Customs data shared by consultants Jernigan Global show direct textile exports from Xinjiang in the first seven months, January-July, reached 2.628 billion RMB, or US$375.42m USD – just a 0.72 per cent decline from a year ago.

Apparel exports from Xinjiang hit 9.459 billion RMB, US$1.351bn, down 14.3 per cent from year ago.
