According to the statistics of Jinjiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the 4942 batch of export footwear products and 145 million yuan worth of goods exported to Jinjiang in April were 57.19% and 73.82% respectively, up 2.51% and 0.90% respectively from the same period last year, and the volume of exports was basically the same as that of the same period last year.

Among them, the 1657 batch of exports to the European Union, valued at $45 million, increased by 0.42% and 4.56% compared to the same period last year. The 571 batch of exports to the United States was worth 25 million US dollars, up 23.86% and 16.61% respectively over the same period. This shows that the recovery of purchasing power of developed countries such as Europe and the United States has become the main support for export market this month.

Relevant staff of the Jinjiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau believe that although footwear exports have been on the right track, the industry is still facing problems such as shortage of workers, rising prices of raw materials and enhanced appreciation of the renminbi.

To this end, it is suggested that, on the basis of improving workers' protection, enterprises need to observe and understand the expected rise of the RMB exchange rate, reserve space in product quotas to offset losses caused by the appreciation of the renminbi, or set a fixed exchange rate with the clients when signing orders, or directly use RMB settlement to reduce the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. At the same time, we should pay close attention to the market price of raw materials, and reserve the necessary reserves when the prices of raw and auxiliary materials go down, and actively pay attention to the technical regulations and new policies of the major trading countries, consciously abide by the relevant standards, strictly control the quality, and adjust the business strategy flexibly.
