Houma: "Dry Wharf" holds up the logistics industry

Houma, the capital of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was founded in the eighth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. It is a traffic artery connecting east and west and connecting north and south, and is known as the "dry dock".

Houma has good regional advantages, economic hinterland, infrastructure conditions, and multiple advantages of government and large enterprises helping each other.

At the beginning of June, when the reporter came to Houma, he was greeted by a magnificent scene of "Qian Fan vying for development and traffic".

At present, there are about 100 trains and 10000 cars entering and leaving Houma every day. In 2007, the railway freight volume of Houmabei Marshalling Station alone reached 65.438+0.5 billion tons, and nearly 2 million passengers were sent. Houma Huang San Transportation Group's freight volume exceeds130,000 tons, sending passengers10,000,000 passengers. ...

Houma is a transportation hub in southern Shanxi. Located at the turning point of the railway passage between North China and Northeast China in the domestic section of the "New Eurasian Continental Bridge", it is an important bridgehead for external traffic in central China; South Tongpu, Houxi and Houyue railways in Houma, Universiade, Jinhan Expressway, Jinhan Highway and National Highway 108 meet in Houma urban area.

"At the beginning of the reform and opening up, Houma took advantage of this regional advantage to seize the opportunity and build a commercial market. 1984, Xintian Market, the first comprehensive wholesale market covering an area of 100 mu in Shanxi Province, was established, dealing in dozens of categories and tens of thousands of commodities such as clothing, shoes, hats, cloth, hardware appliances and small department stores. At that time, it attracted thousands of self-employed people from more than 0 provinces and cities across the country, and took the lead in opening the door to the trade market in the province. By 1990, various commercial markets in Houma had developed to 17, and the annual turnover exceeded 1 100 million yuan. " Tan Xiaojun, director of houma city Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said.

At present, there are 4 1 market in Houma, including clothing, fruits and vegetables, household appliances and furniture, building materials and agricultural materials. Commodities radiate to more than 20 provinces, 100 counties and cities, with more than 60,000 market employees and more than 30,000 varieties. In 2007, the market turnover was more than 7 billion yuan, and the tax revenue was more than 30 million yuan. It is a local pillar industry.

"To develop the logistics industry, Houma has the advantages of location and transportation, as well as customs, commodity inspection, ports, bonded logistics centers and provincial economic and technological development zones." Wang Xingan, secretary of Houma Municipal Party Committee, said.

It is reported that there are nearly 200 enterprises in Houma, such as freight forwarding, warehousing, consignment and logistics information consultation. We have cooperated with ports such as taiyuan railway administration, China Railway Container Group Corporation, China Shipping Container Group Corporation, Tianjin, Qingdao, Lianyungang, Rizhao, etc., ensuring fast and smooth freight transportation, two-way circulation and large-scale direct transportation, and becoming a "dry port" for Linfen, Yuncheng and Jincheng to develop export-oriented economy.

"There is another important reason for Houma to vigorously develop the logistics industry, which comes from the support of the national industrial policy." Wang Xingan, secretary of Houma Municipal Party Committee, explained.

In the 11th Five-Year Plan of our province, Houma is once again planned as a secondary regional central city, one of the three major logistics sub-centers and one of the four major science and technology information ports, next to Taiyuan, alongside Datong and Changzhi. In the 11th Five-Year Plan of Modern Logistics in Shanxi Province, Houma was identified as Taiyuan as the center, Datong and Houma as the regional economic center cities and one of the main coastal dry port hubs.

Since 2006, Houma has promoted more than 0/00 projects through Shanghai Fair, Hong Kong Fair, China Fair and Coal Fair, and signed 36 projects with a total investment of 0/53 billion yuan.

"In just two years, a number of logistics projects with large scale, full functions, advanced operation mode, no pollution, low energy consumption and high efficiency, such as Houma North Light Industry City, Tongsheng Pharmaceutical Logistics Distribution Center, Fanglve Bonded Logistics Center and Baote International Logistics Center, have successively landed in Houma." Speaking of which, Ma Biao, deputy secretary of Houma Municipal Committee and mayor, showed a satisfied smile.

When the reporter interviewed in Houma North Light Industry City, he happened to meet more than 100 merchants from Zhejiang. He took two buses and made a special trip to the northern light industry city for field investigation, ready to settle in and operate.

Zhou, general manager of Houma North Light Industry City, told reporters: "Houma North Light Industry City has a planned area of 2,000 mu and will be built in four phases. The first and second projects are commerce, processing and logistics, the third project is storage area, and the fourth project is living area. The first phase of the project was completed in August 2007. After the completion, the Northern Light Industry City will develop a large number of light industries with high technology content, no pollution and high added value, and form a super-large production, trade and logistics base integrating production, wholesale, agency, monopoly and product display. "

Fortunately, Houma is about to start construction of Houma Freight Hub of Universiade Expressway this year. It is one of the key hub freight centers of Universiade Expressway approved by the provincial government and financed by Shanxi Logistics Center. It is also a large-scale highway freight hub integrating trade logistics, chain operation, logistics distribution and e-commerce.

"If all these important logistics projects are completed and put into production, Houma's urban logistics, regional logistics and international logistics capabilities will be comprehensively improved, forming a pattern of big commerce, big market, big throughput and big logistics." Looking ahead, Ma Biao, deputy secretary of Houma Municipal Committee and mayor, is full of hope.

Relying on logistics to promote "docking"

The development of Houma indicates that this logistics center will become a regional trade logistics port in the inland of central and western China in the near future. At present, the proportion of Houma's primary, secondary and tertiary production has reached 4∶53∶43, and the economic structure tends to be reasonable.

"Facing a new wave of development, houma city still has a lot to do. It is necessary to formulate short-term and long-term plans for the construction and development of Houma Modern Logistics Park as soon as possible, integrate and standardize existing logistics resources, improve modern logistics supporting facilities, support the development of logistics enterprises and related industries, study and explore modern logistics settlement methods, vigorously cultivate logistics professionals, and improve the investment environment to create favorable conditions for the future development of modern logistics. " Wang Xingan, secretary of Houma Municipal Party Committee, is outspoken.

It is understood that six projects imported from houma city have been completed and put into operation, 16 project is under construction, and 15 project has been prepared in advance, basically forming a rolling development situation of interlocking, step-by-step follow-up and tight implementation.

In terms of project introduction, houma city pays attention to the formation of leading industries and the extension of industrial chain, and attracts key projects with high industrial relevance and strong pulling ability, and pays attention to large projects, pollution-free projects and high-tech projects. In the operation of projects, we should adhere to the principles of classified guidance, differential treatment and preferential investment, rationally adjust the industrial access threshold, ensure the priority development of industries with advantageous characteristics, and resolutely not allow projects that pollute the environment. Give priority to the development of projects with good benefits, less pollution and strong employment promotion ability.

The introduction of the project has brought strong impetus to Houma's catering, hotel, finance, insurance, information and other service industries. In the past two years, Houma has solved the problem of labor force 1.2 million, making the proportion of modern service industry in the city's GDP reach 16.25%.

The development of logistics industry not only benefits Houma people, but also changes Houma from sporadic dispersion to centralized agglomeration, from relying on the secondary industry to the coordination of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, from relying on resource consumption to relying on scientific and technological progress, improving the quality of workers and management innovation, from primary processing to deep processing, from deep processing to fine processing, and from fine processing to advanced manufacturing.
