Four Unfavorable Factors Plaguing Textile And Clothing Exports

Yesterday, reporters from Quanzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau Shishi office was informed that, before November this year, from our city port test The 8691 batch of export garments is worth 473 million US dollars (including four towns in southern Shanxi). Although the export garment enterprises in our city have performed better in expanding the emerging markets, they have been left behind by the unfavorable factors such as the continuous shrinking of the international market in recent years. Exit road There are many difficulties. foreign trade Enterprises call him: "foreign trade is hard to go up!"

These four factors are the phenomenon of "de Stocking" in the European and American markets, the obvious changes in the market purchasing pattern, the frequent buyers' refunding of accounts receipts and the sharp increase in reported losses in the Middle East and Europe. Quanzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau Shishi office responsible person said, the first factor is mainly reflected in the European and American market demand continues to slow down, such as the world retail giant Wal-Mart Store Inc has reduced the stock cycle from 8 weeks to 6 weeks; more than 70% of the questionnaire enterprise orders only flat or year-on-year decline, the average order fell 15%-20%. Second, customers are more cautious in placing orders. Small bills, short lists and urgent orders increase. Some orders have been transferred to Southeast Asia, such as Nike shoe's global production order layout has shifted from China to Vietnam. It is reported that Nike sports shoes in Dongguan's largest OEM enterprises in August this year, exports fell by 9.1%.

Third, the European debt crisis is intensifying, and some EU countries have cut their spending. Affected by this, the European market, which was previously regarded as a high reputation and low risk, is also frequently seen by buyers who do not pay back their debts. It is understood that some foreign trade enterprises after delivery, found that the other party can not afford to pay or require discount payment, so that many enterprises are facing the risk of foreign exchange. At the same time, there are some signs of export fraud abroad. According to relevant personages, some local companies in Greece set up a number of trading companies to pay part of the deposit order, and the domestic export enterprises delivered the goods according to the regulations. If the exporters sell the bill of lading to the other party ahead of time, the payment will not be paid until the expiration date. Although some export enterprises require the buyer to pay the goods after delivery, the goods have not yet been delivered, but the goods are all ordered, and once the other party does not pay, there will be losses. The fourth disadvantage is that since the beginning of this year, the social situation in the Middle East and Africa has been continuously turbulent, and armed conflicts have erupted in some areas. According to statistics, in the first 11 months of this year, I lost more than $1 million in large amounts, and credit risk increased significantly. Enterprises that report losses involve various industries, and the risk of foreign exchange collection is concentrated on traditional export products such as shoes, clothing, machinery and electricity.

In this regard, the Quanzhou Shishi Office of the inspection and Quarantine Bureau suggested that the textile export enterprises concerned should first raise awareness of prevention, require enterprises to enter into contracts with importers in advance, understand various production requirements of the products, define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers, protect the legitimate interests of enterprises, and two, establish a good risk prevention mechanism. Enterprises should keep track of buyers' movements in daily business, not only focus on contract subjects, but also pay attention to the operation of downstream consignees or affiliated companies. We should pay attention to the credit investigation of various trade entities and establish a risk tracking mechanism. We should understand and master their operation, credit and solvency through professional advisory bodies. Three, we must always pay close attention to the technical barriers and trade protection measures of relevant countries, and timely and effectively resolve trade disputes through relevant trade protection departments under the framework agreement dispute settlement mechanism. Four, we must strictly control the quality of our products, change the dominant development mode of innovation and quantity expansion, and strive to win the market by quality.
