This equates to 42.9% of the country’s entire shoe exports in terms of quantity and 41% in terms of value.

 

Of the shoes exported, rubber and plastic shoes accounted for the largest quantity of footwear exports at 910 million pairs (+19.2%) Leather upper shoes were the second largest at 370 million pairs (+9.4%).
