Henan Clothing Industry Highlights Regional Advantages And Shows That Garment Industry Is More Likely.

Henan garment industry has made great contributions in meeting the needs of the people, booming the domestic market, arranging labor employment, promoting related industries, promoting the construction of urbanization, paying taxes and earning foreign exchange through exports, and has become a new bright spot for economic growth in Henan province.



Henan has been the cradle of the Chinese hinterland and the Chinese nation since ancient times, rich in resources and prosperous in population. It is also a heavy textile land in China in history, and its industrial advantages always exist.


At the beginning of the founding of new China, the Ministry of textile industry of the people's Republic of China put forward the plan for the development of the national textile industry in the "15" period, and identified Zhengzhou as one of the six major textile bases in the country. Henan actively adopted the policies of "weaving, weaving, processing, ordering, exchanging cotton, buying and selling exclusively" and "issuing loans and distributing raw cotton" and so on. It strongly supported the textile and garment industry in Henan, so that the production could be restored and developed rapidly. From 1953 to 1957, 5 large and medium-sized state-owned cotton textile enterprises were built in Henan, with a total scale of about 400 thousand spindles.


With the pace of reform and opening up, Henan's textile and garment industry has risen rapidly, showing a thriving scene. The textile and garment industry has become a mirror of the development of the times, especially the clothing industry, reflecting the economic and cultural level of a city and even the whole country.


In 1978, the output value of garments in Henan province was only 2 billion yuan, and the output was about 29 million 830 thousand pieces. As of 2018, the output value of Henan garment enterprises had reached 300 billion yuan, and the output reached 3 billion 200 million pieces, 150 times and 107 times respectively in 1978.


In the past 40 years, the garment industry in Henan has gone out of the development path of double upgrading of quality and efficiency: it is committed to increasing investment in technological transformation, taking the connotative expanded production line, implementing the strategy of clustering and collectivization, steadily increasing scale efficiency, intensifying the reform efforts, actively transforming the operation mechanism of enterprises, giving full play to the role of market mechanism, eliminating backward enterprises, implementing the strategy of developing science and technology, improving the contribution rate of technology, and making the garment industry glow with new vitality, and let the society see more possibilities for Henan's clothing industry.


Since the "12th Five-Year", the garment industry in Henan has ushered in the peak period of development. It has actively undertaken the transfer of garment productivity in the eastern coastal areas. The output value of garment industry in Henan has jumped from thirteenth in the country to sixth in the whole country, and has become a major province of clothing production in China. Today, there are about 1.2 garment production and processing enterprises in Henan, with an annual output of about 3000000000 kinds of garments, 11 well-known Chinese trademarks and 90 famous Henan trademarks. On the industrial cluster, Zhengzhou, Xiping, Xinyang, Hebi, Luoyang and other special garment parks and special clothing towns have begun to take shape, and have become the national garment market centers and important production and processing bases in the whole country.


In addition, since 2011, the garment industry in Henan has combined the characteristics of the industry and the historical position of Henan's economy and society to create a "clever daughter-in-law project". Today, the development of the "clever daughter-in-law project" has been developing rapidly, and more than 6800 "skillful wives" satellite factories have been built in the whole province. The 700 thousand left behind people have successfully integrated and trained the army of the garment industry, driving nearly 200 thousand poor families out of poverty, creating an output value of 30 billion yuan, and building a high-quality production capacity of 150 billion yuan / year.


At present, Henan has become one of the fastest growing provinces in the apparel economy. Clothing fixed asset investment also showed an increasing trend every year. Henan garment industry has made great contributions in meeting the needs of the people, booming the domestic market, arranging labor employment, promoting related industries, promoting urbanization, paying taxes and earning foreign exchange through exports. It has become a new economic growth highlight in Henan province.


Henan clothing is in the period of opportunity for development. Its advantages are: on the one hand, Henan garment industry has larger international and domestic market space; on the other hand, the eastern coastal textile and garment industry is shifting to the Midwest. In addition, Henan itself has comparative advantages in undertaking industrial transfer, such as human resources advantages, industrial base advantages, and market driven advantages. In the future, we believe that Henan's textile and garment industry will have a bigger development.



Since the founding of new China, the position of China's textile and garment industry as a pillar industry and people's livelihood industry has never wavered since the founding of new China. In the early days of reform and opening up, the eastern coastal area has become a leader in the economic development of the whole country under the call of "let some people get rich first". Among them, the garment industry is indispensable. Now, at the 70th anniversary time of the founding of new China, the world is facing a great change in the past century. So is the garment industry. With the gradual deepening of industrial transfer and the continuous adjustment of the industrial structure, Henan will become the "bright star" of China's garment industry.


Rising in the new century and developing garment industry at a high starting point


The rise of tomorrow star should be discussed from the development context of Henan's clothing industry. "Nowadays, the Henan apparel industry association has five professional departments, namely, the office of the clever daughter-in-law, the office of the home improvement project, the office of quality improvement engineering, the office of the emerging market development project and the industrial marriage engineering office. The five offices have different time of establishment, but they are closely related to the development demands of Henan's apparel industry at all stages. Li Gang, President of Henan garment industry association, told reporters.


Looking at the development of clothing industry in Henan, as a "rising star", the real stage of history is after 2000. At the beginning of this century, the clothing industry in Henan mostly existed in the form of "workshop". Single person or "small running water" was the main form of production. At that time, the garment industry in the coastal area had already entered the efficient pipeline stage of benchmarking international.


Aware of the gap, since 2004, Li Gang has led more than 80 Henan clothing bosses in two batches each year to visit nine coastal enterprises such as nine shepherd kings, seven wolf wolves, and powerful bosses. "Only when we have seen modern production, can Henan's clothing enterprises not be small and prosperous." "Changing ideas and long knowledge" has become the first step in the awakening of Henan's garment industry. It also laid the ideological foundation for the large-scale and industrial development of Henan's clothing in the future.


A stable environment is needed for any industry to develop healthfully. When Henan clothing enterprises begin to seek greater development, the problem of land use is imminent. "At that time, clothing enterprises were renting houses and building factories." moving in one year and moving three years in two years "is the norm, which seriously affects production. Li Gang recalled that at that time, the Henan society of clothing began to rush for "taking the land", which is the main reason for the association to form a home office in the future.


In 2006, with the support of the Zhengzhou municipal Party committee and municipal government, the first garment industrial park in Henan was completed outside the Western Fourth Ring Road of Zhengzhou. Now, the production base of famous brand trousers brands such as M·SUYA and Ya Li has been gathered here. Once the industrial park was completed, its advantages of attracting employment, low pollution and high return were gradually highlighted, attracting the extensive attention of governments at all levels in Henan. Subsequently, under the vigorous promotion of the Henan Garment Association's engineering office, the garment industrial parks in Zhengzhou, Xiping, Xinyang, Xingyang and other places have been successively landing, vigorously boosting the local economic development, and even becoming pillar industries in some areas in just a few years.


Drawing on the experience and lessons of the development of the coastal garment industry, Henan garment industry has not forgotten to build its brand while improving its productivity. At the same time, the name of Henan women's trousers began to grow louder.


"In 2006, we put forward the slogan" Zhengzhou women's trousers are good, Zhengzhou women's trousers are more, Zhengzhou's trousers are the most fashionable. "The association adopted the twelve word policy of" stir up industry, tree brand, create environment and win policy ", so that Zhengzhou pants can be called nationwide. Li Gang said that the Henan Garment Association Quality Improvement Engineering Office was established and gradually entered the right track.


Henan's garment industry is facing great opportunities to undertake industrial transfer.


At that time, the garment industry in Henan, with women's trousers as the pioneer, focused on expanding the scale and establishing public praise, laying a good foundation for the ensuing "hundred years' opportunities".


Opportunities always favor those who are well prepared. In twenty-first Century, with the development of China's economy and the rapid improvement of people's living standard in coastal areas, the problem of "hard employment and expensive employment" was first placed on the desk of the boss of clothing enterprises. China's clothing industry began to shift from "population follows production" to "production follows the population" and industrial transfer is imperative.


In 2009, the "China Garment Industry Transfer Conference" was held in Xingyang, Henan. "Henan's economic development and garment industry" is the historical inevitability. According to Li Gang analysis, for the coastal garment industry, Henan, as the largest province in China, is the biggest attraction of the large and stable labor force. At the same time, the government's policy support and industrial subsidies are also very favorable. For Henan, the clothing industry is a high-quality industry with strong kinetic energy, absorbing more jobs, no pollution, no smoking, rich finance, rich people and tax protection, and its characteristics of easy start, flexible production and quick return. It fully accords with the development goal of the Henan government to realize "industry poverty alleviation" and "Rural Revitalization". Li Gang briefly summarized the new definition of the clothing industry: the green labor intensive advanced manufacturing industry.


Since then, the garment industry in Henan has mainly undertaken the industrial transfer in the Yangtze River Delta region, and has achieved a comprehensive improvement in quality and quantity. The Henan Garment Association Industrial marriage engineering office was established. Its main task is to establish close ties with the industrial clusters in the coastal areas and form the complementarity of industry, technology and talents.


In the process of undertaking industrial transfer, an unexpected situation occurred, that is, the shortage of labor force. "This problem is unexpected. As a populous province, the lack of human resources is unreasonable." With this doubt, Li Gang began to go deep into the villages and towns.


After analyzing the population structure of Henan, Li Gang found that the proportion of migrant workers in Henan was very large, resulting in a large number of women staying home. They were unemployed at home, without social status and without steady income, and became "three no" people. Therefore, "lack of staff in cities and towns and idlers in rural areas" has become a structural contradiction of Henan's long-standing labor force, and has also become a major social unrest factor.


Henan garment is responsible for promoting social development through industrial development.


How to mobilize rural surplus labor force and mobilize left behind women into production has become another problem facing Henan's clothing industry. In 2011, Li Gang first proposed the "clever daughter-in-law project". The office of the clever daughter-in-law project was established and launched in the province in 2014.


The clever daughter-in-law project is composed of about 10 people, forming a small assembly line. The majority of the members are left behind women. They are skilled in needlework, and many of them have worked in field garment enterprises. After marriage, they return to their families.


Clever daughter-in-law works will move the workshop to the village head, undertake the order of nearby clothing enterprise. According to Li Gang analysis, the modern garment production process can be automated before and after, but only the intermediate sewing process must be artificially intervened. Therefore, clothing enterprises can put the front and rear ends in the company and package the sewing process to the ingenious daughter-in-law project, thus solving the labor shortage problem.


According to incomplete statistics, in recent years, 1 million 300 thousand people in Henan have returned home to start their own businesses, and 6 million left behind young and middle-aged women will be the "labor rich" labor force that is urgently needed for economic development. "Clever daughter-in-law project is a task that Henan needs to pay much attention to at this stage and in the next 10 years." Li Gang said. Today, the clever daughter-in-law project has been developing in full swing. According to statistics, by the end of 2018, there were 6800 skillful daughter-in-law factories in the whole province, and 158 counties and counties had the project of skillful daughter-in-law, and hundreds of thousands of people were rehoused.


Looking at the clever daughter-in-law project from the perspective of development, it not only helps the development of the industry, solves the fundamental problem of undertaking industrial transfer, but also contributes to maintaining social harmony and stability. "Productive labor can change a person's habits and values. From the beginning of employment, millions of left behind women will be more actively integrated into modern and industrialized life. As a result, they will have an impact on the social ideology of Henan as a whole and promote the healthy and stable development of Henan province. Li Gang looked forward.


The realization of the trillions of industrial scale is the future development goal of Henan's clothing industry. The concrete work of the five major departments, such as clever daughter-in-law project, home improvement project, quality improvement project, emerging market expansion project and industrial marriage project, is the main path to achieve this ambitious goal. Henan's clothing industry is already on the way.


What is the concept of realizing trillions of industries? It means that more than 3 million of the industrial workers in Henan are employed in this industry, and 3 million families live around the industry. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people do not have to leave their homes to work. Millions of children will no longer stay behind, and the elderly will no longer be empty nesters. Li Gangru said, "to build trillions of clothing industry is our historical mission."
