Jiangsu Garment Exports Grew Sluggish In The First Half Of The Year, And The Textile And Garment Industry Moved Rapidly To Southeast Asian Countries.

Yesterday, the national development and Reform Commission's department concerned went down to Suzhou to investigate the economic situation. The textile and apparel giants participating in the forum expressed concern that the lack of export is not the most frightening thing. Textile and clothing The industry is rapidly shifting to Southeast Asian countries.

A member of the meeting told our reporter that there were about 10 enterprises in Suzhou, including two textile and garment giants.

The above said, a textile and apparel giant revealed that its exports amounted to nearly 1 billion 500 million US dollars in 1~8 months, a slight increase from last year, and its annual export growth target was set at 3%. Among them, clothing exports benefited from the "structural adjustment" strategy. 1~8 increased by 19% in the month, but yarn exports fell by 28%, especially for Bangladesh.

Statistics show that 1~7 months of this year Jiangsu Port clothing export growth was weak, and the value of toy exports declined. According to the statistics of Nanjing customs, the value of export clothing and clothing accessories (hereinafter referred to as "clothing") at Jiangsu port in 1~7 this year is $730 million, an increase of 4.3% over the same period last year (the same below), and the growth rate slowed down 29.1 percentage points over the same period last year. Monthly export value showed a gradual upward trend.

But the textile and apparel giant said the most frightening thing is not yet. Exit Growth is weak, but the textile and garment industry is permanently relocated to Southeast Asian countries.

"This is the biggest impact. Now our main advantage is complete industrial chain. Once the industrial chain of Southeast Asian countries is formed, we will be more impacted. Their labor costs are much lower and the equipment is good. We went to Indonesia to investigate, many equipment surpassed China. He said.

Orders are losing to Southeast Asian countries. As garment orders flow away, there will be more and more upstream raw material manufacturers.

Miss Li, a British clothing company, told reporters earlier that 70% of the order production will be placed in China before 2012, and only 30% will be placed in China since 2012. The composition of this 30% is high-end clothing (such as woolen coat), and the two is to diversify risks and diversify between countries.

"China's processing fees, on average, if each garment is 10 dollars, Bangladesh is about 5 dollars, and British imports from Bangladesh can be exempt from customs duties, which is another way." Miss Li said, "besides, the factories in China are very nervous and the delivery is slow. Foreign businessmen are faced with the risk that the supply period can not be guaranteed. And the market is slightly better, so the factories are asking for a lot of money. On the whole, orders are obviously more cost-effective in Bangladesh.

Miss Li analyzed that at present, the textile industry in Bangladesh and other countries upstream is still relatively weak, and a large number of textiles such as cloth need to be imported from China.

But the clothing industry is "nose", accessories factory (such as zipper), textile mill will be led away. There are many textile factories in Bangladesh, and some enterprises in China are beginning to invest and build factories there, with both textile mills and accessories factories, so the transition period will not be too long.
