More Than 80% Of Foreign Trade Depends On "Textile Strong Areas" How To Solve The Epidemic Crisis?

Just after the resumption of the resumption of production, the outbreak of foreign epidemic suddenly broke out, and the dependence on foreign trade is more than 80%. Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, which is building the "international textile capital", how to resolve the crisis in the pressure of the epidemic?

Export is one of the "three carriages" of China's economic growth. Keqiao has the largest cloth distribution center in Asia, and textile exports account for 91%. In 2019, Keqiao's foreign trade exports increased by 15.6%, 10.6 percentage points higher than that of China. However, the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia outbreak this year has put pressure on the "textile strong area" of foreign trade.

"After the outbreak of the domestic epidemic, the pressure of foreign textile enterprises is mainly due to the delay in resuming production and delayed production, and the supply side can not be filled. After the outbreak of the outbreak of the global epidemic, enterprises have encountered problems such as cancellation of exhibitions, delay or cancellation of orders and so on. At present, textile enterprises with foreign trade are still confused." Tan Ke, director of Keqiao Commerce Bureau, said that in the first two months of this year, Keqiao's foreign trade exports decreased by 19.41% compared with the same period last year.

The pressure is coming and businesses are waiting, restarting and pause. Shaoxing Ke Qiao Dong Bo import and Export Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in foreign trade, mainly exporting garments and fabrics to Europe, South America and other countries and regions.

"After the resumption of work in February 17th, we rushed to the production of deferred orders, and now there is a serious epidemic abroad, especially in Europe, where orders have been suspended and cancelled." Jin Yan, general manager of the company, said frankly that if the epidemic situation did not go abroad, the order crisis would be difficult to eliminate. There was no real order, and the pressure of staff wages, bank loans and housing rent was indeed great.

Jin Yan said, "on the one hand, we look forward to the end of the epidemic. On the other hand, we are planning to arrange workshop workers to take turns to make use of this very special period to adjust themselves."

Since the immediate losses can not be avoided, many enterprises focus on the future and layout the competition of "post epidemic era" through self charging.

"Now the foreign orders will be more cautious. Large orders generally reduce risks by prepayment of 30% deposit." Shaoxing flag King craft dress Limited by Share Ltd, located in Keqiao District, is committed to producing the national flag for 204 countries and regions. Huang Guoxing, general manager of the company, has no doubt that there are still orders in March, but orders for the 4 and May are almost blank.

Huang Guoxing said that although the foreign trade orders were sharply reduced, because of the long storage time of the national flag, red scarves and other textiles, they would step up production and promptly seize the market at home and abroad after the outbreak. At the same time, they would also like to take this opportunity to open up domestic sales and harvest some new customers in China.

Enterprises are helping themselves, and the textile industry e-commerce platform built by the government of Keqiao is also actively helping. Global textile network and online Textile City CEO Han Chong introduced that at present, the platform is helping foreign trade enterprises to solve problems through the way of "internal and external linkage". "Overseas, we are ready to open up overseas exhibition halls, solve the problem that enterprises can not participate in overseas exhibitions, and launch" cloud Exhibition "and other forms to strengthen the promotion. To help enterprises develop the path of domestic sales.

In response to the plight of foreign trade enterprises, the local government has also introduced a series of measures to stabilize foreign trade, including the implementation of cadre service in enterprises and the improvement of subsidy standards for export credit insurance.

"We also organize foreign-related commercial law training, cross border business counseling and government banking and enterprise docking activities, and guide enterprises to solve the risks of foreign trade in many ways." Tan Ke said that at present, Keqiao will be able to tide over difficulties with foreign trade enterprises through encouragement, support and guidance.
