Latest News: Vietnam's textile dyeing sector needs $15 billion investment.
Even as Vietnam's textile industry seeks to derive the maximum advantage from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), the sector is grappling with low labour productivity and a serious shortage of textile and dyeing materials. According to one estimate, the dyeing sector needs a massive investment of $15 billion.
Le Tien Truong, general director of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex) pointed out that in 2015, Vietnam exported $27.5 billion of garment-textile products but it had to spend $14 billion to import raw materials.
“Thus, Vietnam needs to overcome the problem of input raw materials," Truong said at a seminar on Vietnam's garment industry at Ho Chi Minh City.

Why most Vietnam Textile Factories won’t benefit from TPP Tax Incentives
Sourcing raw materials like cotton or processed material like spun yarn has always been the achilles heel of Vietnam’s garment and textile industry. More than 3/4 of the textile companies in Vietnam need to import raw materials. Why? Because local businesses are short of capital to invest cotton production and yarn spinning. This fact makes them them unlikely to enjoy tax incentives from Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement which is expected to be signed this year. The reason is that in order to qualify for the tax reduction the raw materials must originate in a TPP member county. If a Vietnam garment factory buys fabric from China and China is not a TPP member then not tax reduction. For more info about this Vietnam Garment Industry News click the link.

Vietnam Garment Industry News: Myanmar Worker Disputes in 2015
One of the big problems that impacts to orders from abroad and foreign investment is worker dispute.
Myanmar workers are demanding an extra $28 per month in wages while their minimum wage is about $50 per month.

Most of Chinese projects are focused on energy and they are known as the main contractors in 15 of Vietnam’s 20 thermal power projects.
One of China first biggest projects in Vietnam is $2 billion 1,200MW Vinh Tan 1 thermal power plant. Others are $2.1 billion Mong Duong 2 thermal power plant and 1,245MW Duyen Hai 1 thermal power plant which 85% investment was sourced from China Export- Import Bank. In addition Shanghai Electric Power Generation Group and Dongfang Group also have participated in Quang Ninh 1 vs 2, Haiphong 1 and Vinh Tan 2 thermal power plants.

Vietnam Garment Industry News: Is garment production really leaving out of China?
China is still the biggest garment exporter in the world despite of stricter environmental regulations, higher land and labour costs in this country.
The Chinese annual turnover decreased 11.5% in 2014 but their combined profits increased 6.1%. The total of garment manufacturers in China is 10,916 with 29.6 billion pieces last year, up 1.6%. There are two bullish apparel producers that are big competitors with China now. The first is India. A comparative weak Indian rupee, lower labour and energy costs have made Indian a cheaper market for international apparel sourcing. The second is Bangladesh, which employs 4.5 million in 4,500 factories, is now the world’s second biggest garment exporter, after only China.
Many people think that orders is leaving China because labor cost of China is more expensive than other countries such as India and Bangladesh. However the notion of garment production leaving China is nothing but a myth, Mike Flanagan said. Check out Just Style website to get more information about Vietnam garment industry news.

Vietnam Garment Industry News: India’s First GOTs Conference
India’s first Global Textile Standard (GOTS) international conference was held successfully on 22nd May 2015 in Mumbai, India. It was attended by more than 250 delegates from 12 countries including Brands & Retailers, Buying Agents, Manufacturers of Textiles and Additives (dyes, chemicals, enzymes),Trade Associations, NGOs, Academics and etc.
What is GOTS and why is it important? “The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognized as the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. It defines high-level environmental criteria along the entire organic textiles supply chain and requires compliance with social criteria as well.”
It is important because if you have a t-shirt in hand that is marketed as “organic cotton” then how can you know for sure? You are paying a premium price for organic cotton but what if – in fact – it’s GMO cotton. Would you be upset just by the thought that the seller is tricking you? Do you trust Indian or Chinese suppliers to be good on their word when they tell you that the cotton and all the processing the cotton went through was natural? That is where GOTS comes in. It’s an institution that is supposed to be trust worthy that generates reliable documents that tell us, “Yes, this cotton fabric is organic.”
Do I know any reliable suppliers of organic cotton in Vietnam. No. We turn down inquiries for organic cotton because we have to buy it through agents or from spinners in India or China who we don’t trust. One source that I do trust is in Berlin Germany. His name is Benjamin.

Why China is still the leader?
China is still the industry leader in clothing with 10,916 apparel manufacturers producing 29.6 billion garments in 2014. Why move production to India, Vietnam or Bangladesh?
Shipments from China to US declined 12% in the second quarter of 2015. That is the second declined this year. Salaries of Chinese clothing workers have increased so Chinese textiles and clothing manufacturing is more expensive. It’s true that labor cost is increasing in China but China still has advantages that allow it to be cost competitive. Experts believe that China is consolidating rather than declining. Neither Vietnam nor Bangladesh can match China in terms of it’s robust A to Z supply chain, experienced and vast labor force and perfected manufacturing processes for all types of garments.
So why go to India, Vietnam or Bangladesh? For basics you might be able to find lower prices due to lower labor costs. For non-basics the price will be the same or more expensive than China but you will at least have developed an alternative manufacturing source to spread your risk and keep your existing Chinese manufacturers under pressure to be competitive.

Working Conditions in Vietnam Garment Factories 2015
Are working conditions in Vietnamese garment factories that bad? The International Labour Organization (ILO) is now carrying out inspection campaign to find out.
The ILO campaign will finish this year and inspect 160 SME garment factories in 12 provinces in Vietnam. The goal is to inspect working conditions of about 2.5 Vietnamese workers, improve the knowledge and skills of workers, and educate Vietnam labor inspectors. For more information you can visit the ILO website cited below.
As an insider I’d like to share with you my perspective: working conditions in Vietnamese garment factories are good. The main reason working conditions are good has to do with the collective conscience of the Vietnamese people. Compared to other cultures the Vietnamese people have a high standard to mutual respect. I have been in more than 30 Vietnamese factories and witnessed mutual respect between managers and workers. Unlike India where a cast system exists or unlike China where the mutual respect is low the Vietnamese take care of one another naturally. I have in mind the Muslim way of working in Bangladesh where the mutual respect between factory owner and worker is…. different. Vietnam is not like China, India or Bangladesh. There is an inherent natural high regard for quality of life shared by all. All this being said an industrial environment is no five star hotel. Working hours are long, temperature on the factory floor is hot and the management always demands efficiency. Point is that Vietnamese owners and workers have a lot of self-respect and mutual-respect; you can see it in the working conditions of a factory when you visit. This is Vietnam garment industry news.

Vietnam Garment Industry News: Are Vietnamese owned factories dying?
Vietnamese factory owners are loosing to foreign owned sewing factories; namely Chinese owned. Why?
The article suggests that Vietnamese owned garment exports were only worth 6 billion out of 20 billion USD in 2014. It’s getting harder and harder to compete in pricing (FOB or CMT) with foreign owned sewing factories. 70 to 80% of foreign owned sewing factories in Vietnam are of Chinese origin. They exist under the names of Hong Kong and Taiwan companies. They have advantages in large capital, access to cheap fabric in China and skilled management. Thus they can export garments with lower prices than Vietnamese owned factories. Secondly, foreign owned sewing factories offer slightly higher salaries to attract workers from Vietnamese owned factories – driving up the average labor cost for everyone.
The main advantage that Vietnamese factories have compared to larger foreign owned sewing factories is the willingness to do smaller order quantities – but then it is hard to offer low prices and still be profitable… hence the reason Vietnamese owned sewing factories are dying. In order for Vietnamese owned factories to survive they need to add value in every aspect of the business like better customer service, better pricing, faster delivery times and consistent quality. The good ones are doing just that.This is Vietnam garment industry news on Dien dan doanh nghiep website.
