Kazakhstan'S Light Industry Textile Industry Continues To Decline

From 2000 to 2007, the proportion of textile and clothing industry in total industrial output dropped from 2% to 0.6%.

At present, ha light industry products are being gradually squeezed out of the domestic market.

This trend continues until 1999.

Later, the Kazakhstan government adopted support measures, by revising the tax law, canceling fines, extending the tax payment period, implementing the zero value-added tax rate, and exempting the import tariff of raw materials, which has a positive effect on the resumption of production.

However, with the cancellation of state support measures in 2002, light industry has gone downhill again.

In 2007, the output value of textile and clothing industry in Kazakhstan was 35 billion 500 million, which was 15.3% lower than that in 2006.

At present, the man-made and physical wastage rate of Harbin's production equipment is about 60 - 80%. Even after the technology pformation or the turnkey project in the 80s of last century, its equipment has been used for more than 10-20 years.

Under the situation of increasing competitiveness of foreign products, ha's light industry is becoming more and more prominent in terms of resources and technology.

At present, many countries have implemented systematic support policies for light industry, such as China's customs tax policy is more flexible, low tax and tariff free practices are adopted, tariff free or low tariff is prescribed, and export is exempt from customs duties except some raw materials and semi finished products.

Another example is Russia's aggressive tariff policy and flexible tax policy. For example, in 2001, to prevent the large-scale export of leather raw materials, Russia increased its export tariffs to 500 euros per ton, and imposed zero tariffs on the import of leather and shoe making equipment and parts, and reduced the value-added tax of children's fur clothing to 10%.

In Kyrgyzstan, light industry enterprises only need to pay a small amount of fixed taxes by franchising, and their products are actively seeking to occupy a place in Ha textile market.

In Turkey, the government has changed the tax policy to protect domestic products from the impact of Chinese products. Since January 1, 2005, 42 import products from China have been set limits, and the raw materials and product tax have been waived from the light industry enterprises since 2006.

For example, the cotton planting industry has shown a good momentum. That is to say, a ONTUSTIK free economic zone has been established in South ha state. In the last five years, ten thousand new jobs will be added, and the enterprise income tax, land and property tax will be exempted, and the VAT zero tax rate will be implemented.

In 2007, the sown area of cotton increased by 20.5% compared with 2002, and cotton production increased by 22.4%.

Currently, Kazakhstan Development Bank provides financing for 7 investment projects in the light industry, with an amount of US $196 million.

Kazakhstan's leasing company has leased project financing to 6 light industry sectors, with a total sum of US $125 million. The Kazakh investment foundation has implemented the pformation project of semi wool primary processing plant.
