As part of Saigontex 2016 textile exhibition, concluded recently in Ho Chi Minh City, Taiwan displayed the prowess of its industry, including areas of eco-textiles, function and fashion textiles, dyes and trimmings.
Showcased under the theme, Think Taiwan for Textiles, Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) promoted the island’s unique sample at this year’s exhibits.
Saigontex 2016, which witnessed the participation of 1,063 exhibitors from 24 countries or regions, was held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) from March 30 to April 2.
At the exhibition, TTF promoted the island’s textile industry under the three broad categories of fashion, functionality and eco-friendliness.
Export of Taiwan’s products to Vietnam has grown substantially in the recent years, owing to the country’s trade ties under ASEAN. Besides, Taiwan has also expressed interest in joining the TPP, of which Vietnam is already a member. Taiwan hopes to promote a proposed Free Trade Agreement of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) amid multilateral efforts to boost economic integration in the region.
TTF’s Textile Export Promotion Project ot TEPP, organised by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Bureau of Foreign Trade, promotes the textile industry by organising trade missions, collaborating meetings and ensuring attendance at international shows, like Saigontex. The country’s quality of textile products is evident in its partnerships with brands like Decathlon, Oasis, Thai Tuan, Garmex, Lime Orange, Vinatex, Poong In and Walmart.
