As a nation clothing Guangzhou entrepreneurs have noticed that Nike, Adidas, and even Vanke are moving their OEM factories abroad recently. The reporter learned that some local enterprises have also gone abroad to investigate the development of local factories.

"We have just come back from our investigation in Cambodia," Mr. Zeng (not his real name), the relevant person in charge of a local clothing export group, told reporters, "At present, labor costs in Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries are really low. For example, Cambodia is only $150/month, while China is now $500/month. Even Vietnam is half lower than China, which is really attractive in terms of labor costs."

However, Mr. Zeng also said that although labor prices are low, local development may soon encounter bottlenecks, "At present, Cambodia's labor population is only 14 million, while only 400000 people are engaged in the clothing industry. Judging from the base number of the labor population, even if the clothing industry expands, it is also limited by the labor force. The development of clothing in the local area is not as simple as expected," Mr. Zeng said.

"
