Shoes from Guangdong cost 30% more
05/05/2011
Chinese media have reported talking to buyers at the event who claimed shoes made in Guangdong province, a huge hub for footwear manufacture for many years, are now 30% more expensive than footwear from more newly developed provinces inland.
Further north, but still on the coast, manufacturers in Wenzhou in Zhejiang province have said they are finding it difficult to make any money from footwear production because of increases in the cost of labour and materials.
Anhui is one of the provinces to have made progress in the footwear industry.
