Dongguan Garment Trade In May Surged Nearly 40%

Recently, the Guangdong Customs Department released data showing that in May this year, the main traditional labor-intensive products grew well, and clothing exports grew by 28% year-on-year.

Reporters learned from the Municipal Bureau of foreign trade and economic cooperation yesterday that the foreign trade volume of our clothing and accessories in May reached 300 million yuan, an increase of 27.1% over the same period, an increase of 38.9% over the same period, and an increase of nearly 40% in the annulus.

Order performance in February and March

In this regard, Gao Yupeng, Deputy Secretary General of Dongguan textile and Garment Association, analyzed that clothing trade is different from other products. Because of its seasonal production and other reasons, clothing enterprises' orders and production volume in the month have 2 to 3 months lag behind export volume.

In other words, most garments exported in May are produced according to the orders at the end of February or early March, while the orders and garments produced by enterprises in May are usually shown in the export trade data of July and August.

Reporters also learned that although our city clothing in May

"The export volume of our company in May is almost the same as that of the same period last year, but there has been no significant increase."

Dongguan textile import and Export Co., Ltd. Tan Yuxin told reporters that in May this year, the company's clothing exports compared with the same period last year and April this year, there is not much change.

The reporter then contacted several other clothing production and trading companies, and they all said that the production and trade situation in May had not increased much.

No increase in export profits

In May, the volume of garment exports increased significantly. Does this mean that the profits of garment production and export enterprises in our city are also increasing?

Gao Yupeng said that although the volume of clothing trade increased greatly in our city, its profit situation was not optimistic, and at the moment, many garment manufacturers were afraid to accept orders for foreign trade.

"First of all, it is affected by the economic environment, and some enterprises have difficulty in financing. Secondly, the cost of hiring workers is increasing. Even if orders are increased, enterprises are afraid to hire large numbers of workers.

Third, the rising price of raw materials has also increased the economic burden of garment manufacturers to a certain extent.

All of these have caused many garment manufacturers to worry about receiving orders. "

It is reported that in the clothing production enterprises of our city, quite a few enterprises have low production technology and production equipment with low technology content and poor design ability. In the export trade, the middle and low grade garments are the main ones, though the quantity is huge, the profits they get are not many.

Gao Yupeng believes that in the face of low brand awareness, low design ability and low level of scientific and technological production in some garment enterprises, we must raise the level of technology and the hardware construction of factory production in the adjustment and upgrading of Dongguan's industrial economy.

"Not every enterprise's clothing brand can be loud and sound, but the clothing industry in Dongguan must have a loud brand, so as to compete with foreign garment enterprises and improve their profits."

Gao Yupeng said.

Xu Zhikun, general manager of Dongguan Yuxing Trading Co., Ltd., thinks that the design level, production technology and environmental protection standards of the export oriented garment enterprises in our city must comply with the requirements of foreign countries, especially the requirements of developed countries such as North America, Western Europe and Japan. Their technology and management are relatively advanced in China, and Dongguan has a good sales channel.

Therefore, it has great advantages in the domestic clothing market.
