Jinjiang: New Policy Boosts Shoe Leather Industry Upgrading

In order to further expand industrial clusters, intensify the implementation of brand development strategy and promote technological innovation, Jinjiang has introduced a number of encouraging and supportive policies on the basis of the policy of encouraging and supporting economic development introduced last year to promote industrial innovation and upgrading.

On the basis of the original supporting policies, the new policy has added corresponding supporting provisions. For example, the enterprises that are identified as the Quanzhou enterprise technology center will be rewarded at 5% of the total investment of their projects, with a maximum of not more than 100 thousand yuan.

In order to encourage enterprises to adjust and optimize their product mix and encourage the development of new products and technologies, such as new technologies reach international level and domestic initiative, each reward is 100 thousand yuan. At the same time, enterprises awarded "contracts and trustworthiness" identified by the provincial industry and Commerce Bureau and enterprises with Fujian brand names are rewarded.

The new policy has also increased the tilt of the tax payers. In the last year, the productive enterprises whose taxes exceed 5 million yuan will be directly included in the core enterprises to enjoy preferential policies.

These supporting and rewarding measures will play a good guiding role in promoting the optimization and upgrading of the ceramic industry, making the dominant enterprises bigger and stronger, and promoting the development and utilization of new products and technologies.
