The Libyan children\u2019s footwear company Al Heda will attend through the Brazilian Footwear buyer project, a partnership between Abical\u00e7ados and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) to promote Brazilian-made footwear abroad. Other companies from 11 countries will also participate through the project. BFShow will take place in S\u00e3o Paulo from May 18 to 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representatives from Yemen, the UAE, and Algeria were invited directly by BFShow, along with visitors from 56 other countries. In total, BFShow will host 164 invited foreign buyers. The fair\u2019s organizers also expect another 1,000 international visitors to attend independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, Abical\u00e7ados Business Coordinator Paola Pontin said the importers were invited based on their purchasing potential and market diversification. \u201cThey are buyers from different segments, with distinct profiles, which broadens opportunities for the brands participating in BFShow,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pontin also believes the fair is taking place at the ideal time for business deals, as importers usually replenish inventories for the second half of the year during this period. Data from Abical\u00e7ados show the sector exported 8.2 million pairs in April, up 9% from the same period last year, amid a recovery phase for the industry, which still accumulates an 11.7% decline in sales this year, totaling 34.5 million pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read also<\/em>:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/brazilian-footwear-to-join-saudi-fashion-week\/\">Brazilian footwear to join Saudi fashion week<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-410473\">Marcos Carrieri\/ANBA<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The footwear industry trade fair will take place next week in S\u00e3o Paulo.
