Hait Klein, executive director of the Brazilian Footwear Association, said that Brazil's footwear exports are expected to continue to grow in 2019.
According to the latest data from the Brazilian Footwear Association, Brazil exported a total of 10.5 million pairs of footwear products in November, with a total value of US$84.78 million. Compared with the same period in 2017, the export volume increased by 6.6% and the export volume increased by 1.6%. Despite the increase in October, in the first 11 months, Brazil’s footwear exports fell by 8.6% and exports fell by 9.8%.
Hil Klein, executive director of the Brazilian Footwear Association, said that the number of footwear exports and exports this year could not exceed 2017. This was mainly due to poor export performance in the first half of 2018, partly due to the strike of truck drivers. Hite Klein is optimistic about the export of footwear in 2019. He said that Brazil's footwear exports are expected to continue to grow in 2019. As North American buyers re-select a substitute for footwear production, Brazil will benefit from ongoing trade disputes between the US and China.
