面临巴西鞋类大量占据市场及来自亚洲国家的强敌，巴拉圭业者一致认为唯有朝向中、高级真皮鞋类的生产路线方能在国际市场竞争。阿根廷４０％的制鞋业劳工来自巴拉圭，说明巴拉圭高素质劳工是制鞋业竞争的最大优势。此外，巴拉圭亦自产品质不错的皮革可供利用，并有出口至墨西? Faced with Brazil’s large market share of footwear and its strong enemies from Asian countries, Paraguay’s companies are unanimous in their belief that the only way to compete in the international market is to face the middle and high-end leather footwear production lines. 40% of Argentina’s footwear industry workers come from Paraguay, indicating that Paraguay’s high-quality labor is the biggest advantage for the footwear industry. In addition, Paraguay also has good leather products available for use and exports to Mexico.
