Large Scale Fur Industrial Clusters Export Earn 50 Million US Dollars

The fur processing industry of Dadu has a history of more than three thousand years, and is one of the birthplaces of fur.

The Shang Dynasty was known as Qiu Zu and was consecrated to the generations.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the western seas, and Jo went into the upper class of Europe with its "soft skin, good fur and a good color and vogue".

Since the reform and opening up, the fur market has been named "ten major professional markets for agricultural industrialization" by the Hebei provincial government, and the fur industry has been identified as the pillar industry of the provincial star fire.

1. The development status of Da Ying fur industry cluster is located at the junction of two provinces (Hebei, Shandong) three districts (Xingtai, Dezhou, Hengshui), 50 kilometers away from Hengshui, and its geographical location is superior.

In recent years, villages and towns have dried up their fur and their households are engaged in processing.

In 2004, the fur industry realized sales revenue of 6 billion yuan, and the tax paid was over 100 million yuan, a double that of the previous year, which is 10 times that of 2000.

At present, there are 9170 fur enterprises and stalls in Daying Town, 63 large scale enterprises with an annual output value of more than 1 million yuan, 12 more than 10 million yuan, 2160 fixed stores, more than 7000 mobile and fixed stalls, four four trading days in ten days, and more than 6000 on average.

The gross output value of the whole town's fur industry accounts for 83% of the total output value of the industry and agriculture, and 90% of the farmers' household income comes from the fur industry.

There are 2000 kinds of fur: raw leather, cooked leather, semi finished products, fur clothing, fur ornaments, scissors, handicrafts and so on. Nearly all kinds of products are sold in more than 20 countries and regions, such as China, Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Japan and Korea.

The trade volume of the camp market is up to 1 billion 520 million yuan, accounting for 65% of the national market share, 50% of which is exported to the international market, and the foreign exchange earnings are about 50000000 US dollars.

The rapid development of fur industry cluster has played an important role in the social and economic development of Daying Town.

First, it led to economic development.

In 2004, the town completed the gross output value of 4 billion yuan, and handed in taxes of about 80000000 yuan, accounting for half of the industrial and commercial revenue in the county, and the net income per capita reached 4130 yuan, an increase of 79%, 43% and 12% respectively over the previous year.

In 2005, its output value reached 7 billion yuan, and its annual export sales amounted to US $700 million.

Two is to promote the construction of the market.

With the continuous development of the industry and the continuous expansion of the scale, many business owners are eager to have a good place to operate.

To this end, in line with the principle of "who invest, who manages, who benefits", adhere to the principle of diversifying market investment, large-scale market and advanced market level, we have built fur city, fur city, closed fur trading square, Kowloon market and poly treasure exhibition hall. The market covers an area of 70 thousand square meters, with an area of more than 50 thousand square meters, 296 stores and 2000 stalls.

Three is to promote the construction of small towns.

The development of fur industry has laid a strong foundation for the construction of small towns.

The development of fur industry promoted the improvement of hard environment, completed the widening and hardening of four roads and three streets, completed the underground drainage and greening projects of three main streets, established the water company, built the post and telecommunications building, the cable telephone tower, the Capital Cinema, the cable TV station and the bi Jing Hotel, repaired the Bi dry temple, built the Bi dry Park, hardened the railway station square, and greatly enhanced the hard environment of the camp.

Four is to promote the pport industry and three production development.

In order to provide good service conditions for fur traders, 34 hotels have been built, 52 catering service stalls, more than 20 mobile department stores, 4 pport stations, and now have more than 130 large and medium passenger and freight cars.

The five is to absorb the surplus rural labor force.

The development of the industry and the increase in the number of enterprises provide employment opportunities for the surplus rural labor force.

At present, there are more than 30 thousand personnel engaged in fur processing industry in Daying Town, which makes every labor force live and earn. It is estimated that 15 thousand people will be employed after the completion of the fur Industrial Park.

The six is to increase farmers' income.

The increase of rural surplus labor force and employment has led to the increase of farmers' income.

In 2004, the per capita net income of farmers reached 4130 yuan, an increase of 2130 yuan compared to 2000, and the per capita savings account was more than 10000 yuan. At present, there are more than 8500 kinds of cars in the big camp, including more than 2000 cars, 45 thousand motorcycles, 2 households on average, 30 thousand mobile phone users, 1 on average per 2 people, and the people of large camp rely on fur industry to create a happy and healthy life.

Two, the main problems of fur industry cluster in Daying Town, although the fur industry cluster of Daying Town has begun to take shape, there is still a big gap from the real industrial cluster.

There are still some problems in the internal elements, internal structure, operation mechanism and function of the cluster.

1, the advantages of industrial clusters are not obvious.

The big camp is a traditional fur market in Hebei. There are a large number of enterprises in the cluster, but there is no scale and quality benefit enterprise. Compared with Suning, the "fur city of China" in the north, there is no obvious industrial advantage.

2, industrial clusters do not form a complete industrial chain.

At present, the industrial cluster is simply the concentrated production of the same product enterprises, the products are identical, and no specialized division of labor has been formed. A large number of "small and complete" enterprises have hindered the extension of the industrial chain in the same cluster and jeopardize the self development and competitiveness of the cluster.

3, enterprises lack the ability of technological innovation.

Due to the lack of high-quality talents, imperfect industrial support and insufficient supply of public goods, industrial clusters have not yet formed the innovative mechanism of clusters, and enterprises lack the talents, capital and institutional environment base of independent innovation.

Most enterprises do not have core technology, mostly stay at low level round-trip production, and have poor ability to resist risks.

Not only the capability of independent research and development is weak, but also the labor skills as the basis of technological innovation are generally low.

Most of the enterprises in the industrial cluster are small in scale, mainly in family workshops, with limited strength, and weak technical conditions, which are manually processed by traditional way, resulting in the general lack of technological innovation and development capability. Their business operations are relatively single, with low technology content, low added value and insufficient profit, which further restrict their technological upgrading ability.

Moreover, the links between enterprises and schools and scientific research institutions are not very close, and the ability to acquire and absorb new technologies is weak, and they lack strong technical support, just to maintain simple production operations.

4, excessive competition among enterprises, lack of cooperation and alliances.

The same structure of products and the lack of division of labor among enterprises make the survival of enterprises become cruel and vicious competition.

Entrepreneurs do not organize effective corporate alliances to achieve complementarity of resources and advantages. Instead, they are accustomed to doing all activities such as production and operation independently, and carry out "one to one" life and death struggle with other enterprises.

Restricted by traditional ideas and limitations of regional culture, enterprises only know that competition is not united, but the main reason is the lack of social credit.

The trust of partners is not enough. Only by limiting the credit to kinship or kinship, so that the social credit radius is small, the scope of cooperation is limited, and the enterprise alliance can not be established.

5, brand building is lagging behind.

There are seven large series of more than 2000 varieties in Daying Town, most of which do not have their own brands. They use other people's fabrics and equipment to produce according to the intentions of others, and finally give them back to others.

Making OEM (OEM) is just a "wedding dress" and is not the long-term development direction of the enterprise.

6, the social service system is not perfect.

The development of the industrial cluster is mainly based on the workshop, the intermediary service organization is imperfect, and the social service network is not perfect, thus hindering the development of the industrial cluster.

Three, the development strategy of fur business in Daying Town should be accelerated and the development of fur economy in Daying Town should be accelerated. Effective measures should be taken from all aspects. One of the most important aspects is to integrate and configure the local superior resources, promote enterprise clusters and form competitive competitive industrial clusters.

1, the local government correctly positioning responsibilities and powers.

Conscientiously implement the policy of the Hebei provincial Party committee in formulating the "11th Five-Year plan" to cultivate and expand the policy of characteristic industrial clusters, and shape the good market environment and market players of the cluster economic development.

The development of enterprises should be self disciplined. The local government should also lay stress on strengthening the concept of serving the enterprises. Starting from the overall situation of development, we should optimize the development environment of enterprises and encourage enterprises to operate normally rather than arbitrarily defaulting on tax rebates.

As a regulatory department, the government can not wait for enterprises to make mistakes before they go to check. They should guide and supervise enterprises to make no mistakes, do not violate rules and regulations, and do not violate the law.

2, cultivate the innovation ability of enterprises in industrial clusters.

Enterprises in industrial clusters should strive to improve their technological capabilities in operation and development, which is the basic factor for improving the technological level and competitiveness of the entire industrial cluster.

First, enterprises should pay attention to human capital investment, train their employees, improve their personal skills, cultivate their entrepreneurs, improve their personal qualities and management capabilities, and strive to improve the innovation capability of the whole enterprise, actively develop new technologies and products, promote the development of R&D activities, and increase the added value of products.

Two, we should strengthen exchanges and cooperation among enterprises in the industrial cluster with schools, research institutes and other institutions, improve the pformation mechanism of technological achievements, actively explore market demand, adapt to changes in the market, constantly apply new technologies, develop new products, effectively improve the innovation capability of enterprises, and promote the optimization and upgrading of the entire industrial cluster.

3, establish intermediary service institutions and improve the social service system.

To establish a sound social service system and provide support for the development of industrial clusters, we must rely on industrial clusters, adhere to the principles of socialization, specialization and marketization, strive to promote the construction of intermediary organizations, improve the social service system, enable enterprises in the industrial clusters to develop in a relatively perfect market environment, make comprehensive use of all kinds of resources, effectively reduce paction costs, and improve the efficiency of commodity production and paction.

First, we should gradually improve corporate planning, technical services, property rights trading, consulting services and information service networks in industrial clusters, promote the establishment of product testing centers in industrial clusters, enhance the self inspection ability of industrial clusters, standardize the management of product quality, and stabilize the overall product quality of clusters.

We should establish an industrial information center, focus on improving the level of informatization, promote industrialization with information technology, expand domestic and international business exchanges, develop e-commerce, and solve problems such as information blocking and backward marketing methods.

Second, speed up the construction of credit guarantee institutions.

The development of industrial clusters needs sufficient financial support and financing is an urgent problem to be solved.

International and domestic experience has proved that vigorously developing SME credit guarantee agencies is an effective way to solve the financing problem.

We should actively set up cooperative financial organizations with multiple forms of ownership, formulate conditions for entry and regulatory measures, and adopt a combination of "sparse" and "guidance" so as to create conditions for the establishment of non-governmental financial institutions and organizations.

At the same time, we can also explore the establishment of microfinance organizations initiated by natural persons or enterprises to solve the problem of SMEs' "loan difficulty".

Third, actively promote the construction of trade associations.

The Da Mao fur trade association has not played its due role. The enterprise relationship is mainly coordinated by the government. It not only causes excessive dependence on the government, but also forms and develops the bureaucracy of the government and reduces the administrative efficiency.

Drawing on the successful experience of Wenzhou clothing and other trade associations, we should actively play the role of industry associations' self-discipline and organization and management, enhance the "collective action" ability of industrial clusters in market competition, establish the overall image of the whole cluster, and enhance the competitiveness of clusters.

At the same time, we should promote the pformation of government functions, strengthen the coordinating role of trade associations, help enterprises to get through the contact channels between domestic clusters, and provide conditions for clusters to strengthen their opening and cooperation and reduce obstacles and unstable factors in the process of innovation.
