The president of the Chamber of Footwear Industry of Jalisco (CICEJ) -José Arias- said \ the entity registered a 40% increase in contacts of foreign businessmen interested in manufacturing their products in the region. This situation occurs in the context of the commercial war between China and the United States, which favors alternative suppliers such as Mexico.
The goal of Canadian and US businessmen, in some cases of major brands, is to replace Asian producers and avoid being hit by the dispute between the two nations, sources in the sector reported.
