When the COVID-19 epidemic broke out in Bac Ninh and Bac Giang in 2021, Dap Cau Garment Company was forced to close its production factory for nearly 2 months , once faced the risk of not being able to complete the planned plan. However, after the resumption of production, revenue increased rapidly, not only maintaining profits but also growing strongly.
Xing’an Garment Co., Ltd. (Hugaco), which has more than 10 membership systems, encountered unfavorable production conditions in the first four months of 2021, and the unit price of orders fell. , processing prices dropped by 20-40%, logistics costs increased sharply, and the U.S. dollar depreciated by 3% against the Vietnamese Dong, resulting in Hugaco’s revenue decreasing by 15 billion VND (approximately US$650,000). After overcoming the difficulties, Hugaco’s operating income in 2021 reached VND708.7 billion (approximately US$30.69 million), completing 122% of the target; pre-tax profit reached VND84.1 billion (approximately US$3.64 million), equivalent to 117% of the target. Based on this operating results and market assessment, Hugoco has set the goal of total revenue of 750 billion VND (approximately US$32.48 million) and pre-tax profit of VND80 billion (approximately US$3.46 million) in 2022.
However, the challenges are not over yet, and we still have to face the impact of the new crown epidemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Some Southeast Asian countries have also given priority to the development of textile and clothing. Therefore, this industry will still become a major factor in the economic development of various countries. The focus of competition. However, one of the advantages of Vietnam’s textile industry is that the country has signed and implemented a series of free trade agreements, which has increased the market share of enterprises in major markets such as Europe, Japan, and the United Kingdom, and at the same time opened up access to the markets of Russia, Australia, South Korea, and China. ‘s door.
