Istanbul Leather and Leather Products Exporters' Association (IDMIB) continues its activities in order to increase the market diversity of our country in exports, to increase the market share of our country in the sector and to reach the sustainable export target. The United States (USA) is among the target markets within the scope of both the Far Countries Strategy of our Ministry of Commerce and the export targets of our Union. Since the USA is the target country, Turkey's value-added exports are of great importance in the shoe product group, which is the relevant sector of the delegation.
