Footwear exports to Brazil keep soaring

Viet Nam exported over US$121 million worth of footwear products to Brazil in the first six months of this year, up 55 per cent from the same period last year.

This is an impressive increase for the sector, considering the global financial crisis has had an adverse effect on consumer demand and the quantities of goods imported by many countries.

According to economic experts, the extent that Vietnamese footwear has penetrated the Brazilian market will create an opportunity for Vietnamese exporters to expand their operations in other markets in the South American region.
