He also exports socks, and his socks sell better.

Zhuji Datang town is rich in socks. Most of the small and medium-sized manufacturers that rely on exports are facing the same problem: they have fewer orders, even if they have orders.

"A pair of socks sold for 4 yuan, dig out artificial rent and so on, basically do not make money, so we do not have orders."

Mr. Zhao and socks in Zhuji have dealt with him for more than ten years. This year, he feels a bit tricky.

"There are a few socks factories around, but some owners simply start other industries."

He said.

However, while many socks enterprises are troubled, Yu Zhongliang is very calm.

His wave Knitting Co., Ltd., not only did not appear in sharp decline in orders, but also new customers came to him.

"In 2010, I decided to jump out of the previous socks production mode."

Yu Zhongliang said, the original 4 yuan -5 yuan a pair of socks, everyone rushing to do, with the domestic

The improvement seems to be the first step.

"Even if we sell 20 million socks a year, we still have no money to earn."

Yu Zhongliang began to study how to make socks with higher technical difficulty. Yu Zhongliang, who likes to be alone, put the factory site in the Haining Economic Development Zone, so that it is not disturbed by other peers.

"The socks we wear often pilling and breaking easily, because the needle is coarse and the fabric is not stable.

I have improved some of my equipment parts, increased the investment of some advanced equipment, and made socks which are more wearable, stronger and warmer than others.

Yu Zhongliang has applied for a patent for his improved equipment and fabric structure developed.

"Patents can be competitive."

As a result, the socks with no competitive advantage, which could only be sold for 4 yuan a pair, can now be sold to 30 yuan.

"Now there are many orders in North America and Australia, because our socks have good thermal insulation and various special specifications, so it is impossible for other enterprises to compete."

Yu Zhongliang disclosed that although the size of his factory is not large, orders may not be much before, but it is also 20 million yuan sales, he can earn more 10%-20% profits.

"Improving equipment, streamlining manpower and improving added value of products is as simple as that."

He said.

Experts analyze that there are only two ways out for many foreign trade enterprises.

Customs Statistics analysts said that from the export data of January this year, Zhejiang's foreign trade has achieved a high level of US $20 billion 600 million in May. In recent months, Zhejiang's foreign trade export has maintained a steady development trend (exports of US $19 billion 800 million in June and exports of US $19 billion 820 million in July).

However, affected by the continued weakening of the EU economy, Zhejiang's exports to the EU have dropped further.

In 1-8 months, Zhejiang exported 34 billion 400 million US dollars to the European Union, down 9.1% from the same period last year, a 0.4 percentage point increase from 1-7 months, and exports to the euro area 24 billion 980 million US dollars, down 13.1% compared to the same period last year.

On the export commodities, the export of household appliances, furniture, lamps and other middle end manufacturing products is relatively good.

Exports of footwear and high-tech products are still sluggish.

In the first 8 months, Zhejiang's exports of furniture, household appliances and lamps increased by 9.2%, 12.3% and 18.7% respectively.

Over the same period, Zhejiang exported 20 billion 680 million US dollars of textile yarn and products, an increase of 0.23% compared with the same period last year, and export clothing and footwear 18 billion 570 million US dollars and 4 billion 990 million US dollars, down 4.6% and 2.1% compared to the same period last year.

"From the August" foreign trade export pilot index "questionnaire survey, the lack of external demand, the decline in orders and rising costs are still the main problems reflected by Zhejiang's export enterprises. Some enterprises reflect the lack of skilled workers, and the continued decline of the euro exchange rate has a greater impact on the operation of enterprises.

Among them, the difficulty of raising prices is the main reason for the deep sense of cost pressure.

Customs statistics analysis expert analysis, in 1-8 months, China's industrial producer purchase price fell 1.2% compared with the same period last year, indicating that the cost of investment in enterprises dropped, but in the same period, the producer prices of industrial producers in China dropped by 1.3% over the same period last year, which is larger than the purchasing price of industrial producers, indicating that enterprises failed to profit from the decline in costs.

"Most of the foreign trade enterprises I see are still at the stage of processing, and the added value of products is very low.

For such enterprises, there are only two ways out: to pform or increase the added value of products, or to pfer the export market to Africa, South America, ASEAN and other places.

Lu Qi, a senior member of the foreign trade industry, thinks so.
