China's Footwear Exports Blossom &Nbsp On All Sides, And Maintain Strong Growth Momentum.

In October 2010, China's scale above

Guangzhou Customs recently released statistics showing that the export volume of Guangdong shoes has decreased continuously in the past 3 months, of which, in October 2010, the volume of exports decreased by 3.1%, and the value of exports decreased by 11.3%.

Some experts said that the decline in exports in the past three months was mainly due to the recent outbreak of trade protectionism, the accelerated appreciation of the renminbi, the rising cost of raw materials and the support measures launched by competitors.

It is understood that the EU continues to build barriers to China's footwear products.

Spain has introduced a new policy that imported shoes will be heavily fined when it is identified as low quotations, which is a disguised increase in import tariffs.

Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Turkey have decided to impose anti-dumping duties or safeguard measures on Chinese footwear products.

"The negative impact of the implementation of some trade protection measures on China's footwear exports has emerged."

Guangzhou customs analyzed the data and pointed out that

In addition, the prices of raw materials such as cotton and rubber are also well known.

At the same time, the cost of labor in Guangdong is increasing, while the main competitors of China's footwear exports, such as India and Vietnam, are gradually enjoying a favorable position 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. Vietnam has also become the fourth largest shoe producing and exporting country.

The reporter learned from the Jiaozuo entry exit inspection and quarantine bureau that as of the end of November, the 192 batch of Jiaozuo export shoes and the value of their exports were 8 million 300 thousand and 400 US dollars, up 26.32% and 129.56% respectively from the same period last year. The export shoes were mainly made up of low-end products, such as shoes, cloth shoes and casual shoes, and gradually upgraded to high-end products such as wool shoes, boots and other high-end products. The price of the products increased from 5 US dollars to 6 US dollars to the present 30 US dollars to 50 dollars.

Although the export situation is better, experts suggest that export shoe enterprises should strive to improve product quality and grasp the two markets at home and abroad.

In addition, with the development of science and technology and the increasingly stringent requirements for environmental protection, the profits of the leather processing industry have been gradually reduced. Many leather processing enterprises have gradually extended the industrial chain in order to enhance their profit margins, and began to try to make skin deep processing products, making shoes the first choice for these enterprises.

In 2010, Mengzhou Guangyu Leather Co., Ltd. as a representative, entered the shoemaking industry.

The company aims at introducing the high-end products of wool boots, attracting talents from the South and other places, and developing enterprises. At present, it has begun to take shape.

To help export shoe enterprises grasp the technical requirements of importing countries for footwear products and expand their export volume, the city's inspection and quarantine departments give full play to their own advantages, and provide information such as the latest technical barriers, risk warning and various restrictive measures collected to enterprises, so as to guide enterprises to avoid risks while signing contracts.

Among them, the export of safety shoes reached US $206 million, the first time to exceed US $200 million, an increase of 85.74% over the same period last year.

The establishment of the demonstration area has played a positive role in accelerating the pformation and upgrading of the export footwear industry and promoting the export expansion of the footwear industry.

Since 2010, the cost of shoemaking has risen sharply due to factors such as rising raw material prices, appreciation of the renminbi, increasing labor costs, and strengthening factory inspection and evaluation by foreign customers.

Some small businesses with low quality and low price were eliminated, which promoted the corresponding overall price increase.

From 1 to November 2010, the average export price of footwear products was 5.07 US dollars / double, an increase of 11.2% over the same period last year, and the average unit price reached a record high.
