Indonesian Footwear Association set targets

With 3 Vietnamese companies investing in Indonesia, the Indonesian Footwear Association (Aprisindo) set an export growth target of 20% in 2008, from $1 billion 600 million last year to $1 billion 900 million.

Eddy Widjanarko, chairman of the Indonesian Footwear Association, said that the 3 Vietnamese enterprises to invest in Indonesia, 2 of which will operate this year, will produce 500 thousand pairs of shoes and 400 thousand pairs of shoes each month.

At present, the total value of shoes exports nationwide reaches an average of US $150 million per month.

A few days ago, when he held the twenty-seventh international footwear conference in Jakarta, he explained that "Indonesia's shoe making enterprises occupy fourth place after China, Vietnam and India."

The conference, which was attended by 14 shoe manufacturers, explored the situation in Indonesia and made preparations for investment in Indonesia.

The 3 shoe factories that will invest in Indonesia have 7 production lines, averaging 60 thousand pairs per 1 production lines per month.

He said Adidas group will also build 3 shoe factories worth 200 million US dollars in Indonesia, though its partners have suffered losses due to improper management.

Adidas has promised to order in Indonesia, although not long ago, Adidas stopped a contract with Prima Inreksa Industries.

Aprisindo1 made a request to Adidas group to extend the contract and increase production, but has not received the response from Adidas's management department.

Addie said that the 5 ministerial joint decision (SKB) on industrial electricity saving will not affect the performance of shoe factories, because the shoemaking industry is a labor-intensive industry and electricity consumption is not too large.

He added that 100 large shoe making industries in Java did not have much impact on the 5 Ministerial Decision.

"Shoemaking enterprises with 10 thousand employees only need 5000 kilowatts (KVA)."

At the meeting, Aprisindo, an Indonesian representative, proposed that foreign enterprises could invest in Indonesia and get support from the participants.

According to the Ansyari Bukhori of Changan textile, machinery and metals Bureau of the Ministry of industry, the total value of footwear exports in 2010 was set at a target of US $2 billion, of which 50% of the total output was domestic demand and the remaining 50% were for export purposes.
