There Are Still New Ways To Export Textiles And Clothing In Danger.

Data released by the General Administration of Customs show that in the first 5 months, China's textile and apparel exports totaled 96 billion 160 million US dollars, down 1.2%, less than the overall decline in the overall trade in goods. Among them, textile exports amounted to 57 billion 950 million US dollars, an increase of 21.3%, and clothing exports of 38 billion 210 million US dollars, down 22.8%.

At the news conference of the 2020 Henan clothing brand live conference held recently, many people in the industry said that the epidemic had a great impact on China's textile and clothing trade. The export situation of yarn, fabrics, home textiles or garments is rather severe. But in many years of international competition, China's textile and garment industry has shown strong and comprehensive international competitiveness.

"Garment industry is one of the important traditional industries in Henan Province, and also one of the four largest export products. The total import and export volume of clothing in 2019 amounted to 15 billion 580 million yuan, of which 13 billion 350 million yuan was exported and 2 billion 230 million yuan was imported. Gao Xiang, deputy director of the Henan Provincial Department of Commerce, said that during the epidemic period, the distance between home segregation and social distance promoted the rapid development of direct seeding electricity providers. This conference is to use the live broadcasting platform to create a situation of "100 enterprises and thousands of stores selling 10000 goods" to boost the popularity and influence of Henan clothing. The conference also held a "Clothing Industry Summit Forum" to invite representatives of economic experts, scholars and business circles to analyze the trend of China's Internet economy, take the pulse of Henan's economic development, share the new retail experience and mode of live broadcast, and help Henan's clothing industry "go to sea."

"The consumption habits of global consumers are undergoing profound changes, especially the new formats such as online shopping. It has become the trend of development all over the world. The epidemic has accelerated this trend." Zhang Xian, vice president of the China Textiles Import and export chamber, told reporters that the successful experience of China in the field of live goods delivery can be carried forward in the field of cross-border e-commerce, and it is imperative to open up new channels for foreign trade sales.

Zhang Xian also suggested that China should continue to invest more in intelligent manufacturing and product research and development to effectively cope with competition in low cost countries. "At present, the productivity of Vietnam, Bangladesh, Burma and other countries is 80%, 60% and 50% of China respectively. Due to the relatively low production efficiency of Southeast Asian countries, although the labor cost is low, the FOB price of the same products is at the same level as that of China. The advantage is that they can enjoy preferential trade treatment for the export of related countries. Through intelligent manufacturing and product development and rapid response capability, we can solve the problem of high domestic costs to a certain extent and continue to maintain the comprehensive competitive advantage of China's textile and garment trade, which is also the biggest magic weapon for orders growth.

At the same time, China's textile and garment export enterprises should actively explore diversified markets. In Zhang Xian's view, although the traditional export markets such as Europe, America and Japan are still the main battlefields of China's foreign trade both in the short term and in the medium to long term, the diversified market development strategy advocated by China has played an important role in stabilizing China's foreign trade export in recent years. In the first quarter of this year, ASEAN has leapt to China's largest export market for textiles and clothing, accounting for 21% of exports, and for the first time exceeded exports to the European Union. It is also an important way to increase export orders by decentralization of market risks and actively developing the markets of developing countries such as "one belt and one road".

"With the international efforts to fight epidemic disease and the resumption of production and recovery, China's industrial chain, supply chain and international market will be re and more closely linked, and the import and export of foreign trade will be further restored and increased." Zhang Xian said that the Canton Fair, which is being held online, is China's largest foreign trade platform. We must make good use of it and dig more orders. In addition, the third China International Import fair in the second half of this year, more than 4000 export oriented wholesale markets engaged in international purchasing trade and online trade in 105 cross border electricity supplier pilot cities are all important platforms for promoting foreign trade growth. Moreover, various policies to promote the development of foreign trade are also strong backing for foreign trade enterprises to take orders. Foreign trade enterprises must make full use of various supporting policies such as export credit insurance policy and timely export tax rebate policy.
