Among them, exports to Panama and India grew most rapidly, reaching 4 and 8 respectively.

At present, the United States, ASEAN and the EU are still the main market for Guangdong shoe exports.

In the first half of June this year, Guangdong exported nearly 500 million pairs of shoes to the United States, an increase of 9%; ASEAN's more than 400 million pairs increased by 1.1 times; the EU's more than 200 million pairs increased by 24%; the total exports of the above-mentioned three markets accounted for 6 of the total volume of Guangdong shoe exports in the same period.

First, the rise of protectionism in the international trade leaves great uncertainty in the recovery of exports.

The two is the rising price of upstream materials of footwear products, increasing the production cost of export enterprises.

Three, a new round of appreciation of RMB will further increase export pressure.
