Hot focus

In May, the foreign trade market began to "break the ice": ports in many countries were opened one after another.

After 1 months of stoppage, at the end of April, more than 500 garment factories in Bangladesh began to resume production and provide products to all the major clothing brands in the world. In addition, with the opening of ports in many countries, many of the exported goods can reach the destination port at sea. Before the delay in delivery, some countries have agreed to deliver the goods. It can be said that the foreign trade industry began to "improve" gradually.

Growth of imports of textile yarns, fabrics and products in China in 1-4

According to the database of China Business Industry Research Institute, the import amount of China's textile yarn, fabrics and products decreased in April 2020, and the import amount of Chinese textile yarn, fabrics and products in April 2020 was 1 billion 138 million 600 thousand US dollars, down 25.4% from the same period last year.

　　 Under the impact of the new crown disease, the pressure on the economic operation of the industry in the first quarter increased significantly.

Affected by the epidemic, orders for textile enterprises at home and abroad were significantly reduced in the first quarter, and the efficiency situation was seriously declining. Production and operation encountered unprecedented difficulties, and investment and development confidence were obviously insufficient. Statistics show that in the first quarter, the main operational indicators of the textile industry showed a negative growth trend, and faced a major test to maintain stable operation.

Multinational cotton organization calls for greater coordination and cooperation to revitalize textile production.

According to the three surveys conducted by the international textile manufacturers Union (ITMF) on 13-25 March 2020, 6 -4 March 28th, and April 16th -28, 600 enterprises around the world showed that the proportion of global textile orders cancelled or postponed from around 8% to 40% or so compared with the same period last year. In 2020, the global textile industry expected to expand its turnover from 10% to 33%.

At present, the change of cotton and textile trade orders has affected cotton traders and cotton growers. Therefore, we need to consider how to realize cooperation and communication in the whole industry chain. The association will continue to do relevant work and make the following recommendations:

1, it is suggested that the state should include cotton and textile industry in key supporting industries, and increase support and support for key industries and small and medium-sized enterprises in finance and taxation. We should give full play to the role of backbone enterprises in stabilizing the market and provide necessary support to them as an effective supplement to the state's macroeconomic regulation and control.

2, it is suggested that foreign-related legal aid should be provided to enterprises in need to cope with possible legal disputes involving foreign trade arbitration and so on, so as to safeguard the interests of enterprises to the greatest extent.

3, it is suggested that the government vigorously boost domestic demand for cotton and textiles, guide export oriented foreign trade enterprises to upgrade and maintain sustainable and stable development of cotton textile industry.
