Indonesia'S Shoes Exports Have Potential To Break Through 8 Billion US Dollars

Recently, Indonesia

Addie, President of the association, told reporters: "we

Production capacity is only 50% to 60%, and there is an opportunity to raise it to $8 billion. "

He is confident that export figures will be realized in the next 3 to 4 years.

Exports still rely on tradition.

Such as Europe and the United States.

"We hope that Europe and the United States will grow. The two countries still dominate the market and become the destination countries for the export of shoes."

Addie claimed that the export of shoes products in China is very dependent on foreign orders, and domestic shoe manufacturers are well prepared to receive orders no matter how large they are.

Besides, global economic factors also have a great impact on orders received.

The government of Burma is very supportive of the shoe industry, and many shoe industry investment plans have been moved to Burma.

He said: "the other factors that are causing the impact are competition from Burma and Vietnam. Now Burma, our main competitor, is far behind Vietnam."

Addie hoped that the government could give full support to the footwear industry and vigorously promote exports. The support needed is to create a stable political and economic atmosphere so that investors can feel safe and comfortable to continue to develop business in our country.

"If the global atmosphere is favorable, reducing unnecessary demonstrations in our country or too many new regulations, exports will continue to increase to US $8 billion."

He continued to say that the export of shoes this year is expected to reach US $4 billion 700 million to $4 billion 800 million, lower than the US $5 billion target set at the beginning of this year.

"According to our data, as of September this year, the export of shoes was only $4 billion 200 million, and I think it is difficult to reach $5 billion, which may be between 4 billion 700 million and 4 billion 800 million dollars."

Europe's unfavorable political and economic atmosphere has an impact on the export of shoes to China. In fact, Europe has become the second largest export market for shoes, and the United States is the first.

"Our exports to Europe account for 27% of the total export of the country's shoe products, because there are many problems in this area, which makes us difficult to reach."

Besides, China's shoe products must compete fiercely with Vietnam and Burma, which produce the same products.

"The support of other governments has increased almost no cost throughout the year, and there are other burdens on the annual increase of our labour wages."

Addie claimed that this issue made it difficult for Chinese shoe manufacturers to sell products abroad.
