Abstract: The textile and apparel industry is not only one of the priority industries of Ethiopia′s manufacturing industry and one of the key areas of China's investment in Africa. Its sustainable development plays an important role in achieving Ethiopian export-oriented economic goals and promoting sustainable overseas investment of China's textile and apparel industry. This paper explores the constraints to the sustainable development of Ethiopian textile and apparel industry through a text-mining approach by interviewing seven senior experts who have invested in or assisted the textile and garment industry in Ethiopia based on the grounded theory. The results show that the sustainable development of Ethiopian textile and apparel industry is mainly constrained by 12 factors such as limited labor force quality, limited supply of raw materials and relatively backward industrial infrastructure. Among them, labor force literacy, standard system and training of workers in enterprises have a significant impact on the sustainable development of the textile and garment industry in Ethiopia, which requires more attention from the government and relevant industry management departments. In addition, this paper gives some countermeasures and suggestions for Ethiopian textile and garment industry to get rid of the development dilemma and promote the sustainable development of the industry from the enterprise, industry and government levels, which can provide reference for Chinese textile enterprises to formulate investment strategies in Ethiopia and the Ethiopian government to carry out sustainable development plans for the textile and apparel industry.

摘要： 纺织服装业是埃塞俄比亚(简称埃塞)制造业优先发展的行业之一，也是中国对非投资的重点领域之一，其可持续发展对埃塞实现外向型经济发展战略和促进中国纺织服装行业“走出去”的可持续海外投资都具有重要作用。本文借助扎根理论的研究方法，1对1访谈了7位投资或援助埃塞纺织服装业的资深专家，采用文本挖掘方法，探讨埃塞纺织服装业可持续发展的制约因素。结果表明：当前埃塞纺织服装业的可持续发展主要受到劳动力素养有限、原材料供应受限和产业基础设施相对落后等12个因素的制约；其中，劳动力素养、标准体系和企业工人培训等对埃塞纺织服装业可持续发展的影响较为显著，需要埃塞政府和相关行业管理部门予以更多关注。另外本文从企业、产业和政府层面给出了埃塞纺织服装业摆脱发展窘境，促进产业可持续发展的若干对策和建议，可为中国纺织企业制定对埃塞投资战略和埃塞政府和相关行政管理部门进行纺织服装业可持续发展规划提供参考。
