HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): Vietnam's textile industry has been urged to source for raw materials from Malaysia and India while its main supplier China rides out the storm created by the outbreak of Covid-19.

Phạm Xuân Hồng, president of HCM City’s textile association said textile firms might start experiencing a shortage of raw materials by the second quarter, as Chinese firms have said there would be no outgoing shipments before the end of February.
