Fragmented Trade List, Guangdong Garment Industry Is Pushing For Pformation And Upgrading.

Losing the advantage of labor, "small profits but quick turnover" strategy is not used in Guangdong.

Workers in a small garment processing factory in Xinhua Town, Huadu District, Guangzhou, continue to work.

The boss, Mr. Chen, reluctantly told reporters, "now the order is very small. At least 1000 pieces before we take orders. Now we even have one hundred or two hundred pieces of Taobao business. We are willing to take it."

Guangdong is the largest province of China's clothing import and export, big and small.

Processing enterprises blossom everywhere.

Under the double squeeze of fast rising production costs and shrinking international market, the survival space of many small workshops of garment processing enterprises in Guangzhou is gradually shrinking, and the garment processing industry is facing pformation and upgrading.

Mr. Chen's clothing processing plant only did.

Because foreign trade orders are generally high in price and large in quantity.

However, due to shrinking orders in the past two years, he also began to pick up the domestic trade list from last year.

According to him, the seven or eight month of the year is the off-season of garment processing. This time can only give workers fixed wages and reduce working hours. "Workers are not good enough to recruit them and dare not let them go."

By the time of the new year, when entering the peak season of garment processing, if the manpower is not enough, the boss can only pay more money for some casual workers, or bring clothes to some housewives around to take home.

"In the clothing processing industry, in the 80s of last century, who made products, who could make a lot of money, who could make money in 90s of last century, who could earn money at a low price; but now they have lost the advantages of labor and the order is fragmented, and many enterprises are facing choices."

Mr. Chen said.

For purely processed factories, the wages of workers are the biggest cost.

Because the order is small and the source is not fixed, if the customer does not pay the processing fee in time, the enterprise will easily be faced with financial difficulties and employee turnover.

Mr. Chen's garment processing factory went through two fixed customers last month.

"I heard they went to other countries to find cheaper ones.

Now.

Losing fixed customers is a lot of trouble. Those unregular small customers must always keep an eye on them to pay in time.

Before, Guangdong's brand clothing processing industry mainly engaged in foreign trade market, according to foreign orders, processing and production, can only get meager profits.

Now the order is fragmented, and even the strategy of "small profits but quick turnover" is useless.

But in the crisis, enterprises are not "no way out".

Wang Jia, Secretary General of Guangdong clothing and apparel industry association, said in an interview that some small businesses without core competitive advantages directly led to the loss of workers due to the instability of orders.

However, the reduction of these enterprises has led to more orders coming to large enterprises.

At the same time, a group of small enterprises with fast response ability and high technology and quality have suddenly become the new favorite of high-end garment processing market.

"At present, Guangdong garment enterprises urgently need to upgrade their R & D design level, deepen brand building, improve their application level, launch capital operation and optimize production capacity to achieve overall pformation and upgrading.

Wang Jia said.
