ReturnShipments of silk products have taken a major beating as the Covid pandemic has shrunk the demand in key markets of Europe and the United States, exporters said.
印度出口商稱，由于疫情降低了歐洲和美國(guó)主要市場(chǎng)的需求，絲綢產(chǎn)品的出貨量受到了很大的打擊。
The exports are down by 28 per cent in dollar terms during the April-September period this year over corresponding last year. Shipments stood at $79.16 million or ?591.72 crore during April-September as against $111.19 million or ?791.89 crore in the same period last year.
今年4月至9月期間，印度絲綢產(chǎn)品出口額為0.7916億美元（折合591.72千萬(wàn)盧比），與去年同期1.1119億美元（折合791.89千萬(wàn)盧比）相比，下降了28％。
“The spread of Covid and lockdown in the US and Europe are the main reasons for the decline in exports. The outlook for the rest of the year is not that great as the spreading of a second Covid wave in these regions is a big worry,” said Bimal Mawandia, Chairman of the Indian Silk Export Promotion Council. Mawandia further said that for the current financial year, exports of silk goods could be lower by 40-50 per cent over last year’s $350 million.
疫情的傳播和歐美的封鎖政策是印度絲綢產(chǎn)品出口下降的主要原因。印度絲綢出口促進(jìn)委員會(huì)主席比馬爾·馬萬(wàn)迪亞表示:“疫情在這些地區(qū)的第二次蔓延令人擔(dān)憂，因此今年剩余時(shí)間前景也并不樂(lè)觀?！瘪R萬(wàn)迪亞進(jìn)一步說(shuō)，“在本財(cái)政年度，絲綢商品的出口額可能比去年的3.5億美元下降40％至50％。”
“In the first three to four months of the current financial year, the exports were down by 80-90 per cent due to the lockdown and other logistics issues. As silk is a luxury item, buyers are very cautious,” he said.
“在當(dāng)前財(cái)政年度的前三到四個(gè)月，由于歐美的封鎖政策以及其他海運(yùn)問(wèn)題，絲綢出口下降了80-90％。絲綢作為一種奢侈品，買家也比較謹(jǐn)慎?！彼f(shuō)。
Imports, too, suffer
India, the second largest silk producer in the world after China, also has a big domestic market. In fact, India imports raw silk to meet its domestic demand.
印度作為僅次于中國(guó)的世界第二大絲綢生產(chǎn)國(guó)，其國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)也很大。實(shí)際上，印度也進(jìn)口生絲以滿足國(guó)內(nèi)需求。
Moreover, it’s not just the silk goods exports that have been impacted. Even the imports of raw silk, yarn and fabrics have taken a beating due to the Covid. Silk goods imports fell sharply to ?272 crore ($36.22 million) during H1 this fiscal from ?781 crore ($110.15 million) in the same period last year, on account of sharp decline in import of raw silk and yarn. H1 raw silk imports were valued at ?203.92 crore ($27.17 million) as compared to ?588.45 crore ($82.92 million) in the same period last year.
此外，不僅僅是絲綢制成品的出口受到影響，生絲、紗線和綢緞等前道產(chǎn)品的進(jìn)口也遭受疫情的打擊。本財(cái)政年上半年，由于以往占據(jù)大部分的生絲和紗線的進(jìn)口急劇下滑，絲綢商品進(jìn)口從去年同期的1.1015億美元（折合781千萬(wàn)盧比）急劇下降至0.3622億美元（折合272千萬(wàn)盧比）。生絲進(jìn)口額為0.2717億美元（折合203.92千萬(wàn)盧比），而去年同期為0.8292億美元（折合588.45千萬(wàn)盧比）。
