Shenzhen Port Textile And Garment Exports Increased Strongly

The reporter learned from the Shenzhen customs that the export of textile and clothing at Shenzhen port accelerated rapidly in the first two months of this year.

According to statistics, in the first 2 months of 2010, the export of textiles and garments (including textiles, fabrics and yarns, garments and accessories) at Shenzhen port was exported to US $3 billion 330 million, an increase of 48.1% over the same period last year.

According to the reporter, in 2009, China's textile and garment industry technology pformation and attrition effect is obvious, moderately loose fiscal policy is conducive to enterprises to speed up the pace of adjustment and pformation, the export tax rebate rate has been repeatedly raised to a certain role in promoting export recovery in the late stage.

In January 2010, the purchasing managers index of China's manufacturing industry showed that the export orders index was 53.2%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points from last month. Among them, the PMI index of clothing and footwear manufacturing industry is still higher than 50%, and the trend of export good trend is expected to be further maintained. With the start of the China ASEAN Free Trade Area in January 1st this year, the textile products tax rate of the main ASEAN countries has been significantly reduced. The export market diversification strategy of the textile industry adjustment and revitalization plan has been further implemented, and the textile and garment export through the Shenzhen port has accelerated this year.

Insiders pointed out that although the external market demand is gradually warming up, the pressure of textile and garment industry is increasing.

The textile and garment industry is a labor-intensive industry, which requires a large amount of labor resources. But with the improvement of social security system and the improvement of labor treatment in the two or three tier cities in the mainland, the labor intensive enterprises in Guangdong are short of manpower.

The analysis of supply and demand situation of labor market in the fourth quarter of 2009 shows that in the fourth quarter of 2009, the number of labor demand in the city reached 1 million 944 thousand, the number of job seekers was 1 million 125 thousand, the employment gap was 819 thousand, and the employment gap in the PRD exceeded 2 million.

Among them, textile and garment workers are mostly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Chongqing and Sichuan. With the development of these areas, many workers choose to stay in their hometown or other higher income industries after the Spring Festival.

The Shenzhen customs recommends that we should further implement the "textile industry adjustment and revitalization plan", and actively guide enterprises to speed up structural adjustment, enhance the profit margins of the industry, alleviate the upward pressure on costs, strengthen policy support for SMEs' financing support, promote the diversification of product mix, enhance the overall competitiveness of products, strengthen the monitoring and early warning of textile and clothing exports, pay close attention to the inspection standards and access systems issued by important trading countries and regions, and also need to study local economic and political situations in order to avoid mistakes in investment decisions.
