"Our membership is indeed increasing, but compared to last year, the growth rate is much slower."

He added.

< p > the Kampuchea clothing association has 500 clothing and shoe factory members.

Of course, the number of clothing and shoe factories in Kampuchea is much more than that because some factories do not join the association.

Most of the garment factories in Kampuchea (P) are processed simply, and almost all garment factories are foreign invested. The investors are mainly in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Hongkong and Mainland China.

Kampuchea garment factories are mainly concentrated in Phnom Penh and Sihanouk. Most of the clothing and footwear raw materials in Kampuchea are imported from Asian countries, especially from China, Japan and South Korea.

At present, Kampuchea garment factory has the technological level of water washing, nail bead, tie dyeing, embroidery and so on, but the dyeing and finishing ability is not yet available.

The minimum wage of clothing enterprises in Kampuchea is US $83 per month, but the average wage is around us $110-120 per month.

< p > > a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_f.asp" > Kampuchea < /a > the wage level is very low, which has great attraction for clothing and other labor-intensive industries.

In recent years, due to the rising labor costs in China, a considerable number of Hong Kong and Taiwan funded enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises and even some mainland enterprises have shifted their production to low wage countries such as Kampuchea and Vietnam.

But too low wages will also cause workers to resist, Kampuchea clothing workers in January this year held a large-scale protest and killed 5 people.

After this incident, the order of clothing factories in Kampuchea had a certain degree of decline.
