At present, the company has completed the construction of the first phase of the garment industry base project in Myanmar, Cambodia and other places, and the second phase of the garment industry base is under construction. As business volume continues to increase, the company’s demand for clothing raw materials is increasing. Since the company currently purchases all the raw materials needed to produce and process clothing overseas, the supply of raw materials cannot be fully guaranteed.� It is also not conducive to reducing raw material procurement costs. Therefore, the company closely follows the previous garment industry base project and plans to use the raised funds to build this Myanmar textile industry base project and Vietnam textile dyeing and finishing construction project, extend to the upstream of the garment industry chain, improve the company’s industrial chain layout, and reduce the cost of raw materials through scale advantages costs, participate in the international division of labor, and balance trade risks.

Jiangsu Cathay stated that the company adheres to its main business of import and export, actively improves the level of supply bases, accelerates the implementation of overseas layout strategies, seizes development opportunities such as the “Belt and Road” and RCEP agreements, and operates in Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Egypt and other countries. The construction of supply bases at key nodes of the “Belt and Road Initiative” promotes the company’s transformation from “China supply chain integration” to “world supply chain integration”. In the next step, the company will continue to focus on Southeast Asia and further expand the construction of overseas production bases.
Southeast Asia has always been a popular target market for Chinese companies going overseas. From large manufacturers to small and medium-sized manufacturers, companies of different sizes choose to start here to expand globally.

The structural factors that have underpinned the growth of Southeast Asian economies over the past five or 10 years remain in place, including socioeconomic factors such as middle-class growth, rising per capita income, and accelerated urbanization. In the long term, these structural factors will continue to support growth and investment activity in the Southeast Asian market.
