　 Increase in export orders Textile and clothing Increased corporate confidence

Last year, textile and garment enterprises struggling in deep water are now showing signs of warmth. In March 14th, a group of industry data from Zibo customs reported that the total export volume of Zibo's textile and garment industry was 194 million US dollars in the first two months of this year, up 4.8% over the same period last year.

In this regard, Zibo's home textile enterprises have said that the "most difficult" time has passed, and the number of orders is relatively high. Some enterprises' orders increased by more than 3 over the same period.

However, many people in the industry also said that although the export data of spinning and weaving services were good, the industry was getting warmer or limited due to the impact of cotton and cheap farming, spinning enterprises' financing difficulties, heavy tax burden, increased labor costs and more uncertain factors in the export environment.

In March 14th, a group of industry data from Zibo customs came to the "good news". In 1-2 months, the total export volume of Zibo's textile and garment industry was 194 million US dollars, up 4.8% over the same period last year. "This shows that the export data of textile and garment industry is gradually improving." A Zibo customs official told this newspaper.

Last year, the industry was still in deep water. At that time, influenced by factors such as the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the United States, the high price of cotton both inside and outside, and the dramatic increase in labor costs, Zibo's textile and apparel industry performed poorly, so that its export data increased again after the negative growth of the total export volume of the textile and apparel industry in 2009. Statistics show that: last year, Zibo's textile and garment exports totaled 1 billion 250 million US dollars, down 5.4% from the same period last year, of which exports to Europe and the United States decreased by 3.8% and 9.6% respectively.

But the situation has finally been reversed.

In fact, the warmth of textile and garment industry is not limited. Zibo 。 The latest data show that in February, China's clothing products exported 10 billion 590 million US dollars, an increase of 94.36% over the same period last year, and China's textile exports were US $5 billion 890 million, up 38.08% over the same period last year.

For the revival of export data in textile and clothing industry, Zhang Yanjie, an information industry analyst, thinks that the good market and the PMI data in Europe and the United States continue to pick up, and the present value of consumer confidence index is better than expected. The most difficult time has passed.
"The better export data of the spinning and weaving industry show that this market is gradually warming up. Next, the market performance of textile and garment enterprises is worth looking forward to." Li Jia, who is also an industry analyst, thinks that

The above view is confirmed by many home textile enterprises in Zibo. "The most difficult moment for an enterprise has already become a thing of the past." Zhoucun Sheng Ming Textile General Manager Zhou Xin said.

Similarly, Gaoqing Fuhai textile also said that the company's orders are relatively adequate, "compared with the same period last year, orders increased by at least 30%."

The above view is confirmed by a large textile and garment enterprise in Zibo. A director of the Ministry of China World Trade Center said that the trend of export warming has been particularly evident since February, and that the volume of orders increased in February has increased significantly, and the "year-on-year increase of 2 over the previous year".

Since March, this trend has not diminished. Executives of a well-known textile and garment company in Zhoucun said that the volume of exports in Europe, America and Japan has changed markedly, with the increase of the ring data, with the former maintaining 3-4.

Similarly, there are A shares, Baron East, Weixing shares and hang min shares. Among them, Baron East, the capacity for further release in 2013, is now on the rise by orders of exports. Future: risks remain

Despite the gradual improvement of the export data of textile and clothing, and in reality, there are more and more signs that the export of major textile and garment enterprises in 2013 is expected to have a recovery growth. But Zhang Yanjie and Li Jia also said that the impact of the pressure on cotton industry, textile enterprises, financing difficulties, heavy tax burden, increased labor costs, and more certainty factors in the export environment will not be reduced. "Cotton cheap injury to farmers" is known as "Silver Ridge".

14, this newspaper from Gaoqing County Agricultural Bureau Cotton Office learned that, in 2011 -2013 cotton prices fell sharply in the background, Gaoqing cotton farmers' enthusiasm for planting has been greatly frustrated. The data of cotton planting area in the county showed that cotton planting area was only 52 thousand mu last year, down 43% from the previous year. "In the early 90s of the last century, it was the peak period of Gaoqing cotton growing. Our cotton planting area was about 300 thousand mu, and gradually reduced to 180 thousand mu by 2009. In the past two years, the cotton planting area of Gaoqing has decreased more rapidly." The staff member said.

Data show that at present, cotton prices in Zibo, Dongying and other places have begun to rise. Among them, the price of pure cotton yarn in the late 2 and early March has been tentatively raised by 300-500 yuan / ton.

Besides, Textile enterprise financing Heavy tax burden, labor costs and export environment have not yet been completely reversed and other factors still beset the textile and garment enterprises. Li Jia said.
