21/02/2018
Casual footwear manufacturer Alpargatas has reported net sales of 3.7 billion reais ($1.14 billion) in 2017, a decrease of 8.2% compared to the previous year. 

The company said this was down to a drop in revenue from both domestic and overseas market. 

Sales in Brazil, its domestic market, fell 8.3% to $740 million, while in Argentina, where Alpargatas was founded, revenue was down 14% to $204 million. 

Alpargatas’ international sales (those outside of Argentina and Brazil) dipped 1% to $196 million.
