The First Negative Growth Of Keqiao'S Foreign Trade Exports Is Narrower.

Reporters recently learned from the Keqiao District Commerce Bureau that the total export trade of Keqiao in 2015 amounted to 10 billion 416 million US dollars, down 5.38% from the same period last year, but the total export volume still ranked first in the city.

"Affected by the international macro-economic impact, the export of traditional textile products in China has faced unprecedented challenges. Slowing down shifting has become a new problem for many enterprises."

Insiders say.

The textile industry has always been a pillar industry in the economic development of Keqiao District, and has maintained a strong competitive advantage in the international market.

Data show that last year, Keqiao textile and clothing exports amounted to $9 billion 511 million, down 7.27% over the same period last year.

According to industry analysis, last year, the impact of the sharp drop in international crude oil prices, the purchasing power of the Middle East countries declined, resulting in the Keqiao region's annual export growth for the first time.

In the face of the weak demand in the Middle East and other traditional markets, Keqiao export enterprises have actively explored new markets and have gone out of a "new world".

Export enterprises seize the opportunity of rapid growth of the textile and garment industry in ASEAN, Vietnam, Thailand and Kampuchea, and make the "cake" of ASEAN market bigger and bigger.

Data show that: last year, the export of Keqiao enterprises to ASEAN countries exceeded 1 billion 723 million US dollars, an increase of 3.75%, accounting for 16.55% of the total export share of the region, and the proportion increased by 1.46 percentage points. The export competitiveness of Keqiao enterprises on the scale has become increasingly prominent in the international arena.

"ASEAN market has become a bigger share of Keqiao's export share."

The analysis of relevant persons in charge of the District Commerce Bureau indicates that the growth of Keqiao's textile export ASEAN market indicates that the potential of the "one belt and one way" export market is being released.

It is understood that last year, the District Commerce Bureau organized 47 enterprises to participate in various overseas investment promotion activities 16 times, take the initiative

It accelerated the strategic layout of "one belt and one road".

It is understood that although the whole region

The export volume has declined slightly, but the Keqiao export enterprises on the scale have become increasingly competitive in the international arena, and the pace of opening up the market is also accelerating. Over half of the top 30 export enterprises in the region have achieved positive growth.

For example, Kaiming textile company, the top three strong companies, exported a breakthrough of $100 million last year, an increase of 33% over the previous year, a record high.

The reason for the high growth of high base is that the company starts with the development of new products, improves the grade of products, and realizes the adjustment of market structure.

Since last year, the company's export focus has shifted to the European and American markets.

"In 2015, our company exported to the US market incrementally and became the focus of the company's export growth."

Luo Haiming, general manager of Kaiming textile company, said.
