In recent days, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other major foreign trade provinces have increased their efforts to organize foreign trade enterprises to "organize groups to go to sea" information has flooded the circle of friends. In fact, for going to sea to "grab orders", Dongguan has long been in action.
At the beginning of November this year, the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Commerce set up a special class for stabilizing foreign trade, and organized four waves of enterprise groups to participate in exhibitions in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam. After the exhibition, the reporter of Dongguan Daily interviewed these exhibitors in time, and they all said: full of harvest!
Although low-key, Dongguan is serious about "grabbing orders" - the reporter learned from the Municipal Bureau of Commerce that Dongguan will form the first government delegation to go abroad since the outbreak of the epidemic, leading 92 representatives of Dongguan foreign trade enterprises to participate in the 13th China (UAE) Trade Expo. This will be the largest city-level overseas exhibition group in Guangdong Province in recent years.
Set up a special class to stabilize foreign trade, charter flights to four countries to grab orders
On October 30, flight CZ5255 carrying 15 Dongguan foreign traders took off smoothly at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia after a flight of more than 4 hours. These foreign trade personnel participated in the 2022 Guangdong (Malaysia) Commodity Exhibition and started a 7-day RCEP "market expansion" tour. I haven't gone abroad to participate in the exhibition for more than two years, and the old customers haven't seen each other for many years, before departure, Zhou Yu, general manager of Dongguan Nengzhe Rubber Products Co., Ltd., bluntly said that he was "very excited."
As a world-famous foreign trade market, low-key Dongguan has been silently helping enterprises seize orders and open up markets.
Up to now, the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Commerce has mobilized 10 enterprises and 15 foreign trade representatives to charter flights to participate in the 4th Guangdong (Malaysia) Commodity Exhibition, 8 enterprises and 18 foreign trade representatives to participate in the Asia-Pacific Beauty Exhibition Singapore Special Exhibition, 9 enterprises with 13 foreign trade representatives Indonesia International Consumer Electronics and Household Appliances Expo, and 18 enterprises and 26 foreign trade representatives to participate in the Vietnam International Consumer Electronics and Household Appliances Expo.
Among them, the first batch of charter flights to set sail selected Malaysia, and 15 Dongguan foreign trade personnel went to participate in the 2022 Guangdong (Malaysia) Commodity Exhibition. Most of the exhibitors are from intelligent manufacturing, clothing and other fields, which is not only Dongguan's advantageous industry, but also the area with the greatest market demand in RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership).
Recently, the 2022 Indonesia International Consumer Electronics and Home Appliances Expo was held in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Commerce organized a delegation of 9 Dongguan enterprises to participate in the exhibition. The exhibition samples were sold out and the enthusiasm of customers was the common feedback of many exhibitors in Dongguan.
Zhang Wulin, general manager of Dongguan Qicai Digital Technology Co., Ltd., came to the booth early every day, and she not only met the "old friends" who had been agreed in advance at the exhibition, but also welcomed many "new friends". At this exhibition, the company mainly displayed digital printing products, which were determined by the company after full research on the RCEP market such as Indonesia. "For enterprises, participating in large-scale exhibitions can not only obtain orders and improve brand awareness, but more importantly, it can help enterprises keep abreast of product trends and formulate service plans that enterprises need to cooperate with the market." Zhang Wulin said.
"Customers from Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan and other places have expressed their purchasing intentions, especially smart home electronic products that meet a variety of application environments and are cleverly designed. Customers have a strong desire to buy, and the demand for products exceeds expectations, and they will communicate with many customers in depth. According to the company, RCEP countries are similar to Chinese culture and customs, and at the same time, the local smart home product selection is relatively small, the price is high, and the technical support is not timely enough, which provides excellent market opportunities for high-quality Dongguan products.
"We placed 8 orders within a few days, with an intended transaction amount of nearly one million US dollars, and we are more confident in expanding the RCEP market!" Tan Shifen, general manager of Guangdong IELTS Electronics Co., Ltd., has gained a lot. During the exhibition, the company's main home beauty device, many intelligent operations are not available in local products, once exhibited it was very popular, not only that, the company also reached a long-term cooperation intention with a number of merchants in the hotel, medical and beauty industries in Singapore.
Many exhibitors regarded these charter flights as an important step in "expanding the territory". After the exhibition closed, Chen Haiming, general manager of Dongguan Baihui Plastic Products Co., Ltd., was still full of schedules, and after arranging the dismantling work, he hurriedly rushed to a local light industry enterprise to discuss cooperation. "This company has a number of stores in Singapore and is very interested in our Eco-Material Products (PCR), and I want to negotiate this long-term agency contract!" He was looking forward to it. During the exhibition, some merchants also plan to visit the Baihui factory directly after the epidemic stabilizes to discuss cooperation.
Guangdong's largest city-level overseas exhibition group is about to depart
Recently, with the gradual optimization of domestic epidemic prevention and control policies, signals encouraging enterprises to attract investment abroad and carry out economic and trade negotiations have been continuously released, and all parts of the country are trying to help enterprises go overseas to grab orders. Dongguan is also going all out to mobilize more enterprises to go overseas through the model of "overseas exhibition + business charter + epidemic prevention service".
At present, the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Commerce is making full preparations to organize enterprises to participate in the 13th China (UAE) Trade Expo to be held in Dubai World Trade Center in the United Arab Emirates from December 19 to 21. As of December 8, 92 foreign trade representatives from 51 enterprises have been mobilized to register for offline exhibitions, and 24 enterprises have participated in the exhibition on behalf of the exhibition.
As the largest entrepot trade port in the Middle East, the UAE is the most economically developed region in the Middle East, the financial and economic center of the entire Middle East, and its largest business is to undertake entrepots to multiple regions, and is the most important transportation hub and largest trade center in the Middle East. The central location of the UAE directly affects the terminal markets of the six Gulf countries, seven West Asian countries, Africa and southern European countries, and plays a key role in helping foreign trade enterprises in our city open the Middle East market. Under the downward trend of the economy, the actual import and export volume between the city and the UAE from January to October 2022 reached 10.83 billion yuan, an increase of 10.2% over the same period last year, and the market prospect is good.
