Wangjiang County is known as the “Hometown of White Clouds”. It is a national emerging textile industry base county and a high-quality cotton production and export base county. Its output ranks second in the province. In 2021, the output value of the county’s largest textile and garment enterprises accounted for the largest share of the county’s. It accounts for 78% of the total industrial output value and is making every effort to build a national textile and clothing city. Huo Hui, deputy to the Anhui Provincial People’s Congress and secretary of the Wangjiang County Committee of the Communist Party of China, suggested that the provincial party committee and the provincial government strengthen planning and guidance, introduce policies to encourage textile and garment enterprises to improve their innovation capabilities, and accelerate the formation of high-end textile and garment industry clusters with strong competitiveness.
Huo Hui introduced that Wangjiang County’s textile and clothing has always been one of the county’s leading industries and has great industry competitiveness in the Yangtze River Delta region and even the country. . There are now more than a thousand “overwhelming” textile and garment-related enterprises, forming a full-chain textile industry cluster integrating ginning, viscose, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, printing, ready-made garments, washing, and packaging. Among them, Shenzhou Knitting is also known as the “Foxconn” of China’s clothing industry, with output value exceeding 10 billion yuan in 2021. From “to make clothes, go to Wangjiang” to “to buy clothes, go to Wangjiang” is becoming Wangjiang’s new brand business card.
Huo Hui said, “Currently, Wangjiang County is focusing on key areas such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, benchmarking against advanced ones, raising the benchmark, and advancing at the top level.” “Double recruitment, double introduction” will promote the extension and replenishment of industrial chains, guide related industrial projects to gather in Wangjiang, and strive to build a well-known domestic textile and apparel industry cluster. Wangjiang Children’s Clothing City, Textile and Apparel Industry New City, Liangliang Textile Technology Park, Demonstration Parks such as the Pioneer Park have been put into use or started construction one after another, and talents in the textile and clothing industry have gathered. There are more than 100,000 people engaged in research and development, design, clothing processing, and brand marketing of the textile and clothing industry in the county, laying the foundation for the concentrated development and accelerated development of Wangjiang’s textile and clothing industry. A good foundation has been laid. Wangjiang has become the first textile county in Anhui, and the textile and garment industry cluster has become a characteristic industrial cluster in counties in Anhui Province.”
Huo Hui said, With its strong industrial vitality, the textile and clothing industry cluster has played an irreplaceable and positive role in promoting the development of the textile and clothing industry, brand building, accelerating rural industrialization and urbanization, and increasing social employment and fiscal and tax revenue. However, with the transformation of the economic development model, some “pain points” existing in the cluster development model have gradually emerged, such as insufficient innovation power, imperfect industrial supporting facilities, and lack of human resources.
To this end, he suggested that the provincial party committee and the provincial government strengthen planning and guidance, introduce policies to encourage textile and garment enterprises to improve their innovation capabilities, and accelerate the formation of highly competitive enterprises. High-end textile and apparel industry cluster. Focus on making up for shortcomings at the industrial value chain level, vigorously promote new materials and new processes, introduce advanced design concepts, overcome a number of key common technologies that restrict the development of the industry, improve product quality, and realize the transformation of the province’s textile and garment industry from “quantity economy” to “quantity economy” “Brand Economy” transformation and build a complete domestic demand system. By improving the integration level of “two informatizations”, we will guide textile and garment enterprises to develop in the direction of digital and intelligent manufacturing, and use the power of “Internet +” to achieve online and offline interactive experiences, increase international marketing efforts, and attract high-quality external demand. Return, promote the acceleration of domestic substitution, open up the “dual cycle”, and expand the scale of the industry.
