Quanzhou Shoes And Clothing Trade Competitiveness Ranks Among The Thirty-Sixth In The Country.

A few days ago, "China Customs" magazine released the "list of Chinese cities' foreign trade competitiveness in 2007", and announced the top 100 Chinese foreign trade cities in 2007.

The city's ranking rose from forty-fourth in 2006 to thirty-sixth.

Yesterday, Quanzhou Customs said that the upgrading of Quanzhou's city rankings indicates that Quanzhou's foreign trade competitiveness has been enhanced.

It is reported that "China's list of foreign trade competitiveness" is composed of horizontal competitiveness, structural competitiveness, efficiency competitiveness and development competition.

Competitiveness, potential competitiveness and so on 5 two level indicators, 24 three level indicators integrated.

According to the responsible person of Quanzhou customs, the promotion of Quanzhou's ranking is mainly due to the structural competitiveness entering the top 30, ranking the thirteenth place, and the only city in Fujian province with the structural competitiveness of 20.

This shows that Quanzhou's foreign trade structure is more reasonable, the technological content of export products has been improved, the ability of product development and market development is strong, products and markets are diversified, and it has stronger ability to deal with risks and resist external shocks.

At the same time, the person in charge also said that although the other 4 two level indicators, Quanzhou did not enter the 30 mandatory list, but there is still great room for development and potential, so we can take some measures to enhance.

Quanzhou customs recommends that Quanzhou should further play the advantages of Haixi, increase economic and trade cooperation with Taiwan, speed up the construction of infrastructure such as energy and pportation, integrate and optimize port functions, enhance the attractiveness, radiation and comprehensive services capabilities of the surrounding areas, expand the scope of radiation to the central and Western Regions, and give full play to the location advantages of "Haibei to the South and east to West alliance", promote the balance of imports and exports, reduce the trade surplus, and speed up the pformation of "big supply market" to "big export market", so as to raise the level competitiveness.

Because Quanzhou's foreign trade mainly relies on traditional low value-added industries such as textile, clothing, shoes and hat packaging, and the homogeneity of industries is relatively high, which results in relatively low foreign trade benefits in our city. Therefore, Quanzhou should speed up the development of high value-added industries such as optoelectronic energy, shipbuilding and textile machinery, and actively introduce key projects, such as leading projects, good efficiency, strong driving force, low resource consumption, leading projects, backbone projects and high-end manufacturing projects, which can support radiation.

The competitiveness of development is composed of 4 levels of three indicators, namely, the average import of equipment, the actual utilization of foreign capital per capita, the proportion of 500 powerful enterprises entering the foreign trade, and the import and export of special regulatory regions.
