Overseas Sales Of Portugal'S Textile And Garment Industry Increased Year On Year In The First Four Months

Portugal's textile and clothing industry overseas sales in the first four months of this year were close to 2.082 billion euros, an increase of 18% over the same period in 2021, Portuguese "cash daily" reported on June 12. Although Portugal's manufacturing exports have generally increased, especially in markets outside the EU, exporters are concerned that the war in Ukraine, inflation, lack of raw materials and shortage of personnel will affect overseas sales in the coming months. In addition, there is a higher demand for raw materials in the war. And energy and raw material prices are also eroding corporate profits. In addition, the population problem in Portugal, the domestic proposal to reduce working hours, and the inability to attract immigrants on an ideal scale have also brought about a shortage of human resources for enterprises.
