2013 China Textile Raw Materials Conference Held in Nanjing

On June 4, the 2013 China Textile Raw Material Market hosted by China Textile Industry Federation was held in Nanjing. Shi Heping, the deputy governor, Zhu Hongren, member of the party committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Wang Tiankai, president of the China Textile Industry Federation attended the meeting.

The scale of production and sales of the textile industry in Jiangsu Province ranks first in the country for many years. The main products rank among the top in the country, with 292 brand names in the world, well-known trademarks in China and provincial brands. Shi Heping pointed out that the textile industry is a traditional advantageous industry in Jiangsu. In recent years, the provincial Party committee and the provincial government have vigorously promoted their transformation and development, with obvious results. At present, the weakening of external demand and rising costs have become the main bottleneck for industrial development. The convening of the textile raw materials market will provide us with effective guidance and promotion in accurately grasping the current industry development situation and making greater efforts to promote industrial transformation. Jiangsu will focus on accelerating structural adjustment, implementing brand strategy, strengthening technological innovation, and improving enterprise management, and promoting the textile industry to climb up to the high end of the industrial chain and value chain, and accelerate the leap to the “strong textile province”.
