The Situation Of Foreign Trade Is Grim. Zhejiang Has Sounded A Market Order.

Taking 1% of the country's total population and 3.8% of the population, it has created 10.8% of the country's exports and the first place in the country's general trade exports and textile and clothing exports. Since China's accession to the WTO in the past ten years, the phenomenon of "Zhejiang's foreign trade" has been attracting attention from all walks of life.

But with the continuous spread of the international financial crisis and the superposition of the adjustment cycle of domestic economic operation, Zhejiang's foreign trade, which has impressed people in the past, seems to have stopped abruptly.

To this end, the government departments and enterprises in Zhejiang have sounded the assembly number of "protecting market and ensuring orders".

This year may be a trend of low Kaiping. In November last year, Zhejiang's monthly import and export appeared the first "double drop" since January 1999.

In December, although Zhejiang's monthly exports grew year-on-year, monthly imports continued to decline.

And in January this year, Zhejiang's import and export again appeared "double drop".

Zhejiang foreign trade and Economic Cooperation Department believes that the Zhejiang foreign trade force, which is dominated by small and medium-sized export enterprises, is still facing the situation of decreasing external demand, increasing fluctuations in producer goods prices, increasing exchange rate fluctuations in some export markets, and seriously losing profits. In 2009, the pressure of maintaining stable and growing foreign trade in the province was unprecedented.

Chen Rufang, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of foreign trade and economic cooperation, said frankly that the pressure comes from five aspects: the reduction of external demand is the main factor restricting exports; the huge fluctuation of raw material prices has brought greater uncertainty to exports; the uncertainty of the future trend of RMB exchange rate has brought greater risk to exports; the rise of international trade protectionism will restrict export to a certain extent; and export enterprises face greater business risks.

"This year, Zhejiang's foreign trade may be a trend of low Kaiping. Whether it can go up or not is difficult to predict."

We must strive for the first recovery in China. "We must strengthen the confidence of the Chinese economy if we restore growth and Zhejiang's economy will take the lead in restoring growth."

Gong Zhengru, vice governor of charge of foreign trade, said at a conference on foreign trade and Economic Cooperation held in early Zhejiang province.

Gong Zheng said that the general trade oriented foreign trade structure, cheap and fine products, essential products of life, diversified export entities and emerging markets, and the perfect industrial chain built by lump economy and professional market are all strong backing for Zhejiang enterprises to cope with the international financial crisis.

"When sitting at home, orders will not drop from the sky. The more pressure is, the more companies will go abroad."

Ling Weiming, general manager of Zhejiang Changxin silk Co., Ltd. mentioned that the 2009 Panama international trade exhibition to be held in March was firm.

This company exported $46 million last year, of which 70% was exported to Latin America.

Ling Weiming said, "only by participating in the exhibition in Panama can we open the South American market.

This year I plan to attend 15 to 20 exhibitions, even if an exhibition costs 100 thousand yuan and up to 2 million yuan, but if you meet a customer at each exhibition, you can earn the cost of exhibition.

According to incomplete statistics of Zhejiang provincial foreign trade and Economic Cooperation Department, last year, the number of exhibitors in Zhejiang enterprises ranked first among all provinces and municipalities in the country. Among them, the number of booths for exhibitors from abroad accounted for 1/3 of Chinese enterprises.

10% of the export volume of Zhejiang enterprises is made at the exhibition. The cost of finding customers at the exhibition is 1/4 of other channels.

Chen Rufang said that this year they will support more than 3500 enterprises overseas exhibitors, with more than 1000 exhibitors and more than 500 exhibitors.

"The biggest measure to ensure growth is to take orders, protect market share, and prefer ten to nine empty spaces."

Every day, he answered more than 50 questions: Zhejiang Thompson Leisure Products Co., Ltd. recently came a "corporate counselor".

He talked about how to avoid the risk of foreign exchange receipts and talked to the general manager, Mr. Cohen, and how to make use of the policy export credit insurance.

This "instructor" is Xiao Wen, deputy director of the Finance Department of Zhejiang foreign trade and Economic Cooperation Department.

In February 11th, the hall sent the first 10 key business leaders to 10 key enterprises, guiding and assisting enterprises in a face-to-face way.

Hu Weikang, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of foreign trade and economic cooperation, said that since August last year, the export scale of Zhejiang has been reduced for 4 consecutive months. In order to ask the people concerned, more than 100 cadres from the Zhejiang foreign trade and economic cooperation office visited more than 1000 foreign trade enterprises to understand the difficulties of enterprises.

"Zhejiang's foreign trade enterprises add three thousand or four thousand new products every year. They mainly focus on small and medium enterprises, do not understand policies or are familiar with business, and require government departments and experts to guide them."

At the end of last year, the Zhejiang provincial foreign trade and Economic Cooperation Office launched the "international business cooperation" online service platform on the government website, and organized experts to solve the specific problems and doubts of enterprises in the field of foreign trade in the form of "net chat".

For more than a month, the platform has been invited to more than 1200 enterprises, effectively answering 1100 questions, averaging more than 50 questions per day.

From February of this year, foreign trade departments, such as foreign trade and economic cooperation, customs, inspection and quarantine, external management and State Taxation, held regularly in Zhejiang province to conduct "export mobile service stations", and provide policy guidance and business guidance to enterprises in terms of foreign trade and economic policies, foreign exchange management policies, customs classification management, tax related issues of export enterprises, inspection and Quarantine of import and export commodities, trade disputes and commercial fraud prevention.

In the first service station opened in Shaoxing, an import company in Shaoxing consulted the Customs Department about the import tariff of copper plates.

After careful enquiry by customs staff, it is suggested that, because the agreement rate of the commodity in the Asia Pacific, South America and other regions is zero, enterprises can obtain the certificate of origin from foreign businessmen, and they can enjoy a tax exemption of 600 thousand yuan a year.
