US fashion industry: Bangladesh to get more orders than China, Vietnam over next 2 years

[bluesky]

You just have f problem with your arrogant attitude, in the writing, you have clear intention of confusing the reader that Xinjiang is Uighers and Uyghers is or should be a country becos many of them have similar religion as you. Good luck with your country in progress and development in the future if you people have such arrogant attitudes as shown on the PDF often.

You idiot now are trying to insult me here and there and now as a low Indian ? Wash your mouth with acid ! And you have no right to tell me to shut up to silence me becos you idiot can't admit you are wrong !

I may have some problems, but it is related to your own non-understanding of my narration. Very stupid of you that you are here teaching me where Xingjiang is located. You have a comprehension problem with a paragraph in English.

By the way, where is your Chinese flag? Why are you disrespectful of China supposed to be your native country?

Study English more and leave geography matters to others. No one appointed you to be a Geography teacher here.

Stupid Canadian!!!!

@bluesky bhai, Bangladesh was heavily dependent on import of cotton and yarn from India seven years ago, since then cotton and yarn import from India has declined significantly, as Indians themselves consume it for local processing.

It is very natural that BD gradually diversified its source of cotton though it started with supply from India. I have read accounts that West African countries want to ship their high-quality cotton to BD. But, their transport structure is very bad. I don&t know what happened finally.

Can you tell me if BD imports cotton from the Central Asian Turkic countries? They produce very high quality cotton.

My flag is unimportant. What's important are the facts of the discussion. The problem is with your stupid attitude think you are smarter than others. I am not try to teach you geography, but correct you some errors. I have no problem of comprehend your Bengal English, you think you are superior becos you people have been exposed to English usage for hundreds of years ? You are clearly factually incorrect when you speak of Xinjiang, it's called Xinjiang cotton not Uyghers cotton as there are many Han Chinese and also other minorities work in the Xinjiang cotton industry. You repeatedly purposefully called it Uyghers cotton must be with some purpose. And, don't think you can insult me in your Bengal English on PDF and then expect me and others to not fight back !

 

[bluesky]

You just have f problem with your arrogant attitude, in the writing, you have clear intention of confusing the reader that Xinjiang is Uighers and Uyghers is or should be a country becos many of them have similar religion as you.

I personally have no issue with Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region remaining a part of China.

And please read your post and correct the word from Uighers and Uyghers to Uygur or Uyghur. The last one is preferable.

Are you happy if I keep on correcting small mistakes in your own English words? So, do not do it to others.

I saw people using Uighers and Uyghers on conversations and documents, So both popular ones are acceptable to me. If I made an error especially a factual one, people are welcome to point out.

Such as implying that Uighurs is a distinct country and calling it Uighurs cotton not the proper name Xinjiang cotton as the standard are not grammatical errors but factual errors. Uighurs only comprise about 45% of the total population in Xinjiang.

More than half of the US apparel executives plan to source more from Bangladesh than from China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia and other competitors over the next two years, according to the USFIA 2022 Fashion Industry Benchmarking Study.

According to the report published by the United States Fashion Industry Association (USFIA), around 55% of the US apparel executives expressed their interest to increase sourcing from Bangladesh till 2024, including 3% who expected a strong increase.

When asked from which countries or regions the US fashion companies planned to increase their sourcing value in the next two years, India led the way, followed by CAFTA-DR region and Bangladesh, with all three selected by more than half of the respondents, said the report.

CAFTA-DR or Dominican Republic-Central America FTA is the first free trade agreement between the United States and a group of smaller developing economies – Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Dominican Republic.

Mexico ranked the fourth, while Indonesia and Vietnam tied for the fifth position on the list of destinations from where the US buyers plan to increase sourcing.

Fazlul Hoque, managing director at Plummy Fashions Limited and former president of Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA), told TBS the report of this study is logical.

He said the US buyers are convinced that Bangladesh has developed the capacity in the last few years to produce garment products other than the basic items. Currently they are placing a lot of orders for knitwear items from Bangladesh. As a result, the export growth of Bangladesh RMG products in that market in the last few months was more than 50%.

He also said since India has its own raw materials, they are able to export clothes at a relatively low price, which might be the reason that they are on top of the buyers' choice.

USFIA Fashion Industry Benchmarking Study is a survey of executives from over 30 leading fashion brands, retailers, importers, and wholesalers, including some of the largest brands and retailers in the country.

More than 85% respondents in the survey plan to cut their cotton apparel imports from China, while 45% said they will further reduce non-cotton apparel imports.

Asia remains the dominant sourcing base for US fashion companies.

Almost all the top ten most-utilised apparel sourcing destinations in 2021 are Asia-based, led by China (91%), Vietnam (88%), Bangladesh (84%), and India (72%).

However, there is considerable excitement about increasing apparel sourcing from the CAFTA-DR region.

Reducing "China exposure" is one crucial driver of US fashion companies' sourcing diversification strategy. One-third of respondents have reported sourcing less than 10% of their apparel products from China this year.

In addition, a new record of 50% of respondents has sourced more from Vietnam than China in 2022.

Fashion brands, retailers face challenges

Supply chain disruptions remain a major challenge over two years into the global pandemic.

Almost all the survey respondents said shipping delays and supply chain disruptions are one of their top business challenges in 2022.

Over 95% of respondents expect implementation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) to affect their company's sourcing.

Most respondents (over 92%) do not plan to reduce apparel sourcing from Asian countries other than China.

However, nearly 60% of respondents would also "explore new sourcing destinations outside Asia" in response to UFLPA.

USFIA based its new report on a survey of 34 executives at "leading" US fashion companies, 81% of which have more than 1,000 employees. Approximately 70% self-identified as retailers, 67% as importers and wholesalers and 40 percent as brands. USFIA conducted its survey between April and June.

TBS is now one of the local Bangladeshi Godi Media outlets like WION. How - you ask? Look at the story above and how they inserted the red-marked sections to add positive news about India (which was nowhere in the original story), Bunch of Modi-shills, these TBS morons. Maybe not all of them, but the editorial staff is for sure on RAW payroll.

This was the original story below - as published in Fibre2Fashion, an apparel industry online magazine. Which was transduced by TBS to add the references to India - which had no references to India in the first place. See the bolded and red marked comments above which were added by TBS per some Modi-shill working there.

This is subtle Hindutva propaganda most obtuse-minded Bangladeshis neither watch for, nor protest. To those of you false-flaggers here who like to kiss Modi's chappals (and criticize me) I can assure you I will never stop pointing these things out. Please watch, listen and sharpen your hearing for certain propaganda coming from New Delhi. The eight-pass guy will use every subtle trick in the book to stay in power and accomplish his grand plan of controlling Bangladesh.

There are tons of false-flaggers in Bangladesh (online, in Mukto-Mona, here in PDF as well as in real life) working with maniacal Hindutva fervor 24/7/365 to turn Bangladesh into an obedient work-servant country for work-master Modi. These people still wear their "gairic" saffron uttariya and topis and raise Jai Hind slogans in front of the press club in Dhaka.

It started its first conspiratorial public outing in 1952 (Barkat was from West Bengal who led the language movement issue that year and was a RAW operative) and continues to this day. I will never, ever let my country become a vassal of India. You can call me whatever names you like.

if you as a Bangladeshi were born in a country like Bangladesh which gave you every possible benefit as a citizen (and whether you worship Shiva or Allah) - you owe Bangladesh (and its citizens) your everything, your EVERY ALLEGIANCE !

The least you can do is stay neutral. To turn your back on it in attempts to become a seditionist (and turn Bangladesh into an Indian vassal) and not watch its interests is low, nothing lower. I hope you false-Bangladeshi Modi-shills burn in purgatory.

US fashion industry expects sourcing volume to grow in 2022: Survey

Find news on US fashion industry expects sourcing volume to grow in 2022: Survey and more fashion related news at Fibre2Fashion

www.fibre2fashion.com

"About 90 per cent of respondents belonging to the fashion industry expect their sourcing value or volume to grow in 2022, according to a recent survey. Close to 77 per cent feel at least somewhat optimistic about the next 5 years, despite the current short-term challenges, and nearly all respondents—97 per cent—plan to increase hiring over the next 5 years.

Increasing sourcing and production costs remain a top concern for the US fashion industry, according to United States Fashion Industry Association’s (USFIA) ninth annual Fashion Industry Benchmarking Study, a survey of executives from over 30 leading fashion brands, retailers, importers and wholesalers.

For the first time in the nine-year history of the Benchmarking Study, 100 per cent of respondents expect their sourcing costs to increase in 2022. US fashion companies continue to adopt a more diverse sourcing base, to handle supply chain disruptions and growing sourcing risks. Reducing ‘China exposure’ is one crucial driver of US fashion companies’ sourcing diversification strategy. One-third of respondents report sourcing less than 10 per cent of their apparel products from China this year. In addition, a new record of 50 per cent of respondents source more from Vietnam than China in 2022.

Asia remains the dominant supplier of apparel. This key finding has been consistent over the last nine years. Almost all the top ten most-utilised apparel sourcing destinations in 2021 are Asia-based, led by China (91 per cent), Vietnam (88 per cent), Bangladesh (84 per cent), and India (72 per cent). However, there is considerable excitement about increasing apparel sourcing from the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) region. Over the next two years, 60 per cent of respondents plan to increase sourcing from CAFTA-DR. Improving textile raw material supply will be critical to encouraging more US apparel sourcing from the region.

US fashion companies strongly support another ten-year renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). Meanwhile, Ethiopia’s loss of AGOA benefits is negatively impacting the region. No respondent plans to move sourcing orders from Ethiopia to another AGOA beneficiary country. This highlights the uncertain future for sourcing when supply chains are disrupted, as per the study.

Respondents represent companies with headquarters or major management offices in the US. This year, around 75 per cent of respondents also have headquarters or major management offices outside the US, including China, Asia other than China, Europe, Eastern and Central America, and Mexico, among others. In addition to 100 per cent selling products in the US, over half of respondents also sell products in Canada, Western Europe, Mexico, and Asia. These patterns reflect the global nature of the fashion business today and the ever-closer connection of the US fashion industry with markets and supply chain partners worldwide.
The study was conducted in conjunction with Dr. Sheng Lu, associate professor in the University of Delaware Department of Fashion & Apparel Studies.

Well someone got triggered !

Well he got triggered and I did too. But I got self-triggered for a different reason.

This TBS story is nothing but a veiled propaganda attempt to diss China and sing "stuti-gaan" for Modi.

This "Uighur" crap is in one word propaganda from Hindutva folks, plain and simple.

We in Bangladesh have "NO DOGS IN THIS FIGHT". PERIOD.

This is an internal disciplinary matter for China, if it even exists.

We should not beat that Modi drum.

@Black_cats bhai I mean no ill-will for you, but you really have to watch what you post. meaning the subject matter and the subtle nuance, source and credibility of the news stories you post.

The mods have now taken notice, as you have seen.

This "Uighur" crap is in one word propaganda from Hindutva folks, plain and simple.

Just half an hour ago I came down a station called "Askadai" and saw a white man with his Japanese colleagues/ disciples shouting against China's dealing with Uighur people on a loudspeaker.

I was surprised to see how fluent this foreigner's Japanese was. I am good but I cannot probably match his efficiency. I wanted to take a picture and upload it here. Then I thought the Uighur cotton thread is gone now.

He is an American, no doubt. He was shouting about the treatment of Uighur Muslims by the Han and the Chinese govt. But, I wonder, is the claim real?

I heard that the Han character is still used in Japan today. and Japan still retains the golden seal given to the Japanese king by the Great Han emperor. and japanese are still obsessed with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Tang poetry. is this real?

When the great Han emperor gave the Japanese the golden seal. and canonize a Japanese King (sorry, forget the name of this Japanese king). Xinjiang already belongs to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

to the Tang Dynasty (6th-9th centuries AD). The Battle of Talas broke out between the Tang army and the Arab army. I still don't know where "Turkestan" is?

But suddenly one day. Some Uighur traitors and some foreigners told me. Xinjiang is "East Turkestan". Xinjiang does not belong to China... and announced that China's prevention of Uighur rebel riots is a violation of human rights and genocide.

Maybe the Chinese government is too kind. These traitors have no fear. They seem very different from North American Indians. Oh, I wish you a happy Thanksgiving in advance.

btw, I guess. the Anglo-Saxons knew better what genocide was. what you think?

The following is the original Chinese text from the chronicle:

建武中元二年，倭奴國奉貢朝賀，使人自稱大夫，倭國之極南界也。光武賜以印綬。[6]

This passage can be translated into English as:

"In the 2nd year of the jianwu zhongyuan reign period [AD 57], the Na state of Wa sent an envoy with tribute. The envoy introduced himself as a high official. The state lies in the far south of Wa. [Emperor] Guangwu bestowed on him a seal with a tassel."[3][7]

During the Han Dynasty, similar seals were bestowed on other regional sovereigns, in an attempt by the dynasty to bring these sovereigns into the Han ruling order.[3]

When the great Han emperor gave the Japanese the golden seal. and canonize a Japanese King (sorry, forget the name of this Japanese king). Xinjiang already belongs to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Xinjiang people are Turkic and Muslim like the other five central asian Republics in its west. They are not Han Chinese in the true sense. Like any border region it changed hands and finally, it became a part of modern-day China.

But, they do not call themselves Chinese though they have Chinese Passports. To them, their land has been occupied and annexed by China.

How about following the example of the old-time USSR? It was broken into many.

to the Tang Dynasty (6th-9th centuries AD). The Battle of Talas broke out between the Tang army and the Arab army. I still don't know where "Turkestan" is?

But suddenly one day. Some Uighur traitors and some foreigners told me. Xinjiang is "East Turkestan". Xinjiang does not belong to China... and announced that China's prevention of Uighur rebel riots is a violation of human rights and genocide.

Turkistan's map changed throughout many centuries. Today, five Turkic states are in the Central Asia and Xinjiang people think of themselves as the sixth. All together, they are Turkic people. This is why Xinjiang people call themselves "East Turkistani".

Maybe the Chinese government is too kind. These traitors have no fear. They seem very different from North American Indians. Oh, I wish you a happy Thanksgiving in advance.

btw, I guess. the Anglo-Saxons knew better what genocide was. what you think?

No, the Chinese govt is the occupying force of Xinjiang. If China keeps on putting pressure on them rebellion may break out in many other parts of China. So, the Xinjiang issue must be resolved truthfully.

Wait, whose land is Xinjiang??? Who is the Xinjiang occupation army???

Baby! You think I'm explaining anything to you???

Do you think China has no bombers and tactical hydrogen bombs???

I say it again. Xinjiang has been Chinese territory since the Han Dynasty! If you have any doubt about this fact. We use war to solve this problem!

I don't look down on any country. Y-20 can go to Turkey. H-6n can also go!

baby. Don't forget. We have a permanent port in Greece! Enough for us to dock a fleet! We don't mind becoming the "West Turkestan occupation army"!

Yeah, you are what you are indeed and you are not hidden it ! You obviously support some of the separatists Uyghers' desire to form a separate East Turkistan in Xinjiang ,China. Tell you what, there is no East Turkistan, but in the minds of the terrorist separatists Uyghers and maybe many Turks in Turkey, and also in many evil Japanese minds who always want to split China into pieces and now I supppose you are one of them. Xinjiang was/is part of China since the Han dynasty more 2000 years ago and will remain so in the future. Your hope that China should be broken into many states in the near future is just a wishful dream of the delusional evil Japanese and you too. Han Chinese have been settling in Xinjiang at least 7000 years and the region came under Chinese central government rule since Han dynasty long before the Uyghers ancestors established themselves as an ethnic group in Xinjiang. Currently, the Uyghers comprise about 45% and Han comprise about 43% of the total population in Xinjiang. There is at least more than one third of genetic similarities between Uyghers and East Asians or Hans. The genetic similarities between Uyghers and the Turks in Turkey is about 6%. The Turks in Turkey basically has nothing to do with the Uyghers in Xinjiang historically too. I have encountered many Uyghers and they do consider themselves as Chinese citizens. I don't know where do you get the idea that literally all Uyghers don't think they are Chinese citizens, maybe from the Japanese or your religion ? Your wishful dream of seeing Xinjiang become a Muslim East Turkistan will not come, period, just dream on !
