Vietnam's textile industry raw materials imported from 60% Chinese market, based on the relations between the two countries the Vietnamese government provide thethe textile industry manufacturers some assistance, encourage them to beindependent off China for production.
Vietnam is currently has more than 4000 textile and garment enterprises, annual revenue of US$20 billion, and they provide about 2.5million employment opportunities, the contribution rateto Vietnam GDP is 10%.
Last month, Vietnam has anti Chinese violence, some Chinese textile owner who withdraw from Vietnam to Kampuchea said, the market determines the Vietnam textile raw materials, products preferred China, if Vietnam wantall of a sudden change is not realistic. Compared Chinese mainland market with South Korea, India and other countries, China has a strong supply capacity, multi varieties, relatively low price, fast delivery etc. other advantages. From the Chinese imported textile raw materials prices are cheaper than domestic which is 10% - 15%. Vietnam "Saigoneconomic times"reported in March, in order to improve the proportion of mainland products, TNG Vietnam Trade and investment company in 2012 invested millions of dollars in cotton production. But as the world textile raw materials demand still increase, domestic and imported raw material supply comes to be difficulties, in short term can not be provided adequate supply.
Investment in Vietnam textile industry not only from the China mainland, there are many from Hong Kong and Taiwan, let them to choise other countries or the Vietnam national textile raw materials is difficult. Japan, South Korea, France and other foreign companies who invest in Vietnam will not consider the cost factor. The increase in raw material prices mean higher cost of production, will reduce the advantage of the garment manufacturing industry in Vietnam .
