"Climate issues, sports and

And retailers' competition and discount war are real factors, but we can't change them so we concentrate on what we can do.

He said.

First of all, he said, "we have accepted.

The fact has changed and the process will continue.

The good old days are gone. The new fact we face is a comprehensive and severe challenge.

The total value of the outdoor industry is 10 billion euros. Big data, market research, industry input and supply chain control are inevitable and are developing trends.

He suggested that we should work together with our customers to work hard for our customers.

Technology and consumer choice are the ultimate determinants of reaching the market, and the purchasing power of consumers will affect us.

We should try to satisfy.

And work together in the right way. "

Finally, the Rolf initiative "increases enthusiasm for the industry".

"Our industry has a special passion for sports and sports events, so that we can find more incentives to stimulate enthusiasm and participation."

Philippines's local clothing manufacturers and durable consumer goods manufacturers' export revenue this year is expected to grow by 10%-15%, as Philippines has already won the general GSP (GSP) granted by the EU.

Robert Young, chairman of the Philippines foreign purchasers Association (FOBAP), said that after the EU's general GSP treatment was received, the export of shoes, clothing and handicrafts from Philippines to the EU would be exempt from customs duties. This means that more products will be exported to the EU in the future, and the price of the factory will also increase and more Filipinos will be employed.

In addition, the improvement of Philippines's global competitiveness ranking will also be another important factor in the dramatic increase in Philippines's export earnings this year.

This will attract the attention of foreign buyers to Philippines and will be more active in Philippines to choose and buy goods.

Germany and France are the largest importers of handicrafts and other consumer durables in Philippines, and Britain is the biggest buyer of children's clothing in Philippines.

For German and French purchasers, handicrafts in Philippines are more attractive than other countries.

The artistic standard of Philippines handicrafts has reached the international standard level.

There is no doubt that handicrafts produced by Philippines are more competitive than other countries in the ASEAN region.

In addition, the establishment of ASEAN economic community this year will bring competition for production costs to different ASEAN countries.
