Textile Industry: Can Domestic Sales Get Rid Of Export Predicament?

The day before yesterday was the closing day of the international gift and home products international procurement fair.

There are not many international buyers who come to buy gifts and household products in the exhibition hall from the first floor to the four floor of the world trade mall, but there are many domestic agents, wholesalers, retailers and ordinary citizens.

Some gift exporters tell us that the current export business is difficult and the choice of the domestic market may help enterprises get out of trouble.

It is imperative to fight for domestic trade. Shanghai Zhi Ji international trading company is a private enterprise. In the past, home textile products including bedspreads, bedsheets, pillows and pillow towels were sold abroad one hundred percent.

The exhibition has four standard booths.

A woman who attended the exhibition admitted that their company had never touched the domestic market, and that export business is hard to do now. It is also a must.

Beijing Chai Mei Trading Company is a company that produces and sells stainless steel tableware. The stainless steel tableware with various colored ribbons and painted ceramic handles is very beautiful.

Exhibitors told reporters that the tableware of their company could match the similar tableware produced in Korea in the domestic market, and the 90% products produced in the past were sold domestically and exported by 10%.

Since the second half of last year, exports have become increasingly difficult and profit margins are getting smaller and smaller.

Enterprises always pursue profits. Since they can't earn enough money and spend so much effort, the company decides to basically not export and put all their energy into the domestic market.

It is not easy to adapt to the strange environment. For a long time engaged in export trade, it is not easy to enter the domestic market suddenly.

Some exhibitors believe that interlacing is like mountain crossing. It is hard to watch people pick up their shoulders and make a good turn.

The Anhui Hongrun group is a large enterprise mainly based on export feather quilts and other home textile products. According to Yao Handong, the group's export salesperson, in the past, group exports accounted for more than 9 of the total sales volume. This year, the group dropped, the target was 85%, and the rest sold in the domestic market.

But accustomed to foreign trade, the domestic market is really black and white, and the rules and hidden rules are not clear, so that they are everywhere.

He sighed bitterness, saying that the biggest problem in the domestic market is irregularities, such as counterfeiting our brand, shoddy, arrears and triangle debts.

The staff members of the company are also confused by certain practices in the domestic market.

She said, our main purpose of this exhibition is to find agents everywhere. Although there are more than ten contacts, it is difficult to understand the real situation of these agents because the domestic credit system has not kept pace with them.

If the goods are casually delivered to these agents, it is very likely that the goods will be sold out and the money will not be returned.

It is difficult to get out of the predicament since the second half of last year. Due to the continuous appreciation of RMB, the rise of energy raw materials, the rising cost of labor, the continuous decline of export tax rebate rate, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the sluggish demand in the international market, many domestic enterprises, especially labor-intensive production enterprises, have difficulty in exporting.

Faced with difficulties, enterprises have made moves, including attacking the domestic market.

Some exhibitors believe that export to domestic sales is one of the ways to overcome difficulties, but only by sober understanding of themselves and understanding the external world can we gradually get out of the predicament.

Shanghai Shengda Textile Co., Ltd. is an enterprise that produces and exports woollen blankets and cotton garments.

Faced with all kinds of difficulties, the company still insists that exports will not relax, so far exports still account for one hundred percent of the total output.

Miss Yu, the exhibitor of the company, is quite frank. She believes that their company is more familiar with their abilities and international markets, and has the means to deal with difficulties.

Therefore, when most enterprises are unable to support, their export volume and profit margin have not declined, and they are confident of their future.

Thus, export to domestic sales is not a panacea for curing all diseases. The key is to know ourselves and know everything, and proceed from reality rather than blindly follow suit.
