Double, down 45.4%, accounting for 21.1% of total exports.

Three major factors caused difficulties in exporting: "The rising cost of raw materials caused by rising prices of raw materials, the continuous appreciation of foreign exchange, and international trade barriers are the three major factors that currently affect Sichuan shoe product exports." Related officials of Chengdu Customs stated that the The price of raw materials for footwear such as cotton, leather, rubber, plastics, and chemical fiber continued to rise, causing the cost of footwear to continue to rise.

At present, under the influence of high pork prices, the price of raw pig skin has also risen. The price of a raw pigskin has risen from last year's 40 to 50 yuan and has now exceeded the one hundred yuan mark.

In addition, the continuous rapid appreciation of ***, making the shoe company's profit margins are compressed. "This year, the pace of renminbi appreciation has apparently accelerated. The acceleration of the renminbi appreciation rate has not only led to a further reduction in the company's profit margins, but also has become one of the most uncertain factors in the export enterprises' bargaining orders, out of concerns about exchange rate risks. Companies are reluctant to accept long lists."
