Improve forecasts for footwear industry

By 2021, 8 million pairs are expected to be manufactured in the footwear industry, which would mean US $ 120 million in business.

In addition, there are projections of exporting 2 million pairs of that total, according to the president of the Chamber of Leather and Footwear of Nicaragua (CAMCUNIC) -Alejandro Delgado-. Destination countries sales abroad are Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras.

The objective would be fulfilled thanks to the purchase of school footwear and in the sugar sector, which stopped importing and acquired local products. The beginning of the school year was positive for the industry's performance in the first three months of 2021, after being impacted by the closing of the borders in 2020.
