DIFFICULTIES OF GARMENT INDUSTRY

The garment industry is facing a number of difficulties, which need to be surmounted to
ensure its continued rapid growth. The industry’s most pressing problem is its equipment and
machinery. The out of dated technology, has contributed to low production capacity and bad
quality product, thereby, deteriorating Vietnamese manufactures competitiveness in the
international market. That is why, unsurprisingly many enterprises enjoying exports quota, to the
EU and other countries do not export the goods directly, but intermediates. This has caused loses.
Private manufacturers have to move up the value chain to ensure their survival.
With the increase in price competitiveness in the region, product quality is becoming
increasingly important. Both private and state-owned manufactures face significant
problems in trying to move up the value chain. The most important of these problems are:
- A local textile industry is not competitive (leading to a reliance on imported law
materials).
- An over-dependence on foreign agents (resulting in reduced profit margins and
limited knowledge about final markets and consumers).
- A shortage of skilled workers (leading to low product quality).
- A dearth of practical training facilities (most training is very theoretical).
- Limited access to information (about local laws, suppliers, foreign markets, etc…).
- Limited ability to access foreign markets (leading to passivity; i.e., waiting for
agents/buyers to come to them).
Private garment manufacturers face an additional problem by virtue of their private
ownership. The most important of these are:
- An inability to access loans from banks (leading to difficulties in expanding or
upgrading equipment).
- Lack of experience with direct exporting.
4


- These factors trap many private garment firms in a vicious circle and limit
opportunities to expand and upgrade. Managers are reluctant to invest in staff training, and
the trap continues. In the words of one manager: “we are on the tiger’s back and cannot get

off”.

Task 1: Answer the questions
1. What is the disadvantage of garment export?
..................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................
2. What are the most problems of garment industry?
..................................................................................................................

 LET’S LEARN MORE
WHY DO WE WEAR CLOTHES?
Have you ever stopped to wonder why we wear clothes? There are many
reasons. Let us consider each of these points. Clothes are necessary to protect our body
from the weather. In winter, we would soon feel cold and chapped without the protection
of warm clothing. In a similar way, the summer sun would dry our skin, if we didn’t cover
our body with lightweight clothes. Shoes are needed to protect the feet from the hard
ground. Headwear and gloves are sometimes needed to shield the head and the hands from
extremes of temperature. The type of clothing we wear depends upon the climate of the
country we live in. In hot countries, people wear lightweight clothing. In cold countries,
6


people wear thicker, warm clothes. Wool, animal skins such as fur and leather, and heavy
man – made materials are used. One example is the “parka” or long, hooded jacket worn

by the Eskimoes. This is made from animal skins. It is warm and gives protection from
wind, ice, and snow. Apart from this practical usage, some clothes may have special
significant. It is essential that people like policemen and firemen are clearly recognizable
and so a uniform is worn which makes them easy to identify. Some clothes give very
special protection and ensure that people can work efficiently and safely. For example,
workers on building sites wear helmets to protect their heads from falling objects;
scientists wear overalls to protect their clothes from chemicals; deep – sea divers wear
special suits and breathing apparatus to help them to work under sea. Can you think of
other examples of clothing that give a special type of protection?

A BRIEF TALK ON THE QIPAO

14


The Qipao is one of the most typical, traditional costumes for Chinese women. It
stems from a kind of long robe worn by both men and women of the northern minority
nationalities in China. To keep warm, the collar of the costumes was made high and tight
fitting. It has carried on this feature, not just for preventing coldness but for beauty. The
sleeves of the Qipao vary in shape and length. For example, there are sleeveless, long –
length sleeves, elbow – length sleeves, cornet sleeves, double sleeves, etc. The cuffs are so
varied that we can’t mention them all. The Qipao generally has two big openings at either
side of the hem for convenient movement and for display of the slender legs of women.
It’s important to select proper shoes to match the Qipao so that they can form a
harmonious unity. Sharp-toe, high – heeled leather shoes and half high – heeled shoes
generally make a pair of feet appear smaller. So they match the Qipao. In short, the Qipao
is elegant and gentle. It can display women’s modesty, softness and beauty, like Chinese
women’s temperament. Whenever people see a Qipao, they will think of the Chinese
nation, and ancient China’s boundless mystery.
