The third phase of the 104th Canton Fair kicked off on the 2nd at the Pazhou Complex in Guangzhou. This is also the first time that the Canton Fair has held the third phase in its 100th history. Among them, the export situation of textile and apparel industries has attracted much attention from the industry.
​
                                                                                                                                                                This Canton Fair has been changed from one two-phase exhibition to one three-phase exhibition for the first time. In the third phase, five product categories including “Textiles and Clothing”, “Footwear”, “Office, Luggage and Leisure Products”, “Medicine and Healthcare”, and “Food and Local Products” will be exhibited. 17 exhibition areas.
​
In the men’s and women’s clothing exhibition area, we saw that although the exhibition had just opened less than an hour ago, there were already many buyers coming to discuss business at the Shanghai Silk Group Brand Development Co., Ltd. booth. According to the company’s general manager Chen Chuan, although the situation of clothing exports in 2008 was relatively severe, judging from today’s situation, there is still room for clothing.
​
Wang Yongli, deputy general manager of Guangdong Silk Textile Group Co., Ltd., also said: “Although it is difficult to accurately judge the export situation on the first day of the Canton Fair, the country has recently raised the export tax rebate for textile and clothing again, giving companies great confidence.” According to Wang Yongli, his company’s exports increased by 21.9% in the first three quarters, and the growth trend is stable.
