Meanwhile, effects from TPP again caused many difficulties for the DN free when the countries are not members of TPP launched several policies to support domestic textile industry to raise the competitiveness.

With this result, export of 2016 target of textile industry laid out up to 30-31 billion USD seems to be very far away. Even, the analyst forecasts by 2017, the Vietnam textile & garment industry continues to be led by the market, plummeting world demand.

Some comments of optimism for that July and August every year, the textile industry in the low season so orders and export slump is not disturbed. However, according to Mr. Pham Xuan Hong, the decline of the textile export currently not only the weather service that many COMPANIES are having difficulty due to shortages.

Garments exports FOB form helps COMPANIES dealing directly with the buyer (not through intermediaries) will capture the market more quickly, often before the order from the second half of the year. Thus, when the lack of orders, COMPANIES have time to find a way to deal.

To deal with the situation of plummeting orders, Mr. Pham Xuan Hong said recently, the DN of embroidery knitting textiles
