VCOSA’s event
The 7th Vietnam Textile Summit organized by VCOSA in collaboration with ECV on
December 2nd and 3rd 2021
Since its first appearance in early
2020, Covid-19 has been the biggest
challenge facing the apparel
industry, resulting in significant
order cancellations, factory
closures and supply chain
disruptions. However, it is showing
signs of recovery. According to the
World Bank's Global Textile and
Apparel Market Report, the total
global textile and apparel demand is
expected to increase from $594 billion in 2020 to $654 billion in 2021, up 10.1% year-on-year.
In which, the import turnover of textiles and garments from the US - a major export market of
Vietnam's textiles and garments - will increase by 20% over the same period to 115 billion USD.
By taking advantage of its membership in several major free trade agreements, Vietnam is also
one of the very few tier-one apparel suppliers that enjoys duty-free access to more than half of
the import apparel market in the world. This includes the EU (through the EU-Vietnam Free
Trade Agreement) and Japan (CPTPP). Recently, the US Treasury Department removed Vietnam
from its list of currency manipulators, a move that may reassure that the US may not impose
new tariffs, quotas or restrictions on goods. Imported goods of Vietnam as part of a Section 301
investigation. The tax savings benefit gives “Made in Vietnam” garments a unique competitive
advantage when prices become more sensitive during the pandemic.
This conference focused on the latest
global trade issues that will greatly impact
the Vietnamese textile and garment
industry such as the US-China trade war,
the impact of COVID-19 on the Vietnamese
textile and garment industry and the
industry's supply chain, trade uncertainty,
apparel sourcing shifts in new background,
digital transformation of the apparel
industry, sustainability and its importance
to labor. In addition, there are also
mentioned to international brands that
want to enter Vietnam's domestic market.
We are sure that the invited guests and representatives of domestic and foreign businesses have
gained a lot of extremely useful and valuable information in the event.

An update on export performance
Vietnam's exports of fibers and yarns will reach $5.2-5.3 billion in 2021.
After nearly two years of gloomy business, Vietnam's yarn industry bounced back thanks to the
recovery of world yarn prices, so Vietnam's fiber and textile exports have achieved positive
growth.
According to statistics from the General Department of Customs, Vietnam's exports of textile
fibers and yarns in October 2021 reached 148 thousand tons, with a turnover of 468 million
USD, up 2.1% in volume and 3.3% in terms turnover compared to September 2021; down 19.1%
in volume but up 23.1% in turnover compared to October 2020. In the first 10 months of 2021,
Vietnam's export of textile fibers and yarns of all kinds reached 1.61 million tons, with a
turnover of 4.56 billion USD, up 16.4% in volume and 55% in turnover compared to the same
period last year; up 15.1% in volume and 32.2% in turnover over the same period in 2019.
It can be seen that, in recent months, despite being affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, Vietnam's
export of textile fibers and yarns still achieved a turnover of over 400 million USD/month. The
above result is obtained because while large labor-intensive industries such as textiles and
garments, footwear, furniture... suffered from supply chain disruptions during the time Ho Chi
Minh City and localities in the South implemented the distance. In recent times, the productivity
of the yarn industry is still promoted thanks to the industry's characteristics of high automation,
using few workers.
Export of textile fibers and yarns in the first 10 months of 2021 grew at a double-digit rate
compared to the time before the pandemic (the same period in the first 10 months of 2019),
and increased sharply compared to the same period in 2020, showing that the supporting
industry has been and is growing to take advantage of opportunities from new-generation Free
Trade Agreements, helping Vietnam to boost exports of textiles and garments even more.
With the recovery of production, the smooth resumption of the supply chain, the loosening of
epidemic prevention and control measures, the convenient transportation of goods, and the
continued increase in orders, especially with high momentum. As a result of yarn demand from
major markets such as China and South Korea, Vietnam's exports of textile fibers and yarns in
2021 will reach $5.2-5.3 billion.

Vietnam exports textile fibers and yarns of all kinds mainly to the Chinese market, accounting
for 54.04% of total export turnover in the 10 months of 2021.
Vietnam's exports of fibers, yarns and textiles to markets in the first 10 months of 2021
increased in many markets compared to the same period in 2020, in which, exports to China
increased by 15% in volume and increased by 47.3% in turnover, in addition, exports to the
markets of Korea, USA, Taiwan, Bangladesh... also increased strongly.
Thus, together with other groups of garment materials and accessories (all kinds of fabrics,
technical textile) the export of fiber and textile yarns of all kinds also grew well in the first 10
months of 2021.

October 2020 (down 2.01%) compared to September 2021 but increased 35% over the same
period in October 2020).
Generally, for the first 10 months of 2021, the price of imported cotton to Vietnam averaged
$1,879/ton, up 20.5% over the same period in 2020.
Import price of cotton 10 months 2021 (USD/ton)
The average price of imported cotton from all markets increased in the first 10 months of 2021
compared to the same period in 2020, with an increase rate ranging from 10-20%. In which, the
lowest price of cotton material imported from Indonesia reached 1,189 USD/ton; from India
reached 1,606 USD/ton and the import price from the highest market was Australia at 2,092
USD/ton.
World cotton prices increased sharply in the first 10 months of 2021 due to increased demand
in yarn producing countries after the global economy showed signs of recovery and low yarn
inventories. World cotton prices have reached a 10-year high. And the price of Vietnam's
imported cotton fell in October 2021. It is forecasted that Vietnam's raw cotton import price
will decrease slightly next month but will remain at a high level. Opinion basis:
The recent drop in cotton prices coincided with a decline in US cotton exports. Although the
Covid-19 epidemic has had many negative effects on the global economy, the average export
figures for the four weeks since October 2021 have been consistently higher than the averages
for the same period last year.
Strong demand for US cotton from China is one of the factors pushing up cotton prices. U.S.
cotton inventories increased last season (up from 4.9 to 7.3 million bales between 2018/19 and

Page | 16
2019/20). Another factor is the unfavorable weather situation in this year's crop in the US.
According to a USDA report from September 2021, US cotton production in the 2020/21 crop
decreased by about 3.4 million bales. Current US ending stocks for the 2020/21 crop are about
4.2 million bales. This stock is comparable to 2017/18 (when the NY/ICE index averaged 79
cents/lb) but above the average for the previous decade (from 2009/10 to 2016/17).
A decrease in US cotton production is a factor that causes cotton prices to rise. The weather
situation and production here are important factors affecting the price of cotton in 2021/22.
In addition, drought occurred in West Texas, and La Nina occurred in the Pacific region. La Nina
makes weather hotter and drier in the southern states of the United States, and could worsen
drought conditions in West Texas. In addition, La Nina is also often accompanied by stronger
and more hurricane activity in the Atlantic region. Any of the above developments will
negatively affect US cotton production.
US cotton export orders and deliveries are still increasing, but the main market is still China.
China is expected to increase purchases of U.S agricultural products by about $7 billion in 2021.
The combined effect of lower production and increased cotton imports from China means that
the supply of US cotton is likely to be limited in 2022.
However, US-China trade tensions are still present. If the trade deal is cancelled, that will have
a huge impact on US cotton exports and global cotton prices next year.

Cotton Outlook 12-2021
The NY/ICE futures market suggests a significant drop in prices between now and the next
northern hemisphere harvest (2022/23). This is reflected in the 15 cent/lb difference between
prices for the March 2021 contract (currently trading near 105 cents/lb) and the December
2022 contract (currently trading near 90 cents/lb). For that to happen, the uptrend in the
nearby prices, defined by the series of higher lows marked since April 2020, will have to be
broken. Despite the recent retreat, that uptrend is still very much intact. It remains to be seen
what could eventually cause prices to take another step lower. The uptrend has already resisted

Page | 23
the emergence and spread of the Delta variant, lowered expectations for global economic
growth, and supply chain disruption.
Some of the gains over the past year and a half may be attributable to the “everything rally” that
has spanned financial markets since the Federal Reserve unleashed an unprecedented
expansion of the money supply. Given concerns about inflation, these measures may wind down
faster than previously planned.
The discovery of the Omicron variant was coincident with the steepest daily declines in cotton
prices over the past month. Those declines also occurred around the same time that officials
from the Federal Reserve said they were considering an accelerated conclusion to their
monetary expansion and an earlier start for increases in interest rates. The last time the Federal
Reserve began a program of raising rates, the “taper tantrum” sent a range of financial markets
lower.
Challenges to the uptrend could also surface from influences rooted in cotton supply and
demand. An old saying in commodity markets is that the best cure for high prices is high prices.
This is because of basic economic reactions. Higher prices can be expected to result in higher
acreage and production worldwide. Higher prices can also depress demand.
From this early position relative to the 2022/23 crop year, there is considerable uncertainty
surrounding the outlook. Prices for competing crops, like corn and soybeans, have also
increased over the past year and a half. Input prices have also risen. In combination, these
factors may limit the increase in cotton plantings.
On the demand side, there is uncertainty regarding the strength of the global macroeconomic
environment. While world GDP growth is forecast to remain well-above average, it is expected
to slow in 2022 and beyond. Mill demand may also slow. With the recovery since COVID, there
has been a scramble to refill and reposition product pipelines. As those pipelines stabilize and
fill, the urgency in order placement throughout supply chains may ease.
China Leads 2021/22 Global Cotton Imports
The latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates indicate that world cotton imports
in 2021/22 (August–July) are projected at 46.9 million bales; while 4 percent (2.1 million bales)
below last season’s record, this season’s projection would be the third highest ever. China leads
the way once again, accounting for 22 percent of the total (figure 1). In addition, strong imports
are seen for Bangladesh, Vietnam, and others in support of their expanding cotton mill use.
World cotton production is forecast at 121.6 million bales in 2021/22—the largest in 4 years—
resulting from increased yields and a higher harvested area. Meanwhile, global cotton mill use
in 2021/22 is projected to rise nearly 3 percent to a record 124.3 million bales, as demand for
cotton products continues to improve from 2019/20’s dramatic downturn. World cotton
exports are led by the United States, Brazil, and India, contributing a combined 63 percent of

Page | 24
the total in 2021/22. Global cotton ending stocks and the stocks-to-use ratio are both projected
at their lowest in 3 years, supporting world cotton price levels not seen in a decade.
World Cotton Production Higher in 2021/22
Global cotton production in 2021/22 is projected at 121.6 million bales, marginally below last
month’s projection but 9.9 million bales (9 percent) above last season (figure 3). World
harvested area and yield are each projected higher this season. Global area is forecast at nearly
32.7 million hectares (80.7 million acres) in 2021/22—1.25 million hectares above 2020/21.
The world cotton yield in 2021/22 is projected at a record 811 kilograms (kg) per hectare (723
pounds per acre), compared with the 3-year average of 770 kg per hectare.
Cotton production prospects for the major-producing countries this season are positive—
compared with 2020/21—with China the exception. Production in India—the leading cotton
producer—is forecast at 28 million bales, 400,000 bales above 2020/21. Although lower area
resulted from the monsoon’s variation in key cotton regions in India this season, a higher
projected national yield more than offset the area reduction. Harvested area in India is
estimated at 12.4 million hectares in 2021/22, the lowest in 5 years. India’s yield (492 kg per
hectare) is forecast 7 percent above the 3-year average. In 2021/22, India is forecast to account
for 23 percent of the global cotton crop.
For China, 2021/22 cotton production is projected at 26.75 million bales, 9 percent (2.75
million bales) below a year earlier, with reductions for both area and yield. Harvested area is
forecast at 3.1 million hectares (-4.6 percent), while less favorable growing conditions lowered
this season national yield (1,879 kg per hectare) that is 5 percent below 2020/21’s record.
China is expected to account for 22 percent of global production this season. Pakistan’s cotton
production is forecast at 5.7 million bales (+1.2 million), as a significant rebound in yield to 621

Page | 25
kg per hectare more than offsets a 40-year low in cotton area. Pakistan is forecast to account
for about 5 percent of the global cotton crop in 2021/22.

India's cotton and cotton yarn prices are rising
China Textile News
December 02, 2021
With cotton prices soaring to record highs, Indian cotton yarn prices have risen by more than
20% recently. In the past three months, the price of high-quality 40-count yarn and 60-count
yarn has risen from 330 rupees/kg to 405 rupees/kg, and from 415 rupees/kg to 500
rupees/kg.
After the epidemic restriction was lifted, India's domestic clothing demand has shown an
increasing trend, and yarn prices have kept up with the rise of cotton prices. The Federation of
Indian Textile Industry said that since October last year, the price of cotton has risen by 80%,
but the price of 40 yarns has only risen by 58% in the same period. The agency stated that
although the price of cotton blends, which are popular in southern India, has risen again by
126%, the price of 80 yarns has only increased by 38%.
According to Indian industry bodies, despite the increase in cotton prices, the order for spinning
mills has been scheduled for 45 days. With the increase in yarn demand, advance orders are
also increasing. Therefore, the spinning mill is currently in an advantageous position. Due to the
strong domestic demand for natural fibers, spinning mills now hope to supplement cotton
demand in the next 2 to 3 months. At present, the daily market volume of new cotton in India is
nearly 150,000 bales, and the quality has also improved. Spinners currently have sufficient
cotton stocks.
According to the Federation of Indian Textile Industry, due to strong demand in the apparel
industry due to open tourism and market restrictions, spinning mills still have some profits
even at current cotton prices. However, due to strong domestic demand and fast payment
cycles, Indian cotton exports have slowed. At present, most spinning companies are catering to
the domestic market. In terms of exports, Vietnam and China are the largest buyers of Indian
cotton yarn, followed by the European Union and Turkey.

China market overview in 2021
Fibre2fashion/ Globaltimes
China's garment industry continued to expand in the first three quarters of 2021, reporting
growth in production, revenue and profit, according to official data, which showed that from
January to September, the combined operating revenue of 12,557 major Chinese garment
companies was nearly 1.05 trillion yuan ($163.9 billion), up by 9 per cent year on year.
According to the ministry of industry and information technology, total profits of these
companies rose by 5.8 per cent from the same period last year to hit 45.7 billion yuan, with the
combined output expanding 9.3 per cent year on year to 17.1 billion pieces.
China's online retail sales of garments climbed 15.6 per cent year on year in the period, and its
exports of garments and accessories surged by 25.3 per cent to $122.4 billion, official Chinese
media reported citing the ministry data.
China remains the biggest textile exporter in the world, with net exports of textiles equaling
$154.1 billion in 2020, up 28.9 percent on a yearly basis and accounted for 43.5 percent of
world's total textile exports in terms of value. The figure stood at 10.3 percent in 2000,
according to a report on world trade review by the WTO.
China has remained in the headlines recently as its domestic economy faced headwinds on
several fronts. Earlier this year, it faced global pushback on Xinjiang cotton and many
international brands were vocal about forced labour issues there, which authorities in China
have completely denied. Later, a renewed surge in COVID-19 infections stalled port operations
making transporting goods out of China extremely tough, which is now an even bigger challenge
as more containers pile up at the ports. This has impacted China’s economy tremendously in
the recent months, reflected in China’s Manufacturing PMI for Sep ’21 (49.6) and Oct ’21 (50.6),
indicating very sluggish growth or a possible contraction in China’s manufacturing sector in the
coming months. More recently, power cuts due to coal shortages and the scare of China’s huge
real estate debt made its economic prospects look even worse, as covered in our previous note.
As much as these concerns and the resultant impact reflect China’s dominant participation in
global economy, from a long-term perspective also, China holds a dominant position in global
business and investment decision making. Global investment community continues to be
positive on China, however their perspective likely reflects more of a wait and watch approach.
Some of the big names in global investment industry are still bullish on China, and some are
probably more optimistic than before. This is also seen in the FDI inflows in China this year,
which climbed 23.4 per cent y-o-y to $142 billion in Jan-Oct 2021.
Despite the short-term speculations about US-China trade war affecting their trade relations
and global supply chains becoming more diversified shunning China’s supplier networks,
China’s contribution and relevance to global trade and economy will perhaps continue to grow.
And it’s not just what EU and the US commit in policy terms with respect to China, but also

Page | 28
China’s own foreign partnerships in terms of trade and investments across the world that are
now widely known.
Exports of cotton fabric from China have also remained strong recently, reflecting its dominant
position in this segment. The speculation that China’s cotton and textiles made out of it continue
to be in use has been recorded elsewhere as well as experts recognise China’s bumper cotton
harvest amidst concerns about its forced labour issues. However, strong demand for cotton
fabric from China suggests how difficult it could be to actually diversify input sourcing. This was
also evident when apparel producers were running short on deadlines as supplies of fabrics
from China dried up suddenly last year.
Cotton prices in China’s domestic market have also remained strong. All three major categories
((3128B, 2227B, 2129B) in China have had a steady demand in the last couple of months, with
prices inching upwards.
