entrepreneurs.

The leather industry has a long and rich history, dating back to ancient times. Today, it remains an important contributor to the global economy. The leather value chain comprises several stages, starting with the procurement of raw materials such as hides and skins. The hides and skins are then processed, tanned, and finished, before being used to manufacture a wide range of products, from shoes and bags to upholstery and car seats.

There are many opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs to participate in the leather value chain. New technologies and innovations are emerging that are transforming the way leather is produced and used, creating exciting opportunities for those willing to embrace change.

FOOD SAFETY ALERT: FOOD HANDLING AND MARKETING.

 

A concerned citizen sent me this picture, he was wondering why these butchers were washing goats in this dirty water.

A more intense look at the picture will show various activities going on here: 1) slaughtering is going on beside the 2 buildings.

2)Ponmo processing also ongoing.

3) A processor is carrying  processed hides, another processor fetching this same dirty water for processing.

4) A table with processed hides and some quarters.

5) Horns and other wastes generated from slaughtering.

6) Did you notice the person sitting on the white bucket? guess what the person is doing?

 Do you know where these animal parts are been sold? Are you sure of what you are eating?

 Stay safe always, buy only  #beef, #beef-products certified wholesome from markets traceable to registered abattoirs only.

A thousand and one things are wrong with this picture. Food safety is everybody's business,stay safe.

This picture was taken by this concerned citizen while in traffic on the long bridge.
