The country shipped out 9.86 million pairs, a fall of 14% in the same comparison. The data was shown this Thursday (04) by the Brazilian Footwear Industry Association (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.abicalcados.com.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABICAL\u00c7ADOS<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>From January to September, exports totaled USD 700 million, a 12% drop over the same period of 2017. The country shipped out 78.87 million pairs, down 10.7% in the same comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Heitor Klein, ABICAL\u00c7ADOS\u2019 president, blamed the devaluation of emerging markets against the dollar for the poor performance. \u201cIf a strong dollar favors pricing for the Brazilian export, this effect is offset when the importer\u2019s currency has also weakened,\u201d he said, according to a statement by the association. \u201cIn Argentina, Brazil\u2019s main market, the peso has gone down 100% in the year\u2019s first nine months,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>United Arab Emirates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The United Arab Emirates is the only Arab country among Brazil\u2019s top 20 footwear importers. And exports to the country generated USD 640,700 in September, up 181.5% over the same month of last year, according to data from the Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mdic.gov.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MDIC<\/a>). The dirham, the UAE\u2019s currency, is pegged to the dollar, thus, it hasn\u2019t suffered the devaluation seen in other emerging markets.<\/p>\n<p>However, year-to-date, exports to the UAE have dropped 18.3% over the same period of 2017, to USD 7.43 million. In the period, Brazil shipped out 764,000 pairs to the country, an 18.9% fall in the same comparison.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by S\u00e9rgio Kakitani <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-202165\">Peter Muller\/Cultura Creative\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign sales totaled USD 71.4 million in September, a drop of 26%.
