Jinjiang Taiwan Footwear Industry Continues To Expand Cooperation And Development Space

China International held annually in Jinjiang

Taiwan is one of the most developed regions in the world shoe industry, and Jinjiang is a famous shoe market both at home and abroad. Jinjiang shoe industry has a large scale and complete industrial chain.

In 2000, the second shoe Fair held in Jinjiang attracted the participation of the footwear industry in Taiwan.

In 2006, the footwear industry association of Taiwan and Taiwan Machinery Industry Association became the support unit of Shoe Expo for the first time. In those days, 36 Taiwan footwear traders first appeared in the shoe fair, which produced a great response on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

In 2007, the Organizing Committee held the first "cross-strait college student sports shoes design competition", becoming a platform for outstanding designers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The brand effect of the shoe Fair has been held successively, so that more and more Taiwan shoe factories and shoemaking enterprises are pouring into Jinjiang.

There are quite a number of enterprises and traders who open factories or set up offices, such as concavo convex, Bai Yuan and so on. The famous enterprises of Taiwan shoe leather machinery production are settled in Quanzhou, forming strong matching with Jinjiang shoe leather manufacturers.

"The shoe Fair has become the best platform for us to display new products and conduct business negotiations every year," said the head of Taiwan Tien Gang precision machinery Polytron Technologies Inc, an old shoe maker.

Through this platform, we have the most convenient understanding of the current situation of the development of the global footwear industry, and understand the latest needs of the mainland shoe manufacturers, so as to continuously improve our products and maintain the adaptability and competitiveness of our products.

Because participating in the shoe fair, we maintain close ties with local businesses and Taiwanese businessmen, and also make our business grow rapidly.

The establishment of the eighth Shoe Expo Taiwan Pavilion marks the beginning of a new stage of cooperation and exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. You Mengjun, Secretary of the Jinjiang Municipal Committee of the CPC, said: "since then, the footwear industry in Taiwan has changed from a single enterprise exhibitor to a trade association exhibitor, from the single product display to the whole industry chain of shoe machine, shoe material and shoes products. From the trade to technology and market cooperation and cooperation, the cooperation between the two sides of the footwear industry has risen to a higher level."

A Taiwanese businessman has the same feeling that it is through the concentrated display of the strength of the famous shoe machine brand in Taiwan that the cooperation space of shoe machine, shoe material and finished shoe enterprise across the Taiwan Strait has been further expanded and harvested.

The development process of Jinjiang footwear industry has grown stronger and stronger since its exchange with Taiwan.

At present, there are more than 3000 shoe industry enterprises in Jinjiang, nearly 200 thousand employees, and about 50000000000 yuan of industrial output value for footwear enterprises above designated size. Jinjiang is the largest industry in Jinjiang. Therefore, it has become the world's largest production base for sports shoes. The annual output of sports shoes occupies 40% of the country's total, accounting for 20% of the world's total.

In January this year, with the full implementation of the Cross Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), a new era of cross-strait economic cooperation was opened.

Professor Lin Jianfu of the Department of economics, National Taiwan University believes that ECFA has created an opportunity for the two sides to jointly upgrade their industries and jointly develop space for industrial development. A total of 806 products across the Straits can receive tariff relief.

Against this background, the shoe Fair held in Jinjiang has become the focus of attention of both sides of the Strait.

Lin Jianfu is very optimistic about the prospect of Jintai footwear cooperation under the background of ECFA.

He said that the footwear industry in Jinjiang is developing rapidly, and has a very prominent position in the country's peers. The production level is very high. If we make more efforts in R & D and professional design, the profit space will be greatly improved. R & D and professional design are precisely the strengths of Taiwan, including the manufacturing level of Taiwan shoe leather, and also the leading global counterparts.

Through the platform of shoe fair, we will enhance the cooperation between Jintai footwear industry and complement each other, which will make the footwear industry on both sides of the Strait more powerful and become an important industry benefiting ECFA Dongfeng.
