Export orders for production in the second and third quarters have fallen 5 per cent to 7 per cent against the same period last year.
According to the chairman of the association, there was a move in export garment orders from Vietnam to Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, because customers of those countries would benefit from preferential export taxes when exporting to the United States and Europe. In order to take more export orders, some firms have established member companies to exploit and expand their export markets, as well as seek customers and develop a supply chain from material to finished products.
