< /p >

< p > < strong > two, the main reason for the decrease of textile and clothing export value at Shandong port in May this year is < /strong > < /p >.

< p > (1) the market demand in Japan and the United States is sluggish, leading to a decline in export orders.

Japan and the United States are the main consumers of the international textile and apparel market, and also the traditional export market of textile and clothing at Shandong port. After Japan's consumption tax rose in April 1st, its domestic consumption demand was suppressed. Because of the worries about the growth prospects of salaries, the consumer confidence index of University of Michigan in May reached 81.9, lower than 84.1 in April, and lower than the average 82.5 expected by economists.

The demand for consumer goods was suppressed in Japan and the United States, which led to the caution of foreign customers' orders, and traders' willingness to hoard goods fell to a low level.

Data show that in May, Shandong port exported 21.5% and 7.1% of its textile and apparel exports to Japan and the United States, respectively, and contributed 273.5% and 64.1% respectively to textile and clothing exports in May.

< p > (two) the textile and garment industry in the surrounding countries is developing rapidly, and the orders for medium and low end products have been accelerated.

With the increase of workers' wages and financing costs and the rapid growth of the cost of all kinds of production factors, the low cost advantage of China's textile industry has gradually subsided.

Take labor cost as an example, Bangladesh labor cost is 0.22 dollars / hour, Kampuchea is 0.33 dollars / hour, Vietnam is 0.38 dollars / hour, and our country is 1.08 dollars / hour.

At the same time, the equipment superiority of Southeast Asian and South Asian countries has been gradually exerting force, especially in the fields of yarn, grey cloth, clothing and so on. The quality of products has been matched with most of the small and medium-sized enterprises in China, leading to the acceleration of the export orders of low-end textile and clothing to the neighboring countries.

< /p >

< p > < strong > three, the current textile and clothing export issues worthy of attention: < /strong > /p >

< p > (1) the "green" trade barriers are becoming increasingly stringent, and the risk of export is increasing.

Recently, the Federal Trade Commission of the United States has made a final revision of its textile label rules, including the rules of fiber content and country of origin identification. The International Textile Association of environmental protection has released the 2014 edition of OEKO-TEXStandard100 eco environmental textiles testing standards and limit values. The new version of the standard will be more stringent for the regulation of perfluorooctanoic acid PFOA. Australia's "good environment choice label" has also issued a new standard of environmental friendly textile leather certification.

In addition, in May 17th, the Indonesia bill No. 07/M-IND/PER/2/2014 came into effect. Today, the national standard SNI7617:2013 for infant clothing has been enforced nationwide, and the threshold requirement has been greatly raised.

In order to adapt to the new standards and regulations, export enterprises must increase the corresponding registration and testing costs, reduce the competitiveness of products and increase the risk of export.

< /p >

< p > (two) the advantages of Southeast Asia are becoming increasingly prominent, and the pfer of domestic enterprises needs to be cautious.

In recent years, the developed countries have imposed restrictions on China's export of textile and clothing. More and more domestic textile and garment production enterprises have set up factories in Southeast Asian countries, using the quotas of ASEAN countries to export to Europe and the United States and other consumer markets, so as to avoid the risk of textile quota restrictions.

Although the pfer of textile and garment manufacturing is the inevitable result of the pformation of China's textile industry, enterprises' relocation of Southeast Asia faces certain risks.

On the one hand, due to the lack of understanding of the local policy environment and the needs of employees, there are differences in language and culture, and the management mode is not suited to the problem.

On the other hand, the supply chain in Southeast Asia is not perfect, and there is a gap between infrastructure and quality of workers.

Therefore, enterprises should fully investigate and carefully proceed before choosing to pfer Southeast Asian countries.
