After The Festival, Some People In Wenzhou Were Full Of Bowls.

With the spread and deepening of the financial crisis, 2009 was regarded as the most difficult year in the current economic recession.

Affected by the reduction of demand, Wenzhou's half stoppage and shutdown of enterprises has reached 39.1% at the end of last year. After the Spring Festival holiday, enterprises in difficult times, especially the manufacturing enterprises, are able to fully restore their production capacity.

About 3 enterprises have not yet started. "The economic situation in 2009 is even more severe than in 2008."

Zhou Dewen, vice president of China SME Association and President of Wenzhou SME Development Association, told reporters.

Wenzhou's relevant departments at the end of December last year, the survey of 25227 industrial enterprises in the city showed two additivity, 39.1% half stoppage and half stoppage.

After the Spring Festival, how are these enterprises returning to work?

Zhou Dewen said that the situation of enterprises resuming work is changing every day. The general situation in Wenzhou is that about 30% of the enterprises have not started yet, and some of the enterprises have not reached saturation production.

Most of the enterprises that did not start their businesses were small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, mainly producing lighters, clothing, glasses and so on.

Zhou Dewen said that the demand for labor in Wenzhou will decline by 30%~40% this year, and the total labor volume in the Yangtze River Delta region will decline by about 30%.

The reemployment rate of foreign trade clothing industry is high. It is estimated that Wenzhou's foreign trade garment enterprises account for 1/3 of the total garment enterprises.

In the enterprises that started, foreign trade clothing enterprises accounted for a large proportion.

"At present, foreign trade clothing enterprises are better than expected after resuming labor."

Wu Yiheng, Secretary General of the Wenzhou clothing trade association's foreign trade branch, said that from the beginning of eight to the fifteen of the first month, we have sampled 66 enterprises, only 2 have not started, and the business operation rate has accounted for about 97%.

It is understood that the local foreign trade enterprises this year's Spring Festival holiday time is generally longer, there is a delayed start phenomenon, after the first month, fifteen returned to work more.

In the past, there was a very full start of the task, but this year, due to the small number of orders, many enterprises started to work, but they did not return to production in full.

Wu Yiheng said that half of the foreign trade clothing manufacturers did not fully restore production.

Wenzhou customs statistics show that foreign trade exports in January 2009 were 1 billion 75 million US dollars, down 1.42% from the same period last year.

Among them, clothing and clothing accessories exported $120 million, an increase of 12.98% over the same period, but the growth rate has declined compared with the same period last year.

The industry believes that the decline in export growth is mainly due to a significant reduction in external demand.

The apparel industry is likely to be worse this year than the 2008 due to the unfilled orders.

Wu Yiheng, Secretary General of the Wenzhou clothing trade association's foreign trade clothing branch, said, "it is not clear how long the financial turmoil will follow. We can only see the situation after the commencement of the business, and slowly grope for it."

An industry expert who asked not to be named told reporters that "with the further shrinking of international trade, the competition in the international market will intensify. This year, the threat of trade protectionism is increasing globally, and the possibility of export commodities encountering anti-dumping and other trade barriers is also increasing. The external situation facing enterprises is becoming increasingly severe."

For the impact of the introduction of the national textile export tax rebate and revitalization plan on the clothing industry, Zhou Dewen told reporters that the economic operation has certain rules and the pulling effect of national policies will take some time. It is expected that at the end of 2009 and early 2010, the overall market situation will be better.

In the interview, there are also clothing business executives, said the national textile export tax rebate, revitalization plan and other policies, so that the confidence of enterprises has improved.

[case 1] a small number of enterprise orders are saturated with some channels of their own, quality control, reputable enterprises, relatively good production conditions.

According to the statistics of spot checks of the Wenzhou clothing trade association's foreign trade branch, seven or eight of the 66 foreign trade clothing enterprises are saturated.

Reporters learned that some production saturated enterprises, orders have been discharged in June, and even continue to increase staff and expand production.

Zhang Zhaoguo, chairman of Wenzhou Ruian innovation dress, told reporters that the company started work as early as the beginning of six this year, as well as in previous years, and the company's orders are relatively saturated, which is now in June.

In this regard, Zhang Zhaoguo concluded that the maintenance of customer relationship network is relatively good, and the quality has been controlled.

Hu Chunyan, general manager of the company, also told reporters yesterday that "although the company's business has been affected by the financial crisis, due to the relatively large number of customers, the order is still relatively saturated, and it is now at the end of March."

Now, we are ready to start the new plant.

She said there was still a "machine" in the financial crisis. In general, confidence was still there.

[case 2] "it is good to have 2%~3% profits". "The profit of the former 10% is now good enough to remain at 2%~3%, and the risk is great."

Yesterday, Wenzhou Haizhou costumes chairman Li Linfeng told reporters.

It is understood that due to insufficient orders, Haizhou clothing company has not resumed work until the end of the year.

Li Linfeng said that there are many reasons why the company's business is in trouble. One is that there are no suitable technical workers, and two is to prepare for the relocation of the factory to the city, and it will take 2 months to start.

In addition, Li Linfeng said that the original company's internal and external sales business accounted for half of the total, but the financial crisis led to a 65% decline in the company's foreign trade orders, while domestic sales dropped by half at the most.

Li Linfeng said that this year plans to increase the proportion of domestic sales to more than 90%, improve product mix and grades, do independent brands.

Yu Qiangchun, chairman of fan Xi Shi clothing company, told reporters that at present, the company started normally and orders were maintained at a certain level. However, because of low prices, profits also declined. In the past, the profit margin could be maintained at 8%~10%. Now the profit margin is maintained at 4%~5%.

Now the company focuses on reducing costs, product development and quality improvement, and hopes to maintain economic recovery.

According to some local clothing enterprises, many businesses will discount sales under the financial crisis, so they will lower costs in every link, including reducing prices to suppliers.

Yu Qiangchun said that many enterprises even now do not make money, they have to take orders, because they can not afford to pick up single workers.

I hope I can keep the factory running until the economic recovery.
