Fujian Shoes Export Profits Halved Dare Not Take Orders

According to the latest statistics of Fuzhou customs, Fujian shoes export 930 million pairs in the first half of 08 years, a decrease of 0.5% over the same period of 07 years, worth 2 billion 440 million US dollars, an increase of 5.9%.

Profit is halved to dare to pick up the list. Jinjiang WorldCom Shoes Co., Ltd. is a medium-sized enterprise with more than 800 employees. Chairman Ding Youyi told reporters that this year, enterprises have accumulated a total of 20% of the total cost increase.

Among them, the cost of raw materials increased by 15%, the cost of manufacturing and labor increased by 25%, and the cost of Finance rose by 13%.

"Two years ago, the average export price of a pair of shoes was about $six, but now the price must be more than $7.2."

However, it is not easy to raise export prices. Jinjiang has more than 3000 enterprises in footwear production and operation. "Competition is too fierce. It is difficult for individual enterprises to bargain with foreign distributors. Dealers have looked at this point and refuse to increase their prices. We have to work hard to reduce operating costs."

Ding Youyi was helpless.

Liu Jun, manager of Mingwei shoes and Garments Co., Ltd., Jinjiang, said that many small and medium-sized enterprises were afraid to take long-term orders due to the exchange rate appreciation of the renminbi and the depreciation of the US dollar.

Learned from the Jinjiang Economic Development Bureau, the average profit margin of Jinjiang enterprises in the past reached 10%, and only 5% last year, many small and medium-sized enterprises have faced zero profit margins or even negative profit margins.

Since the beginning of this year, the output value of small and medium shoe enterprises in the city is only 13 billion 300 million yuan, which is 50% lower than that of the same period last year.
