In the first four months 2006, Vietnam exported 2.89 million pairs of waterproof shoes worth US $19.25 million, representing year–on–year rise of 36.82 percent and 38.82 percent, respectively.
These products have been shipped to more than 30 countries in the world, with EU taking the top spot on the list.
During the January–April 2006 period, exports turnover to the EU market earned $18.04 million for 2.7 million pairs, recording an increase of 42.3 percent and 62.93 percent in term of value and volume, respectively, in comparison with same period 2005.
England market accounts for 1.82 million pairs for $13.19 million, registering year–on–year rise of 66.06 percent and 87.63 percent, respectively, while Belgium imported are 140.18 thousand pairs against 3.18 thousand pairs of same period 2005.
EU markets including Australia, Canada and Taiwan witnessed high growth rate, but with limited revenues.
Vietnamese enterprises are seeking for customers in Japan and Canada because these two markets have big demands.
Japan is exporting about from $80 to $100 million worth of shoes, annually, but Vietnamese goods are seldom on sales at this market.
For Canada, its Government has officially been limiting the waterproof shoes from China, resulting in great opportunities for Vietnamese shoes.
