American Raw Material Will Remain Its Engine Of Agricultural Export.

American raw materials company, including manufacturing enterprises, processing enterprises and middlemen, has exported 90% of the gross domestic product value of raw materials in the United States, and is also the main supplier of raw materials for the global leather manufacturing industry.

According to the US Department of agriculture data, the total export volume of salt and wet cowhide increased by 4% over US $955 million.

China is the largest buyer of the above products, with an import value of US $619 million, an increase of 7% over the same period last year.

The total value of imports in China's Taiwan region was 68 million US dollars, up by 7% compared with the same period last year.

Most of the major leather tanning countries in the world, including Mexico, EU countries, Thailand and Vietnam, are importing salt and wet cowhide from the United States.

Only South Korea is an exception. The total value of imports from the United States ranked second in the first half of this year. The total value of imports in the first half of this year was $142 million, down 11% from the same period last year.

The total export value of blue wet cowhide is increasing.

In the first half of the year, the total export value of wet blue leather exceeded US $451 million, up by 13% over the same period last year.

Several US companies continue to shift their export products from raw materials to semi processed wet blue to increase added value and expand profits.

China is still the first importer of such products, with a total value of US $168 million, an increase of 4% over the same period last year. Other major importing countries and regions include EU countries, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Mexico and Dominica.

Although the value of the export of raw material in the United States is growing, the industry is still facing a situation of shortage of raw material skin supply by nearly 7% of the slaughter of cattle.

Declining slaughter and reduced supply of cowhide are still the main trend in recent years.

In the first half of the year, a large number of American pigskin used in making shoe lining leather was exported to US $27 million, down 8%.

Mexico is the largest importer of such products, with a total import value of US $13 million.

The pig skin industry in the United States still faces the problem of entering the Chinese market, and China is the largest leather manufacturing country in the world.

"Although there are many uncertainties in the supply of leather, the barriers to market access and the main leather manufacturing market, the raw material will remain the engine of its agricultural export engine," said StephenSothmann, chairman of the USHSLA. "This is enough to prove the flexibility and creativity of US companies."
