Canton Fair Footwear Orders Reduced, Many Enterprises "Zero" And Back

　　 第107屆廣交會第三期于近日開幕。在貿易保護主義抬頭的勢頭下，此處展出的五類商品之一的鞋類、紡織類表現如何備受關注。但首日的表現不盡理想，外商下單謹慎，不少企業吃了“零蛋”。    

  　　  當場下單的外商很少    

Guo Min, director of Jieyang Jiahua shoes industry Co., Ltd. said: "I thought that after the economic situation improved this year, there will be more foreign businessmen to negotiate with, but there are not many foreign businessmen coming here.

In the Pazhou Exhibition Hall, purchasers scattered sparsely before the exhibition booth, and no exhibition booth was found.

"In the third period, there will be fewer people, and foreign businessmen will not be able to wait for such a long time. In addition, the total number of foreign businesses this year will be reduced."

Chen Xinyu, manager of Fuzhou white pigeon Plastics Co., Ltd.

Although the first day can not see the order situation, but the Yangcheng Evening News reporter interviewed dozens of shoe enterprises and textile enterprises on the first day, most of the "particles not collected."

"Now everyone just comes to see, talk about the price, the foreign businessman who is very happy to place the order on the spot is very few."

Deng Yinbin, director of Guangzhou Weicheng Trade Co., Ltd.

Qingdao Double Star Import and Export Co., Ltd. Zhou Yan said, although signed two orders, but are old customers, new customers order is very cautious, but also rely on further consultations later.

Businessmen are basically browsing through the booth outside the exhibition hall, and are interested in entering the inside to ask the price.

Relatively speaking, there are more guests to stay in the slippers and summer wear booths before the season. "Now the orders are all short and single, and our business has also made sure that this is only a seasonal product."

Guo Min said.

   　　廣交會成“殺價會”    

Whether it is shoe enterprises or textile and garment enterprises, bargaining power with foreign manufacturers is very weak, and the possibility of raising prices is almost zero.

"Foreign businessmen are very sophisticated now, and they also care about" three goods. "

Chen Xinyu said with a laugh: "the Canton Fair has become a" bargain sale ". Foreign businessmen have identified your family and do not do so, so the price is very low.

Deng Yinbin said: "the profit margins of our textile and garment enterprises are just a few percentage points, and now they are being suppressed, and the profit margins are even smaller, so we have to hope for quantity."

Industry analysis shows that from the end of last year, the cost of shoemaking and textile industry has risen considerably, the cost of labor and the cost of shipping are rising, and the space of the shoe enterprises to compress the cost by their own ability has been very limited.

Guo Min said that since the end of last year, various raw materials began to rise in price, the cost of producing shoes has increased a lot, but the price has not been raised. This is a headache for everyone.

"Coupled with the expectation of RMB appreciation, corporate profits will be further compressed, which is no doubt a fatal blow to our manufacturing industry, and we do not know whether we can get through in the second half of the year."

Huzhou Huayuan Tian Chang import and Export Co., Ltd. Ma Jie said.

    　　鞋企最擔心技術壁壘    

In December last year, the European Commission ignored the decision to extend anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes for 15 months, and the tax rate remained unchanged at 16.5%.

In April 20th, the Chinese delegation to the World Trade Organization formally requested the WTO to set up an expert group to investigate and decide whether the anti-dumping measures adopted by the EU on Chinese leather shoes violated international trade rules.

According to the latest statistics from China Leather Industry Association, the previous anti-dumping duty resulted in a 20% reduction in the output of Chinese leather shoes exported to Europe.

For more Chinese shoe companies, the anti-dumping duty is, after all, a trade protection measure for leather shoes, which is more worrying for more Chinese shoe companies.

"Now some of the technical standards they require, especially the standards of chemical substances, are difficult to achieve at low cost."

Shantou central yuan trade director said.
