The Ministry Of Industry And Commerce Takes Measures To Help Textile Enterprises Operate Stably.

The textile industry is an important livelihood industry for protecting and improving people's lives and absorbing employment. It is an industry with international competitive advantages and a large proportion of exports. It is also a very complete industry chain. In April 16th, Xu Kemin, director of the Ministry of industry and information technology industry policy and regulation, told a news conference that in the face of the epidemic situation, the textile industry actively promoted enterprises to resume work and resume production on the premise of conscientiously carrying out epidemic prevention and control. For example, masks, protective clothing and their upstream and downstream supporting enterprises had been fully restored to work after the Spring Festival, which has made important contributions to the prevention and control of epidemic situation. Since mid February, the textile industry has begun to comprehensively promote the resumption of production, such as the Zhejiang online Textile City Trading Platform in February 10th to take the lead in the resumption of business, and the light textile city yard also resumed in February 18th, ensuring the smooth trade of textile fabrics, and also promoting the resumption of local printing and dyeing industry. According to the survey of 7.5 textile enterprises of 28 key textile industrial clusters in 13 provinces, the recovery rate has reached 90%, and the turnover rate of workers has reached 86%.

Xu Kemin said that the current international epidemic is spreading rapidly, and the textile industry, especially small and medium-sized textile enterprises, has some difficulties. One is the lack of demand. From the domestic perspective, the retail sales of clothing, shoes and hats and needle textiles decreased by 31% compared with the same period in the domestic market in 1-2. Internationally, a large number of export orders have been delayed or cancelled since March, and new orders have also been greatly reduced. According to the survey results of more than 100 key enterprises by China Cotton Textile Industry Association, the proportion of enterprises that reflected insufficient orders accounted for 63.6%. Two, the pressure of steady employment in the industry is increasing. The pressure of order reduction is going along the industrial chain to the upstream, which will have an impact on the normal operation of the textile industry chain, and the employment situation in the industry is becoming grim. Three, enterprises reflect financial constraints. Affected by the decline of orders and the withdrawal of orders, the inventory of raw materials and finished products of textile enterprises increased, especially in the chemical fiber industry. Due to the fact that continuous production can not be stopped, there is tremendous pressure on inventory and the amount of capital occupied is also increasing.

Xu Kemin said that government departments at all levels are actively taking action against the outstanding problems reflected by enterprises. The first is to promote the policy of supporting enterprises that have been introduced. Two is to help enterprises transform production and stabilize operation. For example, some textile enterprises have maintained normal operation and stable workforce through changing protective clothing and other protective supplies. Three is to take measures to help enterprises expand the market demand space, such as Shandong province launched the "director sells yarn" activities, to the national buyers recommend Shandong yarn. Jiangsu red beans accelerate the layout of intelligent production, intelligent storage, intelligent stores, and actively expand online sales, online sales accounted for an increase of 10% this year. Four is to play the supporting role of information technology to promote industrial upgrading. Around the links of product development, manufacturing, global marketing and other industrial chain, we push enterprises to transform to information and intelligence, and support enterprises to increase varieties, quality and brand, and expand multi-level and multi-channel consumer market.
