GOLOS ARMENIYI - FIVE MILLION PAIRS OF SHOES CAN BE MANUFACTURED IN ARMENIA PER YEAR
YEREVAN, November 25. /ARKA/. Armenia can bring its footwear industry
output up to 5 million pairs per year, Golos Armeniyi newspaper says.
The country has large footwear manufacturing capacities (Yerevan
leather Plant is the biggest), and if they are used, the output may
reach 5 million per year, still far from 18 million pairs produced
in 1990, the newspaper says referring to Armen Yeganyan, the head of
industrial policies department at Armenia's ministry of economy.
The problem is to provide the national footwear sector with
good-quality leather supplies and to ensure the entire chain, from
proper cattle housing conditions to civilized slaughtering, from
training professional fashion designers to showcasing products at
foreign target markets, he said.
Some five up-to-standard slaughteries are currently built in Armenia
as part of cooperation between the ministry of economy and the
ministry of agriculture. Apart from this, the government Industrial
Development Fund provides co-financing for companies to participate
in international exhibitions, for their certification, and etc.
"The same can be said about the textile industry, and we are preparing
to participate in an Armenian fashion event in Moscow to showcase
our models and to promote the demand. We need to just work hard...",
Yeganyan said.
According to Armenia's Union of Local Manufacturers, a total of about
4,000 tons of leather is imported to the country every year. -0--
