Already struggling to meet targets, Nepal’s footwear export numbers look at an uncertain future

Nepal exported footwear worth Rs 2.36 billion in the fiscal year 2014-15, this declined to Rs 767 million in the fiscal year 2019-20.

The country’s footwear export has declined by 67.51 percent in the last five years due to competitive prices in the international market, lack of technology and skilled manpower, say manufacturers and traders.
