The EU Export Market Has Been "Frozen" At The Canton Fair, And Foshan Enterprises Are Turning To High-End Products.

On from May 1st to 5th, the three phase of the 111st Canton Fair opened in Guangzhou Pazhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. This exhibition will be mainly displayed. Spin Clothing, footwear, bags and leisure products, food and local specialties.

In winter, people will think of clothes. But in the "cold winter" of the economy, Textile and clothing The industry did not add a bit of warmth. In May 3rd, a number of journalists who visited Foshan in the three phase of the 111st Canton fair said that exports, especially the EU market, had been "frozen".

　　 Only 5000 shirts sold for the five time.

At 12:15 noon on May 3rd, the vast fast food area of the Canton Fair was still sparse, with less than 1/3 people sitting. And during the one or two phase of the exhibition, it might be more luck to find a vacancy at this time. The fast food business has fallen sharply because of the shortage of buyers.

"We have just counted it. Since May 1st, it has been two and a half days, and we have received more than 30 cards." Xie Shanshan, the head of the South China Sea agency, who exports children's clothing, said: "last year, the two Canton Fair of China and the Spring Festival together made two merchants' business. This year, our goal is to win two new customers."

"This year, our exports have fallen sharply." He Zhuofeng, Shunde Changzheng Garments Co. Ltd., said their situation was even worse. They had been attending the fifth meeting, but they made only one single business. "They only sold 5000 shirts, and even one booth fee could not be earned."

　　 Low end orders outflow small and micro textile enterprises "cut grain"

"In fact, it is not without orders. Many buyers come to ask" can I do this? "But when they hear the offer, they immediately say" too expensive "to get somewhere else. Wu Zhongcheng, director of Foreign Trade Department of maple lotus Underwear Co., Ltd., said with emotion, "I have done more than ten years of foreign trade, and this year is the hardest."

Almost all spinning enterprises have said that considering the cost problem, many low-end and large scale European and American markets have been transferred to Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Kampuchea and other Southeast Asian regions, or the Yangtze River Delta and Hunan regions. "In Foshan and even the whole Pearl River Delta, low-end products have no advantage."

Nanhai family Textile enterprises The foreign trade manager said that because of the relatively high production costs, many small and micro textile and garment enterprises in Foshan have not been able to receive the orders. The low volume orders of "large volume and low price" show a great outflow trend.

　　 Middle and high-end products are still competitive.

The textile and garment industry is one of the traditional pillar industries in Foshan. But from the brand booth of the Canton Fair, it can be clearly seen that the gap between Foshan and other domestic production areas is gradually widening. The vast majority of Foshan textile and garment enterprises are "crowded" to the humble standard stalls. The brand stands that symbolize the strength of enterprises can hardly see the figure of Foshan enterprises.

But it does not mean that the textile and garment industry in Foshan is at the end of the road. Tongli group's foreign trade department, Tang Yi Ling, said that some of the high-end products such as sewing, fabrics and printing were still quite competitive in Foshan. Some of the more powerful customers in Europe and the United States remained relatively stable. The head of Xinyi underwear group also said that Sweden's H&M is their major customer and will purchase a large number of swimsuit products from Xinyi every year.

"Now we are no longer producing low-end products, turning to high-end jeans." Shunde Kerry way Clothing Co., Ltd. responsible person said, but this also means that the past customer resources to lose a large part, how to find new buyers in the fierce market competition, has become the most difficult problem they currently have.
