Market introduction:

Geographical location and advantages: South Africa is located on the southernmost tip of the African continent, known as "the kingdom of rainbow" and "the country of gold and precious stones". The land area is 1 million 220 thousand square kilometers, which is equivalent to the sum of the five countries in Holland, Belgium, Italy, France and Germany. East, West and South are on the three sides of India ocean and the Atlantic, and the north is bordered by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland. South Africa has unique geographical advantages. The products needed by African landlocked countries are from South Africa. They are windows and transit stations for Africa.

The current economic situation: South Africa is a developing country with medium income, and it is also the most developed country in Africa. Its gross domestic product accounts for nearly 20% of the gross domestic product of Africa. South Africa has good infrastructure and abundant resources. It is one of the five largest mineral resources in the world, and its economic openness is relatively high. Mining, manufacturing and agriculture are the three pillars of the economy. In 2009, South Africa's per capita GDP reached 6500 dollars, ranking 62 in the world.

Market environment: South Africa, with a population of about 40000000, is an open large market. It is also the core of the southern African development community with 14 member states, 180 million population and GDP of 170 billion US dollars. South Africa is the most economically developed country in the African continent. Foreign trade plays an important role in the South African economy. Its total import and export volume ranks first among African countries. Most of South Africa's gross domestic product is realized through international trade. South Africa has a free trade system and has no license management for general merchandise imports. All of these illustrate the strong attraction of the South African market environment.

? good relations with China's trade: in 2008, South Africa was China's second largest trading partner in Africa and China's largest export market in Africa. In the same year, bilateral trade volume reached 25 billion 824 million US dollars, an increase of 26.9% over the same period last year, accounting for nearly 19.7% of China's total trade with African countries, 1/5. Even in the 2009, which was affected by the international financial crisis, the volume of trade between South Africa and its traditional trading partners fell sharply. Only South China trade remained stable and dropped 3.99%. China has jumped from South Africa's third largest trading partner to South Africa's largest trading partner, and the proportion of South Africa trade in South Africa's foreign trade structure has increased sharply from 8.45% last year to 11.94%. At present, China has become South Africa's largest exporter and source country of imports.

The status quo of the domestic industry: textiles and their products are the main import and export products of South Africa. Among them, the main products of net imports include textiles and their products. Shoes and Hats Cattle, Down products 。 South African market for textiles, clothing And so on. Local clothing can only meet 60% of domestic demand. Local demand for garments in the two seasons of winter and summer is large. Imported garments are popular in synthetic fabrics, jackets and skirts, cotton trousers and shorts, cotton short sleeved shirts and shirts, wool or man-made fiber jerseys, cardigan jackets and jacket, underwear, sportswear and so on. Fashion tastes tend to be European style. Whites' demand for clothing is characterized by generosity, tradition and manual ingenuity, while black people demand bright colourful clothing and low-grade products are popular. South Africa's light industry is not very developed, and its leather resources are abundant, but its processing industry is relatively backward. Strong market demand and preferential government policies have provided great opportunities for Chinese enterprises to invest, cooperate and produce in South Africa.

Foreign investment: at present, foreign direct investment (FDI) is the main source of foreign capital in South Africa. Mainly from Europe and America, especially Europe. The total investment in Africa accounts for nearly 70% of Europe and nearly 20% of the total. The United Kingdom is the most direct investment country in South Africa, accounting for about 2/5. Foreign companies with assets in South Africa mostly invest in mining, manufacturing, finance, petroleum processing and marketing. The state-owned enterprise restructuring plan, which is being implemented by the government, will help South Africa to attract more foreign direct investment capital in the future. In 2009, South Africa absorbed a total of 120 billion rand foreign direct and indirect investments, a record high in the past ten years.

Preferential policies:

Preferential policies are mainly manifested in the following aspects: first, if foreign enterprises invest in large quantities in the country, that is, the investment amounts to more than 3 million rand (US $500 thousand), we can enjoy the factory subsidy of about 250 thousand US dollars provided by the government. In addition, after the factory is built, it can enjoy 6 years' tax free treatment. Second, the small and medium enterprises with less than 3 million Rand can enjoy 50 thousand dollars in investment and factory subsidies. The manufacturers can reimburse the government for initial inspection, equipment transportation, office supplies and so on. Third, for the foreign-funded enterprises that have been operating, they can enjoy the subsidy of 10.5% of the total fixed assets for the first three years, and the preferential period of operation can be extended to 6 years. Fourth, after the foreign-invested enterprises are put into operation, they can enjoy the freight subsidy of raw materials for the first 4 weeks, but the prerequisite is that South Africa does not have these raw materials.
