Export rebound

We need to cultivate our own brand.

At the signing ceremony yesterday, Xu Wuqiang, director of the Sichuan inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said that after more than 10 years of rapid development, the export of footwear products in Chengdu has maintained substantial growth every year, and has become the largest single export commodity in Sichuan's traditional industries.

Chengdu has already formed a footwear industry gathering area, and the brand effect of "Chinese women's shoes capital" is increasingly prominent.

The two bureaus will establish closer cooperation mechanisms to make new contributions to the accelerated development of Chengdu's open economy.

Guo Qizhou, director of the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said that at present, the relevant footwear enterprises in the city reached more than 4000, with an annual output value of more than 10 billion yuan RMB, and exported to 707 million US dollars in 2011. Initially, the industry scale of matching and perfecting, production and marketing, and annual production of leather shoes over 100 million pairs has been initially formed. The shoe making industry has become one of the characteristic export industries with rapid development in Chengdu in recent years.

However, most of the shoemaking enterprises in Chengdu are small and medium enterprises, most of which are mainly OEM and processing. Their product design, technological innovation and development capability are weak, lack of independent brand and technology, products are at the low end of the industrial chain, and lack of core competitiveness of the international market. Under the severe situation of international and domestic foreign trade, Chengdu footwear industry will face greater challenges.

According to the data provided by the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the total export volume of the city in the 1~5 months was 11 billion 775 million US dollars, an increase of 83.87%, an increase of 15 percentage points over the 1~4 month export growth rate (68.66%), which was higher than the Sichuan provincial export growth rate (78.7%) 5 percentage points, higher than the national export growth rate (8.7%) 75 percentage points.

Among them, footwear exports rebounded. In 1~5 months, the footwear exported by Chengdu enterprises was 269 million US dollars, an increase of about 24% over the same period last year of 216 million US dollars.
