Vietnam’s Dependence on Imported Materials
Tuesday 04th of September 2007 05:27:47 AM
Even though Vietnam exports a large amount of the textiles it creates, the number of materials it imports to make clothing and other items is far more. “The textile and garment industry accounts for 15 per cent of exports. But the industry’s margins are very small because it imports a vast quantity of raw materials," said Diep Thanh Kiet, deputy chairman of the HCM City’s Knitting, embroidery and Textile Association.Obtaining natural materials such as cotton from China and Taiwan enable those in Vietnam to produce higher quality goods that are sold mostly to those living in the West. “The quality standard demanded by foreign buyers is so high that the manufacturers are forced to import. Even China, a country with a huge supply of raw materials, also imports. The solution lies in the government choosing certain key materials industries to develop. [Setting up] a centre for development of textile and garment, including designing, is very important to boost the growth of the sector," said Keit.
But without the ability to import these materials, many clothing manufacturers would not be able to stay in business because they would lose customers and cannot afford to grow and harvest cotton and other fibres themselves.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
