The COVID-19 epidemic is still raging, and various industries across our country have begun to usher in the start of business. However, our textile industry, which is known for its labor intensity, has continued to postpone the start of operations due to the severe prevention and control situation. At present, the vast majority of textile business districts will start operations after February 20, and some even have no specific start time, but will depend on the development of the epidemic.
Restrictions on high-speed exports have been relaxed
Long-term shutdowns have had a huge impact on the textile industry. Recently, there have been reports of Restrictions have been lifted on highway exits in some textile business districts to allow workers returning from other places to enter, including nine cities in one province with high epidemic incidence (Hubei Province, Wenzhou City, Taizhou City, Hangzhou City, Ningbo City, Xinyang City, Zhumadian City, Hefei Non-local employees in Fuyang City, Nanchang City) need the company to go to the highway or provincial intersection to sign and claim.
Just a few days ago, it was difficult for people coming from key epidemic areas or other provinces to return to their place of work. The sudden change in the market is actually due to the textile industry’s urgent need to start operations. Everyone in the textile industry chain has been tortured by this “winter vacation”.
The textile boss is under great pressure
In terms of funding
The textile market has been tepid in 2019. The weaving market was basically in a stage of inventory accumulation last year, especially They are conventional fabrics. Products such as polyester taffeta, nylon, and imitation silk have almost become a nightmare for weaving bosses. They often have millions or tens of millions of meters in inventory. These inventories could have been partially consumed during the market recovery after the year, but now it seems basically impossible. Gray fabrics have been accumulated in warehouses for a long time. On the one hand, they occupy a lot of working capital, and on the other hand, the gray fabrics themselves are easily damaged.

Of course, not every textile company can persist for a few months.
In terms of starting work
“Stop production and others start work” is something that no textile person wants to see. Although the textile industries in various regions have more or less policies to postpone the start of operations due to the pneumonia epidemic, in fact, local governments are working hard to overcome all difficulties and allow some textile industries to start operations first. Taking the Xiaoshan area as an example, some companies have recently been approved to resume production, with a total of 179 companies in the first batch, including more than 30 textile-related companies. The Shengze area is also gradually opening up, but many of its textile companies are unable to start production normally because non-local employees cannot arrive in time.
At this time, we can implement production and enter the market. Before other peers can react, we can seize the opportunity and gain customers and orders. But it is not good news for other companies that have not been allowed to start operations, especially those companies that cannot produce simply because workers from other places have not arrived. It is full of regrets. Not only will profits be affected in the short term, but customers are likely to be taken away by companies that have already started operations. Opening up roads to allow non-local employees to return in a timely manner should be what many textile companies are eager to hope for.
Non-resident employees are conflicted
Restrictions on entry of non-resident employees
Although the spread of COVID-19 does not depend on household registration, in order to limit the movement of people and reduce the risk of transmission, household registration can only be used as the standard, and local regulations stipulate that before the start of work, people from other places Employees are prohibited from returning. For this reason, each community and village group has organized special personnel to guard intersections, village entrances, and gates. People with out-of-town registration are basically prohibited from entering. Even if someone is willing to self-quarantine for 14 days, they will not be allowed to enter. For people in areas with high epidemic incidence, some village groups have even issued reward announcements in order to prevent and control the epidemic.
Under such a ban, non-local tenants who return early will inevitably have conflicts or even conflicts with landlords, community property management, and village team members. It is reported that a migrant worker engaged in the textile industry recently traveled 600 to 700 kilometers from Shandong to return to his place of work, but was stopped at the entrance of the village and finally had to return to his hometown after many heated arguments.
Resulting in recruitment difficulties
Us In the textile industry, there have always been a large number of non-local employees renting houses in villages near textile factories. While they provide labor for factories, they pay rent to local landlords and promote local consumption, but now they are faced with the situation of being unable to return home. Although it is a special situation of the pneumonia epidemic, we still rejected them because of the difference between local and foreign places. Whether they will be disappointed and aggrieved, how many people have thought about them.
Of course he�The momentary resentment will not attract many people’s attention, but if these migrant workers feel that they have been unfairly treated and leave, return to their hometowns and never come out again, will it cause difficulty in recruiting workers to some extent? You must know that it is already difficult to find workers under the age of 45 in textile factories. “No successor” is a problem that almost every link in the textile industry chain is difficult to get rid of.
The current good news is that textile cities in various places are gradually relaxing restrictions, and entrances to highways and national highways can be entered, and people from some non-epidemic areas are no longer allowed to enter. Need to quarantine for 14 days. All factories are ready to start production, and when workers are in place one after another, they can officially start production. Since the Spring Festival, the entire market demand has been suppressed. Once the market is liberalized, a large number of orders will be placed.
