Sales amounted to 774,500 pairs, up 126.6% from Q1 2018. Export revenue climbed 71.2% to USD 5.24 million. The UAE placed 13<sup>th<\/sup> on the list of leading buyers of shoes from Brazil and were the only Arab country in the top 20 during Q1 2019. The figures are from the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.abicalcados.com.br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Abical\u00e7ados<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Overall, 35 million pairs of shoes were shipped from Brazil in Q1, grossing USD 267.1 million, up 14.9% and 6.4% year-on-year. The leading importers of footwear from Brazil were the United States, Argentina and France.<\/p>\n<p>In March alone, however, total footwear exports from Brazil slid in volume and revenue, according to Abical\u00e7ados. Shipped volume was down 7.5% to 9 million pairs, with revenue dropping by 9.4% to USD 83.9 million,<\/p>\n<p>Abical\u00e7ados reported that March numbers were impacted by weaker sales to Argentina. March saw exports to Argentina slide by 50% in revenue and 34.9% in volume over March 2018, to 880,000 pairs and USD 10.96 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShrinking domestic consumption, coupled with measures designed by the IMF to trim down imports, is causing exports (from Brazil to Argentina) to decline since the second half of last year,\u201d a press release quoted Abical\u00e7ados CEO Heitor Klein as saying. Constant exchange rate fluctuations, which pose problems when it comes to price formation, also weighed down on the month\u2019s numbers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-212128\">Marcello Casal Jr.\/Ag\u00eancia Brasil<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q1 saw 774,000 pairs of shoes shipped from Brazil to the Arab country, up 127% from a year ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":212128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[1856,28575,2188,137,1867,6403],"class_list":{"0":"post-212131","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-abicalcados","9":"tag-emirados-arabes-unidos-en","10":"tag-export","11":"tag-exportacao","12":"tag-footwear","13":"tag-shoe"},"wps_subtitle":"Q1 saw 774,000 pairs of shoes shipped from Brazil to the Arab country, up 127% from a year ago.
