Dynamic exports at the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
Textile, footwear and garment exports to Central Asia and Russia via ports in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have increased by more than 60% from similar period last year
According to information released by CLIA, the China Leather Industry Association, based on the latest statistics released by Urumqi Customs, China has exported 16.57 billion yuan (roughly 2.5 billion U.S. dollars) worth of textiles and garments through ports in Xinjiang.
70% of exports went to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
Following the China-proposed Belt and Road initiative and regional economic development, Xinjiang, which borders eight countries and boasts 29 national ports, has grown into a trading hub for garments, shoes, and daily necessities.
The same source confirmed plans are in place to build Xinjiang into a major textile base by 2020 to facilitate exports to its western neighbors.
