Why did Jiangxi's foreign trade fall back in the first quarter?

Zhang Jie, director of the trade and economic administration of Jiangxi Statistical Bureau, thinks that there are three reasons for the decline in general trade exports, the decline in exports of electromechanical products and major traditional commodities, and the decline in exports to some of the trading partners.

According to local official statistics, from the main traditional commodities, exports of bags and similar containers in Jiangxi dropped by 23.9% in the first quarter, exports of plastic products decreased by 19.5%, footwear exports dropped by 15.6%, textile yarn, fabrics and products exports decreased by 15%, and clothing and accessories exports dropped by 7.9%.

Cao Qingyun said that on the whole, Jiangxi's economic structure was further optimized in the first quarter, and its quality and efficiency were further enhanced.

"At the same time, we should also see that the development environment at home and abroad is still complicated, and that the deep-seated structural contradictions need to be resolved for a long time, and the development of the real economy faces many difficulties."
