As a traditional dominant industry that occupies an important part in the total export volume of China, textile export is China. Balance of trade surplus The main source. In the background of the weakening of external demand in the post crisis era, China's textile exports have resumed in the first quarter of this year, but the challenges ahead are severe.

The Ministry of Commerce recently held a symposium on textile export enterprises during the 107th Canton Fair. Most enterprises believe that textile exports have recovered since the first quarter of this year, which is better than the same period last year.

Xinhua Jin group Shandong Jinyi Spin Zou Kai, head of the company, said in an interview with reporters that compared with the previous two years, foreign trade Things have improved a lot. He said, "last January, I went to the Frankfurt exhibition. There were few businessmen, and fewer customers would like to leave contact. This time, there are obviously more customers coming to the Canton Fair.

However, the representatives attending the forum held that the prospects for textile exports this year are not optimistic. From the external environment, the recovery rate of the European and American markets is not as good as expected, which leads to the reduction of the customers' ability to bear prices and the difficulty of improving the prices of export products. From the domestic environment, the cost of textile export products is rising, due to the rising cost of labor, raw materials, especially cotton prices, and the appreciation of the renminbi. In view of this, China's textile export prospects are facing severe challenges.

In response, the director of the Ministry of Commerce pointed out that the problems exposed by enterprises in the financial crisis are fundamentally the way of development and the strength of competition. Enterprises should constantly improve their core competitiveness, fully tap the potential of the internal, improve the technological content of products, research and develop marketable products, and fundamentally change the way of development.

It is worth noting that China's textile enterprises are taking various positive measures to cope with the predictably difficult situation ahead. The director of Guangzhou Holly Lai textile industry and trade group revealed to the media that the process of purchasing upstream fabric suppliers was exhibited on the Canton Fair, and the "carbon emission" of clothing was marked. In the future, the company will increase imports of products, especially those with high technology content, high differentiation and high value-added products, so as to enhance the competitiveness of products.
