Vietnam’s
textile and garment industry has been relying heavily on imports, as
95% of the demand for cotton fiber and 70% of the demand for general
fiber must be fed by imports. The government has tried to solve the
problems by building three industrial zones specifically designed to
knit and dye fabrics in Vietnam, reported Vietnam News The three
centers provide materials for garment and textile companies in Hanoi,
Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City and supply their production to surrounding
areas.
Le Quoc An, Chairman of the Viet Nam Garment and Textile Association,
said to the paper that a 16-hectare center in the province's Di
An District, some 25 kilometers from HCMC, is the country's leading
wholesale market for footwear and apparel materials. It is expected to
house hundreds of local and foreign suppliers of textile-garment and
footwear materials. Some 12,000 square meters of the center is used for
displaying goods and 25,000 square meters for warehouse services.
Besides diversified distribution systems, the center sells materials at
reasonable prices. The second phase of the project with the
investment capital of US$8 million will set up a complex with a plus
10-story building including hotel and offices for lease, as well as
exhibition and seminar centers. The center will also provide supporting
services including banking and customs. In addition, the center offers
trade promotion activities and builds up trademarks among local
suppliers.
The center's location, near industrial parks such as the
Vietnam-Singapore (VSIP), Song Than, Dong An, and An Phu with more than
900 companies, is an advantage because most of them rely on outsourcing
contracts for export and must import 70-80% materials. The new
center will help to facilitate supply of raw materials.
