Where Is The Traditional Clothing Industry In Wuzhen?

According to the latest statistics, the export volume of garment enterprises in Wuzhen town was 109 million yuan in the first quarter of this year, which was 14.9% lower than that of the same period last year. Most garment enterprises are facing losses.

Under the "siege" of unfavorable factors such as the appreciation of RMB, the adjustment of export tax rebate rate and the increasing labor and labor costs, where should Wuzhen's traditional clothing industry go?

Reporters visited some of the garment enterprises.

In the Jiaxing Honghai Clothing Co., Ltd., the reporter saw that the workshop was a busy production scene, but Yao Xingrong, the head of the company, was not happy at all.

It is understood that the "Hongzhi sea" as a foreign trade processing enterprises, the production of clothing exported to the European market, last year's export volume reached 400 thousand.

However, under the influence of various unfavorable factors, the profit margins of enterprises are getting smaller and smaller.

According to Yao Xingrong, because the export of enterprises is mostly settled in US dollars, the appreciation of RMB has great impact on enterprises. Now, enterprises are afraid to take long-term orders.

Moreover, as we all know, the clothing industry itself is a labor-intensive enterprise, and the increase in labor cost also makes the enterprises feel double pressure.

Yao Xingrong reluctantly said: "for nearly 10 years of clothing enterprises, I did not think this road is getting narrower and narrower."

"In the first quarter of this year, the continued appreciation of the RMB has made our company lose nearly 600 thousand yuan. Although it has received about 6000000 US dollars in the first half of the year, the risk is too great."

Speaking of the export situation of garment enterprises this year, Yao Yunfei, general manager of Jiaxing tyre Textile Co., Ltd. frowned.

He gave an example to reporters. In December last year, the company discussed with overseas customers an order, a total of 10 thousand clothing production, of which the first batch was 4200 pieces, delivery in August, and settlement in October.

However, due to the fact that no exchange rate was fixed and the appreciation of the renminbi was affected, the price at that time was no doubt a loss to the present. It is impossible to negotiate with the client for raising the price.

Under the unfavorable circumstances of the whole environment, Yao Yunfei said, in fact, he has been thinking about how to pform, but this is not easy at all.

If it is to create its own brand and take the road of common development of domestic and foreign trade, it requires that all the supporting facilities of enterprises should keep up with at least one design team, but these are not the scale of the current enterprise.

Nowadays, what enterprises can do is to strengthen internal management, reduce production costs, focus on improving service quality, and attract customers with quality products.

It is understood that the garment industry, as the traditional pillar industry of Wuzhen Town, occupies half of the export of Wuzhen town.

Last year, the export volume of garment enterprises in Wuzhen accounted for 56.6% of the total export volume.

However, because many enterprises are taking the road of foreign trade processing, they belong to low added value, and the impact is also the biggest.

Therefore, it can be said that the difficulties faced by garment enterprises such as "Hongzhi Hai" and "Ge Lan" are also the difficulties facing the entire garment industry in Wuzhen.

How can we digest this series of unfavorable factors and guide enterprises to tide over difficulties?

Wuzhen town government official told reporters: "we will work hard to cultivate the well-known brand of clothing enterprises, and develop clusters of enterprises with the core of famous brand enterprises as the core so as to drive the healthy development of the entire garment industry.

In addition, enterprises will be encouraged and guided to run companies overseas. "

It is understood that Yumbel Clothing Co., Ltd. has established a company in Japan, directly in Japan to receive orders, the effect is better.
