The Overall Good Situation Of Wenzhou'S Foreign Trade This Year

This year, due to the global economic downturn and intensified

The impact has made China's overall foreign trade enterprises stand trial.

However, the "encirclement of thousands of heavy metals, I am self determined", the bad external environment, does not damage the overall good situation of Wenzhou's foreign trade this year. The statistics in the first five months of this year will not decrease or increase. In 1~5 months, Wenzhou realized import and export value of US $7 billion 765 million, an increase of 0.9% over the same period last year, of which exports 6 billion 629 million US dollars, an increase of 3.1%.

Three carriages run forward.

According to the statistics of Wenzhou Municipal Bureau of statistics, from the perspective of product mix, the export situation of traditional labor intensive products such as clothing and footwear in China is very weak this year. Exports increased by 0.6% and 0.8% respectively from 1 to May, while the three carriages of glasses, lighters and electromechanical products made great progress in making money for foreigners. In May, glasses, lighters and mechanical and electrical products increased by 23.79%, 27.38% and 18.8% respectively.

In the first 5 months, the export of mechanical and electrical products was 2 billion 777 million US dollars, accounting for 41.9% of the total export volume of the city, an increase of 10.1% over the previous year.

Among them, the valve industry of Electromechanical industry is faster and faster, the highest in May, reaching 56.15% in the first 5 months, reaching 35.51%.

"Although the domestic market situation of valves is not good this year, it has dropped by 1/3 compared with the same period last year, but the export situation is gratifying. Many international valve giants have come directly to Yongjia to find our business cooperation, such as valve giant tycoon group, Shell and so on, have sent people to Yongjia to look for enterprises, which shows that our brand influence and quality have been internationally recognized."

Chen Wenrong, Secretary General of Zhejiang pump and valve industry association, told reporters.

according to

Commerce Bureau data show that in May this year, the export value of Wenzhou valve increased by 56.15%, which has been rare in recent years.

"According to past years, the average annual export growth of valves in January and February is faster, and the momentum of growth this year to May is still so good. In such a situation, exports will continue to grow in the second half of this year."

Chen Wenrong believes that this year's valve export situation is good, but also because they actively explore the market.

This year, valve enterprises in Yongjia, based on the original exporting countries such as the United States, Russia and Europe, also actively expand emerging markets, such as Brazil, South Africa, India and other developing countries, and some large enterprises such as super valves and UVic valves have set up their own brands and set up their own outlets in the United States, the Middle East, North America and other markets.

And the development of new channels is also the only way for Wenzhou lighter industry to go against the market this year.

According to the data of Wenzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the total export volume of Wenzhou lighter industry increased by 13.18% in the first 5 months of this year.

However, as the most representative of Wenzhou's characteristics, the largest share of the global market, and one of the most famous traditional industries in Wenzhou, export situation is not ideal for various reasons in recent years.

"The first 5 months of this year increased from the same period last year, mainly because the base was relatively low last year.

In addition, this year, some enterprises in the industry began to widen their channels, which made some sparkle in the difficulties.

Huang Fajing, President of Wenzhou lighters Association, said.

In Huang's view, the market of Wenzhou lighters is slowly shrinking, especially in the two largest markets in Europe and the United States. The share of retail sales in the two markets has dropped 60% this year.

In order to make up for this loss, "in early 2012, we began to expand the Japanese market. At present, six or seven enterprises in the lighter market have obtained all aspects of the certification of imported lighters in Japan, which, to a certain extent, made up for the decline of other markets.

However, Wenzhou lighters exported to Japan are mostly used as advertising gifts, such as the purchase of tobacco and other commodities.

Huang Fajing said there was a lot of work to be done to really open the market.

Three foreigners love to buy.

Wenzhou Business Bureau data show that from 1 to May this year, our exports to the United States, ASEAN and Russia were 8.58, 4.72 and 450 million US dollars, up 19.3%, 7.9% and 17%, respectively, representing 26.8% of the total export volume of the whole city.

The foreigners in these places most like to buy Wenzhou.

From the top ranking export enterprises, the majority of shoe companies are seen.

In May this year, the footwear products exported to the United States by the Wenzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau were 10 million 800 thousand pairs and valued at 69 million 370 thousand US dollars, up 23.23% and 21.05% respectively.

In addition to shoes, Russian buyers are also interested in building materials and auto parts in Wenzhou. Among the top four enterprises, two are building materials and auto parts enterprises.

As for the obvious increase of Wenzhou enterprises' export to these three regions, the Municipal Bureau of Commerce believes that an important reason is that these export market economies are relatively better than those of other parts of the world, especially in the United States, and the economic recovery is getting better and the demand for imports has increased.

However, affected by the weak economic recovery in Europe, the total export volume of the city to the EU dropped by 7.3% in the first half of May this year, with the most obvious decline in exports to Germany, Holland and Italy, down by 22.2%, 22.9% and 12.3% respectively.

In addition, due to the tightening of domestic and international environment, the export growth rate of processing trade in our city continued to decline. In 1~5 months, the total export volume of processing trade was 403 million US dollars, down 25.2% from the same period last year, and the decline was 24.2% larger than that in the first quarter.

European trade accounts for 40% of Wenzhou's exports. The European debt crisis has a direct impact on the export of our city, especially in some industries with large export base, such as shoes and clothing. The growth of footwear exports this year can still maintain a slight increase in the number of exports last year, while the European Trade Department of Wenzhou's Commerce Bureau said.

It was 1.21% lower than the same period last year.

"The situation of exporting to Europe this year is not optimistic. There are more than 2700 enterprises in our shoe and leather enterprises. Large enterprises can also protect themselves. Small and medium-sized enterprises either reduce production scale or stop production."

Wenzhou shoe leather industry association, a responsible person said, "orders do not say, the existing orders are also difficult to ensure that will not be lost, often there is no last ton, the original one year's long term orders become short list, the order quantity from the original ten thousand single to thousands of single, or even hundreds of single."

Re judgement and slow optimism

Wenzhou Business Bureau Foreign Trade Department responsible person thinks, from the data, before the May Wenzhou foreign trade export although partial showing some highlights, but because of the large number of industries in the growth rate is falling, a small number of industries are increasing, so for the overall pull little.

In addition to the European debt crisis, the impact of financial turmoil since last year on foreign trade and real economy began this year.

The volume of exports began to pick up in May. It is gratifying. Then the foreign trade situation depends on whether the volume of exports in June will continue to be judged.

Professor Zhang Li, School of business, Wenzhou University, said that in the first 5 months, Wenzhou's exports were facing internal and external attacks. The external global economic downturn, especially the impact of the European debt crisis, reduced the order of Wenzhou's foreign trade enterprises, while the cost of running the internal enterprises was high, especially the two labor-intensive and relatively large export industries.

At present, the export situation of our city is not optimistic in the second half of the year.

Entrepreneur and boss

When a large economist came to Wenzhou to talk privately, she talked about Wenzhou businessmen. "Wenzhou bosses are many but entrepreneurs are few."

The implication is that Wenzhou businessmen do not have a long-term vision. It is not enough to make enterprises bigger and stronger to make a century old shop. Most businessmen only want to make a day.

At that time, when I heard a joke, I heard it.

But the latest foreign trade statistics remind me of this economist's words.

In recent years, the economic environment at home and abroad is indeed a bit worse. The private lending crisis and the European debt crisis have all brought about a great impact on the export of our city, but it does not mean that there is no way out.

Once upon a time, the export of shoes, clothes, lighters, glasses and other industries in our city was amazing. Some people used to make a doggerel. "Orders are infinite, but people are few."

At that time, it was estimated that the money earned would flow into the pockets of businessmen. If the money did not turn into Ferrari and Porsche running around the street, one or two of them would be used to open up new markets. Would it be so bleak now?

At that time, only a precipice was found on the precipice.

The Yongjia valve, which attracts the eyes of global enterprises, lighters for new markets in Japan, and photovoltaic enterprises in Southeast Asia.

These enterprises, which can take a leisurely breath in the severe winter, rely on the entrepreneurial vision.

When a boss is in a good economy, entrepreneurs are good at bad times.
