Yantai Export Garment Enterprises Encounter Two Difficulties

It is understood that since 2012, many mechanical and electrical products, aquatic products, clothing Foreign trade processing factories have encountered two difficulties: difficult to start and difficult to order, workers unable to recruit, unable to start work, no job orders, and even orders.

Hiring is more than finding a job.

According to convention, usually after the first month of fifteen, a large number of migrant workers go out to find jobs, and the difficulty of employment will be greatly alleviated. However, reporters have learned from relevant channels in recent days that, in the first month of the year, our city has a relatively large number of Electromechanical, aquatic products. Clothing enterprise Because of the relatively perfect maintenance of human resources, the labor situation is slightly better, and some small and micro enterprises are not even able to start half the work, so that more skilled workers are found than most of them. Most export enterprises still face the phenomenon of underemployment.

"47 of our mechanical and electrical enterprises are not full of work now." China Export and Credit Insurance Corp Shandong branch Yantai office director Jin Song said. Ding Yongguang, chairman of Haiyang Guang Xin Knitting Co., Ltd., said that the price of labor in the knitting industry is relatively high. In recent years, especially in Haiyang, the increase of workers' wages has far exceeded the increase in the production profit of enterprises. The average wage of employees like Guang Xin knitting mill has been around 2000 yuan.

"This level is not the same as the wage level of similar industries in Qingdao. Now the recruit is less than one hundred yuan. I have inquired that the same type of factory wages in Yantai are almost the same level. Ding Yongguang said.

Partial enterprise orders shrink nearly half

According to convention, after the beginning of spring, climate warming, orders for foreign trade enterprises will gradually increase. This year, however, the situation is somewhat special.

"Although the monthly data of the Spring Festival is very ugly, it is not as ugly as it is this year." A company responsible for export of mechanical and electrical products to foreign trade enterprises told reporters.

When you hear the word "European debt crisis" from a mouth of a middle-aged rural woman with only junior high school qualifications, you should be aware of the impact of the European debt crisis on the export industry. Ding Yongguang said: "this year's situation is not very good, and now February is about to end. In general, export enterprises in January and February are very hard. In the past month, sales of orders are generally between 500 and 7 million, while sales in the first two months of this year are only about 200 to 3 million.

At the moment, not only can not receive orders, the order has been raised the chance of problems is also rising.

According to statistics, the ratio of orders in Europe and America is relatively high, mainly in the United States, Greece, Italy, Germany and other countries. Last year, 17 foreign trade enterprises in Yantai were exported by export credit insurance companies, the largest of which was $about 4000000 worth of money. "The reason is very simple, and the importers choose to refuse to pay. The reason behind this is that the debt crisis has led to a shrinking demand." Analysts say.

"In fact, the financial crisis, including the European debt crisis, has been affecting us all these years. While countries are scrambing for energy, imports are also shrinking. Some countries have launched trade barriers and technical barriers to Chinese enterprises, such as trade wars and green wars. These factors also cause some enterprises to have no single access, single dare not receive, have single or no ability to connect, once the order is likely to lose money. Jin Song said.

The domestic situation is also not optimistic. The cost of human resources and the cost of raw materials have gradually increased. On the other hand, the credit crunch has also intensified the difficulty of expanding production. Although the deposit reserve ratio has been lowered, whether the funds released can be used for small and micro enterprises mainly exported to foreign trade is not clear.

As the level of labor rises, the cost of enterprise products rises, and in the trade negotiations with foreigners, they usually get entangled for a few days for a penny.

When clothing trade is booming, one garment can earn one dollar or more. "Now it is good to earn a few cents from a garment. The previous processing fee is about three yuan, according to the current trend of labor cost rising, processing fees should be in the range of four to five to five yuan, but in reality, the processing fee for foreigners is only about five. Ding Yongguang said.

Dependence on OEM trade instability

In order to get rid of the plight, export enterprises have come up with various ways to reduce risks. "Guang Xin knitting export countries are mainly concentrated in the United States, Italy and other European and American regions, as well as South America and the Middle East. The situation in Europe and the United States is not optimistic. We are increasing our power in South America and the Middle East." Ding Yongguang said.

Ding Yongguang said that although the current conditions are not very good, as long as the order can earn labor costs, even if there is no profit, we must take orders. After receiving the bill, the workers will have wages, and if they get paid, they will be able to keep their jobs. "This is our company's support for people's livelihood and stability. The development of things is wavy. We can't always be in the trough. We always have a good day in the economy. When we are good, the workers we retain can play a role.

New technology and materials are also adopted in the process. "Like previous products, they can not be produced, and adopt new materials and technologies. modal , Bamboo fiber And so on.

From a macro point of view, professionals analyze the prospect of export relying on OEM trade is bleak. "When the traditional trade mode has to change, we must change the way of growth, adjust the structure of foreign trade export, and no longer do such Foundry Trade. The export relying on OEM trade is very unstable. Yantai's manufacturing is our strength, but Yantai's creation is still insufficient. From the current situation, it is the way to create its own brand. "
