The Situation Of Foreign Trade Rose Steadily During The Year Of Ma.

The development of China's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > foreign trade < /a > has entered a medium speed development period. The focus of boosting foreign trade in the future should be changed from pursuing growth to "reducing capital and increasing efficiency" for enterprises, integrating "shuffle", and enhancing the competitiveness of products and enterprises in the international market, < /p > P.

< p > recently, journalists visited Ningbo, Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao and other ports. At the beginning of the new year, ports and ports were busy and prosperous.

The latest data from Customs show that the throughput of ports at various ports has reached a record high.

Some port owners and foreign trade owners indicated that with the steady increase of port cargo throughput, China's foreign trade situation gradually went out of the "trough", showing the trend of total stability and recovery and gradual structural pformation.

< /p >

< p > reporter's visit found that over the past year, China's foreign trade situation has gone out of the "V character" trend, especially since the second half of this year, with the rapid growth of trade in goods, the growth rate of foreign trade has gradually stabilized and picked up.

At the same time, the opening up of emerging markets and the rapid growth of trade in high-tech products show a stable and favorable trend in foreign trade structure.

At the beginning of the new year in 2014, port throughput and export volume continued to rise, and the overall trend of foreign trade stabilization was even more obvious.

< /p >

< p > at the same time, as China surpasses the US as the largest trading nation, the re growth of foreign trade may encounter "ceiling".

During the interview, most foreign trade enterprises and experts suggested that China should adapt to the developing situation of foreign trade as soon as possible, continue to maintain stable foreign trade policy, and further reduce burden for enterprises, and clear up all kinds of obstacles to fair and stable development of the market.

< p > < strong > cargo throughput has reached a new high level < /strong > < /p >

Before and after the Spring Festival, the reporter came to the second container terminal of Ningbo port (601018, stock bar), located in Beilun District, Ningbo.

As the hub of foreign trade freight pport in the Yangtze River Delta area, it is very busy here.

"Now is not the peak season for foreign trade and import and export, but the cargo throughput is still very large."

Lv Wenbin, manager of the Ministry of Commerce of Ningbo Port Co second container terminal branch, told reporters that in 2013, a total of about 3800000 containers were loaded up and down, an increase of 10.8% over the same period in 2013.

< /p >

< p > in the Shanghai Port Waigaoqiao (600648, Guba) port area, Qingdao port and Tianjin port (600717, stock bar) and other places, the reporter interviewed the wharf randomly all said that this year's overall situation is better than the same period last year. "Now the berths are more intense.

The most obvious feeling is that our workload is heavy and tired.

Cai Weichun, deputy general manager of Container Terminal Company, who is responsible for the operation of Waigaoqiao two or three phase wharf, told the reporter that "wharf operation is basically at full load".

< /p >

< p > reporter visited to understand that during the Spring Festival, the busy port ushered in "a good start", which mainly extended the trend of cargo throughput growth in 2013.

In 2013, under the background of the weak global economic growth and the lacklackness of the world shipping market, the main ports of our country achieved a "full line" of throughput.

The source of this article is lookout observation network < /p >.

Less than P, for example, the cargo throughput of Ningbo port in 2013 reached 4.96 billion tons, up by 9.5% over the same period last year, ranking third in China's mainland port and the top four in the world. Container throughput reached 16 million 774 thousand mark, an increase of 7% over the same period last year, and the volume of containers ranked third in mainland ports and six in the world's ports.

In 2013, Tianjin port's cargo throughput exceeded 5 billion tons, and container throughput exceeded 13 million TEUs. It became the first 5 million ton port in northern China.

< /p >

< p > Shanghai's Waigaoqiao two or three phase wharf mainly anchored the US west route.

The cargo volume of this route can account for 40% of the total throughput of Zhendong company, reflecting the heat of Sino US trade to a certain extent.

"This comparison shows that the recovery of the US economy is still more obvious."

Cai Weichun believes that in the case of the US recovery and the European plight, port enterprises are cautiously optimistic. "Shanghai port's container throughput increased by 2.7% to 2 million 997 thousand TEUs in January.

This has once again refreshed the monthly throughput records of China's port enterprises, and has made a good start.

< /p >

< p > reporter learned that according to the prediction of Shanghai shipping center, global shipping will increase by 7% or so in 2014, and the capacity of the new ship will increase considerably.

"This means that the cargo throughput of the main ports will increase to a certain extent."

Lv Wenbin said.

< /p >

< p > < strong > the foreign trade situation is steadily rising, < /strong > /p >

Less than P, behind the rise of port cargo throughput, China's foreign trade situation has been stabilized and rebounded by the economic downturn in Europe and the United States.

< /p >

< p > "in 2013, the export situation of the enterprises was very good, and the growth was very fast, sweeping away the export decline since the financial crisis."

According to Pan Xiaoying, sales manager of Zhejiang Ningbo Yi Ren Toys Co., Ltd., while continuing to do well in the European and American markets, the company began to actively expand to the emerging market and seize the high-end toy market in these markets, so sales growth was very significant.

As the largest wooden toy processing enterprise in China, the company achieved sales of 550 million yuan in 2013, an increase of more than 30% over the same period, of which 90% accounted for exports.

< /p >

< p > export rebounded to promote steady growth of foreign trade.

In 2013, Zhejiang achieved a total import and export value of US $335 billion 850 million, of which the export growth rate returned to "two digits" to 10.8%.

Customs analysis believes that Zhejiang's foreign trade has gradually come out of the trough.

According to customs statistics, the total value of imports and exports (excluding exchange rate factors) increased by 7.5% in Zhejiang in 2013, of which the export volume was 248 billion 810 million US dollars, an increase of 10.8%. The import value of US $87 billion 40 million decreased by 0.96%.

< /p >

< p > Tianjin Business Council Wang Lei said that in 2013, Tianjin achieved an import and export volume of US $128 billion 520 million, a record high.

In 2013, the export vitality of Tianjin's private enterprises continued to grow, and the growth rates were higher than those of state-owned and foreign-funded enterprises 24.5% and 16.3% respectively. The export performance of emerging markets was active, and Tianjin's exports to Africa, Brazil and ASEAN increased by 32.3%, 28.1% and 15% respectively, and emerging markets accounted for 45.8% of the city's export share.

The import volume of foreign trade was also strong, and the annual imports of iron ore, integrated circuits, automobiles, aircraft and other top four commodities exceeded 7 billion US dollars.

< /p >

< p > Qingdao customs statistics, in 2013, Shandong's foreign trade import and export reached US $267 billion 160 million, an annual historical high, an increase of 8.8% over the same period last year.

Of which, exports of US $134 billion 510 million, an increase of 4.5%, and imports of US $132 billion 650 million, an increase of 13.5%.

Ma Weigang, director of the Qingdao Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said that in the face of severe and complicated foreign trade situation, Qingdao's import and export performance in 2013 has been rising steadily month by month.

< /p >

< p > < strong > reducing the efficiency of the "shuffle" node < /strong > /p >

In 2013, China's foreign trade volume exceeded US $4 trillion for the first time, surpassing the United States as the world's largest cargo trading country.

Cai Weichun said, "under such circumstances, even if there is still growth in foreign trade, there is little room for it.

Taking Waigaoqiao wharf, a container crane now handles more than 240 thousand containers per year, which is already the limit.

Further growth is not conducive to safe production and energy conservation.

The key point in future is not the quantity of goods, but the optimization of cargo structure and the increase of added value.

Take Zhendong company as an example. In the early years, we also exported brooms, and later changed to < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > products. In recent years, it has been gradually replaced by mechanical and electrical products such as tablet computers and portable computers.

< /p >

< p > the enterprises in the front line of foreign trade have deep feelings about this.

Ningbo Tianya < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > is a foreign trade enterprise specializing in high-end brand foundry. It has been severely tested in the financial crisis.

At present, the business situation is still not improving. In 2013, sales revenue was 156 million yuan and gross profit margin was around 13%.

"Compared with 2012, a slight decline, but this achievement has not been easy."

Yao Jiangang, deputy general manager of Ningbo Tianya Garments Co., Ltd., said that the situation of foreign trade enterprises in the future will be even more severe.

< /p >

< p > some foreign trade experts believe that with the change of the global trade pattern, the trend of China's foreign trade development is changing to structural opportunities and entering a medium speed development stage, that is, the opportunity brought by the rapid growth of foreign trade is decreasing. At the same time, enterprises and products that are truly competitive and good quality will gain more foreign trade opportunities.

If foreign trade enterprises can grasp this opportunity change, they will win new advantages in the competition of international trade.

< /p >

< p > "the high-end toy market still has great potential in China, which is the main direction for the future development of enterprises."

Zhou Zhaisheng, executive vice president of Ningbo Yi Ren Toys Co., Ltd., believes that strengthening the enterprises themselves and improving the quality of products can still find structural opportunities for foreign trade exports.

< /p >

< p > the company started to make its own brand and domestic market in the past few years, and in 2013, its domestic and foreign sales of its own brand reached 175 million yuan, and its dependence on foundry was further reduced.

"After the financial crisis, enterprises began to focus on independent brands and domestic market, which is very difficult for enterprises. But if we do not take this road, relying solely on foundry, foreign trade enterprises will have no future."

Zhou Zhaisheng said.

< /p >

A number of foreign trade enterprises visited by P said that the foreign trade situation is stabilizing, and there are both challenges and opportunities. The key is how to position themselves and cope with the situation.

Yao Jiangang, Zhou Zhaisheng and other business owners believe that enterprises still have a lot of space to strengthen their management and reduce their costs and enhance their competitiveness through product innovation.

< /p >

< p > < strong > clearing policy precision force < /strong > /p >

< p > reporter's visit found that although various departments at various levels have taken many specific measures in alleviating the burden of enterprises, promoting technological pformation and strengthening independent innovation, some policies are still not smooth enough to cause the development of foreign trade enterprises.

Some foreign trade enterprises suggested: < /p >

< p > one is to steadily implement the policy of promoting the development of foreign trade, and to reduce the burden and allow enterprises to "go into battle lightly".

Experts believe that the overall situation of foreign trade in 2014 is stable. The government needs to continue to improve export tax rebate and export convenience policies, and strive to provide efficient and convenient foreign trade services to foreign trade enterprises, and open up all kinds of explicit and invisible barriers.

Cai Weichun said that the innovative supervision mode of "first entry area and post declaration" in the customs clearance of the free trade area has greatly improved the convenience of trade in goods. It is suggested that, based on the assessment, we should steadily expand the scope of the pilot enterprises of "first entry area and post declaration", and stabilize the trade of goods.

< /p >

< p > two, on the basis of stabilizing trade in goods, we can vigorously expand the service trade with high added value.

Shen Xiaoming, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee and Secretary of the Pudong New Area District Committee, said that although the FTA has restrictions on the size and fencing, it is aimed at traditional trade in goods, and can not restrict trade in services.

We should make full use of the service trade function of the free trade area, promote the development of the service industry in the surrounding area, and realize the adjustment of the economic structure.

Many representatives of Pudong also suggested that they could play the spillover effect of the free trade area, vigorously develop IT services outsourcing, pharmaceutical research and development outsourcing industries, providing a large number of high-quality jobs and changing the trade structure.

< p > three is to enrich the level of financial services and optimize foreign trade financial services.

This reporter understands that at present, more than 80% of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises are short of money, of which only about 5% get bank loans, and the financial cost of using bank funds is as high as 15%.

The small and micro enterprises in Ningbo have launched the simple export insurance protection mode for small and micro enterprises, giving enterprises policy tilt in terms of underwriting conditions and insurance procedures such as insurance (rest assured) rates, and increasing the compensation risk tolerance of the growth oriented foreign trade enterprises to 120%.

< /p >

< p > four is that the government pays more attention to building a fair and just foreign trade environment, and gives the enterprise the initiative to upgrade and pform.

Some owners reflected that under the situation of foreign trade situation, the government asked enterprises to pform and set up a lot of elimination measures, but whether there were opportunities for development and how to pform them, or should they be left to the enterprises themselves to decide.

"I hope that the government will take more measures to create a fair and just foreign trade environment for foreign trade enterprises, and at the same time give enterprises a little time to upgrade and pform themselves, because enterprise development is a process after all."

Ningbo Changqing < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > household goods < /a > executive deputy general manager Cha Shouheng said.
