Breakthrough In Sino Russian Fur Trade Development

At present, China and Russia are international. Fur industry The largest two consumer countries occupy a pivotal position in the international fur industry. In order to promote orderly and healthy development of fur trade between China and Russia, China and Russia are eager to strengthen communication and establish an industry communication mechanism.

A few days ago, the first Sino Russian fur trade forum opened in Beijing National Convention Center. The forum is jointly organized by the International Fur Association, the Chinese member unit, the youth entrepreneur fur Committee and the four China fur industry associations, including the China International Fur and leather products trade association, the China Leather Association, the China fur food and Animal Import and Export Chamber of Commerce Chamber of Commerce, and so on. Representatives from the fur fur industry of China and Russia, the headquarters of the International Fur Trade Association (IFF), the representatives of Asia and China and Russia, and representatives of international auction houses attended the forum. The participants discussed the theme of "the status quo and the way out", and pointed out a way out for the Sino Russian bilateral trade in fur trade. 180.

　　 Fur trade in China and Russia needs breakthrough

Honorary chairman of the International Fur Association, Asia Deng Xiao Lan He said: "although the fur trade between China and Russia is in a good position, it is still in a stage of pending breakthrough." In particular, she pointed out that there had been some unpleasant incidents in the fur trade market between China and Russia after the untiring efforts of the Russian government. While thanking the Russian government, she also advocated that China and Russia should establish a more mature cooperation mechanism and jointly establish a positive global image of the fur industry, so as to work together to create a new silk road.

In the latest fur sales market report provided by Dai Anping, vice president of North American Fur Association, China and Russia are among the best. China and Russia have always maintained good trade relations with a world-class fur country. According to China Customs data, in 2006, China's fur garment manufacturing industry consumed 8 million furs, and Russia was the largest market in China, accounting for about 50% of the total export volume. With the growth of the markets in Japan and Hongkong and other regions in recent years, Russian Federation's share has shrunk to 32%, but it is still the largest market in China. In terms of imports, Russia also ranks first among China's mink skins and Fox Skins.

"Unfortunately, Russia's fur industry is not booming this season, and fur production has dropped by 30% by January 2014. Of course, there are many reasons for this decline, first of all, the abnormal climate warming. The warm winter in Russia has not appeared for more than 100 years. Next is the price decline, especially the price of fur raw materials and products. Again, the whole market is saturated. Over the past two years, China has surpassed Russia in fur farming. Russia's status as the first fur breeding country is gone forever. Since 2013, Russia has implemented a special national plan for fur farming, which mainly includes ensuring national procurement and preferential duties on imported equipment. Stolbov Sergey, chairman of the Russian fur Association.

He Sucheng, President of the youth entrepreneur fur Committee and President of worths company, said: "China's trade window to Russia is located in Beijing Ya Po Road. Since 2008, trade between China and Russia has been ups and downs. From the financial crisis in 2008, it gradually recovered in 2009, reached its peak in 2012, and it was a warm winter in 2013. So now, the fur industry is very depressed. As one of the largest fur markets in the country, the Beijing Ya Po Road is the largest window for China to export fur products to Russia and other Eastern European countries, and the fur sold to these countries will occupy 90% of the total trade of fur trade. {page_break}

Maksim, general manager of the youth clothing Commission, a young entrepreneur's fur export trade experience for many years, told reporters: "the price of fur is like a roller coaster. In June 2013, the price of fur rose to the highest point in history. It began to slide in August and fell by 25% by the end of the year. It is expected to drop by 10% after February 2014."

　　 Today's competition is the competition of industry chain integration.

Good and effective cooperation and excellent fur clothing products are undoubtedly the key factors to deal with fluctuations in market and price and stimulate fur sales and trade growth.

Stolbov Sergey analyzed the problems in the Sino Russian fur trade and analyzed: "the main problem in the Russian market is the smuggling of fur products and the lack of uniform requirements for producers and fur products. China and Russia fur trade should ensure quality and quantity, not only to seek stable growth of trade volume, but also to maintain good and stable trade relations. Some Chinese businessmen, who operate in China or Russia, have a bad impression of Chinese fur garments in order to get higher profits, lower clothing quality and lower price competition. At the same time, some Russian businessmen who come to China deliberately lower prices and force Chinese merchants to maintain their basic profits and reduce their quality. Therefore, Stolbov Sergey appealed to the fur industry of China and Russia to rectify industry order and standardize operation. The trade associations of both sides should guide the marketing mode of the industry and find their own position in the whole industry chain of the global fur industry, so as not to encroach on the interests of others. At the same time, it calls for industry self-discipline and work closely with relevant departments of the two governments to properly solve the problem.

"Today's competition is the competition of industry chain integration." Deng Xiaolan also said. The legal system environment, strengthen the construction of bilateral trade management system, enhance the production of fur, enhance the awareness of the legal system, vigorously support the development of compliance, establish industry standard, fur trade and market monitoring mechanism, including the monitoring of the market situation of bilateral relations, and guide the development of fur trade from quantity to quality, accelerate the upgrading of fur industry; monitor, analyze and predict the changes in market conditions, laws, policies and rules of key industries, products and key countries and regions, improve the enterprises' quick reaction capability; establish the International Advisory Committee of China Fur Trade Association, provide effective channels for relevant enterprises to obtain industry information, expand business networks, develop investment and trade cooperation, actively promote the internationalization process of fur trade, and promote the sustainable development of the industry. She solemnly advocated that China and Russia jointly provide good development for fur trade.

　　 Fur will become another explosive point in Sino Russian trade.

For a long time, the export of fur raw materials and products to Russia and some European countries occupies an important position in the industry. At present, China has become the world's largest fur importer, trading nation and deep processing country. Along with the quietly changing world fur trade structure, the economic focus of fur production has gradually shifted from Europe to Asia.

When the reporter asked Hurwitz, chairman of the International Fur Association, to analyze the 2013 China and international fur market and predict the future development trend of fur, he said: "because of the economic environment and warm winter, and other reasons, the overall sales situation of fur in 2013 is not very optimistic. At present, the price of fur is so high that it will discourage everyone. In order to promote sales, businesses will be discounted, and prices will stimulate more consumers to buy fur. Slow sales seem to be bad news for the industry in the short run, but in the long run, through promotions and other activities, more people can consume fur and love fur, so I have confidence in the future development of fur. {page_break}

Zhang Qinghui, vice president of China Fashion Designers Association, has fully affirmed the current Chinese fur clothing design field. With the continuous emergence of China's excellent fur design, China's fur trade abroad will achieve a new breakthrough in the direction of rapid, standardized and optimistic. China has become the most active and largest consumer market in the world, and has produced a large number of urban agglomeration with international synchronous consumption capability. Such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing Dalian, Pearl River Delta, Guangzhou Shenzhen, Yangtze River Delta, central China, these huge urban agglomerations can provide very large market space for the consumption of fashion products. In 2012, the total consumption of Chinese clothing was 1 trillion and 550 billion yuan, and the data in 2013 remained about 10%. This is a huge market and what a tempting cake it is. There are some designer brands, such as plain, exceptional and Liangzi, which have become an important part of fashion industry. Zhang Qinghui talked about his vision for the future of the fashion industry: "in the future development of the fashion industry, I think an important factor is that culture will become the core element of the fashion industry. We always talk about Paris, Milan, London and New York. These cities, along with the western modern lifestyles and consumption concepts, and fashion week platforms, become fashion industry chains that affect global trends and fashions and continue to extend to other regions. Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Qingdao and Dalian have set up their own fashion week as a goal of urban development, which is a force that can not be ignored in the development of fashion industry in the future.

In order to ensure the success of the forum, Deng Xiaolan specially commissioned the chairman of the youth entrepreneur fur Committee, Beijing branch chairman Li Liang and Secretary General of the China International Fur leather trade fair, Wang Ye, on November 2013, went to Russia to inspect the fur trade situation between China and Russia on the spot, and held a cooperation and exchange meeting with the Russian government and industry representatives. Through in-depth communication between the two sides, on the one hand, let the Russian industry see China's fur clothing quality upgrading in recent years, let them change their impression of Chinese products and enhance their confidence in Chinese products; on the other hand, it also enables the Chinese fur industry to understand the latest consumer demand and market dynamics in the Russian market, and design fur clothing which is more in line with Russian consumers. The visit laid a solid foundation for further in-depth cooperation between the two sides.

The holding of the Sino Russian fur trade forum has brought people deep thought and surprise. As He Sucheng looked forward to in the forum, Sino Russian fur trade has entered a new situation that needs to be broken through after the outbreak, slowing down and growth. Information asymmetry is the main reason for the stagnation of bilateral trade. The forum is to build a good communication platform for global fur practitioners to eliminate the barriers to information exchange. I believe through the thorough analysis and discussion of the representatives of China and Russia, the fur industry will become another explosive point of Sino Russian trade.
