巴西对阿拉伯国家的纺织品出口高达300万美元

Brazilian textile exports to Arab countries hit $3 mn

Brazilian exports of textiles and clothing to the Arab World has surged during the first two months of 2017, increasing by 87.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2016. Huge demand for synthetic fabric and sisal rope used in ships and rigs led to the increase in total sales reaching $3 million up from $1.6 million in January and February 2016.

The export figures have been announced by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC). The Brazilian Textile and Apparel Industry Association (ABIT) reported that sales from rope exports accounted for $1 million, while beachwear, textile yarns and inner garments also rose during the two months.

ABIT's survey of exports include various parts in the production chain including raw materials such as fibers, yarns and filaments as well as technical and non-fabric industrial textiles and clothing.

Arab countries continue to be one of Brazil's largest markets for clothing, particularly for segments such as party wear, children's and beach wear. Based on ABIT's latest data, the UAE has the highest imports of Brazilian textiles and clothing during this period, followed by Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Lebanon.

To boost the Brazilian textile and apparel industry exports, ABIT and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Agency (Apex-Brazil) have launched the Texbrasil program which serves to benefit affiliated exporters. Statistics showed that companies which have participated in the program expanded their export markets to Arab countries by 40 per cent in 2016, valued at $2.9 million in 2015 to $4.1 million in 2016.

巴西对阿拉伯国家的纺织品出口高达300万美元

2017年头两个月，巴西对阿拉伯国家的纺织品和服装出口较2016年同期同比上涨了87.5%，由于对在船舶和钻井平台上使用人造纤维和琼麻绳的需求上涨，使得该期间总销售额高达300万美元，2016年同期总销售额为160万美元。

该数据从阿拉伯巴西商会处获悉。据巴西纺织品和服装行业协会称，绳索出口总额为100万美元，而这两个月期间，沙滩装、纺织纱线和内衣的出口也有所增长。

巴西纺织品和服装行业协会的调查包括生产链中不同的项目，其中包括原料如纤维、纱线和长丝，到产业用织物和无纺面料(用于民用建筑等行业)以及衣服。

阿拉伯国家继续成为巴西最大的服装市场,特别是聚会服装、童装和沙滩装。 据该协会最新数据显示，在此期间，阿联酋成为巴西纺织品和服装最大的进口国，其次是阿尔及利亚、埃及、摩洛哥和黎巴嫩。

为促进巴西纺织品和服装行业的出口，巴西纺织品和服装行业协会联手巴西贸易投资促进机构发起了Texbrasil长远拓展计划。隶属该项目的公司出口到阿拉伯国家去年扩大了40%，从2015年的290万美元到2016年的410万美元。
