Interpretation Of The Ministry Of Commerce On Foreign Trade Situation And Foreign Trade Policy

The textile industry is China's own. tradition The advantage industry involves twenty million people's employment. Since the beginning of this year, the textile and apparel industry has maintained a relatively good growth momentum. The first three quarters of the total exports of textiles and clothing totaled US $186 billion 100 million, an increase of 24.3% over the same period last year. An increase of 1.2 percentage points over the same period last year, of which export clothing was 115 billion 200 million US dollars, up 23.3. from the same period last year. number It is gratifying to see the form.

However, current raw materials Price The huge fluctuations, the rise of labor costs, the rise of the RMB exchange rate, and the slow recovery of international market demand have made a great impact on our textile and clothing trade. From a deeper analysis, my textile and clothing trade has been growing rapidly to the critical stage of transformation and upgrading from our many years. angle Analysis of China's textile and clothing trade faces the following challenges:

First, the trade structure needs to be further optimized. From the point of view of export products, my textile and clothing are mainly based on export OEM, and the products that support exports are low in organization, and the products with independent design and independent brands account for the total exports. proportion Less than 10%, in the international trade, at the bottom of the smile curve. From the perspective of export enterprises, the number of textile and garment export enterprises in China is about 7. The average annual export volume of enterprises is only 2 million 400 thousand US dollars. The top one hundred enterprises accounted for only 11% of the total exports, while the former five hundred enterprises accounted for only 25%. From the perspective of export prices, though faced with the pressure of cost increase and exchange rate fluctuation, due to the low added value of products and fierce competition, most of the enterprises in Taiwan can only be recipients of price. from Exit In the recent years, the export of textile and clothing in the central and western regions has been growing very gratifying, but the proportion of textile and clothing in the central and western regions is only 12%. Judging from the ratio of imports and exports, the proportion of my textiles is obviously low, accounting for only 9% of the volume of trade, which is very incommensurate with China's position as a trading power.

The two challenge is tradition. advantage Reduce. From the perspective of the labor force, according to the results of the sixth national census, the current labor force population in China will decrease gradually after 920 million. After 2013, the growth rate will decline faster..2020, with the change of population structure, the transformation of labor supply and demand is inevitable. population Dividends can not be extended indefinitely. From the perspective of raw materials, with the development of our textile and garment industry, the demand for cotton and chemical fiber is growing, and the dependence on imports is increasing. Influenced by the fluctuation of raw material prices in the international market, it is more and more obvious that raw materials are simply processed and manufactured by traditional raw materials. It is imminent to develop new materials and improve technological water products.

The three challenge is that our export expansion is increasingly challenged. from market Demand shows that China's share of world textile and clothing trade has risen to less than 4% from the beginning of reform and opening up to 31%. The share of the United States, Europe and Japan is also the first and the room for further improvement is very limited. From the perspective of international competition, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Latin America and other countries have similar labor resources and similar geographical advantages. This year, with the support of the government, they have increased their input in the field of textiles, and the competitiveness of these countries' textile and clothing exports has been increasing to our country. Challenge Don't look down on it. From the perspective of trade friction, there have been 25 trade relief surveys in 11 countries and regions in China since 09 years ago. In the 10 years, the EU recalled 263 items of textiles and clothing, and the United States recalled 36 times. The above shows that our textile and clothing trade has been forming a low cost and high speed growth mode for a long time. Positive transformation and upgrading can make our textile and clothing trade from big to strong, and achieve sustainable development.

From the perspective of the Ministry of foreign trade of the Ministry of Commerce, the above market requirements become the three major tasks of China's Ministry of foreign trade. First, maintain steady growth in foreign trade; second, strive for a basically balanced trade; thirdly, improve the quality and efficiency of foreign trade development. This requires us to vigorously implement the export brand strategy, improve the efficiency of foreign trade exports, enhance the image of China made, and accelerate the development of foreign trade, from volume expansion to quality. increase We should focus on promoting our foreign trade from big to strong.

First, from textiles. clothing In order to speed up the upgrading of the quality of foreign trade development, we will strengthen the government's guidance and promotion, and play a good role in the market as a basic role. Through five to ten years of hard cultivation, we have formed a batch of imports and exports with strong driving effects, obvious advantages in industrial production, distinctive regional characteristics, perfect public service system, and prominent role of leading enterprises in the whole country. Foreign trade transformation and upgrading demonstration base, including textile and garment foreign trade transformation and upgrading demonstration base, for foreign trade continued Stable Healthy development provides strong support.

The second is to encourage enterprises to increase the added value of products. In order to change the situation of China's textile and clothing, with OEM as the main part and the overall low added value, encourage enterprises to increase investment in design and research and development, constantly develop new materials and new products, transform traditional textile technology, realize the transformation from OEM to ODM, and encourage qualified enterprises to make full use of existing resources according to their own characteristics. The establishment of a group of brands with certain influence and consumer recognition will promote the export oriented high industrial clusters with obvious benefits, and set up public service platforms, including public design platforms, and introduce international design resources to provide product design services that meet the international market demand.

The third is to create various international business platforms for help. Spin Clothing trade enterprises extend the supply chain and trade chain, changing the current situation of OEM, will support and guide enterprises to make use of professional market, e-commerce, international trade and economic exhibition. Overseas marketing exhibition centers and other international business platforms, establish marketing network and increase trade opportunities.

Fourth, we should strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights and strictly control the quality.

Fifth, we need to strengthen bilateral exchanges and resolve trade frictions.

The sixth is to give full play to the role of intermediary organizations. We should give full play to the role of intermediary organizations in the field of industry self-regulation, industry exchanges, internal and external exhibitions, product design, product promotion, demonstration base construction, international quality testing system and social responsibility standards, and guide the whole industry to actively transform the business model to the latest form. Spin The Sino US clothing brand and China development seminar held by the information center and the Humen town government should be a very good start and an opportunity for China's textile and clothing industry, especially for the transformation and upgrading of the garment industry. The textile industry is an important livelihood industry. We will seize the opportunity to meet the challenges and promote the transformation and upgrading of our textile and garment trade. Achieving sustainable development.
