Hebei Clothing Enterprises Export To Domestic Market "Acclimatized"

The data released by the Shijiazhuang Municipal Bureau of Commerce show people's chill in the development of Hebei textile enterprises in the financial crisis: "the 104th China Import and Export Fair textile and garment trade volume was 35 million 900 thousand US dollars, down 33% from the same period last year."

"Such a large decline is mainly due to the impact of the financial crisis."

Liu Lianhong, President of Hebei garment industry association, said, "Hebei's textile and garment industry has entered an unprecedented" cold winter ".

The textile trade of Shijiazhuang City, which has just concluded, is 35 million 900 thousand dollars, down 33% from the same period last year.

"The number of foreign buyers purchasing from the Canton Fair has decreased significantly."

Liu Junshan, chairman of Hebei Bai Li Xin home textile Co., Ltd., from the back of the Canton Fair, told the grim situation to the staff of the company. Due to the financial crisis, orders in some European and American countries were greatly reduced.

The official data released by the Commerce Bureau of the Shi Shi City show that the turnover of the textile and garment trade in Shijiazhuang city just ended was 35 million 900 thousand dollars, down 33% from the same period last year.

The main reason is that the international consumer market has shrunk and the procurement activities of professional buyers in the European and American markets have been reduced by the financial crisis.

Reporter learned from the provincial clothing association, by September 2008, Hebei textile industry 1326 integrated textile enterprises to achieve the main business income of 90 billion 700 million yuan, an increase of 22.98% over the same period.

"But the growth rate of income is falling."

Liu Lianhong added that if the exchange losses were deducted, the increase would be even smaller.

The loss of Hebei textile enterprises has reached 11.84%, and the total deficit of the deficit companies is 497 million yuan, up 68.47% over the same period last year.

Against this background, most textile and garment enterprises in Hebei have begun to make a detour and try to avoid operation in the European and American markets.

Some of them chose to export to domestic sales.

It is "accustomed to dealing with foreigners" and "turning to domestic sales at once".

"These are all foreign trade garments. Choose one.

Now that the financial crisis is going on, many garment exporters have taken the initiative to contact us. The quality is high and the price is substantial.

In a clothing store in Zhongshan Road, Shijiazhuang, the boss told reporters.

The boss said that in the past month, there were no less than 10 foreign trade clothing salesmen and their own business contacts.

"In order to avoid the cold storm of the financial turmoil, every enterprise is trying to find a safe haven."

Liu Lianhong said that many textile enterprises have begun to switch to domestic sales, but some foreign traders do not understand the domestic market at all, and businesses are also frustrated.

"These two days are going to be crazy."

Mr. Wang, a foreign trade clothing company in Hebei, told reporters that he had about 100000 yuan in debt and was locked up in the European and American markets. During this period, he had to think about bonds and actively seek relations and seek domestic sales.

"But I have a headache even when exporting to domestic sales."

Mr. Wang said that he was accustomed to dealing with foreigners, and suddenly turned to domestic sales. He did not know how to get through the downstream buyers.

"Don't try not to know, try to scare."

Mr. Wang said, the domestic market is hard to develop, small batch, urgent delivery, seasonal restrictions, large risk of capital withdrawal, and better operation than foreign trade.

Liu Lianhong said that the competition in the domestic market was fierce. Since the beginning of this year, the oversupply of domestic textile and clothing structure has been aggravated, and the market profits have shrunk sharply.

The "winter" also needs to "walk on two legs". "Every big economic fluctuation will force every industry to reposition, improve its own advantages and choose a new way out."

From August 1st, the export tax rebate rate of some textiles and clothing was adjusted from 11% to 13%, and the export tax rebate rate of some textiles and clothing was mentioned in November 1st, and 14% of the export tax rebate rate was mentioned in November 1st.

But the Hebei Garment Industry Association believes that the difficulties in the textile industry are still difficult to improve in a short time.

It is estimated that in the fourth quarter and next year, the output of major textile and clothing products and economic indicators will continue to fall.

"This financial crisis is a bad thing and a good thing."

Liu Lianhong said, "every big economic fluctuation will force every industry to reposition, improve its own advantages and choose a new way out."

"Facing the unfavorable situation, speeding up the structural adjustment and realizing pformation and upgrading is the only way for our textile industry to break through the difficulties."

Liu Lianhong believes that although the export of textile enterprises to domestic sales will be discomfort for a time, the best way out is to insist on "walking on two legs", both domestic and export.

Domestic sales should focus on innovative products to occupy the market, and strengthen brand building and R & D investment.
