Interestingly, 95% of these production units are small enterprises, each employing fewer than 50 workers, underscoring the industry’s reliance on smaller businesses.
Lashgari emphasised that with adequate government support, the current production capacity could potentially propel Iran’s shoe manufacturing to the 8th position in the world rankings.
