President Obama’s birthday is tomorrow!

 

President Obama’s birthday is tomorrow, and I’ll be honest with you: He’s never really been one for fancy gifts or big shiny bows. It’s just not who he is. I’ll tell you what he does want. President Obama believes in matching generosity with purpose. And so the gift that would mean the most to him is support for the Obama Foundation and the important work we’re all doing together. Nothing would make his day more than knowing that folks around the country are joining together to do work that matters. Will you help make Barack’s birthday extra special by making a gift in his honor to support the Obama Foundation? SEND MY BIRTHDAY GIFT The Obama Foundation has continued building a movement of hope in the years since we left the White House. I’m so proud of that work, and how the entire team has remained true to a vision for this country that lifts up individuals and communities to be their best selves. That vision depends, and has always depended, on the contributions of countless people like you. President Obama has always been clear about that—the only way we create change is together. I hope you’ll chip in today to show him how committed you are. Your support will power work like the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance—one of the programs that is closest to Barack’s heart. He started the program because he believes that we have to do more to help boys and young men of color reach their full potential. That work has never been more urgent than it is right now. Black youth face systematic discrimination that limits their opportunities and threatens their lives. Every time we break down those walls, we help heal our communities. Every young leader who finds a mentor or a path forward through My Brother’s Keeper Alliance makes the light of hope glow a little brighter. That sounds like a pretty nice birthday gift to me, and you can help make it happen. Your gift for our mission will be so important, because it won’t just be a present to the President—it will have an impact for young leaders all across the country. We’ve got just a couple days left to make Barack’s birthday especially meaningful. Please, make your contribution today. Thank you for your continued support. Warmly, —Valerie Valerie Jarrett Chief Executive Officer The Obama Foundation MAKE A GIFT *If you’ve already made a donation in honor of President Obama’s birthday, thank you!

WorldFootwear:Global footwear production down by 1.5 billion pairs in 2023

30 July 2024

Yearbook
Global footwear production down by 1.5 billion pairs in 2023
Jul 30, 2024 / World Footwear Yearbook

Last year saw footwear production and exports decline by 6% and 9.1% respectively, according to data published in the World Footwear Yearbook 2024, as recently released by APICCAPS, the Portuguese Footwear Association

Drop in global footwear production

In 2023 global footwear production decreased by 6% to 22.4 billion pairs, the lowest point in a decade when discounting the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021.

There had been a loss of 1.5 billion pairs, following a drop in consumption in the main markets, as represented by the United States (-749 million pairs), China (-398 million pairs), and the European Union (-399 million pairs). Last year, 14 billion pairs were exported worldwide, down by 9.1% over the previous period. Despite the decline of 6.1% in the value of exports, the $168 billion registered in 2023 was the second-highest level on record.

The footwear industry continues to be strongly concentrated in Asia where almost 9 out of every 10 pairs of shoes are manufactured, resulting in a share of 87.1% of the world total.

China is the world’s largest footwear producer manufacturing 12.3 billion pairs in 2023 and capturing almost 55% of the global market share. India increased its share, now being accountable for 11.6% of the world total.

Asia accounts for more than half of global consumption

In 2023 Asia’s consumption accounted for more than half (54.7%) of the worldwide total, an increase in the share registered for this continent in the previous year. Europe and North America followed with shares of 13.9% and 13.4% respectively.

Per capita footwear consumption varies from 1.5 pairs in Africa to 4.6 pairs in North America.
China remains the leading consumer of footwear, although its share of the global total has further declined to now stand at 17.1%. Consumption in the United States recorded a significant reduction with the country losing the second position achieved in the previous year and exchanging places, once again, with India.

The European Union, when taken as one region, represents the third largest consumer market for footwear with 1 948 million pairs consumed in 2023.

A significant setback for footwear exports in 2023

Global footwear exports amounted to 14 billion pairs and $168 billion in 2023, implying a 9.1% and a 6.1% year-on-year decrease in volumes traded and value of transactions respectively.

Over the last decade, excluding 2020, the annual export volume fluctuated between 14 and 16 billion pairs with no discernible long-term trend. By comparison, the value of exports in 2023 climbed to reach $168 billion, the second-highest level on record and corresponding to a 24% increase when viewed against 2014 levels.

Amidst this challenging landscape, Asian countries consolidated their dominance in the global footwear trade, with their collective share rising to 84.6% from 83.9% in 2022. Conversely, Europe's share contracted slightly to 12.8%.

China stands out as the source of 63.8% of total exports, increasing from 61.3% in 2022. Vietnam ranks a distant second at 9.5%, followed by Indonesia at 3.2%. These three countries taken together account for over three-quarters of worldwide footwear exports.

Average worldwide export price continues an upward trend to reach $12
The average export price per pair of footwear reached 12 dollars in 2023, representing a 3.2% increase over 2022, a substantial increase of 38.8% over the past decade. Over that decade, textile footwear saw the most substantial price appreciation with a remarkable 65% increase. Leather footwear prices showed a modest increase of 24% over the period.

Leather footwear leads exports in value, but rubber & plastic leads in volume

When considering the value of exports, leather footwear accounts for 38% of the total value due to its higher average price. In terms of the volume of footwear exported, rubber & plastic footwear commands the pole position, accounting for half of the global exports.

Χωρίς τα έντομα θα άδειαζαν τα σουπερμάρκετ

Οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι δεν συμπαθούν και πολύ τα έντομα. Κι όμως χωρίς αυτά πάρα πολλά από τα φαγητά που τρώμε κάθε μέρα δεν θα υπήρχαν πλέον.

Το 2018 η περιβαλλοντική εταιρεία NABU, το Υπουργείο Περιβάλλοντος του κρατιδίου της Κάτω Σαξονίας και η αλυσίδα εκπτωτικών σουπερμάρκετ Penny προέβησαν σε μία εντυπωσιακή κίνηση ευαισθητοποίησης των καταναλωτών, αφαιρώντας από τα ράφια ενός καταστήματος όλα τα προϊόντα που δεν θα υπήρχαν χωρίς τα έντομα – από τα 2.500 διαθέσιμα προϊόντα έμειναν μόλις περίπου 1.000.
