Local Hot Spot: Transformation And Upgrading Of Guangxi Textile And Garment Industry And Its Rise

In recent years, Guangxi textile and garment industry has made great progress, the industry has begun to take shape, and the cluster effect has gradually emerged. In 2020, there will be nearly 300 textile, garment, leather and down enterprises above designated scale in the region, with an annual total industrial output value of 22.2 billion yuan. From March 28 to 30, the China Textile Industry Federation and the people's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region jointly hosted the activity of "industries and enterprises helping transformation and upgrading - 2021 China's top 100 textile and garment enterprises" in Nanning, inviting representatives of national and local industry associations, academicians and experts, and industry leading enterprises in China's textile and garment industry to strengthen cooperation in the textile and clothing industry and help Guangxi textile industry Exchange views on the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry.

There are many advantages in developing textile industry

In recent years, the state has supported Guangxi's participation in the construction of the new land sea corridor in the western region, and has successively approved the establishment of a number of national level platforms such as the China (Guangxi) pilot Free Trade Zone, the China ASEAN Information Port, and the Nanning airport economic demonstration zone. Guangxi has ushered in a new round of economic development opportunities. As RCEP is about to be implemented, ASEAN has become China's largest trading partner, and the national "14th five year plan" clearly defines "supporting Guangxi to build an open and cooperative highland for ASEAN", Guangxi, as the only province connected by land and sea with ASEAN, will further fully release its advantages in location, resources, industry and market. "It is hoped that all parties will take this conference as an opportunity to firmly grasp the historic opportunities such as the implementation of RCEP and the establishment of 30-year dialogue relationship between China and ASEAN, actively undertake the transfer of textile and clothing industry in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and the eastern coastal areas, and actively promote the textile and garment economic and trade cooperation facing ASEAN and the Lancang Mekong subregion." Lantian Li, chairman of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said in his speech.

At present, Guangxi is promoting the industrial revitalization for three years, focusing on building nine key industrial clusters including light industry and textile industry. Since the 13th five year plan, a number of textile and garment printing and dyeing industrial parks have been planned, including five national textile and garment industrial bases in Yizhou district and Huanjiang County of Hechi City, Fumian District of Yulin City, mule town of Guiping city of Guigang City, and Gangnan District of Guigang City, China's down town. Cai Lixin, vice chairman of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and executive director of the Investment Promotion Committee of Guangxi, said that since the 13th five year plan, Guangxi has planned 15 textile and garment printing and dyeing industrial parks on the basis of the original five national textile and garment industrial bases, and will focus on promoting three new textile and garment parks in 2021. "Guangxi's textile and garment industry has many advantages due to its special location, rich resources, good industrial foundation, policy support and great development potential." Cai Lixin said.

"Silk reeling industry and leisure clothing industry have always been the advantages and characteristics of Guangxi. The silk and clothing industry in Guangxi has a good foundation, and the industrial park and industrial cluster have begun to take shape, becoming a hot land for industrial agglomeration and a depression for industrial transfer." Cao Tingrui, director of the textile department of the consumer goods department of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said in his speech.

Transformation and upgrading of textile industry

At present, the development peak of textile and clothing industry in coastal areas has passed, and the pace of "going out" of China's textile industry is speeding up. During the 12th Five Year Plan period, there were more than 800 Textile Enterprises above the designated size in the five provinces of central China, which had a good development in the textile industry, while only less than 300 enterprises were added during the 13th Five Year Plan period. According to Cao Tingrui, the high comprehensive cost, foreign trade differences and diversified purchasing strategies of international purchasers are the main reasons for forcing enterprises to "go out". Therefore, it is urgent to promote the transformation and upgrading of textile enterprises.

In the new era, the textile industry is positioned as an advantageous industry of international cooperation and integrated development, which not only runs through the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, but also connects the international and domestic dual circulation. The transformation and upgrading of the textile industry should not only promote the development of industrial clusters and the construction of major cluster projects, but also actively connect with the eastern coastal areas, especially the Great Bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, strive to build a superior industrial chain, implement innovation driven, and increase market expansion.

"Under the new pattern, Guangxi textile and clothing industry is in a good development period." Ye Liang, executive chairman of Anhui Textile Industry Association, said in an interview that Guangxi is located at the juncture of China's southern region and ASEAN region and can well undertake the industrial transfer of the whole Pearl River Delta region. Judging from the economic development of the Pearl River Delta and the bay area and the development of ASEAN integration, Guangxi will be the center of textile industry development in the future Ye Liang reminds us that to do a good job in textile industry, we must first carry out scientific and reasonable planning and layout. At present, Guangxi attaches great importance to this, and hopes that the autonomous region government and various industry associations can link up in the next step.

"In terms of silk, there is no big difference between China and Europe in terms of production, but our biggest weakness is originality and brand." Chen Lu, chairman of Zibo dyehouse Silk Group Co., Ltd., said he hoped that the government could increase publicity and personnel training for the silk city.

"Now the eastward and westward movement of silk fabrics is only half of the success, because after weaving, they still have to be sent out for further processing. If we make up this link, the textile industry chain in Guangxi will be complete." Lin Jinwei, chairman of Shenzhen Tongyixin zhongkong Industrial Co., Ltd., who is also the representative of the contract, believes that printing and dyeing is the chip of clothing, and the introduction of high-tech such as printing and dyeing and digital printing is the top priority. It is understood that digital printing is the last demand end of clothing, all clothing companies are most short of printing pattern. "At present, our company's daily output of digital printing can reach 100000 meters. Now we are ready to transfer to Laibin city and strive to put it into production in July to fill the gap in Guangxi." Lin Jinwei said confidently.

At present, the output of cocoon and mulberry silk accounts for more than 50% and 30% of the national total respectively, and the export of raw silk accounts for 50% of the whole country. Guangxi has become an important production base of silkworm cocoon and silk in China and even in the world. Lin Ping, chairman of Dali silk (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., one of the top ten silk brands, said that at present, Guangxi has accounted for 85% of the raw materials purchased by the enterprise, and the quality of silk has been continuously improved through the transformation of science and technology in recent years. "I have full confidence in the development of silk in Guangxi, and now I am also rubbing my hands. I want to make in-depth investment and strengthen cooperation for Guangxi." According to him, the company is now cooperating with the massfield brand. When consumers buy clothes, they can scan the QR code on the tag to see that the raw materials of the clothes are from Guangxi, which is not only convenient for traceability, but also can promote the silk business card of Guangxi.

The reporter learned that the event was fruitful, and the Guangxi Autonomous Region Government and China Textile Industry Federation signed a memorandum of cooperation to promote the high-quality development of Guangxi's textile and clothing industry. In addition, it has signed three investment promotion representative office agreements and 60 industrial cooperation projects, with a total investment of more than 30 billion yuan, mainly involving weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing, silk fabrics, hardware supporting, professional market, park construction, financial services, school enterprise cooperation and other fields of light industry and textile industry chain.

CCPIT plays an active role

In order to speed up the development of Guangxi's modern industrial system, improve the modernization level of the industrial chain and supply chain, and focus on the introduction of trade associations and their member enterprises, Guangxi has decided to carry out the action of "banks and enterprises assisting in transformation and upgrading" in 2021, and set up 14 investment promotion working classes around Guangxi's key industries. Guangxi Council for the promotion of international trade (CCPIT) is the leading department of the special class on investment promotion of light industry and textile industry. This activity is the first key activity held by the action of "promoting the transformation and upgrading of enterprises" in Guangxi.

Since last year, Guangxi Council for the promotion of international trade (CCPIT) has repeatedly gone to Guangxi and Dawan district to understand and write a number of research reports. In March this year, it went to Dawan district and Yangtze River Delta region to conduct in-depth and detailed investigation on the advanced models and practices of the local textile and garment industry, so as to understand the new situation of the development of the national textile and clothing industry and the new trend of industrial transfer. At the same time, we have constantly strengthened the communication and cooperation with China Textile Industry Federation, and obtained the strong support of China Textile Federation to jointly do the top-level design for the event.

In the process of preparation, Guangxi Council for the promotion of international trade (CCPIT) gave full play to the advantages of channel resources, and won the attendance of senior executives of three world top 500 enterprises, five Chinese top 500 enterprises, and more than 30 top 100 and well-known enterprises in the industry, and promoted a number of cooperation projects. At the same time, Guangxi Council for the promotion of international trade, together with the departments of the special work class and the cooperation of districts and cities, strictly implemented the requirements of epidemic prevention policies, carefully organized meetings and visits, and conscientiously did a good job in guest reception services, so as to ensure that enterprises and guests come and return satisfied.
