At the same time, the annual output of India was 2 billion pairs, and the labor cost was 0.65 dollars / hour. In Brazil last year, the annual output of all kinds of shoes was nearly 900 million pairs, and the labor cost was 4.35 dollars / hour. Last year, Vietnam produced nearly 800 million pairs of shoes and the labor cost was 0.48 dollars per hour.

"From the data, it is also more difficult for these countries to take the place of China's big shoe industry in ten years," said Su Chaoying, director of the China Leather Association. "Chinese enterprises should realize that the competitive pressure in the future is still great. We must seize the opportunity to speed up the restructuring, pformation and upgrading.

Su Chaoying said that China has many advantages in developing the leather industry, such as abundant raw material resources and perfect products.
