Vietnam's textile-garment export growth cools

Vietnam's textile-garment exports still increased in the first first eight months of this year but at a slower pace than in the same period last year.

Vietnam shipped abroad US$18.7 billion worth of textile-garment products in the January-August period, up 4.4% year-on-year, according to the Vietnam Cotton and Spinning Association (VCOSA).

VCOSA vice chairman Nguyen Hong Giang said the growth slowed compared to that in previous years and below expectations due to a lack of orders and falling demand on global markets.

If the tough situation continues, it will be hard for the sector to earn US$29 billion in revenue this year, which is even lower the target of US$31 billion set earlier this year, Giang said at a news briefing on Tuesday to introduce the 16th Vietnam International Textile and Garment Industry Exhibition (VTG 2016) slated to take place in November.

The decrease in export orders resulted from mounting competition from rivals including China, India, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. In addition, Cambodia and Myanmar enjoy tax incentives when selling textile-garment products to the European Union (EU), making their products even more competitive.

越南纺织品服装出口增长变缓

越南纺织品服装出口在今年前八个月仍然有所增加,但比去年同期有所放缓。

根据越南棉花纺纱厂协会（VCOSA），在1-8月期间，越南纺织品服装出口额约为187亿美元，同比增长4.4%。

VCOSA副主席Nguyen Hong Giang说，相比前几年增长放缓低于预期是由于订单缺乏以及全球市场需求下降。

如果继续维持艰难的局面,该行业将很难获得290亿美元的收入,这更低于年初设定的310亿美元的目标, Giang在周二介绍即将于11月份举行的第16届越南国际纺织和服装行业展览(VTG 2016)的新闻发布会上说。

出口订单的减少主要由于越来越多的竞争对手包括中国、印度、柬埔寨、孟加拉国、缅甸和斯里兰卡出现。此外,柬埔寨和缅甸销售纺织服装产品欧盟(EU)时享受税收优惠,使他们的产品更加有竞争力。
