< p > "orders for Christmas this year are a little less than last year."

Ms. Zhao, sales manager of Yiwu purple Han toy company, said that in the past year, a large list was 500 thousand pieces up and down, and this year, there are tens of thousands of scattered businesses.

"Mainly because the price of customers is too low, we don't want to do it."

She said.

< /p >

< p > "the price is very low this year, and the profit margin is only about 5%."

People in charge of a foreign trade company in Yiwu called "lie Cheng" told reporters that the list of Christmas items in recent years was not very willing to accept them, and they were more willing to make big customer orders in the European and American markets.

< /p >

< p > "for example, the gifts of a super brand from an international businessman in Europe are purchased from us. There is a saying that once the economic crisis occurs, orders for the category of products will be particularly good, so this business is very well done in the past few years, but the number of orders has not increased this year, and there may be signs of recovery in Europe and America."

< /p >

< p > however, according to the analysis of Hangzhou customs experts, this reflects the weakening role of "Yiwu commodities" in promoting the export growth of the whole province. On the other hand, it also shows that Zhejiang's exports have more engine of growth, the stability of export growth is enhanced, and after the elimination of "Yiwu small commodities", Zhejiang's exports increased by 9.9% and 9.6% respectively in 782 months.
