凡客诚品试水海外生产

China’s largest independent online clothing retailer by sales has started shifting production overseas in an effort to cut labour rates and beat the country’s rapidly rising production costs.

中国销售额最大的独立在线服装零售商已开始将生产转移至海外，以求削减劳动力成本，避开中国快速上涨的生产成本。

Vancl is sourcing a small part of its production from Bangladesh on a trial basis and plans to increase the proportion of clothes made outside China.

凡客诚品(Vancl)正在试验将一小部分生产转移至孟加拉国，并计划增加在中国以外生产的服装比重。

Vancl said the main incentive for the move was cheaper labour costs. “One Bangladesh worker’s monthly salary would be Rmb500 to Rmb600 ($80 to $95), while one Chinese worker now costs at least Rmb2,000 per month, it said, noting that even after paying higher transport and other costs it could save 5-10 per cent of total costs by outsourcing.

凡客诚品表示，此举的主要原因在于海外劳动力成本较低。该公司表示：“一个孟加拉国工人的月薪介于500至600元人民币之间，而现在雇用一个中国工人的成本是每月大约2000元人民币。这家零售商指出，即便在计入较高的运输和其它成本后，生产转移到海外仍可使其节省5%至10%的总成本。

Difficulty recruiting workers was another reason for the move, Vancl said, noting that the “new generation of Chinese workers did not like factory jobs. Manufacturers across China in labour-intensive industries say younger migrants – many of whom have grown up in cities – aspire to service or white-collar jobs.
