Deal With Trade Barriers Between Europe And America, Quanzhou Shoe Enterprises Seek New Breakout

Since the beginning of this year, Quanzhou shoe enterprises have overcome the many unfavorable factors such as anti dumping, trade technical barriers, RMB appreciation and so on.

Customs statistics show that in the first 6 months, Quanzhou exported 1 billion 240 million dollars of export footwear, an increase of 11.5% over the same period last year. In July and August, the volume of exports of shoes in Quanzhou increased by more than 10% over last month.

Behind the continuous growth of export volume is the result of Quanzhou shoe enterprises actively exploring new international markets.

Quanzhou Xingquan shoes company is an export oriented enterprise which produces sports shoes. Its original products are mainly exported to Europe and North America, and now they are beginning to fight in Africa.

Wang Lexing, general manager, told reporters that some new regulations such as the REACH regulations of the European Union this year have raised the cost of the products. The cost of each pair of shoes has increased by about $3, which has a certain impact on the export volume of the company. In order to reverse the situation, the company began to export products to South Africa, Ethiopia and other countries in Africa in July, and the effect is very obvious.

As an important base for the production of sports shoes, Quanzhou has made new breakthroughs this year in "going out" and has begun to produce agglomeration effects.

A number of shoe enterprises have taken steps to establish manufacturing bases overseas.

It is understood that peak an (China) Leather Industry Co., Ltd. has been basically completed in Vietnam, and it is expected to start in the year.

Quanzhou Baofeng Shoes Co., Ltd. has been inspecting in Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia since last year and intends to plant it in Indonesia.

In order to guide enterprises to "go out", the Quanzhou leather industry association plans to organize member enterprises to go to Vietnam and other countries to conduct business investment investigation in mid and late 9.

The head of the Association told reporters that the purpose of this trip is to investigate the investment environment and the development of local shoe industry, so as to provide reference for subsequent investment.
