< p > experts point out that the current unfavorable factors of the entire textile and garment industry are gradually increasing, and the price of labor and labor is rising rigidly, and the price gap between domestic and foreign companies remains high.

In this regard, the industry analysis, the province's textile and garment industry should take the initiative to adapt to market changes, pay attention to enhance brand image, speed up the pformation of technology and equipment, actively try new business models, explore new ways of survival and development.

< p > a day ago, in the production workshop of Pan Mei Clothing Co., Ltd. in Hebei, Xianxian County, Li Shumin, a garment maker, cut a piece of a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > cloth "/a" with a cutting knife. Under her lightweight hand, a fashionable and beautiful suit was about to take shape.

"At present, the production line is running at full capacity due to the increase in the number of enterprise orders."

Wang Zhimin, chief financial officer, told reporters.

< /p >

< p > the situation of garment enterprises' production and management has improved, and has also been recognized by many garment enterprises in Rongcheng County, a famous clothing city in North China.

"At present, the market is good, and we have enough orders."

Zhang Youfang, chairman of Hebei Li you fashion group, said.

< /p >

< p > statistics from Shijiazhuang Customs show that in the first quarter, our province exported 1 billion 82 million US dollars of textile and clothing, an increase of 17.36% over the same period last year, a 20.9 percentage point increase over last year.

Clothing and accessories (hereinafter referred to as clothing) exported to US $698 million, accounting for 10% of the total export value of the province.

Compared with the same period last year, an increase of 25.3%, higher than the national garment export growth rate of 5.9 percentage points.

< /p >

< p > the increase of export orders and the full load production of enterprises should be a pleasure. But as a traditional labor-intensive industry, the shortage of workers has become a difficult problem faced by some garment enterprises.

"At present, in the textile and garment industry, it is not only difficult for the workers but also the wages have risen a lot. The average local workers in Rongcheng have to pay more than 2000 yuan a month, and skilled workers may earn more than 3000 yuan."

Provincial Textile and garment industry association responsible person said.

< /p >

< p > reporters understand that about 70% of the textile and garment enterprises in our province think that the rising cost of labor is the primary reason that affects the efficiency of enterprises. At present, the labor cost of the textile and garment industry gathering place in our province is not lower than that of large and medium-sized cities.

< /p >

< p > according to the insiders, the labor cost in the textile industry accounts for a large proportion of the enterprise expenses. The wages of the workers in the province basically reach 2000 - 3000 yuan / month, and the monthly salary of the garment enterprises like India and Bangladesh is only 300 - 600 yuan, which is 5 times the difference.

"Coexistence of high costs and recruitment difficulties has led to a decline in export competitiveness of our textile and garment industry, and orders from developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan have begun to shift to South Asian and Southeast Asian countries, and the export pressure faced by enterprises is gradually increasing."

Provincial Textile and garment industry association responsible person said.

< p > < strong > the difference between cotton price at home and abroad is large, and the textile industry is still slowly adjusting < /strong > < /p >.

< p > "at present, the textile industry has improved its efficiency, and the business has improved. This undoubtedly opens up a good start for the textile industry this year. But in the long run, the pace of product restructuring is slow and the investment in technological innovation is insufficient. The entire textile industry is still in a slow adjustment period."

The provincial textile and garment industry association official said that the textile industry as a whole should also work hard to solve a series of external policy environment constraints such as cotton price and long-term management system.

< /p >

< p > according to the insiders, the current domestic cotton management policy has broken the regulatory role of the market, resulting in a big difference in cotton prices at home and abroad, resulting in a serious weakening of the competitiveness of the cotton textile industry and the poor efficiency of the enterprises.

< /p >

< p > a few days ago, the seven departments of the national development and Reform Commission released the "cotton temporary storage and purchase plan for 2013" again, making it clear that the purchase and storage of cotton will continue to be held in 2013, and the cotton temporary storage and storage price will be maintained at 20400 yuan / ton.

"Meanwhile, the cotton price in the international market is equivalent to RMB 15000 yuan to 16000 yuan per ton in the same period."

A person in charge of a large textile enterprise in our province said that although the domestic and foreign cotton prices have narrowed recently, the price difference between inside and outside has nearly 5000 yuan / ton.

< /p >

< p > "cotton textile enterprises must strive for the quota of imported cotton if they want to buy cheap cotton abroad. The quota of imported cotton is equivalent to the direct decline of raw material cost of textile enterprises, which has great impact on the economic benefits of enterprises."

Insiders say that the quota of imported cotton is set to limit the impact of foreign cotton imports on the domestic cotton market. At present, it is usually difficult for most textile enterprises in the province to obtain quotas.

< /p >

< p > "this year's national cotton reserves have become the main supply channels for cotton in China. The import quotas and the selling price of reserve cotton all have an important impact on the cost reduction of textile enterprises."

The provincial textile and garment industry association responsible person said that the textile enterprises in the province should pay attention to the domestic and foreign cotton market dynamics, grasp the actual cotton situation and demand in time, put forward targeted suggestions on the quotas of imported cotton and the timing, price and auction of the national cotton storage, and promote the long-term and long-term management system reform of cotton prices.
