The period saw 1.32 million pairs sold to the Arab country, grossing USD 9.56 million. The United Arab Emirates placed 13<sup>th<\/sup> on the list of leading buyers of shoes from Brazil. The figures were released by Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.abicalcados.com.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abical\u00e7ados<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Year-to-date, exports reached 76.66 million pairs of Brazilian footwear for USD 644 million, up 8.2% in volume and 2.5% in revenue from a year ago. The leading destinations still are the United States, Argentina, and France.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Brazil exported 9.47 million pairs to the world, up 7.4% year-on-year. However, revenue was down by 6% year-on-year, grossing USD 78 million. The decline of more than 12% in the average price of the product shipped is one of the reasons for the results.<\/p>\n<p>Abical\u00e7ados\u00a0 CEO Harold Ferreira, who took office in early August, said in a press release that the uneven result in volume and revenue may be explained by the dollar appreciation, which depreciates Brazilian footwear abroad, and the beginning of the Summer collection exports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the industry costs are in reals, when the dollar is appreciated we can sell for lower prices,\u201d Ferreira explains in the press release, stressing the 15% increase in slipper exports in August, which greatly impacts the overall result, considering that 50% of the exported volume from Brazil belongs to the segment. Figures from Abical\u00e7ados point out that the average price of shipped product in August was USD 8.24, down from USD 9.10 a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>The United States were the leading buyers abroad in August, up 18% in pairs (748,580) and 5.8% in revenue (USD 15.63 million) from a year ago. Year-to-date, Americans imported 8 million pairs for USD 135.87 million, up 32% and 35.4%, respectively, from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraditionally, 70% of American footwear imports are from China. With the new tariffs, US importers have sought alternative suppliers, opening the way for our product,\u201d Ferreira explained.<\/p>\n<p>Second leading destination abroad remains Argentina. August saw our neighbors importing 1.12 million pairs for USD 11 million, down 38% in volume and 29% in revenue from a year ago. Year-to-date, Argentineans imported 5.76 million pairs and USD 65.73 million, down 30.6% in volume and 36.5% in revenue from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>France, the third leading destination of Brazilian footwear abroad, imported 1.18 million pairs for USD 6.36 million in August, up almost 300% in volume and 52.4% in revenue from a year ago. Year-to-date, France imported 4.93 million pairs and USD 39.5 million, up 23.4% in volume and down 1.2% in dollars year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-256167\">Nelson Almeida\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazilian footwear exports to the United Arab Emirates hiked 86.4% in volume and 40.9% in revenue year-to-date through August from a year ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":256167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","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":[11085,9760,9561,1867,11086,11084,11087,11088,2765,9579,2650],"class_list":{"0":"post-256171","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-abicalcado-exports","9":"tag-abicalcados-en","10":"tag-exports-en","11":"tag-footwear","12":"tag-haroldo-ferreira-en","13":"tag-haroldo-ferreira","14":"tag-havaianas-en","15":"tag-sandals-en","16":"tag-shoes","17":"tag-uae-en","18":"tag-united-arab-emirates"},"wps_subtitle":"Brazilian footwear exports to the United Arab Emirates hiked 86.4% in volume and 40.9% in revenue year-to-date through August from a year ago.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
