1/4 of them came from Wuchuan.

Guangdong Wuchuan plastic shoes industry association president Yang Dilin told reporters when interviewed.

Wuchuan, Guangdong, has the title of "China's hometown of plastic shoes".

Yang Dilin said that there are more than 400 plastic shoe enterprises in Wuchuan, and some of them are domestic and export oriented. In recent years, the annual export value of the products has reached more than US $600 million.

In the 90s of last century, Wuchuan plastic shoes began to enter the overseas market, of which 70% of plastic shoes were exported to Africa, and also exported to Europe and the United States, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other regions.

In Wuchuan, known as the "shoe city of South China", which is known for its traditional shoe making industry, the reporters saw signs on the two sides of the road hanging around the shoe making enterprises. There were exhibition halls in front of each shoe factory, and all kinds of plastic shoes were full of shelves.

At the peak season of production, besides the local merchants, we can also see three groups of dark African wholesalers listening to the salesmen patiently, and some people ordering the order after bargaining.

The reporter approached an African man who was watching goods alone. He asked him questions in Chinese. He was judging whether the other side could understand him. He showed a white tooth and smiled. He said in fluent Chinese: "my name is man long. I am from Arusha, Tanzania, and I have opened a shoe trade company in Guangzhou. In the past 5 years, I have been in Wuchuan wholesale plastic shoes, no less than 4 containers."

He also said that he had a liking for plastic shoes in Wuchuan, not only because of its low price, durable materials, but also many styles, which was very popular with the African people and its sales were always good.

Yang Dilin said that the footwear industry in Wuchuan flourished in the late 70s of last century, from the original family workshop to the current assembly line business.

Beginning in 2012, Wuchuan began to have its own manufacturing.

Shoes and floral decoration, production capacity has also been greatly improved, while improving the production of plastic shoes materials and technology formulations, completed from the "injection shoes" to "blowing shoes" production innovation, "blowing shoes" has a more lightweight, compact, comfortable, non absorbent advantages.

Quanxing rubber and plastic shoes industry is the pioneer of Wuchuan plastic shoes in the African market. At present, it has set up sales offices in 4 countries such as Tanzania, Angola, Congo (Jin) and Garner.

After a few years, they had steadily stabilized and their business volume increased year by year.
