The relevant person in charge of the china leather Industry Association said in an interview recently that china leather Industry and

The footwear industry will face fierce competition, and the impact on foreign trade will mainly come from European and American countries to China.

Non-tariff barriers in environmental protection and the impact of SARS epidemic. To this end, experts remind our country

China's leather enterprises should actively prepare for the war, while actively overcoming the adverse effects of SARS, formulate countermeasures to deal with "green barriers."

"Measures to expand the international market share of leather products.

The EU has established a "green barrier" for leather export. Recently, European and American countries have been increasing their support for China.

Under the pressure of products, the export of clothing, luggage and footwear products made in china leather also frequently encounters "green".

Barriers. "

According to foreign reports, the European Commission recently issued an announcement to launch an integrated production policy to implement emission reduction.

"Green products" strategy of products polluting the environment. The core of integrated production policy is the product from production to

The whole life cycle from use to scrapping is under the guidance and monitoring of the environmental protection department to facilitate continuous improvement.

Good environment. This work is expected to end on 10.

According to this integrated production policy, all links from design, production, sales to scrapping are needed.

It is certified by the environmental protection department. This may be a new threshold for importing products from third countries, which will greatly

It has affected the development of china leather's export trade.

According to the insiders, on September 1 1 day, 2002, the European Commission issued the order 6 1, prohibiting the use of this product.

Under the original conditions, 22 kinds of azo dyes will be produced by decomposition, which is stipulated to be in Europe after 1 1 in September this year.

What is the content of azo dyes in related products produced in the EU or imported from third countries sold in the markets of EU 15 member countries?

Don't exceed the limit. From June 30, 2004, it will be used in the textile, clothing and leather products market of the European Union.

It is forbidden to use and sell azo dyes containing chromium. As a big exporter of leather products, China's ban is harmful to China's leather.

The competitiveness of leather products in the EU market will inevitably have some adverse effects.

Because the international green consumption trend has begun to affect the export of leather products in China, shoes are all made in China at present.

The use of azo dyes in leather enterprises has been much less than in the past, but there are still a certain number of such products pouring in.

European and American markets. Facing the EU's "green barrier", ecological testing and certification of leather products has become an international market.

Prerequisites for on-site visits. Experts call on China to establish a production and testing system in line with international standards as soon as possible.

Department, for enterprises to expand the international market, to create a well-known brand escort. In fact, the Federation of china leather Industries.

Last year, the recommended logo-genuine leather LOGO ecological leather was launched.

It is understood that at present, there are 13 enterprises in China, such as Zhejiang Carson industrial co., ltd.

The products have passed the certification of the international authoritative testing organization BLC (British Leather Technology Center), and its environmental protection products will be available today.

In September 2008, she made her debut at the China International Leather Exhibition.

However, people in the industry are still worried that compared with the huge export amount, the products of these 13 enterprises are exported to the EU.

The number is very small. It is predicted that by September, some products of enterprises may not meet the requirements of the EU ban.

For, and will temporarily unable to enter the EU market. To this end, industry experts remind enterprises to prepare as soon as possible.

The impact of the SARS epidemic is lagging behind, and the export market needs to be restored. As a big country in leather production and trade, China is a big country in raw leather.

Resources, product output and import and export trade are among the best in the world. The annual export value of china leather's industry is as high as.

654.38+0.5 billion US dollars, which is an important export-oriented industry. From June to May this year, china leather's main commodities were exported.

The export volume was US$ 5.93 billion, up 24.4% year-on-year, of which the export of leather and hides reached 4.5%.

US$ 100 million, up 26.5% year-on-year, and leather and clothing exports reached US$ 620 million, up 4 1.9 year-on-year.

%。

As the impact of SARS on china leather's industries has begun to show gradually, relevant parties predict that in the second half of this year.

In 2008, this negative impact will be more prominent. Recently, china leather Industry Association has paid great attention to some leather industry backbones.

Enterprises conducted a survey, and the results showed that compared with the same period last year, the domestic and foreign trade markets of the interviewed enterprises were different.

Among them, the total domestic sales decreased by about 50%, and the total foreign trade exports also decreased by 4 1.3%.

Investigation and analysis show that the manufacturers of shoe upper leather are the most affected. Due to the impact of SARS, domestic

Shoemakers are unsalable, and foreign orders are also decreasing. Export of goatskin upper leather and cowhide upper leather

Compared with the same period last year, domestic sales dropped sharply. 95% of the enterprises surveyed indicated that their export business was affected to varying degrees.

About 65,438+00% of the shoe-making enterprises' foreign trade business basically stagnated, and 9% of the enterprises' export amount and

The same period last year was flat, and only 5% of enterprises said that their business increased slightly. In the domestic market, enterprises are also affected.

It has many influences.

The reporter learned in the interview that although the SARS epidemic has brought a serious impact to China's leather industry, it is absolutely

Most enterprises have taken active measures, such as organizing employees to continue various technical trainings, and strive to make

The impact of the epidemic has been minimized. Industry management departments also actively put forward development suggestions to the government, among which

Including suggestions to speed up export tax rebates or implement special export subsidies, improve transportation and ensure

At the same time, it is suggested that the government strengthen coordination with neighboring countries, especially Russia.

, resume the route as soon as possible. What is particularly gratifying is that our government has recently issued a series of benefits to the leather industry.

Good policy. On June 10, the Ministry of Finance of People's Republic of China (PRC) and State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China jointly issued a notice to cancel the rawhide of pigs, cattle and sheep.

Collecting agricultural specialty tax; In addition, the state has accelerated the tax refund for export products. These are very important for china leather.

The industry will overcome the impact of SARS, accelerate development and expand exports, which will have a positive impact.

Due to the impact of SARS epidemic on leather industry, it is mainly reflected in the shrinking of temporary terminal sales and logistics transportation.

Therefore, after the SARS epidemic has been controlled, most injured enterprises have begun to recover. from

It is estimated that since May, with the rapid recovery of the department store industry and the smooth recovery of the national traffic, footwear,

Domestic sales of leather will recover faster than export sales.

As for when foreign trade will resume, experts say it will be in late July at the earliest.

.

At present, most leather enterprises have resumed normal production and trade, and will soon step out of the post-SARS period.

Now new business opportunities are being actively prepared. There is optimistic analysis that shoes and other leather products sold in the domestic market have been

There is a rebound, and the market prospect is still optimistic in the second half of the year.

In the future, international demand will stabilize and expand exports. There is still potential to analyze the future demand trend of china leather in the international leather market.

Su, secretary-general of the Leather Industry Association, believes that reviewing the international leather market, leather and raw materials in the first half of this year,

The trend of weak leather prices has not been reversed. In July, the prices of leather and hides will remain low.

It is predicted that the demand for leather products in the global market will remain stable in the next few months and will be settled after 1 1 or during the summer vacation.

After that, consumer demand may start to pick up.

The American market, especially the American market, will continue to be the most important factor affecting the global economy. It is estimated that the demand of American consumers.

Begging will resume in the second half of this year. However, the prospect of consumer demand in Europe is still not optimistic, and tanners in western Europe are still

The phenomenon of sluggish production will continue and will continue to shift to eastern Europe and other regions. The continued weakness of the US dollar since May,

This has brought further pressure on the price of hides in Europe and affected the operation of tanneries. Only the world has a huge import volume.

Sex companies and internationally renowned footwear brand enterprises have not been affected. Because the retail prices of these enterprises have remained unchanged.

It is within a reasonable range, so its profit level remains stable or increases. Eastern European consumer market is still

On the bright side, the market sales of textiles, shoes, leather clothes and many other consumer goods continue to increase, with 200 million in this area.

With a population of 50 million, it is an important market that cannot be ignored.

Relevant experts believe that although China is currently facing many protectionist restrictions, especially in Europe and America.

Economists have built a "green barrier" to china leather products, but as long as leather enterprises actively meet the challenges and practice their internal strength.

To build a brand, China's leather products have the potential to expand exports.

Dr. Chen Huai, deputy director of the Institute of Market Economy of the State Council Development Research Center, believes that china leather's industry is in 2 1 century.

Facing multiple challenges, first of all, it comes from external competitors, and the biggest threat of external competition is technical means; The second is to come.

Because of the challenge of high technology; The third is the challenge from sustainable development. As the most polluted industry, it has entered 2.

1 century later, the leather industry has not made great progress in environmental protection, and its international market prospect is bound to become dim.

Light. He advocated that the sustainable development of leather industry should highlight three points: first, the use of artificially raised renewable animal resources.

Second, the processing process adopts environmental protection technology, and third, the waste products can be degraded quickly and naturally. Environmental protection products are an international trend.

Flow, if China exports leather and its products can highlight environmental protection, it will certainly receive unexpected market effects.

.

Zhang Shuhua, vice chairman of china leather Industry Association, stressed the need to expand the international market share of leather products.

It is necessary to strengthen the brand awareness of leather enterprises. She believes that it is necessary to solve the "inferior brand" of china leather industry.

Poor quality and poor price of export products ",we must first find the gap with international brands. For example, today's country

Domestic footwear brands generally lack the vision of globalization and internationalization, which has a great impact on the world footwear market, international brands and China.

Little is known about the operation mode of international trade.

In terms of development and design, European shoe-making enterprises are very good at absorbing the essence of clothing culture in exporting countries, while China makes them by itself.

Shoe enterprises lack a comprehensive and profound understanding of western shoe culture, which not only greatly restricts China shoes from going abroad.

With the pace of the international market, some enterprises have to become processing factories of international brands. She proposed to strive to spend 10 years.

15 years, three to five famous brands have been created in the world, and china leather products have gone global.

With the development of 10 years, China has become an important leather producer in the world. people travelling in a place far away from home

According to the materials, China's annual output is 80 million pieces of pigskin, 40 million pieces of sheepskin and 20 million pieces of cowhide, respectively accounting for the world.

14%, 18% and more than 50% of the total output. In addition, the annual output of leather shoes is about 2.4 billion pairs, accounting for 4.5% of the world's total output.

0%, ranking first in the world; Footwear consumption accounts for 22% of the global total consumption, and it is the world's most important producer of leather shoes.

It is also one of the consumer countries.

At present, the total annual export value of china leather's main products has reached about 654.38+0.5 billion US dollars, but no matter from

No matter the quality or value, there is still a big gap between China and the powerful leather producers.

The value of some foreign famous brand leather garments can reach thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, while the export price of leather garments in China is flat.

It's only 40 dollars each. The average export price of leather shoes is only 6 to 8 dollars per pair, which is almost the international leather market.

Cheapest on the court.

China leather Industry Association put forward the concept of "second venture" in 1998, and strived to use 10 to 15.

Time to create 3 to 5 world-famous brands, and let china leather products go global.

Before 2008, leather exports fell sharply in June 5438+ 10.

Before 2008, China * * * exported 28,000 tons of leather with a value of US$ 360 million, down 70.6% and 64.5% respectively. National macro-control has guided the extension of domestic processing industry chain.
