Data show that Thailand currently has nearly 500 homemade footwear, 7 thousand workers directly employed. Footwear production index last year up 10.3% decline compared to the same period from 2000 to 2008 the average higher than 6.8%. Major export products such as male and female leather shoes and sports shoes, the first ten months last year, yields were down 24.68%, 20.27% and 28.20%.

Thai footwear and related accessories over the past five years exports increased steadily, until in 2008 a slight decline. Last year, footwear and related accessories exports totaled 794 million U.S. dollars, compared with 2008, the 971 million U.S. dollars over the same period fell 18.20%. Thailand’s footwear industry in 2009 the top five export markets were the United States, Denmark, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and Belgium, most of the major markets over the previous year atrophy of different degrees.

Last year, the footwear industry in Thailand have a greater impact than the news of the beginning of a famous brand sports shoes production base will gradually shift from Thailand to other countries. Part of the brand moved their production lines to other countries, certainly in the short term on the footwear industry in Thailand in employment, exports and so on impact, but the blessing in disguise, no bad thing, this effect is produced by another incentive system in Thailand Shoes who work hard, from the past for foreign brand production to create their own brands into the international market.

The face of economic crisis, the athletic footwear market, a significant reduction in shrink, some of Thailand’s manufacturer for the domestic shoe market, transition to the steady growth of shoes kind of product production. In addition, efforts to develop brand products in Thailand, Myanmar,

Malaysia and other neighboring countries in the market, have increased export sales, but also a Thai brand.

Thailand’s footwear industry in international trade also has to face many strong competitors, especially China, Vietnam, Indonesia and India, the four major international footwear powerhouse. In contrast, Thailand’s footwear industry in terms of production efficiency, product quality, style and even have an advantage, the proposed Free Trade Area of the signing will help the industry to obtain preferential tariff, thus enhancing the competitiveness of Thai industry.

The four major competitors in more with the Thai industry to compete in the middle and low product market, as high-end market, Italy, France, Switzerland and Taiwan in Asia, South Korea is Thailand’s competitors. From fashion design, fine art craft production to Thailand with the footwear industry who have a gap, needs to catch up.

In support of free trade agreements, the Thai industry should also insist on continuing to enhance product quality, shorten the distance with the leading competitors and catch up. In addition, with 560 million people of ASEAN to Thailand in terms of not only a huge economic entity, foreign trade, economic ally, but also footwear, a large consumer market for Thai footwear provide unlimited opportunity.

In early 2010, Thailand and the Thai Office of shoes for SME Association plans to go to India to participate in the “India International Leather Day” to expand the industry, network, explore business opportunities, seeking to have 1,166,000,000 people in this emerging market breakthrough. At the same time in the past two years, with the European competition in the market, some major competitors by the European Commission imposed anti-dumping duty, import tax rate three to five times higher than Thai products. January 2010 the European Commission decided to continue to be extended 15 months, the Thai industry Zhe Yi is a good news.

While these competitors have begun to turn the EU into the market order to reduce the ASEAN market, but with the gradual rebound in the world market this year, Europe and the United States economic recovery, Thailand vista footwear industry is looking forward to the day.

The world’s dependence on crude oil for transportation is particularly marked, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimating that fuels from crude oil currently supply about 96% of the worldwide energy demand for transport purposes.

As the world’s population grows and developing countries look to expand their economies, this insatiable demand for fossil fuels is unlikely to show any sign of easing, with oil and gas accounting for 60% of the world’s increasing energy demand between now and 2030. Furthermore, with most significant reserves of fossil fuels unevenly distributed throughout the world, energy security is set to become an increasingly critical economic and political issue over the coming decades. Real or perceived disruptions to the global supply of fossil fuels â?? notably crude oil â?? are likely to grow in frequency and cause wild fluctuations in the price of energy, as they have done so in the past.

However, one of the most pressing reasons for seeking alternative sources of energy and fuel lies in the form of climate change. The combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent â??greenhouse gas’ (GHG), which are considered to be responsible for â??global warming’. According to the IEA, if no changes are made to the world’s existing energy economy, related emissions of CO2 will grow marginally faster than energy use, meaning that by 2030 global CO2 emissions will be more than 50% higher than today. Over two-thirds of that projected increase in emissions is expected to come from emerging economies, such as India, China â?? both of which are set to rely heavily on coal-based power stations to drive their rapidly developing economies.

Key Market Issues

â?¢ Environmental regulations: Environmental targets set to control Carbon dioxide emissions globally are creating a path for lower carbon emission fuel technologies.

â?¢ Energy security:- Oil pricing structures are volatile and uncontrollable, due to the majority imported from non-domestic countries. This volatility is likely to increase as reserves of the natural resources decline.

â?¢ Resource allocation: Some of the currently available biofuels have a number of disadvantages that are related to their feedstock. The current costs of rapeseed biodiesel and ethanol from cereals or beets are much higher than the costs of petrol or diesel, with substantial subsidies required to make them competitive. Second generation biofuels have been developed due to limitations of first generation biofuels, primarily that the resources used threatens food supplies.

Key findings from this report

â?¢ Worldwide production of biodiesel reached 11,016m liters per annum, with the EU representing 72% of that global biodiesel production and consumption.
â?¢ Germany, France, Italy, the UK and Austria were the largest biofuels consumers in the EU in 2008. The USDA forecasts that biofuels consumption in the EU will continue to grow throughout 2009, despite the economic downturn. The increase is a result of mandates and tax incentives.
â?¢ There are currently 192 bioethanol production plants in the US, which together have a production capacity of 36,300m liters per year.
â?¢ The US accounted for 24% of the global biodiesel market in 2008 â?? accounting for 2,650m liters per annum.
â?¢ It is also notable that Brazil is by far the world’s largest exporter of ethanol at 3.5bn liters (from production of 19bn liters). Production is estimated by the IEA to increase to over 4bn liters in 2009. Most exports go to the US, Europe, Korea and Japan.

The Philippine government will promote handmade pineapple cloth in the European Union’s couture market, President Gloria Arroyo said. At a meeting with science ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), she showcased a coat and dress made of rose-coloured pineapple cloth. Describing her outfit, Arroyo said, “Young coconut husk was used to dye what I’m wearing. An indigenous product like coconut can make its mark in this modern day and age.” She referred to Europe’s preference for things natural.

Arroyo also lauded the Philippine Textile Research Institute, which has developed 50 natural dyes sourced from coconut husk, indigo, mahogany, tamarind, red achuete and yellow ginger. Twenty years ago, couturier Patis Tesoro, now known as the mother of pineapple cloth, was alarmed at the sky-rocketing price of the vanishing fabric which was the “national treasure” of Aklan in central Philippines.

Tesoro and her friends funded the planting of the long-leafed variety of pineapple in several communities in Aklan. Households were given handlooms to inspire older people to teach the art of weaving pineapple cloth. Soon, residents went back to planting of the pineapple variety which has no fruit. They began threshing pineapple leaves into pulp to create soft pineapple threads. The women started weaving them into fabric that found its way into the designers’ studios.

“The price of pineapple went down and pineapple cloth, even when intricately embroidered, became affordable to almost all Filipinos,” said Tesoro. Now, the Philippine government should push the expensive, beautiful, and hand woven pineapple cloth in the European market where “anything green and natural” is considered beautiful, said Science and Technology Secretary Estrella Alabastro.

Selling “green dresses” for the high end market abroad could generate jobs in Aklan and for the embroiders in Laguna, southern Luzon, because a high-end market is willing to pay for these products, said Alabastro. “In Europe, the people are very environment conscious and they want green products even if the price is a bit higher,” Alabastro said. Philippine fashion houses area also established in Aklan.
