Footwear Export Targets at US$14 Billion in 2015
Vietnam targets to earn US$13.5-14 billion from footwear export in 2015 and bring the localisation rate to 65-70 percent.
The country will also focus on improving the quality of human resources to create high-quality products, raise productivity and ensure social security and livelihoods for labourers, and meet environmental and social standards.
To achieve this goal, Vietnam has grasped export opportunities from free trade agreements with the EU, South Korea and Trans-Pacific Partnership from the beginning of this year.
