Foreign Trade "Results Report" Released "Sword Of Pressure" Hanging High

The Customs General Administration released 8 days, from 1 to May, the total value of imports and exports was 9 trillion and 470 billion yuan, down 7.8% compared with the same period last year.

Of which, exports were 5 trillion and 400 billion yuan, an increase of 0.8%, and imports of 4 trillion and 70 billion yuan, down 17.2%.

Jiangsu, as a major foreign trade province, completed 1 trillion and 320 billion yuan in the same period, down 4.5% from the same period, of which 812 billion 30 million yuan was exported, down by 1.2%.

Comparing the overall situation of the whole country, our province's import and export related indicators vary, and the "sword of pressure" hanging on the head of foreign trade enterprises is still cold and pressing.

A few days ago, the Nanjing customs held a forum on foreign trade enterprises at the provincial level.

In the speeches of the CEOs, "decline" has almost become the common language they describe the track of foreign trade this year.

Zhang Peigen, deputy chief of Limited by Share Ltd of Jiangsu SOHO International Group, said: "from 1 to May, our import and export decreased by 6.47% compared with the same period last year, and the export dropped by 10%."

"Our company used to import large quantities of raw materials, such as iron ore, wool and wood, which has been in decline for two years. The company has set up a storage terminal in Jiangyin.

There is a new material factory.

However, under the influence of the big environment, the pressure this year is very great. In the 1-5 months, the import and export volume of US $230 million has dropped by 24%.

Jiangsu Sea Enterprises

Bi Wu, general manager of the company.

A US capital company, which mainly produces computer CPU in Suzhou, exported $1 billion 850 million last year, which has dropped by about 30% this year.

For China's foreign trade enterprises, an important reason for the pressure of import and export business is that the international economic recovery is weak, and the foreign trade situation has not fundamentally improved.

From the perspective of China's main trading partners, exports in the first 5 months, except for exports to the US and ASEAN, declined to the European Union and Japan.

The total import and export volume has been negative for 8 consecutive months, especially for 5 consecutive months, reaching two digit negative growth.

Analysis of the "Jiangsu made" export product structure,

Labor intensive products, such as light industry shoes and hats, account for a considerable proportion.

In the past two years, the export price of "fierce stagnation" caused by fierce competition in the international market and the squeeze of two domestic labor costs have made many foreign trade enterprises struggling.

The average annual increase of labor cost is 20%, which is the normal state that domestic enterprises must face.

Wang Liping, general manager of Lianyungang Golden clothing company, who specializes in tapestry production, said that more than 300 workers in the company rose year by year, which now costs at least 120 million yuan a year.

Zhu Jin, general manager of Kaiyuan International Group, Jiangsu, said, "the company mainly exports clothing, textiles, footwear and other products.

In recent years, the cost of labor has risen considerably, resulting in a compressing profit for enterprises.

We feel that the new advantages have not been fully established, but the traditional advantages are slowly losing. "
