In March of this year, the Ministry of Commerce issued a document that decided to carry out the cultivation of foreign trade pformation and upgrading demonstration bases nationwide this year, with personnel training, market information, access standards, product innovation, quality improvement, brand cultivation, market development, publicity and promotion, and relief measures.

In Jiangyin, there are eight sub industries, namely, chemical fiber, cotton spinning, cotton weaving, knitting, printing and dyeing, wool textile, clothing, textile for products, etc., with the "downstream to promote the upstream and the upstream to drive downstream", the complete industrial chain built from raw materials, fabric production to clothing products and marketing network, so that Jiangyin textile and clothing has a high degree of regional visibility and strong processing and manufacturing capabilities.

Moreover, the textile industry is the largest in Jiangyin.

Among the list of textile enterprises in Jiangyin, there are a number of star class top 500 enterprises and leading enterprises such as Huaxi Group, sunshine group, three lane group, Hai Lan group and so on. Among them, there are 6 listed textile enterprises.

For example, in the textile industry, the only sunshine group that has won the honor of "world famous brand" and "export garment exemption" has the reputation of "sunshine" in the Japanese woolen and high-end clothing market; Hai Lan group is the only national key high-tech enterprise in China's clothing industry that has passed the "double high" certification by the Ministry of science and technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has created many brands for different consumer groups, such as Lang Wei Gao, Hai Lan home and H rabbit.

Jiangyin is the first batch of the ten largest Chinese textile industry base city. Jiangyin textile and garment industry cluster is listed as "China's 100 best industrial cluster" and is named "China's fine textile industry cluster".

Fan Rong said that the demonstration base of foreign trade pformation and upgrading compared with the previous "export innovation base" and the "export base" in 90s, further reflected the state's efforts to adjust the industrial structure and promote the pformation and upgrading of foreign trade.

The relationship between "gradual progress" and "gradual deepening" between the three represents a change from quantity to quality, from the emphasis on scale to the level of promotion, and from the cultivation of talents to market information, access standards, product innovation, quality improvement, brand cultivation, market development, publicity and promotion, relief response, trade facilitation and other key links.

For Jiangyin's garment export base, it has been recognized by many years' efforts and is also a great help to encourage Jiangyin to continue to accelerate its pformation and upgrading.
