This Year, Christmas Products Exports Increased By &Nbsp; Yiwu Boss: A Christmas Hat Only Earned 5 Cents.

The 5~10 month of the year is the peak season for Christmas products in the Yiwu market. Christmas products from Yiwu have been floating across the sea for several months, then placed in the windows of London or New York.

This year is no exception. In the first 5 months of this year, though not the peak season, according to customs statistics of Yiwu, the amount of 814 tons of Christmas products exported by Yiwu customs in 1~5 months amounted to 4 million 30 thousand US dollars, up 72.7% and 1.4 times compared with the same period last year, the average export price of 4947 US dollars per ton, and the export average price increased by 40% over the same period last year.

However, the reporter recently visited Yiwu.

The old building is the owner of a Christmas handicraft factory in Yiwu. It mainly sells Christmas hats, Christmas clothes and Christmas pendants. Since May, the telephone has gradually become hotter, and some old customers have begun to place orders.

However, he told reporters that although the order was good this year, the workers had to work overtime to catch up at 10 in the evening, but they still couldn't make money.

Shop in the old building

The old building has taken the top hat as an example. Last year it was 4 fur one, and it was 5 gross last year, but the nonwovens fabrics began to soar from the second half of last year. Only 5 of the cloth used for white edge cost, and a hat only earned 5 cents.

"You see, a lot of shops on this street have pulled up the shutter doors. If there are no old customers, it will be very difficult."

The old building said that he is now mainly an old customer. "The profit is too little."

The shop next door mainly sells Christmas balls and other pendants. The owner's mother makes the packaging freely. "Labor is too expensive. Last year, 5 yuan / hour, this year will cost 8 yuan / hour, save yourself."

"25 in case of a cabinet product, our profit will be more than 10 thousand, too thin."

The landlady sighed that she had made 5 years of Christmas products business and earned less than her fellow townsman.

Besides profit margins, this year's Christmas products market has another feature: the European and American markets are not popular.

Wang Xiaoyang also opened a Christmas shop nearby. "Orders came earlier this year, and more in May."

Wang Xiaoyang said, the economic situation in Europe and the United States is not good, merchants are few, but it is Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico, Russia and other countries.
