Phạm Xuân Hồng, president of HCM City’s textile association said textile firms might start experiencing a shortage of raw materials by the second quarter, as Chinese firms have said there would be no outgoing shipments before the end of February.
Hồng thus advised firms to pool their resources to keep their workshops running through March and April while talking to suppliers in Malaysia and India. Industry leaders and economic experts warned that although some firms may still have some breathing space having stocked up before the Lunar New Year holidays, things could get tricky soon.
If China’s industries cannot resume operations by the end of February, firms must start looking to alternative sources, possibly South Korea and the EU.
