Quanzhou: A New Environment For Textile Trade Between China And Europe

In accordance with the relevant agreement between the Ministry of Commerce and the European Union concerning the cancellation of the quantity limit of textiles exported to China and the establishment of export monthly increments, China has launched bilateral monitoring on the 8 categories of European textile exports since 2008. The Quanzhou textile and garment industry has taken active measures to deal with the new trade environment.

Green clothing is one of the first enterprises to get the bilateral monitoring license. The head of the company said that although the export situation of the enterprises in the first quarter of this year was not significantly different from that of last year, it should not be taken lightly.

Some enterprises simply believe that the EU has abolished the quotas for textile exports to Europe, and Chinese clothing can go all the way to the EU market. In fact, this is a wrong judgement.

Experts and people in the industry suggested that Quanzhou enterprises should strengthen the added value of products, and at the same time, change the original mode of trade, expand the domestic market, and do both inside and outside to cope with the new situation of textile and clothing export.

In addition to policy factors, export enterprises also face the situation of RMB appreciation, raw material prices and labor costs. Therefore, export enterprises should take measures to deal with them positively.

Huaqiao University professor Yin Xiaobo: because we concentrated in the past 7, 8, 9, or at the end of each year, shipment time is not controlled, your total amount is easy to overtake.

The expert also stressed that the export of EU textiles is best to adopt the euro settlement method, which can ensure the profit margins of enterprises.

In addition, enterprises should give due consideration to the domestic market and let foreign trade and domestic trade fly together, so as to better promote the development of enterprises.
