Vietnam: Footwear manufacturers urged to source local materials

16/01/2013
The Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade is targeting export turnover of $8 billion this year, an increase of 10.4% over last year, which it hopes will be driven mainly by sport shoes.

Local reports say the government has urged the footwear industry to increase the production of raw materials so that 60% per cent of the industry's demand can be satisfied by domestic materials, instead of relying on imported components, for instance from Brazil and India.

Footwear manufacturers are working with the garment and textile industries to establish an industrial complex specialising in producing footwear accessories.
