Development Of Haiyang'S Knitting Crisis

As one of the earliest and largest sweater industry clusters in northern China, the growth process of Haiyang sweater industry is also a microcosm of China's textile industry development. It has important reference significance for guiding the work of major industrial clusters.

Knitted sweater processing industry is one of the pillar industries of Haiyang's economy. It has been playing an important role in pferring surplus labor in rural areas and promoting urban and rural economic development.

After more than 40 years of development, the city has more than 400 processing enterprises, a large number of processing enterprises and more than 4000 supporting small businesses, employing more than 120 thousand people.

In 2007, 250 million knitted sweaters were processed, and the output value was about 7000000000 yuan.

In 2008, the US financial crisis seriously affected the export of textiles, and the development of the industry was even worse.

Although the country has recently raised the export tax rebate rate for the two time, if there is no processing order, the tax rebate can only become empty talk.

The downturn in the industry has made Haiyang's knitted sweater industry vulnerable. Many enterprises feel the chill of "winter".

For many years, Haiyang has continued to enlarge its foreign trade orders, OEM processing single production mode, low value-added products and lack of independent brands.

In view of the importance of Haiyang's economy and society and its position in the development of the textile industry, the dilemma faced by the Haiyang sweater industry has attracted the attention of the Haiyang municipal government and the national industry association. The industry experts have made many suggestions, and the Haiyang municipal government has taken various measures to actively support the sweater industry to tide over the difficulties.

Yang Shibin, director of the China knitwear industry association, when he went to Haiyang to investigate the industrial development situation, suggested that under the condition of limited funds and channels, it is very difficult for Haiyang wool weaving enterprises to create their own brands directly. They can make OEM processing for famous brands first, learn to accumulate Technology and management experience, and at the same time, increase the contribution rate of science and technology and increase the added value of export products.

In addition, Haiyang can play a concentrated role in the industrial cluster base, undertake the equipment, technology and talents pferred from the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta region, and improve the chain of Haiyang's wool weaving industry.

Mao Shancheng, Secretary General of the Haiyang knitting sweater industry association and general manager of Xu Pengcheng, said in an interview with the media that Haiyang is located in the Jiaodong Peninsula, a huge production base for foreign trade, and that the development of Haiyang's sweater industry must be strengthened. On the one hand, we should give full play to the advantages of the original foreign trade, use equipment and technology to update, actively study new materials and new technologies, extend the chain of Machinable products, increase the added value of products, on the other hand, identify their products and market positioning, take differentiated competition, create their own brands, and expand the domestic market.

Opinions on industrial development and Implementation Opinions on supporting the development of international knitted sweater City, as well as a series of refinement measures, do a good job in industrial development planning, and increase industrial support: grant corresponding financial reward to enterprises that obtain Chinese or provincial famous brand products or well-known trademarks, encourage enterprises to implement brand strategy; grant 500 thousand yuan, 200 thousand yuan and 100 thousand yuan reward to enterprises' technology centers at national level, provincial level and Yantai city level, and grant 3% capital subsidy to enterprises that purchase Japanese island fine brand and German stor brand high-end computerized flat knitting machine, encourage enterprises to carry out technological innovation; organize annual Haiyang Mao fair, use exhibition platform to integrate upstream and downstream industrial chains, create opportunities for development for enterprises and so on. Haiyang municipal Party committee and municipal government put strategic importance in promoting the breakthrough and scientific development of the knitted sweater industry.

According to the industrial development plan of the Haiyang municipal government, the annual sales revenue of the knitted sweater industry will exceed 10 billion yuan by 2010, and the annual profit tax will exceed 1 billion yuan.
