Reporters learned that Japan's preferential tariff amounted to 5 billion 500 million yen, of which about 20% of our country's use.

Tariff changes will further enhance the export price of Japanese textile and clothing and reduce the competitiveness of Chinese products in the Japanese market.

"At present, there are as many as thousands of textile enterprises in our province, and Japan has always been the largest market for textile and clothing exports in our province."

Liu Yongsheng, deputy director of Industry Management Office of Shandong textile industry office, introduced.

Qingdao customs statistics show that in the first 8 months of this year, Shandong ports exported 2 billion 820 million US dollars of textile and apparel to Japan, accounting for 24.3% of the total value of textile and garment exports over the same period.

Cotton prices have been rising since October 2009, rising 37% in the first half of this year, and domestic cotton prices are approaching the highest level in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the national minimum wage standard has increased by 12% this year, and the labor cost of Shandong textile enterprises has increased by 20% over the previous year.

Liu Yongsheng believes that "the rising cost of raw materials and labor pushes up the price of textiles, but also compresses the profit margins of textile enterprises."

Judging from the current situation, due to the reduction of domestic cotton planting area and the decline of international cotton stocks, coupled with the strong imbalance between supply and demand in the domestic market demand, this year cotton supply and demand tightening situation is difficult to change.

ASEAN countries such as Kampuchea, Bangladesh and Thailand have been competing fiercely with China in the low-end market of Japanese textile and apparel with low cost advantages.

Vietnam's textile and clothing exports to Vietnam increased by 23% in the first 7 months of this year, thanks to the EPA agreement signed with Japan (from the ASEAN countries to enjoy zero tariff treatment on Japanese exports).

In this regard, Liu Yongsheng suggested that the textile enterprises in Shandong should subdivide the market according to their own product characteristics in order to avoid the homogeneous competition in the province. In addition, the textile enterprises should strengthen their independent innovation and technological pformation, improve the added value of the products to consolidate their dominant position in the Japanese market, open up the emerging markets, reduce the risk of export and carry out the industrial pfer reasonably.

Faced with the increasingly severe export situation, some enterprises in Shandong have begun to try directly to sea mergers and acquisitions.

Shandong Ruyi group successfully acquired Japanese clothing giant prestige Co., Ltd., and directly entered the Japanese market.
