Zhejiang: Foreign Trade Is Developing At A High &Nbsp, And The Spinning And Weaving Industry Is The Champion.

Hangzhou customs reported that Zhejiang exported 116 billion 240 million US dollars in 1-8 months, an increase of 39.4% over the same period last year, higher than the national average growth rate of 4 percentage points, and the export scale surpassed Shanghai, ranking third in Guangdong and Jiangsu.

Among them, Textiles and clothing Traditional industries, such as traditional industries, still have the advantage, with an export growth of US $32 billion 150 million, an increase of 26.5% over the previous year, accounting for 28% of the total value of Zhejiang's exports. The proportion of exports of electromechanical products and high-tech products is far below the national average.

The above situation has attracted the attention of governor Lv Zushan of Zhejiang. He recently said that the current Zhejiang Traditional industry High proportion, general trade ratio and serious dependence on exports have led to the phenomenon of "high input, high consumption, high emission" and "low cost, low price and low profit", which seriously restricted the transformation and upgrading of Zhejiang's economy.

Shi Jinchuan, a member of the Zhejiang provincial government advisory committee, believes that Zhejiang's export oriented strategy is difficult to sustain. It is imperative to implement the strategy of competitiveness orientation in order to coordinate two international and domestic resources and two markets.

Container " Explosion chamber Secret worry

Over the past few days, Ma Lifang is worried about a shipment of goods to South America.

Because of the tight shipping space in the South American route, Ma Lifang's cargo could not be shipped and was forced to stay at the terminal container yard. Her Ningbo Huafu import and Export Co., Ltd. has to pay a lot of extra storage charges.

"If we fail to deliver the goods in time, we may be compensated by our clients." Chen Cong, manager of the Export Department of Ningbo Mei Bo import and export company, said that a batch of screwdrivers, wrenches and stationery products had been thrown away by the shipping company because of insufficient containers.

Zhejiang AOKANG shoe Limited by Share Ltd also has the same experience. In early August, 5 containers to Norway were "thrown away" and forced to change to expensive airlift.

Ying Xiaochun, business manager of Hailong Da Logistics Co., Ltd. introduced that since May this year, Ningbo has seen the "burst warehouse" (container order excess) and the "rejection cabinet" phenomenon in Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. When the container space is most scarce, it usually takes about two weeks in advance, and there is no guarantee of shipping space.

The rise in shipping market is related to the recovery of foreign trade. According to statistics from Hangzhou customs, Zhejiang exported 100 billion 250 million US dollars in 1-7 months, up 40.6% over the same period last year, which is 5 percentage points higher than the national average growth rate. The import and export of processing trade increased by 48.5% compared with the same period last year, while the general trade import and export increased by 38.3% compared to the same period last year.

Among them, traditional industries such as textiles and clothing still occupy the dominant position, total exports of 27 billion 270 million US dollars, accounting for 27.3% of Zhejiang's total exports; the proportion of exports of electromechanical products to the total exports of the province is lower than the national average; the proportion of high-tech products exports to the total export value of the province is only 7.8%, while the proportion of national high-tech products accounted for 30.8% of the total value of exports.

However, a sample survey of the Zhejiang provincial chamber of Commerce showed that 1/3 of the 1500 key monitoring enterprises in the whole province decreased year by year because of the fact that the export prices could not fully digest the cost rising factors.

"Profits have fallen sharply." Gu Bosheng, director of the socks Research Institute of Datang Town, Zhuji, said that the average price of exports to the US socks was $0.297 per pair, while the average export price last year was US $0.378, and the price dropped by 20%. Before the financial crisis, the gross profit of self export was 10% and OEM profit was 3%.

Gu Bosheng said that many of the socks enterprises will be completely reduced to production workshops due to the decline in order prices, the bottom of export profits, the increase of comprehensive cost and the expectation of exchange rate fluctuations.

"For Zhejiang's economy, the biggest uncertainty is foreign trade." Li Zhihai, director of the Zhejiang provincial development and Reform Commission, said that in 2009, Zhejiang's foreign trade plan increased by 9%, but its negative growth was 13.8%. According to the analysis of the relationship between Zhejiang's exports and GDP in the past three years, if exports fell by 1 percentage points, it would lead to a decline of GDP percentage points in the province's 0.3-0.4.

This year, the planned export growth of Zhejiang is over 5%.

Break through path dependence

The situation of foreign trade reflects the confusion of Zhejiang's development strategy.

Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences researcher Gu Ying Chun pointed out that the early development of Zhejiang was driven by private capital and to the internal market. In 1998, Southeast Asian financial turmoil, Zhejiang seized the opportunity to transfer international orders, locking down the development mode of low-end manufacturing industry.

Since then, Zhejiang has experienced a large surplus for many years. By 2005, Zhejiang's exports increased by 41%, while imports increased by only 8.8%. In terms of the structure of export products, the proportion of textile and clothing exports in Zhejiang is as high as 30.5%, while that in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shanghai is about 10%, but the export of mechanical and electrical products is about 70%.

During the "11th Five-Year" period, Zhejiang regarded traditional industries as one of the "three carriages" that are closely related to high technology and heavy chemical industries. Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong and other provinces have chosen the higher industry as the direction of development.

Compared with other provinces and cities, the industrial structure of Zhejiang is relatively low. From 1986 to 2008, the average change rates of industrial structure in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong and Guangdong were 36.2%, 41.3%, 38.1% and 43.7%, respectively, which were higher than those in Zhejiang (36%).

In terms of structural height, Zhejiang's industrial quality is not compatible with the development process. In 2006, Zhejiang's industrial added value rate was only 20.2%, lower than that of Shandong (25%), Guangdong (25%) and Jiangsu (23.4%) in the same period.

This export-oriented unilateral market orientation has limited contribution to Zhejiang's economy. Statistics show that in the 2001-2009 years, the consumption demand in Zhejiang increased by 12.9% annually, the investment demand increased by 12.3%, the export demand increased by 10.6%, and the GDP pulling rate was 46.1%, 48.1% and 5.8% respectively.

In order to change the dilemma of "small profits but quick turnover", Zhejiang has strengthened the construction of internal and external trade operation monitoring system. Since last year, 30 regional monitoring points have been set up to regularly monitor the operation of 1500 key export enterprises and 1000 key business circulation enterprises.

At the same time, Zhejiang province also introduced policies to encourage Zhejiang enterprises to expand overseas. Jin Yonghui, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce, told the newspaper that since 2009, Zhejiang has undertaken several overseas cooperation zones, and will accelerate the establishment of an incubator park based on technology research and development overseas to create more cluster offshore investment platforms and create an external marketing network with the characteristics of Zhejiang industry.

"Zhejiang is a microcosm of the development of China's economic strength." Chen Jianjun, an expert of the regional planning comprehensive group of the national development and Reform Commission, said that the growth rate of GDP in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in 2009 was 12.4%, 8.9% and 8.2% respectively. Although the economic development was good, the growth rate was slowing down gradually.

According to analysis, the current pattern of macro-economic growth is conducive to the resource-based Midwest, which is not conducive to the processing of the Yangtze River Delta, leading to the "stall" of the traditional industries of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"As children grow older, shoes and clothes don't fit." Zhuo Yongliang, director of the Zhejiang Institute of reform and development, called on the central government to introduce targeted development policies to enhance industrial transformation and upgrading and the transformation of social development mode.
