The Number Of Participants In The 121St Canton Fair Doubled.

In May 5th, the 121st China Import and Export Fair (hereinafter referred to as the "Canton Fair") concluded.

Reporters learned that the number of purchasers in the Canton Fair has increased significantly, and turnover has shown a steady trend.

This "war record" is basically consistent with the current foreign trade situation.

The Canton Fair, which has gone through more than 60 years, is a kaleidoscope to observe the trend of foreign trade.

At the Canton Fair, in twenty-first Century, the economic news reporter heard that the word "innovation" and "going out" were the most frequently mentioned words in Chinese enterprises. Chinese enterprises are actively pforming and upgrading. At the same time, they also encounter such problems as "price increase of raw materials, squeezing profit margins, urgent need for innovation, but high investment cost".

Zhou Shijian, senior researcher at the Sino US relations research center of Tsinghua University, believes that China's foreign trade is still lacking in stamina.

"The national policy came out soon, but it lasted for a long time.

We must take the road of emphasizing quality, deep processing, creating famous brands, expanding the market and increasing efficiency, and strive for innovation driven, pformation and upgrading.

Official data show that the 121st Canton Fair purchasers attended 196 thousand and 500 people, an increase of 5.87% over the same period (119 sessions, the same below), and the cumulative export turnover reached 206 billion 357 million yuan, up 6.9% over the same period last year.

In terms of purchasers, Asia is still the main force of the Canton Fair, accounting for 57.16% of the total.

Followed by Europe, America, Africa and Oceania.

Each region has increased to varying degrees, with the Americas growing fastest, reaching 9.60%.

Zhou Shijian believes that the growth of the number of American buyers is related to the US economic recovery.

The pace of economic recovery in the US is accelerating. Its GDP grew by 1.6% last year and is expected to reach 2.3-2.5% this year.

In addition, the number of purchasers in the "one belt and one way" countries increased significantly.

The number of purchasers coming to the 88 thousand and 600 countries, representing 45.08% of the total number of participants, increased by 8.55% over the same period last year, higher than the general average level, and 9 billion 10 million US dollars in exports to the countries along the border, an increase of 4.8% over the same period last year.

Behind the growth of data is the promotion of the "one belt and one way" initiative and the huge demand for procurement gradually appearing in the markets along the border.

The official survey of Canton Fair shows that exhibitors of building materials, large machinery, household appliances, light industrial handicrafts, textiles and clothing, food and other industries generally reflect that the market potential of the "one belt and one way" country is huge, and the purchasing demand is strong, and the turnover has increased significantly.

Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, believes that in the first quarter, China and "

The trade volume of the countries along the border has increased by 26.2%, and the relevant data of the "one belt and one road" of the Canton Fair also coincides with this situation.

The potential for cooperation between China and the countries along the border still needs to be excavated.

The double growth of the number of purchasing merchants and the volume of pactions has echoed with the trend of stable import and export since 2016.

According to the latest data released by the General Administration of customs, China's import and export trade in goods amounted to 6 trillion and 200 billion yuan in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 21.8% over the same period last year.

This is the three consecutive quarter of import and export growth.

The Canton Fair is the barometer and weathervane of China's foreign trade, said Xu Bing, deputy spokesman for China's foreign trade center.

The data of purchasers and export pactions of the 121st Canton fair show that China's foreign trade development has shown a good trend of stabilizing and upgrading.

Zhou Shijian believes that the Canton Fair began to reverse the downward trend last year, basically reflecting the trend of foreign trade warming.

"The world economy is on the right track.

The International Monetary Fund recently raised its global economic growth from 3.4% to 3.5% in 2017.

Internally, in addition to structural optimization and upgrading, China's export growth has also benefited from policy assistance, including the introduction of last year's export tax rebate policy and the reduction of taxes and fees by the state.

Imports are mainly due to rising commodity prices and other factors.

Overall, China's economy is recovering. "

The prophet of warm spring duck.

As an enterprise, we have the most personal understanding of the foreign trade situation.

In twenty-first Century, more than ten enterprises interviewed by economic reports reported that most of the current demand for foreign goods was better, and orders and turnover were showing signs of recovery.

At the Canton Fair, reporters heard that the word "the most important" was "innovation" and "going out".

"GREE has set up a wholly owned subsidiary to develop intelligent equipment.

The automation equipment used by GREE in making air conditioners is produced by GREE itself. "

Chen Zhian said, "through this process, GREE has improved the automation rate, which is also the training of GREE before heading overseas."

Chen Haiming, general manager of overseas marketing center of cold group exporters Xingxing group, told reporters that the number of orders for star refrigerators grew by 20% in the first quarter.

According to Chen Haiming, in addition to continuous R & D innovation, star group is also seeking cooperation and alliances among some well-known enterprises in Europe and the United States. In the future, it will also produce output in relatively backward countries or regions.

Huang Mingtuo, director of Galanz group's booth, told reporters that Galanz's cooperation with customers no longer stayed in the past simply buying and selling, but customized according to customer needs, thereby enhancing the level and depth of bilateral cooperation.

On the other hand, it can lay a solid foundation for enterprises to "go out".

There are also some.

To reporters, in recent years, the company has set up production lines overseas, exporting parts and components to overseas for installation and sales, so as to reduce export costs.

Although both the buyers and the export pactions have increased, many enterprises are also actively upgrading and upgrading. But Xu Bing also pointed out that exhibitors generally reflected that the current foreign trade development still faces many difficulties.

"Domestic raw material costs and prices have risen considerably, and the level of trade facilitation needs to be further improved.

The foundation of the global economic recovery is still not solid, external demand has not fundamentally improved, and various explicit and implicit trade barriers have increased. Many buyers are still cautious in their orders.

There are still many uncertainties and unstable factors in the whole year, and the difficulties are not short-term. We still need to make arduous efforts to achieve the goal of stabilizing the foreign trade in the whole year.

Xu Bing said frankly.

Zhou Shijian believes that China's foreign trade is still lacking in stamina.

"The national policy came out soon, but it lasted for a long time.

Chinese enterprises still need to take the road of emphasizing quality, deep processing, creating famous brands, expanding markets and increasing profits, and strive for innovation driven, pformation and upgrading.

Chen Haiming felt the same way.

Chen Haiming believes that if enterprises want to develop, especially against the sharp rise in prices of raw materials, they must take the road of branding.

Because big brands have stronger resistance to raw material price increases, but no brand premium enterprises will be struggling. If we simply spell product costs, profits will continue to be eroded and even lost.

But Chen Haiming also admitted that the cost of taking the branding way is very high.

This is the bottleneck for many foreign trade enterprises.

In this regard, Bai Ming believes that innovation can not be completed overnight, whether enterprises or places, should be gradual, so that some enterprises, products and markets will have a new competitive advantage.

In particular, enterprises that are not rich in resources should combine their advantages, step by step, step by step from all aspects, such as management, design, function and so on, so as to form an overall competitive advantage.
