Canton Fair On the above, many exhibitors textile and garment enterprises to Yangcheng Evening News reporter so expressed. In addition, many enterprises are worried about the rumors that the export tax rebate rate will be reduced.

An important reason why new customers are hard to find is the rapid rise of costs. "Compared with the same period last year, our raw material costs increased by 30%-40%, and profits fell by 20%." A related official of Shandong thousand banyan home textile told reporters. And the responsible person of Guangdong Textile Group also said that the price of some raw materials doubled compared with the same period last year.

"WAL-MART can talk to us about the $6.5 global jeans list. We can't do it at all." This person said, "now the cost of Chinese clothing is catching up with Eastern Europe, and many orders are transferred to Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam."

Garment exporting enterprises are generally not optimistic about the export performance in the second half of the year, and even more worried about the news that the recently rumoured countries will lower the export tax rebate rate.

At present, the export tax rebate rate of China's textiles and clothing is 16%, which is of great significance for textile and garment export enterprises.

Once the tax rebate rate is lowered, the price of products will rise, and the loss of price competitiveness will have a serious impact on China's textile exports.
