< p > recently, when I visited some home textile foreign trade enterprises with relevant personnel of Tongzhou District Business Bureau of Nantong, Jiangsu, many enterprises were faced with multiple troubles. Ji Wei, director of the Tongzhou District Foreign Trade Bureau's foreign trade management section, believes that from the perspective of the development environment of the industry, labor costs and other problems such as continuous increase in production costs and financing difficulties can hardly be improved in the short term. The difference between domestic and foreign cotton prices is still widening, and the development environment of the home textile industry is still grim. < /p >

< p > from the macro environment, in recent years, due to the weakening of the international market demand, the slow growth of domestic market demand, and the excessive cotton price difference at home and abroad, the operation of China's home textile industry has shown a downward trend, the growth rate of production has obviously declined, the export volume has decreased, and the performance of enterprises has been showing signs of decline. From the small environment, the rising pressure of labor, raw materials, resources, environment and other cost elements is long-term and rigid, which has a greater impact on the development of SMEs. This year, the fabric enterprises in Tongzhou are greatly affected by the price fluctuation of cotton yarn, and the situation is worrying. A company's import and export volume reached US $22 million 938 thousand last year, ranking the top 30 of the total import and export volume in Tongzhou. However, the import and export volume in the first half of this year dropped by 44.7% over the same period last year. According to the enterprise, due to the rising price of raw materials such as cotton yarns, orders were significantly reduced, and foreign customers began to shift to Vietnam, Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. < /p >

< p > home textile industry is one of the pillar industries of Tongzhou's foreign trade. Tongzhou District bedding base has formed a complete industrial chain integrating spinning, weaving, printing, dyeing, finished products, packaging and sales in six parts. However, most of the products of these home textile enterprises are located in the middle and low end, with low technology content and low added value. Such a product structure can quickly open the market in the short term, but in the long run, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries have low cost factors, and the competitiveness of Tongzhou's low-end home textile enterprises will gradually weaken. < /p >
On the contrary, Jiangsu golden sun Textile Trading Co., Ltd., relying on a strong R & D team, has continuously developed new products with high technology content. The golden sun home textile design and Research Institute has also become the Nantong home textile product design and development service platform. The products designed have continuously occupied the high end home textile market and have won a higher profit. Last year, the company achieved an export volume of US $11 million 261 thousand, an increase of 132.3% over the previous year. According to the person in charge of the company, the order of the first half of this year was finalized at the beginning of the year. < /p >

After the Spring Festival, the recruitment market is gradually heating up. However, some small and medium-sized home textile enterprises in Tongzhou are experiencing difficulties in recruitment and labor shortage. Even after the Lantern Festival, workers are not yet fully in place. P < /p >
< p > this problem is mainly caused by the continuous rise in labor costs. The wages of front-line workers in a home textile enterprise have risen to 4000 yuan ~6000 yuan, which makes the enterprises feel pressure, and it is difficult for them to endure. The loss of workers and business personnel in the workshop also brings difficulties to the continuous production and operation of enterprises. At the same time, some large foreign customers have strict requirements for the employment of enterprises. For example, they must give workers five risks and one gold, arrange weekend weekends and so on, so that many home textile enterprises are under great pressure. < /p >

< p > financing is difficult and expensive. It is a bottleneck that puzzles the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a bottleneck that puzzles the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Although the government has constantly introduced policies to promote financial services to increase the strength of small and medium-sized enterprises, but because of the weakness of accounts opaque, lack of effective mortgage and pledge, and the consideration of commercial banks based on profits, it is difficult for small businesses to obtain loans, mainly by borrowing between relatives or friends or borrowing from private loans at high interest rates. Therefore, solving the financing bottleneck problem of SMEs is still a long way to go. Troubled by the exchange rate volatility of the 5 exchange rate, the renminbi has depreciated this year, but the exchange rate has begun to rebound recently. In July 21st, the central parity of RMB against the US dollar was 6.1547, which rose 21 basis points compared with the previous trading day, and ended the trend of "six consecutive losses". The appreciation of the renminbi has caused great losses to export enterprises, because the appreciation of the renminbi has prompted the price of Chinese goods to rise in overseas markets, and the profit margins calculated by the enterprises in local currency will shrink, causing the cost of the export of enterprises to rise and affecting the competitiveness of enterprises in the international market. In 2013, a domestic textile enterprise lost 2 million yuan in exchange rate plus high tariffs, which made the enterprises uncompetitive in price. Therefore, they are prepared to increase the proportion of domestic sales this year to alleviate the difficulties. < /p >
