　　 With the opportunity of the "belt and road" conference of China's textile industry in 2019, Madagascar's textile enterprises have also stepped into the field of vision, showing the appearance of Madagas textile and garment enterprises with a good image.

　　 As an important part of the revival plan in recent years, Madagascar's textile and garment industry has developed rapidly, and a number of mature textile and garment enterprises with perfect industrial chain, advanced equipment, scientific management and strong sense of social responsibility have emerged, of which socota group is one of them. Socota group was established in Madagascar in 1930, and its first fabric factory was established in 1950. So far, the development process of the whole textile and garment industry chain began. After nearly 70 years of development, socota group has become a textile and garment industry chain enterprise integrating production and R & D. in recent years, socota has close cooperation with Bershka, CAMA? EU, Decathlon, puma, Zara, etc.

　　 In the future, socota group hopes to cooperate with Chinese textile and garment enterprises in textile and garment production technology, enterprise management, sales channels, etc., and the group will also provide assistance for Chinese textile enterprises to invest and cooperate in Madagascar. 　

　　 In recent years, Africa is becoming a new hot spot for China's textile industry to invest abroad. Jiangsu Sunshine, Wuxi Yimian, Inner Mongolia Luwang and other domestic textile enterprises have invested in Africa. During the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China Africa cooperation in 2018, China government The first is to encourage Chinese enterprises to strengthen industrial investment in Africa, especially in traditional and emerging fields such as manufacturing industry. This goal undoubtedly accumulates strong momentum for the all-round cooperation in the field of textile and clothing between China and Africa. 　

　　 Among these countries, Madagascar's economic development is remarkable, and as a new green space for investment, it has attracted more and more attention from various industries. Madagascar economic report (spring 2019) released by the World Bank Update) said that Malaysia's GDP in 2018 was 40.3 trillion ariari (about 12.1 billion US dollars), with an actual growth of 5.2%; it is expected that the growth rate of Malaysia will maintain 5.2% in 2019, and the medium-term economic prospect will be better, and the agriculture, energy industry, construction industry, manufacturing industry, service industry and other industries will develop steadily. Based on jirama's expectation to improve its operation, the average growth rate of energy industry will reach 10.8% from 2019 to 2021.

　　 Not only that, Malaysia government A series of revitalization plans have been issued to promote the industrialization process of Malaysia, and the "development of textile and clothing industry" is one of the national key objectives. While actively attracting foreign investment, it vigorously develops infrastructure construction, energy and hydropower protection, and actively creates a high-quality business environment.

　　 In addition, Madagascar is a member of the southern African Development Community (SADC), the common market for southeast Africa (COMESA) and the IOC (Indian Ocean Commission), with more than 600 million potential consumers in the free trade organization region. In July 2017, Madagascar signed the tripartite free trade agreement (TFTA), which combines the southern African Development Community (SADC), the common market for southeast Africa (COMESA) and the East African community (EAC), including 57% of the African population. It is also a "free trade partnership" with the African continent (CFA) signed with the United States. All of these will bring more benefits to enterprises' landing investment, breaking regional trade barriers.

　　 From the pioneering period to the golden age, with the resolute pace of the belt and road initiative, the exchanges and cooperation between China and African countries have entered a new stage of development. To the east of the African continent and the west of the Indian Ocean, Madagascar, the "new green land" for investment in the textile and clothing industry in Africa, is coming to us with a new posture.
