Over the same period, exports of textiles, yarns, fabrics and articles were 590 million yuan, down 9%, mainly exported to ASEAN and Hongkong, accounting for 6 of the total proportion of the same products.

Good policy and double drive for European and American markets

Under the joint action of favorable policies and the warming of European and American markets, the growth of textile and clothing exports in Shantou in the first quarter will be promoted.

On the one hand, measures such as stabilizing foreign trade and promoting growth were gradually put into place. In May last year, the general office of the State Council issued some opinions on supporting steady growth of foreign trade, and local governments also issued a series of implementation measures. All kinds of policies have effectively boosted the confidence of enterprises and the market. In addition, in December 31, 2014, the state issued the notice on adjusting the export tax rebate rate of some products, clearly improving the export tax rebate rate of some textiles and garments, easing the export pressure of textile and garment enterprises.

According to customs statistics, in the first quarter, the export tax rebate rate of enterprises in Shantou customs area increased by 420 million yuan, up 16.3%.

On the other hand, the European and American consumer market has been driving the growth of the textile and clothing industry in Europe and the United States in the European and American consumer markets, and the growth rate has been higher than the total. This year, the sustained recovery process in Europe and the United States has stimulated consumer demand to rise. According to statistics, the US consumer confidence index rebounded to 101.3 in March following the fall in February. The initial value of consumer confidence index rose sharply in March and continued to rise in February. It has reached a new high since July 2007. According to customs statistics, the export value of textile and clothing enterprises in the Shantou area in the first quarter to the European and American markets amounted to 1 billion 590 million yuan, up 18.7% over the same period last year, accounting for 31.7% of the total value of textile and garment exports in the Shantou area in the same period.

Speed up the diversification of foreign trade subjects

Export products are still subject to trade barriers, and the quality of products is still rising.

In the first 13 weeks of this year, 320 products, including 64.8% of the total notification, were issued in the product notification issued by the European non food quick warning system (RAPEX), of which 45.3% were toys and clothing products.

And fashion items.

In the first quarter, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall product bulletin involving 24 Chinese products, involving 11 traditional labour intensive products such as clothing, furniture and toys.

The frequent trade frictions are influenced by factors such as reconstruction of international economic and trade order and geopolitical disputes. However, it also reflects that there is still a gap between China's traditional labor intensive products and the developed countries such as Europe and the United States.

At present, the access threshold for consumer goods involving quality and safety in Europe and the United States is still improving. Most of the traditional labor intensive products are final consumer goods, which still needs to be highly concerned by enterprises.

The reaction to emerging trade formats is obviously lagging behind.

With the development of economic globalization, the division and integration of the international industrial chain is further deepened. Cross border e-commerce has become an important tool for international trade competition with higher trade efficiency. In order to adapt to the new trade features of diversification of foreign trade entities, small scale orders and high frequency, the new forms of "market procurement" trade mode and foreign trade comprehensive service enterprises emerge.

But there are many textiles in the Shantou customs area.

Cluster, taking Shantou as an example, although Shantou is one of the most important textile and garment industry bases in China, in recent years, under the guidance of national and local policies, it has actively explored industrial pformation and upgrading, such as promoting the construction of e-commerce parks and developing e-commerce on the basis of visible market operation. However, it still has relatively slow response in adapting to and developing new trade formats, so far there is no relevant export record.
