The Garment Industry Is In A Recession, And The Garment Factories Are Unable To Make Ends Meet. The Annual Income Of The Employees Is Less Than 5 Thousand.

In a garment processing factory in Chengdong town of Haifeng County, the uncle sitting in the doorway room sat in the chair and looked out of the window. For a reporter's visit, he demanded a strict request from the factory. He asked lazily for a visitor and asked the visitor to enter the factory.

Many factories are in a semi shutdown state.

July was the peak season of Haifeng County garment factory in the past year. From January to July, the machine turned around and the workers rushed to work day and night, and the owners of the factory kept receiving customers' reminder to inquiries about the completion of the goods.

But in July of this year, many garment factories in Haifeng started work during the day and stopped at night.

"Only 30 thousand pieces have been made so far this year.

"

In Mr. Xu's clothing factory, the workers are on vacation. He plays the game on the computer with his hands in his hands.

He seems somewhat helpless about the factory.

He said that in addition to a small number of factories that can still maintain the basic operation, most manufacturers are not comfortable this year.

However, compared with other garment factories, Mr. Xu thinks he is OK. Although he has done some stoppage, he can still receive some orders at the same time, and many factories are still half down this year, especially in recent years.

Many small factories in the processing industry are closed because they can not sustain them.

Reporters in Haifeng county fair town to see, a house on the side of the road.

The processing factory hung a factory pfer sign at the gate.

Mr. Cai, who ran the garment processing plant for many years, had difficulty in pferring the factory because of the sharp reduction in orders in 2015.

According to Mr. Cai, after taking over his boss for several months, the factory has not received orders this year.

Mr. Cai said that the clothing industry he knew was not very well this year, and his family had been in Haifeng.

It is the factory that has the most goods and the workers are afraid of it.

"The price of clothing equipment is very bad. If a sewing machine is bought for a few days and sold again, the price will drop by half."

Mr. Cai said that a friend of his had just closed the garment processing factory which had been in operation for many years. The original investment of about two million yuan was only twenty yuan.

It is understood that Haifeng's clothing products basically take Guangzhou as the marketing center, and sell to all major cities in the country and sell to Russia, the Middle East and other countries and regions through the border trade. The proportion of single products accounts for a large proportion. In recent years, the quantity of single orders has been greatly reduced. Besides the rising cost of domestic raw materials and the weakening of labor cost advantages, there are also some low-end orders moving to Southeast Asian countries. These are the reasons for the reduction of external orders.

Due to the overall downturn in the clothing market in recent years, Haifeng's own brands have also adjusted their business models, reducing sales outlets, reducing the size of factories, and outsourcing workshops, so as to minimize losses.

Mr. Xu told reporters that clothing sales are getting worse and worse. Some of his old customers think that they can not grasp the current market situation and dare not place orders easily.

As a processing plant, in the absence of orders, it can only temporarily suspend work to see whether the next situation has improved.

Workers are hard to find jobs.

If there is no order, the factory will not start. If the factory does not start, the workers will be unemployed.

Miss Yip, who lives in a two ring road in a sea town, told reporters that this year, although her factory has told workers to go to work, but the volume is too little, half a year, her total income of less than 3000 yuan.

Reporters learned that, including the sea town and fair town garment factory workers, new year's income to 2000 yuan to 3000 yuan a few people, and even many workers have not yet been open to work.

"The factory has no goods to do, so we can only wait."

Mr. Chen is a native and fair man. He graduated from junior high school and started working in a garment factory when he was a teenager. Now he is more than 40 years old. He says he doesn't know how to do other jobs.

This has been a downward trend, and this year's situation is even worse.

Mr. Chen's factory is also a decades old factory. Although the factory is not very large, it has been very stable. Many of the workers in the factory are old workers. This year's business has caught you off guard.

Mr. Chen said that the goods in the factory were not enough. He could only do odd jobs in the store of his relatives. If he could no longer work, he could only find a job again.

Compared with Mr. Chen, Mr Tsang, who moved to Haicheng's new home just last year, was more upset.

Mr. Tsang bought a house in Haicheng last year, and the down payment and decoration have already emptied his savings.

Originally thought of two couples are working in the clothing factory, the average monthly income of about ten thousand yuan, the cost of living and pay mortgage every month is no problem.

I didn't think of this year

The situation is very bad. His wife's factory is closed, and the factory where he works is in a semi shutdown state.

In the past, the family did not fight western families, but the skilled workers were not afraid of finding jobs. But most factories were no longer recruiting people this year. They had to pay for their housing and find other jobs.

Mr. Tsang said he had borrowed thousands of dollars from his friends last month. If he goes on like this, he will only consider selling the house in Haicheng and returning home to reduce expenses.

Because

The decline in production has not only led to difficult employment for cutting workers and headworkers, but with the closure of some factories, the employment of boilers and other workers has also been difficult.

From the recruitment of workers in previous years to the lack of work nowadays, many garment factories fell from the clouds to the ground.

In previous years, factories were supposed to recruit workers, not only to seek trustees but also to give people tea money.

At that time, after the Spring Festival, many workers raised their money on the shelves, and the boss came up with various ways to recruit workers: buying money, buying workers, carrying gifts, calling, attacking, beating cards, and raising wages.

Many factories calculate wages for the skilled workers in some important processes.

At the end of last year, some manufacturers were unable to complete the annual package for their employees. In order to avoid paying the employees' bottom salaries, they stopped working in November, and said that they did not pay 12 months for the employees, so they did not pay the bottom of the package according to the number of packages they had set before.

Improving the added value of products is the way out.

"In recent years, Haifeng

The loss is very serious, mainly because our price has no advantage. "

A garment factory manager told reporters that the most important customer of the factory was originally in Shanghai, where it started processing technology in Haifeng more than ten years ago, and trained local workers. After mature, they abandoned Shanghai's factories and gave orders to Haifeng's factories.

The same situation happened two years ago, but this time the order was withdrawn from the Haifeng plant and handed over to Kampuchea.

The manager said that in order to terminate the cooperative relationship, the customer reduced the processing cost, and the processing cost of a pair of trousers dropped from 15 yuan to 10 yuan.

In fact, Haifeng County

Factory is not a sudden reduction in orders this year, as early as a few years ago, there were insiders suggested that Haifeng's clothing industry independent brand competitiveness is not strong, in the middle and low grade.

OEM is the main product, brand innovation is not strong, and product homogeneity is serious.

Small enterprises are not sophisticated enough, but large enterprises are not big enough, and they are not strong enough. The cooperation between enterprises is not close enough, and lack of internal vitality of industrial competition.

"If you can't create your own brand name, you can't increase the added value of clothing products, so the clothing industry in Haifeng will always be controlled by others."

One insider also believes that

Manufacturing industry

The market for finished goods and products depends on the outside world, fails to create a large market for wholesale sales of domestic and foreign customers, nor does the raw material supply market.

Industry downturn, low profits, overcapacity and unsustainable enterprises are the process of industry reshuffle and self elimination. Survival of the fittest is the law of development.

Clothing practitioners believe that

Faced with the current situation, it is difficult to rely solely on enterprises to save themselves. It is hoped that the government will attach importance to the current situation, take tax relief and increase support policies and build supporting industries, so as to reverse the declining trend of the garment industry.
