All Members of the Council

Dear Members,

Sub: Two Day Buyer Seller Meet in Dubai during December 15 and 16, 2015

We wish to inform that Council is organizing the Second edition of the Buyer Seller Meet in Dubai during December 15-16, 2015. Council organized the first edition of the BSM in Dubai during Dec 2013 successfully with a large scale buyer turnout of 180.

As you are kindly aware, that UAE is the growing and upcoming market for the leather and leather products. India’s export of leather & leather products to UAE has increased from US$ 126.52 mn in 2012-13 to US$ 180.27 mn in 2013-14, registering a growth of around 43% over the corresponding period last year.

Thus considering the conducive market scenario in the UAE, in order to consolidate and further enhance India’s export of Leather & Leather Products to this potential market, we propose to organise a Two-Day Buyer-Seller Meet in Dubai during December 15 and 16, 2015 for promoting Indian Leather Products. A professional Marketing & PR Agency will be engaged to carry out a Direct Marketing/Publicity Campaign and to organize the Event in Dubai in association with the Embassy of India, UAE and Consulate General of India, Dubai.

Since the proposed BSM has been approved under MAI Scheme of Government of India, the participation fee has been very nominally fixed at Rs.1.00 lakh per company to facilitate participation of large number of member exporters in the BSM.

IIn this background, we request all Member Exporters to consider participating in this important Event in Dubai for exploring the possibilities of enhancing India’s export of leather products to Dubai.

Interested Members may confirm their participation by sending the filled-in Application Form along with the Participation Fee of Rs.1,00,000/- through a Cheque/DD drawn in favour of Council for Leather Exports at the earliest to enable us finalize the list of participants and undertake all the required logistic and marketing arrangements in advance.

With Regards,

R Ramesh Kumar
Executive Director
