have suggested

The Department of Commerce Foreign Trade and above have suggested that the face of high cotton prices in other countries, low-cost competition, the textile and garment enterprises in Shandong Province should try to “go out”, like the successful acquisition of a Japanese clothing giant reputation Co., Ltd. Shandong Ruyi Group, this year, with its sales channels and brand into the Japanese market.

Our mall

But if the price is too low, then both can not guarantee profitability, but also reduces the image of the brand. Therefore, the majority of products take the “high premium, multi-discount” approach. Our mall of the most common examples such as “buy a hundred, by $ 5.0″, the second half price “promotions.

In fact, as long as consumers are careful enough and carefully, every shopping down the amount of actual expenditures in fact there is not much gap between consumption abroad and, because such promotions is “about equal to playing seven to% off all goods. As for the other promotional tools, not here enumerate.

Many people

However, the psychology of people magnified the value of luxury goods. Many people have such thoughts in the purchase of goods, high prices to ensure high quality and high standards.

A very simple example of the luxury brand of any one commodity is lower than the price of 1000 yuan to sell, then many people may think that imitation goods; but when the same goods sold million or above the high price of , no one would doubt its authenticity. Therefore, this phenomenon has created the prices of these commodities to rise, not fall fact.

To sum up, commodity prices down space is limited, the relatively broad rise in the space makes luxury goods in China than Europe and the United States your are difficult. Manufacturers in terms of cost and pricing decisions on the opaque fare increase operational space become very large.

operating hours

It is said that the EU are in the pipeline system through a “Country of Origin Labeling” motion. The EU’s “Country of Origin Labeling system for Chinese textile enterprises impact or greater.

According to reports, the so-called “Country of Origin Labeling” existence of trade barriers is suspected, once the resolution is formally adopted, will continue to squeeze the Chinese textile enterprises profits, increasing the difficulty of Chinese textile exports to Europe. The EU market is the major regions of the Chinese textile and garment export, if the EU to enforce the textile and garment origin identification will increase the cost of production of textile and garment manufacturers to extend the operating hours in the port of the importing country may also lead to the country of origin labeling is missing or non-standard export of textile and apparel products, and foreign communications even be returned.

domestic industry

Observers here believe that the EU-China trade imbalance in Europe has been disturbed. In addition to a variety of protectionist measures, the EU has successfully “won” South Korea, are also being FTA negotiations with ASEAN, the main reason also lies in the ASEAN and South Korea’s export products and the “Made in China” cross-cutting can be used as a substitute for “Made in China”, which will help to correct the imbalance of China-EU trade.

Chen Minghui India’s export structure with China is not the same, the difference was not too many cross at India-based outsourcing industry, China’s manufacturing-based, so India and the European Union Free Trade Area of ​​the establishment of China’s foreign trade not have much impact, of course, homogeneous industry in India will be affected to some extent. For India, to expand exports, India’s services sector to the European market in the long run is also conducive to the competitiveness of the domestic industry in India.

neighboring countries

EU seems to have been committed to China’s neighboring countries to establish free trade zone, in its formal signing of a free trade agreement with South Korea on October 6, 2010, a few days ago to establish the intention of the EU India FTA with India. India and the EU in the Eleventh European Union – India Summit to reach agreement, both sides said that the bilateral free trade agreements will be signed during the year 2011.

The EU is India’s largest trading partner, 18.7% of India’s exports to the EU, the bilateral trade volume in 2009 up to 69 billion euros. The EU is also India’s largest source of investment, since the EU investment in India, 10-year cumulative 20 billion euros.

It is reported that nearly six years to the U.S. dollar against Bangladesh taka exchange rate of $ 1 convertible 68 taka to 70 taka. However, in mid-2011, the taka devaluation. Week, the dollar exchange rate of taka $ 1 convertible approximately 85 taka. It is understood, Bangladesh needs from other countries import production of fabrics and clothing raw materials (mainly cotton), taka devaluation of the growth of the apparel manufacturers production costs.

The currency devaluation is good news for exporters, but Bangladesh is a country mainly imports, currency devaluation it is facing severe challenges. If Bangladesh can not be exchange rate control stability, domestic poverty will become more serious. In addition, the domestic net exports is not enough to offset the difference between the import trade.
