CPTPP Enters into Force in Vietnam
Vietnam's garment manufacturing industry is about to burst out!
The Comprehensive Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) entered into force in Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Singapore on December 30, 2018, and in Vietnam on January 14, 2019. Vietnam became the seventh country to ratify CPTPP. In addition, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia and Peru will begin to implement the agreement 60 days after the approval process has been completed.
It is reported that CPTPP countries account for 13% of global gross domestic product (GDP), involving over 500 million people. After the CPTPP came into force, Japanese officials told the media that Thailand and Britain could join the negotiations on the agreement in 2019 and become new signatories to the agreement.
The impact of CPTPP on Vietnam's economy depends largely on Vietnam's ability to seize opportunities and overcome challenges. CPTPP gradually abolished 98% of tariffs on agricultural and industrial products, relaxed investment regulations and strengthened the protection of intellectual property rights.
Joining CPTPP brings Vietnam an unprecedented market, & ldquo; Vietnam Made & rdquo; or the biggest winner. According to Vietnam News Agency, Vietnam has imported 112 billion US dollars of foreign investment from CPTPP countries, equivalent to 15% of Vietnam's total foreign investment.
The people of Vietnam are not only hard-working, but also full of vitality. At present, there are about 30 million young and middle-aged people in Vietnam. The trend of population aging in China is obvious, while the population of Vietnam is relatively young. Vietnam will maintain this advantage for a considerable period of time, thus enhancing the competitiveness of the labor force.
In the field of textile and apparel, now & quot; Made in Vietnam & quot; is quietly occupying & quot; Made in China & quot; market. In 2009, Nike's Vietnamese Generation Factory surpassed China's overall capacity; in 2012, Adidas's last Chinese factory closed in Suzhou; in April 2018, Uniqlo announced that China's production capacity would shift to Southeast Asia, and Vietnam would bear 40% of its total production.
Not only foreign brands, but also many private clothing, shoes and hats enterprises originally rooted in Guangdong and Fujian Province of China have set off a wave of relocation of factories to Vietnam under the attraction of cheap labor. Chinese textile and apparel enterprises have also accelerated the pace of transfer to Vietnam.
Bosten, the manufacturer and distributor of Chinese down jackets, will also expand production in Southeast Asia. With the help of capital cooperation with Itochu, Japan, Bosten began to conduct pilot production in Vietnamese textile factories related to Itochu, and plans to further expand production according to production trends.
The reasons for the transfer are not complicated, because the labor costs to Vietnam can be nearly 50% cheaper. The average monthly wage of Vietnamese production workers is $216. Moreover, according to World Bank data, Vietnam has one of the largest labor forces in Southeast Asia, with 57.5 million workers, compared with 15.4 million in Malaysia and 44.6 million in the Philippines.
Against the background of Sino-US trade frictions, China's clothing foreign trade orders are difficult, while Vietnam's clothing manufacturing industry is making great strides forward, which can not but arouse industry vigilance.

Premier of Vietnam: Vietnam must become & ldquo; World Factory & rdquo;!
In recent years, Vietnam's manufacturing industry has developed rapidly with the advantages of land, labor and energy.
Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Chunfu said that Vietnam must become a world factory, and the government will create a good investment environment for all economic entities to promote production and growth, according to Vietnamese official media Vietnam News recently.
Ruan Chunfu said that after 30 years of reform, Vietnam's industry and trade have achieved remarkable growth and become an important contributor to Vietnam's economic development, accounting for 80% of the country's GDP. In 2018, Vietnam achieved its established economic goals, with rapid growth in import, export and consumption. Vietnam's total import and export trade in 2018 reached 245 billion US dollars (RMB 1.66 trillion yuan), an increase of 13.8% year on year, far exceeding the government's expected target!
He also pointed out that although Vietnam's economy has achieved good results, there is still much room for improvement in planning, implementation and management, and the development of the industry has not yet met the requirements of industrialization and modernization. In the fourth wave of industrial revolution, Vietnam is facing severe challenges.
Ruan Chunfu said: & ldquo; Vietnam to become a one-stop process, largely depends on the development of industry and trade. & Talking about the target of 2019, he said that science and technology are the most important, the science and technology industry should speed up the process of privatization, the withdrawal of state-owned capital should be accelerated, the reorganization of state-owned enterprises should be accelerated, and the tasks that have not yet been completed and promoted inefficiently need to be solved.
Nguyen Chunfu also urged the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam to tackle globalization drastically and launch corresponding reform measures.
In response, Minister of Industry and Trade of Vietnam, Chen Junying, who attended the meeting, said that the Ministry of Industry and Trade had launched two action plans on January 4. In the future, it would continue to solve the problems of import and export, trade promotion and foreign market development, as well as new problems in bilateral trade, such as trade barriers and anti-dumping affairs.
He also asked the Department to develop drastic updates in the context of international integration. Chen Junying said that the Ministry of Industry and Trade will focus on investment promotion and decentralization, and will cut at least 79 administrative procedures in 2019.

Note appended
Vietnam Environmental Standards Note:
1. Vietnam's emission indicators are regionally relevant, and each industrial zone will have a certain amount of emissions (some industrial zones do not batch pollution projects, such as coastal defense Singapore Industrial Zone, etc.), requiring companies to apply to the park;
2. The pollutant discharge right of the park is reserved. In the future, if enterprises want to enter the park, they will not be able to enter the park if there are no indicators.
3. At present, there are 90,000 tons of pollution discharge standards in the park where Shenzhou and Bailong are located (Fudong). Shenzhou has applied for a target of 20,000 tons and invested about 10 million US dollars in sewage treatment equipment (because the company has removed a lot of impurities in cotton dyeing, so the price is relatively low).
4. Bailong has about 12,000 tons of pollutant discharge target and about 15 million US dollars investment (because dyeing cotton is difficult to deal with, cotton has high impurities and concentration, so equipment investment is high).
Regional environmental comparison in Southeast Asia:
1. & nbsp; Vietnam has abundant electricity and water resources. Political stability, relatively high quality personnel, clothing workers'efficiency is about 70% - 80% of the domestic;
2. Cambodian workers'cultural level is not high, there are many national holidays, and their employees' freedom is relatively high. The efficiency of garment factories is only 40-50% in China.
ThreeBangladesh is one of the poorest 30 countries in the world with cheap labor; garment factories with a large number of European and American brands (where cotton is not produced and most yarn supplies are imported). But infrastructure such as transportation and electricity is very weak, mainly the problem of electricity (every factory needs natural gas to generate electricity, but the overall supply of natural gas is tight).
