Footwear exports grew
Sales abroad of footwear, between January and May 2021, reached a volume of 49.2 million pairs, worth US $ 323.5 million, according to data provided by SECEX. Compared to the same months of the previous year, the variations were positive at 24.7% and 9.8% respectively.
Given the normalization of trade worldwide and the evolution of vaccination, the recovery of a share of what was lost in 2020 is expected, according to statements by Haroldo Ferreira, executive president of ABICALÇADOS.
"In the coming months, the comparison base will not be as weak as that of the first five months, so we will grow less", added the leader.
