Iranian Shoe Exporters Struggling to Survive

Iran exported $47 million worth of shoes in the first seven months of the current Iranian year (started March 21), according to a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Managers and Experts of Iranian Shoe Industry.
"The figure shows a 7% decline compared with the corresponding period of last year,” Ali Lashkari was also quoted as saying by the news portal of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, adding that the average price of exports declined by 11.5% during the period on a year-on-year basis.
He noted that Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan and Azerbaijan are the main destinations of shoes made in Iran.
