Indonesia Is A Shoe Production Base. The Ministry Of Industry Is Confident That Its Export Volume Will Increase.

Along with some Shoe manufacturer Taking Indonesia as a production base, the Ministry of industry is deeply convinced. Export of shoes It can increase by more than 7%.

RaymondBangun, director of the integrated manufacturing and textile industry department, confirmed that the shoes made in Indonesia are far better than those in many other countries, especially from ASEAN neighbouring countries. A few days ago, he said in the cotton mill, "our shoe export growth can exceed 7%, because many orders are transferred to our country." He said that the international shoe labels now set up in China include Clark, Timberland, Echo and Fortuna.

From before, Indonesian shoe production The strong competitor is its production base in the east coast of China. However, wage increases in the region have prompted shoe manufacturers to consider moving their factories to Vietnam or Indonesia.

According to Lai Meng, the standard wage in Vietnam is cheaper than that in China. Nevertheless, the shoe industry in Indonesia still has an advantage in quality. "To encourage investors to ensure the quality of their shoes, they must be supported by incentives or technology." Lai Meng added that because the per capita income of our people increased, the demand for domestic shoe products was also large.

According to the Central Statistics Bureau of Indonesia and the Ministry of trade, the export of shoe products in the first month to February amounted to 510 million US dollars, which was lower than the $56 million 740 thousand that was implemented in the first two months of last year.

Export diversification

However, since 2009, the export of footwear products has been on the increase at least. Exports increase not only to competitors from other countries, but also to the obstacles to the destination countries of Indonesia's domestic product development.

In addition, export challenges also arise from the decline in demand for some major export destinations, such as the US and Europe, which are still facing the crisis. With the slow growth of export growth in the first quarter of this year, the Indonesian government is committed to expanding its exports to non-traditional markets in order to overcome this problem, hoping to maintain its trade surplus this year.

Pradnyawati, the brand and publicity director of the Ministry of trade, said the trade department and the industry have been paired with the South African industry. Some Indonesian entrepreneurs in the furniture department signed contracts with the South African industry. In addition, North Tower Minna (state oil) company also discussed the country's lubricants market. In 2011, Indonesia's exports to South Africa were still low, only 1 billion 400 million US dollars. In addition to South Africa, the Ministry of trade also targets markets in the South American region where bamboo and rattan furniture are needed, such as Brazil, Chile and Peru.

The 3 countries have always been imported from China, and the rising prices of products have prompted them to explore cooperation with Indonesia. There is a contract now.
