At present, the export footwear trend is improving, but the production enterprises still need to pay attention to the following aspects: first, after the Spring Festival, the employment demand of enterprises is large, and there are many difficulties in recruiting workers and novice.

Two, because of drought and rubber production in Southwest China, prices have risen, resulting in increased production costs and reduced profit margins.

The three is the increase of factory inspection abroad, and virtually all the pressure has also been increased.

Hangzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau recommends that enterprises should strengthen the training of new recruits to ensure the normal operation of all processes; two, enterprises should pay attention to improving the rate of qualified products and reduce the loss of raw materials; three, we must improve the quality management level of enterprises, and respond positively to foreign inspection plants with a positive attitude so as to maintain a good momentum in the export of footwear.
