Shoe and Footwear Market Impacted by Floods, Prices to Remain Stable

Kathmandu. The floods in Bhote Koshi on August 26 and subsequent landslides have also affected the domestic shoe and footwear industry. Businessmen say there is an extreme shortage of raw materials due to the closure of the northern border. They state that the disruption of highways during the festival season has severely impacted business.

Despite any difficult circumstances, businessmen say there will be no shortage of shoes and sandals in the market for Dashain-Tihar, and consumers will be able to buy shoes and sandals at the old prices.
