Japan'S Strong Earthquake Hit Taizhou Shoes And Clothing Export

Since the strong earthquake occurred in Japan“ crisis ”It has become a high-frequency vocabulary in recent years. The nuclear crisis, supply chain paralysis, factory shutdown, all kinds of signs show that the crisis is still continuing. But Taizhou seems far away from the crisis. Except for the "salt rush" in some areas not long ago, ordinary citizens do not seem to feel the impact of the earthquake.

However, from Japan Imported Some Taizhou enterprises of goods have really felt the "aftereffect" of the Japanese earthquake. Taizhou, as the largest import country in Taiwan, is bound to have a far-reaching impact on imports from Japan.

　　 The yen exchange rate rose in the short term and the import cost increased

This time, I found that the trade between Japan and Japan was not big, so I found that the main trade impact on Japanese enterprises was not large.

　　 Taizhou According to the data provided by the customs, in 2010, the city exported 267 million US dollars to Japan, and the main export commodities were mechanical and electrical products such as auto parts, plastic products, shoes and pharmaceutical products. Imports from Japan totaled 1.17 billion U.S. dollars, mainly including scrap metal, plastic raw materials and processing machine tools.

From the data, the impact of the Japanese earthquake on the economy of our city is mainly reflected in the import field, and the metal recycling industry is the first to bear the brunt. It is understood that 80% of the city's imports are waste materials, and Japan's import accounts for 60%.

Relevant experts believe that after the earthquake will be a large number produce The gold content of waste materials will also rise. This is good news for Taizhou recycling enterprises, whose gross profit rate of waste materials is only 3%. Some of the journalists who had been to Japan to talk about metal recycling business only knew about their intention to do business in Europe and the United States.

But for now, there seems to be more bad news. Taizhou huixinda Metal Co., Ltd. is the most import enterprise from Japan in Taizhou. The person in charge of the company told the reporter that the exchange rate of Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar rose sharply after the earthquake, which undoubtedly increased the import cost of Taizhou enterprises.

Some experts believe that although the appreciation of the yen in the short term will cause part of our city enterprise Import costs have increased, but in the long run, it is difficult for the yen to rise sharply. For a long time, the appreciation of the yen was caused by the pressure of the United States, and after the earthquake, Japan did not have to bear the pressure of appreciation, so in the long run, it is still conducive to the import of Taizhou.

　　 Transportation is blocked and the short-term impact is serious

Due to the shutdown of some ports in Japan caused by the earthquake, Taizhou's import of goods from Japan could not return to normal in the near future. The reporter learned that many enterprises in our city reported that Japanese customers requested to postpone the shipment of the previously negotiated transaction. On the one hand, it takes time to rearrange the goods; on the other hand, it is caused by the difficulties in port transportation.

"We don't know when it will recover. Before the Kobe earthquake, Japan's shipping did not return to its pre earthquake state three months later. Therefore, in the short term, the actual arrival of goods from Japan will decrease, which will have a serious impact on Taizhou's imports. " Taizhou dafengye Metal Co., Ltd. a leader said.

The reporter learned that at present, Japan's imports are still in a state of suspension, especially in the Kanto line, which nearly doubled the freight rate, and the transport vessels are also very limited. Due to the current oil Price increase The freight cost of these materials will continue to increase in Taizhou.

In addition, Taizhou imports a large number of high-tech products, upstream intermediate products and equipment from Japan. Some enterprises may be affected by the shutdown of Japanese equipment factories, such as those importing Japanese electromechanical and optical accessories, but the number of these enterprises is not large.

Relevant experts believe that although the strong earthquake caused some factories in Japan to stop production, transport blocked and procurement temporarily interrupted, making coal, iron ore and other resource varieties bear certain pressure in the short term, and the prices have dropped significantly. But as the post disaster reconstruction unfolds, Japan's demand will pick up again. In particular, the closure of the nuclear power plant will enable Japan to import more oil and gas resources to make up for the power shortage. At that time, the price of resource products will rise again, which will greatly promote the growth momentum of Taizhou's import.
