15 million kids each need at least 3 pairs of shoes. Sandals, Rubber shoes and leather shoes. Dont be dense. All these comes mostly from Bata.

Shoe demand in your country is just 6 million pairs and that is what import supplies.

Tell those stories to your fellow dumb Kenyans

rvp20182:
Mad cow. Kenya control 25% of all flower sold in Europe. West Africa import the same flowers from London.
We take the flowers to Netherland. You go and import them.

Your export gold - and such - weightless and very valuable.

I can respect ivory coast - seen many of their bananas and pineapples in europe - GHANA

Try sell flowers to Nigeria first

did you see flowers in my mention? We don't waste precious lands to grow useless stuff here pls.

Yet between Ghana and Ivory coast, Ghana is the largest exporter of both pineapple and bananas

No wonder our veggies, pineapple and bananas exports alone is equal to Kenya total commodity export of 6 billion dollars

rvp20182:
Mad cow take your meds.
Bata supply 15 million kenya kids with shoes every term - everywhere there is Bata store - even in Turkana.
I am not going to count the rest of the rest.

Bata=kenya=Shoes

so it's no more 30 million?

Keep lying to your fellow dumb Kenyans and not me ..

50,000 shoes is peanuts.. no wonder your central bank will be blindsided by forex smuggling in the name of shoe buying.

rvp20182:
You cant fill one cargo plane.
You want to fly and transport shiet loads of chinese trinkets in the same plane.

Kenya leads in Air Cargo in Africa by MILES.

We transport flowers and fresh vegies to Europe

yet our exports is more than 3 times that of Kenya ... Guess who fill more cargo planes

Yes Ghana fresh veggies and fruit export alone is equal to your country total export

rvp20182:
Most kenya companies get over unions by employing through agencies. Bata has 46 direct employees then rest are under employment agencies. Even KQ - senior management are direct - the rest are contracted via a HR company who pay lower wages.

Bata is one of things that define kenya

This was 2006!!

Travelling throughout the country, a minor detail you may not care to notice is that almost everyone wears shoes. With majority of the estimated 32 million Kenyans standing on two feet, at least literally, you are talking about potential demand of at least 64 million shoes.

Little wonder the Limuru-based Bata Shoe Company (Kenya), the most renowned formal marketer targeting the whole family in Kenya, never really opted to go away even when they were quite down at the heel.

Sorry to burst your bubble, that's their total employees which the employee through Agencies

When a foreign shoe company that produces less than 50,000 shoes defines your country, then you know your country is F up

rvp20182:
Not when you need to transport shiet load of personal cargo.
West and central africa love KQ for that.
We allow you to bring back your christmas shopping - bags and bags
And charge expensive tickets..but carry as much as you want
And we serve banku

Typical businessman from West and Central Africa - goes to middle east or china - to buy stocks for their business.

They love KQ for this - because they are allowed to bring in very heavy bags - KQ is in cargo business so buys long range planes that can carry shiet load.

Sorry ... Our cargoes fly on Allied Air, Antonov , KLM cargo, Turkish cargo, Qatar cargo, Emirates cargo , cargolux and others...

No one trust rickety planes infact, KQ does not operate cargo to any west African country.

Does KQ even own a single plane

rvp20182:
Your words versus this video mad cow
Bata is ubiquitous in kenya
Every small market or town - just ask for Bata shop
In 2018 - they were doing 20 million - now 30 million.
Mainly school shoes.
In fact most schools just fall short of saying buy Bata shoes...parents almost instinctively know Bata has to be bought.
For most kenyans - Bata is kenyan company
Bata in Kiswahili is a duck - 99% dont know it Czech company

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKMYuP2jN7E

save those words for your fellow dumb Kenyans

Tiny 50,000 output with a tiny 46 workers

rvp20182:
Kenya Airways has confirmed Qatar to Ghana to Dakar flight is ready.
Yoruba Nigeria Saka just send last Sub Saharan Africa team home

Sorry, we only trust Qatar airways for that service....

You can pack your rickety planes home... No wonder they most fly empty planes around

rvp20182:
Kenya is not backwater Ghana.

Bata producers 30 million shoes a year - mostly for school kids. These are genuine leather that parents love. That kenyan woman tried to introduce to your poor country but she gave up.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKMYuP2jN7E

There is a Bata shop/store in almost every market in kenya. In fact it would be really surprising if a kenyan went and didnt find a Bata store anywhere.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPVdh1c2wp0

Bata Kenya sales is only 10 million dollars with a production of 50,000 pairs and creating employment for 46

Shma2022:
Nonsense.

same reply youve had for 7 years when faced with the hard facts

Frustrated kenyan

Shma2022:
HOT AIR.

Why do you defecate on your beaches?
Why are your beaches embodying a lack of environmental policy?

Kenyan beaches are by far the cleanest and most beautiful in Africa... We care about nature. We have more wild animals than any zoo in WA --- because we have policies to protect them.

How many animals do you have, or you ate all of them?

no one does that here ..... Anyway why do Kenyans keep defecating on beaches and on open fields?

Why are Kenyan beaches embodying lack of environmental policy and why is Kenya still operating huge landfill sites in this modern age?


Ghanaian beaches receives more tourist and earn more money that those in Kenya.


Kenya is a huge zoo that should be comparing itself with Uganda.

rvp20182:
Kariokor in Nairobi downtown is East Africa largest informal shoe making places. They produce two million shoes per annum - gov has tried to build them new places - and they potential to produce 10 million shoes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4RjRL0gg08

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGAvBV8BDIU

keep guessing...

You don't even produce 20,000 pairs per annum

rvp20182:
Sometimes understand the subject matter before embarrassing yourself.
You're moving from 700M shoes import to 2 million pair shoes.

Ghana has 30million people. If they were to buy one shoe per year - you'll need 30 million pair of shoes.
What is two million shoes?

Kenya would need 50 million shoes per annum.

We import more than 6 million shoes a single quarter...those are new shoes...yearly its more than 40 million...and we havent counted gazillion of shoes that come in from US as second hand shoes.

Kenya if it was to supply each kid with 3 shoes every term - you're talking 40 million school shoes alone.

Understand these things.

In kenya there many formal shoes makers - that export to US - and the rest.
BATA - global shoes company - has factory in kenya - and produces mostly hardy shoes for school kids.

I think biggest informal shoe market is Nairobi's Kariokor - they produce two million shoes - informally.

Who is moving from what to what.... Did you even read what I wrote?

Except no one buys one shoe per year.... Most people buy 2 quality shoes and use it for 5 to 7 years.

The world has 8 billion people with 14 billion shoes.. that's 2 pairs per person..

Sorry kiddo, your country has almost no shoe production.. all you do is import those plastic Chinese stuff you call shoes and those synthetic nonsense...
Your country shoe import is also just 6 million pairs and your central bank give importers 770 million for that and as smart as they are, they smuggle the rest.

Shma2022:
This thread was not created by a Kenya... It was created by a Nigerian-- Tonny something. It's clear he had a thing with Kenya -- Kenyans came and defended. We finished the game on the previous forum, obaboon created this one and extended the topic. We came to defend our nation. Out of nowhere --- Hobbits!! Oooh Ghana this, ghana that... I believe they are the weeny sibling of Nigeria, so they have to tread on their heels... Perhaps that's why they are here. Topic of the thread reads: Kenya is far ............. Nigeria! So it's upon Kenyans and Nigerians to square it out, by themselves. Ghana is nowhere because such a thread will be a disgrace to any nationality here: kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. In fact, such a thread will not go past a page because Ghana has literally nothing to show.

in the first place, Ghana will not stoop so low to compare itself to a country far below it that only has a 2km apart area to show and has done so for 7 years.

Show that site be created, it will be short lived because as we've seen on this page, Kenya fall short in all developmental areas.

Skeletal people better be looking for Uganda to compare with

Shma2022:
Do you have any environmental policies?

Does Kenya have any?

Ghana's environmental policy has led to huge recycling facilities for all kinds of waste nation wide and the closing of all landfill site.

Why are there still landfill sites in every part of Kenya?

rvp20182:
I think first you need to stop eating animal hides and skin before you can talk footwear.
You have to build the value chain.
Kenya itself is a mess - the potential is huge - but we are still importing millions of used and new shoes.

Ghana I know banned import of second hand shoes - but I dont think there is leather industry - you still import leather then make the shoes - mostly as cottage or informal shoe making.

In 2020 the 3 largest SSA footwear exporters were South Africa, Cote d’Ivoire, and Kenya, exporting
$124.9 million, $51.7 million, and $39.4 million of footwear, respectively.21 These countries have
different destination markets for their footwear than Ethiopia. For example, while the United States was
the largest destination for Ethiopian footwear exports in 2020, the largest destination markets for South
Africa, Cote d’Ivoire, and Kenya were Namibia, Uganda, and Nigeria, respectively.22 Total exports from
these SSA exporters did decline in 2019 and 2020 due to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions,
including those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, similar to Ethiopia and many large global footwear
exporters, but not at as great a rate.

yet the Shoe industry is bigger than Kenya..

Producing more than 2 million pairs of shoes.

Kenya produce absolutely none hence your 6 million pairs import

rvp2018:
Here we go with Ghana the slumpolis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTio_0rwR1s

what you do get is ... No one live there

There people you'll find here either lives at James Town or Chorkor....

In the morning they get their waste electronics and churn it out for metals

IGpro1:
so you mean the informal economy you were against is same one you now rejoice over. You need help sire

rvp2018:
Mad man..take your meds. The redundancy is starting. It's downhill from here.

Screams of a Crazy man exposed by the facts

I love data because it has a way of exposing liars like you

rvp2018:
No, it's more like you should go back to grade 1 and learn basic arithmetics. For a country to import 770m worth of shoes - they must wear golden shoes, sit on golden stool and dsheit golden stool.

Focus on curbing the massive forex smuggling in Kenya that cause you to lose 6 billion dollars yearly through dubious schemes like this... Your central bank says it gave 770 million for shoe import and your country only imported 6 million pairs.


Kenya has the highest forex outflows on the continent and it all has to do with the fact that Indians and Chinese own everything in your country so the have to repatriate that much money yearly

rvp2018:
We are very rich if we can buy each shoe for 128,000 dollars. This makes us the richest nation to ever exists.

good luck

It is more like a forex smuggling scheme .... This is how your country lose 6 billion dollars yearly in outflows

rvp2018:
Kenya produces about 40 percent of it shoes consumption..that was 8 million pairs out 40m five year ago...now should well be 45-50m shoes

Five years ago

Local demand for leather products exceeds supply providing an opportunity for investors to tap into this need. The industry’s production is only able to meet approximately 40 per cent of the domestic demand having supplied just 8.1 million pairs of shoes out of the 40 million pairs demanded by the market in 2017. This demand is projected to grow to 46.8 million pairs by 2021, signaling great opportunity in value addition.

sorry to burst your bubble..
Your country does not produce shoes of significant quality hence spend 770 million dollars importing 6 million pairs of shoes.

Next assuming

rvp2018:
So 32 millon Ghanians wear 2 million shoes per year - even if it's made from horse hooves that is something

so 60 million Kenyans import just 6 million pairs of shoes per year?

Now I understand why kenyans can't afford shoes and walk barefooted

rvp2018:
What are the 30million Ghanians wearing. I assume one shoe per year.

Go to bed you have nothing to say

This is not Kenya where you guys are used to those synthetic nonsense and rubber stuff

I like the way you bundle up number .... Kenya can't produce shoes so you import 6 million pairs of shoes per year

rvp2018:
Only those two - and they appear like newbies?

there are as many as 20 shoe companies producing as many as 2 million shoes

rvp2018:
You cannot afford shoes. Bata is global company. Fatima runs her thing and she is queen. I should also come and become a king...sit my bum on the golden stool and excrete golden stool. That Briton who threatened to sit on the golden stool unless he is given golden bars is a legend.

We have better shoes companies
Bata was just a useless brand selling shoes that no one will wear.

Fatima is an employee in a Ghanaian company just like most Ghanaian companies who have given employment to other Kenyans.

rvp2018:
There is a kenyan lady who run your shoes industry and one who run your advertsing.

Fatima - run Ghana advertising. She moved to Bidco Uganda - then co-partnet to Ghana and Ivory coast - now run her own advertising brand - uniliver.

In Africa - FMCG (fast moving goods) - it's Uniliver, Tiger South Africa and Bidco kenya


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAbsu82rfl4

Bata shoes closed down long ago... That is not running a shoe industry

Fatima is an employee of Ghanaian company..


Primitivity is when Kenya can't achieve anything to be proud of as a Kenyan

obaaderemi:
They're Indians. Is it impossible for you to name any Kenyan company in West Africa not owned by Indians?

Is there even a Kenyan company in west Africa

rvp2018:
I saw tears all over. Men should not cry except in their close relative mourning. Who died? Even TV dude was weeping. Your Ghanians really are weak. You need to toughen up.

Africans team should really work on their mentality - otherwise all the talent continue going down the drain - and it just tears in Ghana now

Fortunately Ghanaians are very happy....

We've finally built a team and already have a coach that can manage them to dominate African football for the next 20 years because they're all young.

rvp20182:
Why would I be envious of a Zoo and Mini Zoo?

The larger ZOO Kenya is still undeveloped in all areas ...

Focus on that instead of the constant edge to compare with those better than you

obaaderemi:
They can't go far. They've been demystified.

Qatar seem like a mysterious place
