1-11 months Sichuan shoes

The scale of Sichuan shoe exports declined sharply in April.

The United States, the European Union and Algeria are the top three of Sichuan shoe exports.

Raw materials and artificial price rise, Sichuan shoes cost no match for India, Vietnam

On December 24th 22, Chengdu customs revealed that in November, only 8 million 40 thousand pairs of Sichuan shoes were exported, down 30.9% from the same period last year.

The export volume of Chuang shoes not only hit the lowest in the year, but also showed a decline for 4 consecutive months.

It is learnt that with the price rise of raw materials, the cost advantage of Sichuan shoes is losing, and the trade barriers will lead to the loss of orders. Sichuan shoes export is facing an urgent breakthrough.

Current situation: Sichuan shoe exports decreased by 30.9% in November

"In the past few months, the export volume of our shoes has decreased, and it is picking up recently."

Chengdu yesterday

According to customs statistics, 1-11 pairs of shoes exported to Sichuan were worth 120 million US dollars in the year of this year, and the average export price was 30.2% US dollars for each 5.4 US $5.4.

Especially in November, the export volume of Sichuan shoes dropped to the lowest level in the year, and now the export scale of Sichuan shoes has dropped sharply in April.

In November, Sichuan shoes exported only 8 million 40 thousand pairs, down 30.9% compared with the same period last year. The export scale for the first time appeared negative year-on-year growth in the same month.

23.5%.

However, the average export price of Chuan shoes began to show a sharp downward trend in August, and rebounded sharply in November. The average export price was 5.1 US dollars per pair, a 36.7% increase over the same period.

Geographically, the United States, the European Union and Algeria are the top three of Sichuan shoe exports.

Private enterprises accounted for nearly 90% of the total exports, and the main force of Sichuan shoe exports.

Analysis: Sichuan shoes cost advantage gradually lost

"Raw material price rises artificially, the cost advantage of Sichuan shoe is lost gradually."

Yesterday, the Chengdu customs analysis said that in recent months, because of the sharp rise in international commodity futures prices and the emergence of inflation in China, footwear production costs increased sharply, which brought greater cost pressure to Sichuan shoe manufacturers.

At the same time, the main competitors of China's footwear exports, such as India, Vietnam and other neighboring countries, are gradually gaining a favorable position in the competition by virtue of their cheaper labor cost advantages.

At present, the production of shoes in India accounts for 16% of the total production of shoes in the world, ranking second in the world, and the export of Vietnamese shoes is growing rapidly. This year it has become the fourth largest shoe producing and exporting country in the world.

Trade barriers are also important reasons for the loss of export orders for Sichuan shoes.

In December 2009, the EU decided to extend the anti-dumping duty on Chinese leather shoes for another 15 months. Argentina announced the extension of the anti-dumping investigation deadline in January this year. In February this year, Canada also made anti-dumping final review on Chinese made waterproof shoes. In March this year, Brazil decided to impose anti-dumping duties on the shoes made in China, and decided to impose an anti-dumping duty of $13.85 per pair.

Frequent trade protectionist measures have severely compromised the purchasing confidence of importers.

In view of the recent performance of Sichuan shoe exports, the customs suggested that Sichuan shoes should be based on "Russia and white Kazakhstan" and open up the "ASEAN circle".

In particular, take the "Sichuan Singapore" industrial park construction as an opportunity to expand the share of emerging markets.

At the same time, we closely track the export situation of "Russia, white and ha" market, analyze the reasons in depth, and formulate contingency policies to ensure the normality and stability of their exports.

It is also necessary for relevant departments to continue to guide and encourage footwear enterprises to carry out product innovation and brand building, and enhance their profitability.

At the beginning of this month, from the shoe Office of China Leather Association, the EU footwear industry is brewing another anti-dumping review of leather shoes imported from China and Vietnam.

The EU imposed a 16.5% anti-dumping duty on leather shoes originating in China in October 5, 2006, with a period of two years.

After sunset at the end of 2008, the European Commission again ruled that the anti-dumping duty would be extended for 15 months in December 2009 and expired in March 2011.

The EU anti-dumping case on leather shoes, which began in 2006, has seriously affected the export of Chinese leather shoes, and has continued to decline in exports of European leather shoes.

Under the influence of the financial crisis, China's footwear export growth in 2009 was almost zero.
