"Leather with an annual output of less than 30000 pieces manufacturing enterprise It is estimated that about 1000 companies will be eliminated. ”On June 2, Su Chaoying, secretary-general of China Leather Association, disclosed at the press conference of China International Leather Expo 2010 that the country is in the stage of soliciting opinions on the 12th Five Year Plan of the leather industry, which is expected to be released next year, and energy conservation and emission reduction will be a major focus.

According to Su Chaoying, the plan has not been finalized yet, but "the emission of COD and ammonia nitrogen compounds is 10% lower than that at the end of the 11th Five Year Plan" is basically determined. "The task is very difficult, but we will try our best to complete it," Su Chaoying said.

Since this year, with the macroeconomic stabilization, China's leather Fur And the operation of products always reflects the development trend of recovery and improvement. According to customs statistics, from January to March 2010, China's export of finished products and semi-finished products reached 8000 tons, up 99.3% and 87.5% year on year, reaching 70.46 million US dollars; The import volume was 202000 tons, US $765 million, up 32.1% and 38.5% year on year respectively.

Su Chaoying believes that the leather industry is operating well in the first quarter of this year, but there are also many uncertainties, including the rise in the price of raw materials and the appreciation of the RMB, which may cause fluctuations in the leather market that has not yet fully recovered.

"First of all, the increase in the first quarter was largely based on the low level of last year, so we should treat it objectively; second, because there are many natural disasters this year, foreign countries have been alerted to the export of raw hides, and the long-term rainy weather in the south will affect the export; Third, the task of restructuring the leather industry this year is very heavy, and has been implemented by all provinces; Finally, the consumption potential of the domestic market, especially the second and third tier cities and rural markets, is unknown. ”Su Chaoying told reporters.

In fact, accounting for Leather industry The large shoe industry has felt the changes in the market. Many Dongguan shoemaking enterprises have told reporters that orders and prices in May have increased by 10% - 20%, "but most of them are short orders. We are not sure about the future economic trend, especially the exchange rate, so we dare not take long orders." A person in charge of Dongguan shoemaking enterprises told reporters.

Su Chaoying pointed out to reporters that the devaluation of the euro and the EU's extension of anti-dumping duties on Chinese made leather shoes some time ago have forced Chinese shoe companies to turn to the United States or other emerging markets.

"Now we don't dare to take orders from Europe. The more we take orders, the more we die," said the person in charge of the Dongguan shoe company. According to statistics, in the first quarter of this year, China's leather shoes enterprises above designated size exported 220 million pairs of leather shoes, totaling 2.04 billion US dollars, up 4.6% and 9.1% year on year respectively; 3.5 million pairs of imports, 123 million US dollars, down 8.6% and up 3.1% year on year respectively.

The reporter roughly calculated that China's export leather shoes averaged $9.3 per pair, while the average import leather shoes averaged $35.1, more than three times that of China.

In this regard, Su Chaoying admitted that achieving industrial upgrading and improving the added value of products will be an important goal of China's leather industry during the 12th Five Year Plan period. "Therefore, we set the average annual growth target at 5%, compared with 10% during the 11th Five Year Plan period. We hope to build 3-5 international famous brands on the basis of the original domestic brands," said Su Chaoying.
