Funding will help LHCA promote leather as a sustainable material.
The Leather and Hide Council of America (LHCA) has confirmed that it will receive funding of $5.5 million from the US Department of Agriculture’s regional agricultural promotion programme (#RAPP) to help fund its support of the US producers of hides and leather. By Leatherbiz.
LHCA president, Kerry Brozyna, said the organisation had been working for more than 100 years to support the US hide, skin and leather sectors. He said the RAPP funding would help LHCA “expand global demand for leather products and increase US exports by protecting and promoting the benefits of leather as a sustainable material”.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
