Fluctuations In Raw Material Prices, Foreign Businessmen Wait For &Nbsp; Zhejiang Export Exports Sprint.

Hangzhou customs latest data show that since September, Zhejiang's monthly exports have declined for the second consecutive month, of which, in October, exports were 16 billion 690 million US dollars, compared with September.

What will the monthly export decline mean for two consecutive months? Will it continue to slide? What is the current state of survival of the export enterprises? Today, the reporter interviewed the relevant enterprises in the province.

The slide is expected to stabilize at the end of the year.

After July, Huang Mandong found a little wrong: 8, 9, and 10 months,

Huang Mandong is the two business manager of Zhejiang Huanyu Valve Co., Ltd., which is a Yuhuan enterprise, and 80% of its products are exported.

However, for the declining trend of exports in the second half of this year, Huang Mandong's response was not panic.

His analysis is that the decline is mainly due to the price fluctuation of raw materials. Because it is uncertain when the dust will settle, foreign businessmen will not dare to place the order. "The order itself is not a big problem. It's all in the hands of customers."

There is no lack of sympathy among Huang Mandong.

"We have many orders, and in September, we got a German order of 80 million yuan.

In order to deliver the goods on schedule, some of them have to be outsourced to counterparts in Shanghai and Changzhou, "said Yu Yingyun, executive deputy general manager of Ningbo Xinyou PV Co. Ltd.

Zhang Handong, director of the Provincial International Economic and Trade Research Center, also believes that the biggest problem of export enterprises is not the reduction of orders.

If the order itself is not a problem, how long will the current monthly export slide last? For this reason, Huang Mandong's judgment is that when the price of raw materials is relatively stable after the end of November and early December, customers will release the order.

The "universal" order is now available at the beginning of December.

Taking into account the export delivery cycle factors, exports may also decline in November, but it should be stable in December.

But Zhang Handong believes that the growth trend before and after this year's export is basically a foregone conclusion.

He expects that the growth of Zhejiang's foreign trade will be around 15% this year, and the growth rate in the next few years may be further reduced.

Compared with the decline in export volume, the sharp shrinkage of profits is the most troublesome problem for export enterprises.

"Hanlong will" is a garment export enterprise in Hangzhou.

In the past few years, exports could reach US $12 million a year, but this year we can only achieve $12 million.

Qin Guoliang, chairman of the board, reluctantly indicated that there were many orders, but they were "flow sheets" with low design requirements and low prices. "The profit is too low, and I don't want to earn this money".

The shrinking of profits also plagued the "universal environment".

Huang Mandong said that by the end of July this year, the export growth rate of "universal" has been considerable, and the production line has been running at full capacity.

But in fact, profits are basically unchanged from last year.

In the second half of the year, profits will surely come down as exports decrease.

Maintaining profits depends on the amount of money taken and profits are high costs.

In Cixi, where household electrical appliance enterprises are gathered together, the head of a small household electrical appliance export enterprise that produces ironing machines told reporters that since this year, all kinds of costs of enterprises are going up. The price sensitivity of foreign buyers is getting higher and higher, the price is becoming lower and lower, and they lack the ability to bargain with foreign buyers. Her enterprises now export only 2% to 3% of their profits.

Of course, there is a way out for both ends.

"Only by developing more new products, the profit margins of new products can still be achieved."

Vice president Huang Heqi of HUAYU electric, Cixi, told reporters that, like their newly developed high-grade electric iron, because the new patented design was adopted, it sold 300 euros at retail price in Europe, and the added value was much higher than the conventional electric iron.

"Don't be obsessed with high growth. The key is the quality of growth."

Zhang Handong said.

Another window opens.

There is a cloud in the West: God closes a door for you, and opens a window for you.

Reviewing this year's trend of foreign trade is quite appropriate.

When export is becoming more and more difficult, many export enterprises have never touched the domestic demand market. Now they are suddenly rediscovered and become glamorous.

"Even the foreign luxury enterprises are competing to enter the Chinese market. Why do we Chinese enterprises do not?" as the leading enterprise in the domestic silk industry, Wu Jingen, vice president of "Kay hi Ya", told reporters that the conditions for domestic sale are ripe now.

The experience of Cixi Jia Teng Furniture Co., Ltd. is more typical.

The home furnishing enterprise, whose main product is wooden plastic shelving, was almost gone when the financial crisis broke out in 2008. General manager Zhu Jianbo was forced to sell products on domestic online shopping websites, but he did not expect to be popular.

Last year, the company achieved about 20000000 in domestic sales, 30 million this year, and almost no export sales.

In Cixi, where export dependence is quite high, this year, domestic sales have become fashionable. Moreover, many enterprises have seen an e-business with the least risk and the lowest cost.

Not long ago, Yu Xuehui, President of the Cixi Internet Commerce Association, completed the registration of a joint venture with a local children's clothing exporters.

Yu Xuehui and his professional team will help the children's clothing company which has never been sold in the domestic market through the online shopping platform, and open the domestic market.

And this is only the beginning. Yu Xuehui's "network business building" has been quietly opened. Its goal is to provide more professional services for online marketing to more export enterprises in Cixi, and become the "Cixi made" base camp to expand domestic demand.

Zhejiang's foreign trade growth rate continued to fall in October

After September, Zhejiang's import and export growth rate continued to fall.

Reporters learned from Hangzhou Customs recently that in October, Zhejiang realized import and export 24 billion US dollars, up 21.5% over the same period last year, but compared to September, the growth rate dropped by 15.4%.

Among them, exports amounted to 16 billion 690 million US dollars, a decrease of 16.1%, and imports of US $7 billion 310 million, a decrease of 13.5%.

Affected by the economic downturn in Europe and the United States, the growth rate of imports and exports to the European and American markets has been slowing down this year.

In the first 10 months, our province's imports and exports to the EU and the United States were 55 billion 830 million US dollars and 34 billion 910 million US dollars respectively, up 18.4% and 16.8% respectively from the same period last year, all obviously lower than the average import and export growth rate of the whole province.

Surprisingly, the slowdown in export growth in our province is not due to the traditional exports of clothing, shoes and socks.

Customs statistics show that since the beginning of this year, the traditional export "fist products" textile yarns, fabrics and products, footwear and so on still maintained a rapid growth, higher than the average growth rate of the whole province, while the export of electromechanical products grew slowly during the same period.

In the first 10 months, the export of mechanical and electrical products increased by 17.2% compared with the same period last year, which was 3.9 percentage points lower than that of the whole province.

The slow growth of foreign-invested enterprises and state-owned enterprises is also a reason for the slowdown of foreign trade in our province.

Compared with the import and export growth rate of private enterprises in the first 10 months, the import and export of foreign invested enterprises in our province during the same period was 89 billion 400 million US dollars, an increase of 18.4% over the same period last year, which is lower than the average growth rate of the province's imports and exports by 5.2 percentage points. The import and export of state-owned enterprises is 25 billion 840 million US dollars, up 20.1% over the same period last year, which is lower than the average growth rate of 3.5 percent of the total imports and exports of the whole province.

Affected by the slow growth of foreign trade in foreign investment enterprises, the proportion of processing trade in foreign trade also dropped to its lowest level in 20 years.

According to statistics, in the first 10 months of this year, the total foreign trade import and export value of our province is US $254 billion 800 million, which has exceeded the level of the whole year of 2010, an increase of 23.6% over the previous year, and the growth rate is higher than that of Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shanghai.

Among them, exports of $178 billion 590 million, continue to list in Guangdong and Jiangsu in the third place; imports $76 billion 210 million, more than last year's import scale.
