Enping Textile And Clothing: Where To Go In The Adversity

At the beginning of October, Enping Municipal Party Committee set up six special research groups according to the development status of several pillar industries in the city, such as textile and clothing industry, to conduct research on microphone electroacoustic equipment industry, building materials and chemical industry, textile and clothing industry, tourism industry, real estate and town level economy, in order to further understand the current international and domestic economic situation, Take measures to help enterprises overcome difficulties and promote their development. At the same time, let enterprises see the determination of Enping Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to support enterprise development, enhance the confidence of enterprise development, further expand and strengthen all major industries, so as to promote the development of Enping. In order to closely cooperate with this work, Jiangmen Daily Enping News specially launched the column of "Enping Industry Vision", which focuses on the current problems and countermeasures of Enping industry, and invites readers to pay attention. The textile and clothing industry in Enping has always been the main industry of the city's industrial economy, and its contribution and role rank second in the city's three major industrial industries. At present, the industry has initially formed a "one-stop" industrial chain from spinning, knitting, weaving, chemical fiber, dyeing and finishing, garment making to textile machinery. The main products are all kinds of cotton yarn, knitted fabrics, denim, chemical fiber non-woven fabrics and all kinds of clothing. The industry employs more than 10000 people. The textile and clothing industry undoubtedly plays a decisive role in the economic development of the city. At present, under the influence of the domestic and international environment, the industry has been in trouble: since the second half of last year, due to the adjustment of national macro policies and changes in domestic and foreign market demand, the industry has encountered serious difficulties, especially the financial tsunami that broke out in the United States has evolved into a global economic crisis, which has had a significant impact on the export-oriented Enping garment enterprises, Make the operation of enterprises worse. [Operation Status] Showing four characteristics According to the investigation of the textile and clothing industry research group of the city (hereinafter referred to as the "research group"), the operation of the textile and clothing industry of the city in the current global economic crisis presents four characteristics: First, there is an obvious downward trend in the growth rate of enterprises. From January to September this year, the total industrial output value of textile enterprises above designated size in the city increased by only 0.8% compared with the same period last year; The industrial added value increased slightly by 0.2% over the same period last year. The production growth rate of enterprises has obviously declined, and some enterprises even have a negative growth of 10% - 40%, forcing them to reduce the production scale and stop opening some production lines. Second, textile exports continued to grow, with a relatively stable growth rate. According to customs statistics, from January to August this year, the textile exports of the city increased by 24.43% year on year. The research team believes that the main reason for the growth is that new enterprises have been put into production in recent years in the city. The export of new enterprises has grown rapidly, the export regions are relatively scattered, and the market dispersion has offset the impact of the single market contraction on enterprises. Third, most enterprises are facing serious difficulties due to the large increase in operating costs and low profit margins. The research team believes that since last year, due to the rapid appreciation of the RMB, the national policy of reducing export tax rebates and the rapid rise in the price of raw materials and other factors, the operating costs of enterprises have increased significantly, which has greatly shrunk the profit space of enterprises. The US financial crisis has also obviously affected enterprise production. It is expected that the industry will face a series of greater difficulties and challenges from the end of the year to the beginning of next year. Fourth, fixed asset investment declined slowly and the growth momentum weakened. The research team believes that since this year, due to the adverse changes in the macro environment, the speed of investment in the city's industry has slowed down significantly, and some projects have been constructed slowly, with some concerns. Based on the above four characteristics, the research team believes that the main factors affecting the development of the textile and clothing industry in the city are the sharp rise of production costs, exchange rate changes, RMB appreciation, reduction of export tax rebates, restrictions on talent and labor, and excessive tax burden, among which the impact of the international financial crisis is also obvious, This has caused difficulties in the normal operation of the textile enterprises. On the one hand, the international buyers were affected by the financial storm, and the payment for goods was delayed, which slowed the recovery of the enterprise's currency; On the other hand, the national macro-control, the bank to reduce the scale of enterprise loans, the city's general small and medium-sized textile enterprise loans more difficult, directly affecting the normal operation of enterprises. [Meeting challenges] The government should help enterprises out of difficulties The research team believes that how to view the current industrial situation and cope with new challenges is the most important task for Enping people to adhere to the scientific outlook on development, vigorously support enterprises to overcome difficulties and get out of difficulties. For this reason, the research team has issued a "prescription" for the "symptoms" of the city's clothing and textile industry, whether the "medicine" can be removed from the "disease", It also depends on the future implementation effect. ■ Countermeasure 1: Optimize the structure, integrate resources, and expand and develop the industrial chain According to the overall layout of the city's industrial economic corridor, seize the opportunity of industrial restructuring and "double transfer" in Guangdong Province, build a textile industrial park centered on Encheng, accelerate industrial agglomeration, and build a "China textile and clothing industry base". At the same time, it is necessary to improve the "one-stop" production mode of spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, garment making, chain sales and logistics as soon as possible to develop and expand the industrial chain. ■ Countermeasure 2: Encourage independent innovation of enterprises and guide enterprises to seek benefits from innovation Formulate or improve incentive measures, guide and encourage enterprises to increase the R&D and introduction of new products and technologies, encourage enterprises to continuously develop and produce products that are suitable for market demand and have high added value, and improve the bargaining power of products. At the same time, the government will give financial support and rewards to enterprises that have achieved remarkable results in product innovation and technological innovation. ■ Countermeasure 3: Implement preferential policies and overcome difficulties with enterprises In the context of globalization and the global economic crisis, Enping's textile and clothing industry must not be isolated. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce or suspend the collection of administrative fees. At the same time, we will conscientiously implement relevant preferential policies, enhance enterprise confidence and overcome difficulties with enterprises. ■ Countermeasure 4: Establish a service platform to ensure enterprise, government and municipal information channels The exchange service system platform between the municipal government and enterprises, enterprises and enterprises, enterprises and market information must be established. At the same time, play the role of the industry association as a link, let it provide coordination and provide various industry information to the industry, and represent enterprises to solve some international and domestic trade disputes and trade negotiations. ■ Countermeasure 5: Launch training courses to deliver technical force to the industry The government should take the lead in organizing relevant departments and units to organize special short-term skills training courses for rural surplus labor force in combination with key enterprises in various industries, and constantly send skilled workers to enterprises. At the same time, an incentive mechanism should be established to encourage the rural surplus labor force to work locally. ■ Countermeasure 6: Strengthen the internal management of enterprises and consolidate the management foundation The cost of benefit from management is the smallest, and it is also the most effective way for enterprises to overcome difficulties. Enterprises should pay close attention to product quality, vigorously carry out internal energy conservation and consumption reduction, and constantly develop and produce new products. At the same time, enterprises should establish a modern corporate image, attract outstanding talents, and attract national support for textile high-tech and enterprises.
