Quanzhou Footwear Export Orders To The First Quarter Of 2011

In the first 8 months of this year

Focus on not changing prices to new markets

"From now on, the footwear export situation will continue to improve next year."

Lee, who has been engaged in footwear exports for nearly 20 years, told reporters that although the debt crisis occurred in some EU countries this year, compared with the financial crisis period, the economies of countries such as Europe and the United States are indeed recovering.

Quanzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau official said, although the export situation of footwear products is good, many shoe companies in our city have not relaxed their vigilance. After adopting fine production management, the production efficiency of Guo Hui shoes and shoes has increased by 30% at least. This year, PEAK, Anta, XTEP and other enterprises have built a more comprehensive sales network in Europe, the Americas and Asia, taking the lead in the development mode of "price fixing and cost pressing", and actively developing and cultivating emerging markets such as Africa and the Middle East.

Bright spot

"At the beginning of this year, 2 new production lines were added, with a capacity of over 200 thousand pairs in one month, and the total export volume is expected to exceed 2 million pairs this year."

Li, manager of the foreign trade department of Quanzhou run Tai shoes industry Co., Ltd., with a slight excitement, said that this year's orders were much better than last year. At present, they are already full load production. Even if European customers are willing to place larger orders, they will be unable to eat for the time being limited by the production capacity.

Other shoe factories are similar.

According to statistics, from 1 to August, the inspection and Quarantine Department of our city accepted the 59833 batch of export footwear products and the value of goods was 1 billion 840 million dollars, up 20.1% and 23% respectively.

Quanzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau responsible person said that in the first 8 months of this year, the export of footwear products in our city increased significantly, mainly because of the recovery of the European and American markets.

According to statistics, from 1 to August, our footwear products exported to the EU in the 20627 batch and 568 million US dollars, up 30% and 34.2% compared to the same period last year, and exported to the United States 9170 and 375 million US dollars, up 47.2% and 48.4% compared to the same period last year.

Difficult exchange rate risk borne by customers

Many enterprises admit that exchange rate and employment must be broken through.

"As long as effective communication with customers, the exchange rate problem is still better solved."

Li disclosed his secret. The next order from European customers is usually three months from production to shipment. When the initial order is signed, the contract will be rewritten. If the exchange rate fluctuates when the exporter delivers the goods, the importer must compensate the exporter for the loss due to exchange rate fluctuations. Because the risk of exchange rate fluctuation is borne by foreign customers, the enterprise will not have to worry too much about the losses caused by it.

In terms of employment, Zhang Yi, a shoe and clothing company in Jinjiang, said that the wages of many enterprises tend to be reasonable and the rest time tends to be stable, so that employees are not easy to lose.
