The Survival Of Small And Medium-Sized Manufacturers In Thailand Clothing Industry Is Facing Many Problems.

< /p >

< p > over the past 3 years, major changes have taken place in the garment industry of < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Thailand < /a >, including the problems of increasing daily wages and shortage of labour, and many garment factories are moving their factories to neighboring countries to survive.

< /p >

< p > from the recent reports, Wang Luo, vice president of the Thailand garment industry association and vice president of Thailand maritime cargo export chamber, has made the following views on the future survival and development of Thailand's clothing industry.

< /p >

< p > < strong > small and medium-sized garment manufacturers basically can not survive < /strong > < /p >

< p > at present, the small and medium-sized garment factories in Thailand are basically unable to survive, and the small factories that can supply orders to shopping malls are able to maintain.

After the increase in labor to 300 baht, the large garment factories moved their factories to neighboring countries. Up to now, 22 garment manufacturers have invested 30 factories in ASEAN neighboring countries, and the next thing to be concerned about is the foreign companies' production orders from which countries they will first consider the benefits they get.

< /p >

< p > the main export market of garments is 32% in the United States, 28% in the European Union and 13% in Japan, and some other countries.

The US led negotiations on the p Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP) have not made much progress, because the government believes that joining the agreement will lose interest, but the industry thinks it can benefit, for example, the service industry does not agree, because TPP has written up to 95% of the service products market and needs to be opened to member countries. There are 27 negotiations agreements, including the deeper opening of labor services, employment policies and society, while the remaining 11 member states also show no support for it. It is estimated that the negotiations will be completed after 3 years' delay.

< /p >

In the EU market, Thailand will be disqualified from the EU's preferential treatment tariff (GSP) by 20% from January 1, 2015. The original intention to promote negotiations between the EU and the Thailand free trade area agreement can be obtained after the GSP is abolished. Thailand's export products to the EU can receive zero tariff or more than zero tariff. However, there is no functional cabinet at present. The final negotiations in April did not reach any decision. Whether the new round of negotiations in the next 3 months will continue to be carried out has not been known yet, so that the EU and Thailand free trade agreements must not be implemented in 2015.

< /p >

< p > < strong > in Vietnam, the investment potential of setting up garments is less than /strong > /p >

< p > Vietnam has the greatest investment potential for the garment industry, because the agreement between Vietnam and the EU free trade area is expected to be signed in July 2014, and the p Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP) between Vietnam and the United States is estimated to take 3 years to negotiate. Before that, export products such as Vietnam and the United States can be successfully signed to the EU market, and the factories invested in Vietnam can produce more to supply the US market, and will produce factories in Laos, Kampuchea and Burma to supply the EU market.

< /p >

< p > in the next 3 years, negotiations on the free trade area agreement between Thailand and the EU are expected to be completed. Thailand's factories will benefit from exporting more products to the EU. China will reduce exports and increase domestic consumption in the future due to the implementation of the economic restructuring policy, and Thailand can also increase exports to China.

Japan has also increased its purchases of products from Thailand, and exports to Japan have grown by 10%. At the same time, Japan will also understand the countries where Thailand's export products are located and understand the favorable policies of various countries' exports so as to obtain cheaper products.

< /p >

< p > Malaysia is also a member of the TPP agreement, but there is still a legal conflict that needs to be adjusted, while Indonesia has not joined TPP, so labor-intensive industries mainly enter Vietnam, or Laos, Kampuchea, Bangladesh and Burma invest to make use of the cheap labor force in those countries.

< /p >

Investment in Vietnam is still in the economic development. However, it is estimated that in the next 2 years, the level of labor remuneration will rise to a level comparable to that of Thailand. At the same time, there is also a demand for raw materials in the upstream industry to meet only about 20% of the demand. This is also why some Thailand operators are not interested in investing in Vietnam. These operators think that the export of finished raw materials to Vietnam is to be assembled and processed into final products, and Vietnam is used as the place of production. However, in fact, it is not allowed to do so according to the TPP agreement, because Thailand has not yet joined the TPP agreement.

< p > < strong > ASEAN border trade < a href= > //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_f.asp > market > /a > demand > /strong > /p >

< p > if Thailand's border trade with neighboring countries reaches 2 trillion baht, the trade mode must be adjusted. Now, the border trade of Thailand's border trade market in the narrow and long belt of Thailand is carried out by the middle merchants. These foreign businessmen do not have a thorough understanding of Thailand products, and if they can get business with direct merchants, they will have more durable trade pactions. Producers and merchants need to have competitive advantages in product prices and quality, and strengthen the development of markets to important cities in neighboring countries.

The government departments, such as the Commerce Bureau of Frontier government, need to formulate corresponding product development plans to meet the needs of trade in the border trade market, and strive to solve the existing obstacles in border trade, improve the payment system and strengthen the auxiliary development of infrastructure in neighbouring countries, so as to support cross-border trade pactions more smoothly.

< /p >

< p > < strong > the political problems have been delayed for a long time. The influence is greater than /strong > /p >

< p > domestic operators only hope that the political situation will be over as soon as possible, no matter what way they want to have an end.

In my opinion, it is difficult to solve the political problems this year. Many civil society organizations have declared that they do not participate in politics. Before the civil society organizations tried to act as intermediaries, they hoped that the two sides could sit down and negotiate, but they did not get the answers. It is difficult for them to find mediation intermediaries and do not know how to solve them.

＜p＞　　今年泰国制衣工业商会就国内制衣工业的扶持方案进行了探讨，制定了2014至2016年泰国制衣业扶持方案蓝图，分为6个方面：一是加强开发产品和推动经营商重视对产品的开发，设立产品开发中心，从商业部争取约1000万铢的经费进行运作;二是提高生产效率，改进生产流程，减少损耗和降低成本，提高生产管理，努力在工业内形成综合功率完善的机制，发展经营商多样化生产技能，和努力减少生产对环境的影响;三是努力创立产品品牌和零售品牌，目前泰国制衣工业高达90%订单是贴牌生产加工，自有品牌仅10%，因为在零售商场寄售的流程中存在问题，自有品牌经营商需要自行承担程式库存和被寄售商场收取较不合理的高额进场费用;四是努力建成具有世界水平的原料釆购体系，将上中下游产业链环节有机地联合起来，使得原料供应系统化;五是发展产品贸易和适

In response to the opening of the international market, the user data library of the Thailand product target market and the signing of the free trade zone agreement with foreign negotiations are strengthened; and six is the expansion of the production base for foreign countries.

If the garment industry in Thailand can achieve the above development steps, the trade in garment products in Thailand is bound to increase.
