Export Growth In Emerging Markets Is Fast Becoming A New Growth Point For Exports.

This year, due to the global economic slowdown and the shrinking of international market demand, traditional labor intensive industries are in low export.

Yesterday, reporters learned from the Foshan customs, 1~7 months, ceramic brick, textile and clothing, toys and other seven traditional export products, the export of 2 billion 145 million U.S. dollars, compared with the same period last year growth rate dropped by nearly 26 percentage points; bags, plastic products, iron and steel products exports decreased significantly; textile, clothing, footwear and toys export growth declined sharply.

However, due to the positive response of enterprises and the favorable factors such as the export tax rebate increase, the export structure has optimistic changes, and the export of new markets has increased rapidly.

Worried about the export of traditional ceramic products, such as ceramic tiles, textile and clothing, toys, bags, footwear, plastic products and iron and steel products, Foshan's traditional superior export products account for nearly 30% of the total value of local exports for a long time.

Customs statistics show that the export market of luggage, plastic products and iron and steel products has generally declined or the growth rate has declined three.

In 1~7 months, Foshan's general trade export luggage and luggage amounted to 54 million 650 thousand US dollars, down 12.4%, exports of plastic products 94 million 950 thousand US dollars, down 3.7%, and the export value of iron and steel products dropped by more than 20%.

Exports of textiles, clothing, footwear and toys were the most obvious. The growth rate fell by more than 10 percentage points. Among them, toy exports were the most affected and the growth rate dropped by 29 percentage points.

In addition, the scale of export enterprises of luggage and iron and steel products has declined.

In 1~7 months, the number of general trade export enterprises in Foshan decreased significantly. Among them, only the general trade export iron and steel products enterprises decreased by 31 compared with the same period last year.

There are positive changes in the export structure. "In the grim situation of the traditional labor-intensive products export is generally cold, in order to maintain exports, the export enterprises adjust their export structure", the person in charge said that although the demand in the international market is generally shrinking, it also exists in the phenomenon of "cold and hot uneven", and some products are blocked by exports to the United States, if the EU is sold smoothly, and vice versa.

Since the beginning of this year, the demand for the US and Asian markets has continued to slack. At the beginning of the year, the EU abolished the quota system for textile exports and lowered the monitoring threshold, which is conducive to the export of clothing to the EU market.

"Under the new circumstances, enterprises have rapidly adjusted their export direction, and Foshan's textile and garment exports to the EU have more than doubled. Meanwhile, new markets such as Africa have been actively expanded to make up for the traditional market's hindered effects."

To avoid the export blocked market, stabilize and expand other markets, the export of shoes and toys outside the market is hindered.

In the case of exports to the European Union and the United States, Foshan footwear began to switch to Canada and the Middle East, and toys sold to Russia, which has achieved remarkable results. This year, the export of footwear to Canada has increased 2.4 times.

Analysis of the global economic slowdown is the fundamental reason. "This year, the situation of Foshan's export trade is grim, and the reasons for the widespread downturn of traditional exports are many". The responsible person said that in the external environment, the global economic slowdown caused the international market demand to shrink, and the order decreased obviously. This is the fundamental reason for the decline of exports; in terms of internal conditions, the first row was the increase in raw material prices and the rise in labor costs, resulting in a substantial increase in the cost of products. In addition, the accelerated appreciation of the RMB exchange rate and the reduction of export tax rebates also had an adverse impact on the export of traditional superior products.

In recent years, textile, clothing, footwear and toys have encountered frequent trade frictions in the European and American markets, slowing the pace of Foshan's exports, weakening external demand and increasing export costs this year, making exports of textiles, clothing, footwear and toys even more difficult and faster growth.

On the other hand, the scale of export luggage and iron and steel products has declined, reflecting the poor export environment of large export enterprises in this year's export environment.

Looking forward to a warmer policy, the export of traditional products is the most difficult year for Foshan's export enterprises in 2008.

"In recent years, the state has adjusted its macroeconomic policy from" two prevention "to" one insurance one control "in the second half of the year, and maintained the steady and rapid development of the economy and controlling the excessive price rise as the primary task of macroeconomic regulation, which is good news for the traditional industry.

In the grim situation of widespread cold exports, recently, foreign trade policy has also frequently found signs of warming.

Since August 1st, the export tax rebate rate of some textiles and garments has increased from 11% to 13%. At present, the Guangdong provincial government has also introduced measures to support the development of foreign trade and economic cooperation, with a centralized investment of 310 million yuan, which is used to support the export of enterprises in the province. Among them, 230 million yuan will be granted to the general trade export of seven types of traditional labour intensive commodities such as pottery and porcelain and some iron and steel products, textile and clothing in the second half of this year.

"These policies will encourage enterprises to develop new markets such as the Middle East, Africa and Russia," the responsible person said, with the encouragement of policies, it will help to alleviate the severe situation facing foreign trade and enhance the power to expand exports.
