The Outlet Of Wenzhou Water Head Pig Leather Is To Turn Inward.

The water head town of Pingyang County in Wenzhou is the largest pig leather processing base in the country. The production of leather has once occupied 1 / 4 of the whole country. The output value of the pig product has been up to 4 billion yuan a year. The financial revenue and tax revenue of 1/3 or more in Pingyang County depend on this town. However, when reporters came to the middle of the country recently, they saw almost no business here, though they were working hours, but some of them were empty.

Two years ago, water head town produced 120 million pigs per day and became the largest pig leather processing base in the country.

From the heyday to the present, in a short span of two or three years, leather production and sales in this town have shrunk dramatically.

The management of a company in Shui tou told reporters that the price of live pig and pig skin that they bought this year rose from thirty or forty yuan to eighty yuan, which doubled more than a year. However, a well processed pig skin can split into three layers of leather. The three layers of leather all together can sell at most 100 yuan, while the wages of factory workers have increased by nearly 30%.

At the same time, Huang Kaifeng, general manager of Wenzhou Pingyang Feng Li leather company, also told reporters: "now our leather profits are very low, like we make leather one foot leather to earn a quarter of a good, a piece of leather earn at most only one or two yuan, you only earn one or two yuan for the cost of 100 yuan, this is not always good, if we do not do well, we must lose money."

According to sources, the demand for leather processing industry in Shuping town has shrunk sharply, due to the sharp decrease in the output of the upstream shoe manufacturers. In addition, the state has abolished the export tax rebate of 8% of the industry this year, while the annual interest rate of enterprise loans has been raised to 7.47%, and the prices of raw materials and labor have also increased by 40%. The total operating cost of these enterprises has increased by nearly 30% at the same time. However, because of the shrinking market, the space for their products to raise prices is even 10% difficult to reach 30%.

Although the total value of export output is still growing, the profit margins of export products are decreasing. Many enterprises in Pingyang, Wenzhou, do not want to engage in manufacturing industry again.

This dilemma is seen by industry experts as a feature of low cost manufacturing in China at this stage.

At the same time, compared with the coastal areas, the infrastructure and production costs of inland areas are relatively low, and have begun to take shape.

Therefore, relevant experts suggest that the best way is to pfer the industry to the inland areas.
