The textile and garment industry is forecast to face difficulties in realising its export turnover target of 39 billion USD this year due to unprecedented severe impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a report of the Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex), since June 2021, when the pandemic broke out in southern localities, production and business activities of garment firms have been facing numerous difficulties. In just one month, over 40,000 workers, mainly in the southern region, were laid off.| The proportion of textile and garment factories that have closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic has reached 30-35 percent, according to the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas).
