Export Of Daying Fur Industry Cluster Earned 50 Million US Dollars

Daying fur processing industry has a history of more than 3000 years. It is one of the birthplaces of fur and known as the "fur capital of the world". Bigan in the Shang Dynasty was honored as the ancestor of Qiu and worshipped for generations. During Zheng He's voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty, his fur business entered the upper class of Europe because of its "soft skin, comfortable hair and fashionable color". Since the reform and opening up, Daying fur market has been named by the Hebei Provincial Government as the "Top Ten Specialized Markets for Agricultural Industrialization", and the fur industry has been identified as the provincial spark pillar industry. 1、 Development Status of Daying Fur Industry Cluster Daying Town is located at the junction of "two provinces (Hebei and Shandong) and three districts (Xingtai, Dezhou and Hengshui)", 50km away from Hengshui, with a superior geographical position. In recent years, the situation that every village is dry and every household is engaged in processing and everyone knows how to operate is further forming. In 2004, the sales revenue of the fur industry reached 6 billion yuan, and the taxes paid exceeded 100 million yuan, double the previous year and 10 times that of 2000. At present, Daying Town has 9170 fur enterprises and stalls, 63 large-scale enterprises with an annual output value of more than 1 million yuan, 12 enterprises with an annual output value of more than 10 million yuan, 2160 fixed stores, more than 7000 mobile and fixed stalls, four centralized trading days in ten days, and an average of more than 6000 listed stalls. The processing output value of the town's fur industry accounts for 83% of the total industrial and agricultural output value, and 90% of farmers' household income comes from the fur industry. There are nearly 2000 kinds of furs in seven series, including raw furs, cooked furs, semi-finished products, fur garments, fur accessories, velvet cutting, and handicrafts. The products are sold well in more than 20 countries and regions, including Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea. The annual trade volume of the big market can reach 1.52 billion yuan, accounting for 65% of the national market share, 50% of which are exported to the international market and earn more than 50 million dollars in foreign exchange. The rapid development of fur industry cluster has played an important role in the socio-economic development of Daying Town. First, it has driven economic development. In 2004, the output value of the town's fur industry was 4 billion yuan, and the taxes paid were more than 80 million yuan, accounting for half of the county's industrial and commercial taxes. The per capita net income reached 4130 yuan, up 79%, 43%, and 12% respectively from the previous year. In 2005, the output value reached 7 billion yuan, and the annual export sales reached 700 million dollars. Second, it promoted market construction. With the continuous development of the industry and the continuous expansion of the scale, many business operators are eager to have a good business place. To this end, adhering to the principle of "who invests, who manages, who benefits", and adhering to the principles of diversified market investment, large-scale market scale, and advanced market level, we have successively built Fur Middle City, Fur South City, fully closed Fur Trading Plaza, Jiulong Market, and Jubao Exhibition Hall. The market covers a total area of 70000 square meters, with a business area of more than 50000 square meters, and 296 stores are arranged, There are nearly 2000 stalls in the cargo hall, making the phenomenon of "open trade, stalls along the road, dirty, messy and poor" in Daying fur market a history. Third, it has promoted the construction of small towns. The development of fur industry has laid a strong foundation for the construction of small towns. The development of fur industry has promoted the improvement of the hard environment. We have completed the widening and hardening of four roads and three streets, completed the underground drainage and greening works of three main streets, established a water supply company, built a post and telecommunications building, a cable telephone tower, a Daying Theater, a cable TV station, and a bigan hotel, repaired the bigan temple, and built a bigan park, Hardened the railway station square, and greatly improved the hard environment of the camp. Fourth, it promoted the development of transportation industry and tertiary industry. In order to provide fur operators with good service conditions, 34 hotels, 52 food service stalls, more than 20 mobile department store service vehicles, 4 transportation stations have been built successively, and now there are more than 130 large, medium and small passenger and freight cars. Fifth, it has absorbed rural surplus labor force. The development of the industry and the increase of the number of enterprises provide employment opportunities for rural surplus labor. At present, there are more than 30000 people engaged in fur processing industry in Daying Town, so that each labor force has jobs and income. It is estimated that 15000 people will be employed after the completion of the fur industrial park. Sixth, it has increased farmers' income. The transfer of rural surplus labor force and the increase of employment have led to the growth of farmers' income. In 2004, the per capita net income of farmers reached 4130 yuan, an increase of 2130 yuan over 2000, and the per capita savings deposits exceeded 10000 yuan. At present, Daying has more than 8500 cars of all kinds, including more than 2000 cars, 45000 motorcycles, with an average of more than 2 per household, 30000 mobile phone users, and one for every 2 people. Daying people have created a prosperous, healthy and happy life relying on the fur industry. 2、 The main problems of the fur industry cluster in Daying Town Although the fur industry cluster in Daying Town has begun to take shape, there is still a big gap from the real industry cluster. There are still some problems in the components, internal structure, operating mechanism and functions of the cluster. 1. The advantages of industrial clusters are not obvious. Daying is a traditional fur market in Hebei. There are many enterprises in the cluster, but it lacks scale and quality efficiency enterprises. Compared with Suning, the "fur capital of China" in the north, Daying has no obvious industrial advantages. 2. There is no complete industrial chain in the industrial cluster. At present, the industrial cluster is just a simple concentration of many enterprises producing the same products. The products are similar, and there is no specialized division of labor. A large number of "small and all inclusive" enterprises in the same cluster hinder the extension of the industrial chain and endanger the self-development and competitiveness of the cluster. 3. Enterprises lack the ability of technological innovation. Due to the lack of high-quality talents, imperfect industrial supporting facilities, insufficient supply of public goods and other reasons, the industrial cluster has not yet formed the innovation mechanism that it should have, and enterprises lack talents, capital and institutional environment foundation for independent innovation. Most enterprises do not have core technology, and most of them stay in low-level round trip production, with poor risk resistance. Not only is the ability of independent research and development weak, but also the labor skills as the basis of technological innovation are generally low. Most of the enterprises in this industrial cluster are small in scale, mainly family workshops, with limited strength. In addition, their technical conditions are weak, and they are processed manually in the traditional way. As a result, enterprises generally lack technological innovation and development capabilities. Their business operations are relatively simple, their products have low technological content, low added value, and insufficient profits, further restricting their technological improvement capabilities. Moreover, enterprises are not closely connected with schools and scientific research institutions, and their ability to acquire and absorb new technologies is weak. They can not get strong technical support, but only maintain simple production operations. 4. The competition among enterprises is excessive, lacking mutual cooperation and alliance. The similarity of product structure and the lack of division of labor among enterprises make the battle for enterprise survival evolve into cruel and vicious competition. Instead of organizing effective enterprise alliances to complement resources and advantages, entrepreneurs are used to doing all activities such as production and operation alone and carrying out "one-on-one" life and death struggle with other enterprises. Restricted by traditional ideas and regional culture, enterprises only know competition but not union. What's more, they lack social credit. The trust in partners is not enough, and the credit is limited only to blood or kinship, so that the social credit radius is small, the scope of cooperation is limited, and enterprise alliances cannot be established. It is difficult for enterprises in clusters to move towards a broader world. 5. Brand building lags behind. There are seven series of more than 2000 varieties in Daying Town, most of which do not have their own brands. They use fabrics and equipment provided by others, produce according to others' intentions, and finally hand over the products to others. OEM (OEM) is just "marrying others", not the long-term development direction of the enterprise. 6. The socialized service system is not perfect. The development of the industrial cluster is dominated by workshops, the intermediary service organization is not perfect, and the social service network is not perfect, which hinders the development of the industrial cluster. 3、 Countermeasures for the development of fur cluster in Daying Town It is suggested to accelerate the development of fur cluster economy in Daying Town, and effective measures should be taken from all aspects. One of the most important aspects is to integrate and allocate local advantageous resources, promote enterprise clusters, and form competitive characteristic industrial clusters. 1. The local government correctly positions its responsibilities and authorities. Earnestly implement the policy of cultivating and strengthening characteristic industrial clusters in the proposal of the CPC Hebei Provincial Party Committee on formulating the "Eleventh Five Year Plan", and create a good market environment and market players for the development of cluster economy. The development of enterprises should be self-discipline, and the local government should also put right and strengthen the concept of serving enterprises, start from the overall development situation, optimize the development environment of enterprises, encourage enterprises to operate normally, rather than arbitrarily defaulting on tax rebates. As a regulatory authority, the government should not wait for the enterprises to make mistakes before going into management and inspection. It should guide and supervise the enterprises not to make mistakes, violate laws and regulations. 2. Cultivate the innovation ability of enterprises in industrial clusters. The enterprises in the industrial cluster should strive to improve their technological capabilities in the operation and development, which is the basic factor to improve the technological level and competitiveness of the entire industrial cluster. First, enterprises should pay attention to human capital investment, train employees and improve their personal skills; Cultivate entrepreneur groups, improve their personal quality and management ability, and strive to improve the innovation ability of the whole enterprise, actively develop new technologies and products, promote the development of enterprise R&D activities, and improve the added value of products. The second is to strengthen the exchange and cooperation between enterprises in the industrial cluster and institutions such as schools and scientific research institutes, improve the transformation mechanism of technological achievements, actively explore market demand, adapt to market changes, constantly apply new technologies, develop new products, effectively improve the innovation ability of enterprises, and promote the optimization and upgrading of the entire industrial cluster. 3. Establish intermediary service agencies and improve the social service system. To establish and improve the social service system and provide support for the development of industrial clusters, we must rely on industrial clusters, adhere to the principles of socialization, specialization and marketization, strive to promote the construction of intermediary organizations, improve the social service system, so that enterprises in industrial clusters can develop in a relatively perfect market environment, make comprehensive use of various resources, and effectively reduce transaction costs, Improve the efficiency of commodity production and trading. First, gradually improve the network of enterprise planning, technical services, property rights transactions, consulting services and information services in the industrial cluster, promote the establishment of product testing centers in the industrial cluster, enhance the self inspection ability of the industrial cluster, implement standardized management on the product quality of enterprises, and steadily improve the overall product quality of the cluster. Establish an industrial information center, focus on improving the level of informatization, use informatization to drive industrialization, expand domestic and international business exchanges, carry out e-commerce, and solve problems such as information blockage and backward marketing methods. Second, accelerate the construction of credit guarantee institutions. The development of industrial clusters needs adequate financial support, and the difficulty in financing is an urgent problem to be solved at present. International and domestic experience has proved that vigorously developing credit guarantee institutions that mainly serve SMEs is an effective way to solve financing problems. Actively establish cooperative financial organizations with various forms of ownership, formulate access conditions and regulatory measures, and adopt a combination of "dredging" and "guidance" to create conditions for the establishment of private financial institutions and organizations. At the same time, we can also explore the establishment of micro credit organizations initiated by natural persons or enterprises to solve the problem of "difficult loans" for SMEs. Third, actively promote the construction of industry associations. The Daying Fur Industry Association did not play its due role, and the enterprise relationship was mainly coordinated by the government, which not only caused excessive dependence on the government, but also formed and cultivated the government's bureaucracy, reducing the administrative efficiency. Learn from the successful experience of Wenzhou garment industry associations, actively play the industrial self-discipline and organizational management functions of industry associations, enhance the "collective action" ability of industrial clusters in market competition, establish the overall image of the entire cluster, and improve the competitiveness of the cluster. At the same time, it will promote the transformation of government functions, strengthen the coordination role of industry associations, assist enterprises in opening up the communication channels between domestic clusters, and provide conditions for clusters to strengthen openness and cooperation, and reduce obstacles and unstable factors in the innovation process.
