Urumqi Will Build An International Textile And Garment Trade Center

Despite nearly 50% of the total cotton output in the country, due to the lack of the apparel industry chain,

The clothing market has long relied on the mainland garment manufacturers.

In 2011, Xinjiang's clothing exports accounted for only 1% of the total textile exports.

To change this situation, during the "12th Five-Year" period, Xinjiang will build an international textile and garment trade center integrating processing, trading and logistics in Urumqi.

In September 7th, the Asia Europe garment industry cooperation forum, one of the highlights of the first Asia Europe Silk Road clothing festival, was held at Hong Fu Hotel.

More than 50 government agencies, chambers of Commerce and business representatives from nearly 10 countries and regions such as Turkey, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have discussed with the 200 professionals from inside and outside China the exchanges and cooperation between China and Central Asia in the development of garment industry.

Liu Yanning, director of Xinjiang textile industry management office, said that according to the strategic layout determined by the "12th Five-Year plan" of the textile industry in the autonomous region, Urumqi will build an international textile and clothing trade center integrating garment processing, import and export pactions, warehousing and logistics, e-commerce and public services.

The center will focus on key enterprises in textile and clothing industry.

As a link, we should give full play to the pport advantages of the airport and the new Eurasian Continental Bridge, and enhance the agglomeration effect, radiation driving effect and overall development level of the garment industry development.

Reporters learned that in 2011, Xinjiang textile and clothing exports 7 billion 280 million US dollars, of which clothing was 5 billion 410 million dollars.

Exports and local market consumption, clothing market capacity of about 50000000000 yuan.

But in sharp contrast, exports of clothing enterprises in Xinjiang accounted for only 1%, while the proportion of local clothing enterprises in Xinjiang in the domestic market in Xinjiang was less than 10%.

"There are resources but insufficient utilization, there are industrial advantages, but the industrial chain is missing. There is a cultural foundation, but the degree of fashion completion is not enough, there is a market access, but the brand influence is dispersed."

Sun Huaibin, director of the China Textile Economic Research Center, commented on Xinjiang's clothing industry.

He said that the improvement of the apparel industry chain in the future will become a breakthrough and catalyst for the strong development of the garment industry in Xinjiang.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, Xinjiang will gradually form clothing.

To strengthen and strengthen the garment industry in Xinjiang, and strive to achieve the autonomous region clothing industry sales revenue in 2020 to more than 30 billion yuan, the total trade volume of clothing 160 billion yuan, and absorb 500 thousand jobs.

On September 7th ~11, the first Asia Europe Silk Road clothing festival was held in Urumqi.
