Exports to Africa and the Middle East were 76 million 890 thousand US dollars and 66 million 370 thousand US dollars respectively, down 6.3% and 37% respectively.

In March, exports to these emerging markets showed a downward trend, and exports to ASEAN, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East decreased by 37.7%, 8.4%, 45.9% and 66.2% respectively.

In March, the export volume of Guangdong shoes decreased significantly, except for the traditional production slump after the Spring Festival holiday, some shoe manufacturers in the Pearl River Delta region had a large gap in employment, which also had a certain impact on the export of shoes in March.

At the same time, the future of Guangdong shoe exports still faces pressure from the outbreak of trade measures and cost increase.

According to the customs analysis, China has increasingly attached importance to income distribution recently. Apart from the obvious increase in the wages of workers, the matching living conditions have improved significantly and the labor cost has been raised.

In addition, the cost of raw materials has gradually increased. Due to the drought and rubber production in Southwest China, the price of shoe sole has risen. At the same time, since April last year, due to some restrictive measures on raw material export in some underdeveloped areas such as Southeast Asia and Africa, the situation of supply and demand has not been met. The price of raw materials imported from abroad has continued to rise, and the cost of employment and materials has increased the profit margins of enterprises.
