the second phase of Al-Robeky city for leather tanneries spans over 135,000 metres square.

The Ministry also seeks to operate 70 new factories in Al-Robeky city by the end of the current year, the minister added.

Kabil said that the city has now 40 operating factories that cover all activities of leather tannery, which operates 50 percent of the total space of the first phase situated over 173 metres square.
