What is the reason why Sichuan's export garments have dropped by more than 60%? The Secretary General of the Chengdu Clothing Industry Association Zheng Wanxun told reporters that the rise of raw materials and the difficulty of recruiting workers were the main reasons for the sharp decline in Sichuan's clothing exports.

Recruitment difficulties

"I am now making a monthly salary of 3000 yuan, and I can not get a garment processing engineer." yesterday, Miss LAN, a fashion design studio in Chengdu, told reporters that Chengdu garment workers were too hard to recruit and had been recruited for several months.

Reporters learned that Miss LAN is a graduate student from Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology. After graduation, he has been preparing to open a wedding design studio in Chengdu. However, the studio has not been able to function properly because it has not recruited workers.

"The clothing industry is a labor-intensive industry, the technical requirements for the processing engineer are relatively high, and the work is very hard. Compared with other industries, the income is also low. Now the employment direction is very wide, and many people are unwilling to choose to do this business."

Zheng secretary general told reporters the reasons for recruitment difficulties.

Raw material rise

In an interview yesterday, reporters learned that it was not only recruitment that had no effect on the export of Sichuan's clothing trade, but also a major factor in the sharp decline in Sichuan's clothing exports.

Secretary General Zheng Wanxun said that domestic raw materials such as cotton, cotton and cotton yarn have risen, but the price of foreign orders to enterprises has not been raised. Many enterprises have become more and more difficult to run after the cost increases, or even stop work.

"We can only reduce the production cost as much as possible, overcome the rising price of raw materials, and make the quality of clothes in place."

Chengdu, a person in charge of foreign trade clothing enterprises who did not want to be named, said.

"The clothing enterprises in Sichuan are not inferior to the coastal industry in terms of technology, equipment and talent." the Secretary General of zhengwan pointed out that managers of garment enterprises in Sichuan should charge at any time, learn the coastal propaganda way, and launch the Sichuan clothing enterprises.
