Chinese enterprises have a lot of room for development in Africa. The research report shows that the market of the African continent with a population of 700 million is not only vast, but also full of opportunities. Almost all African countries have less demand for light industry, home appliances, electronics, and hardware processing products. It is very large, and this is precisely the huge market that many Chinese businessmen ignore.
When some countries use trade barriers and non-tariff trade barriers to block Chinese products, Chinese enterprises going to Africa to develop is not only a way out of "the east is not bright, the west is bright", but also a way out of "get out of the way and occupy the hatchback". The practice is to surround the "cities of the world" with the "rural areas of the world" economically. According to the researchers of the National Development and Reform Commission, Africa has 53 countries with an annual trade volume of 250 billion US dollars, but the local industry is generally backward, and most of the commodities rely on imports. Business opportunities in Africa come from the highly complementary economies of China and Africa, that is, highly complementary in resources, industry, trade, and markets.
In fact, my country's agriculture and aquaculture are also important channels for developing economic and trade cooperation with Africa. A farmer from Shandong went to work as a chef in a Chinese company in Kenya, and found that the local land lease price was cheap, the light and heat conditions were suitable, and the vegetable market was huge. So he started to grow vegetables in Kenya. After several experiments, he made a fortune growing vegetables, and also promoted the development of Kenya's vegetable planting industry, which was welcomed and affirmed by the Kenyan government. Therefore, not only light industries, such as textiles and garments and electronics, but also traditional industries such as agriculture and fishery, have great potential to enter Africa.
The macroeconomic situation of African countries is generally poor, the domestic economic structure is single, and the balance of payments is particularly bad. Therefore, many of the world's least developed countries are concentrated in Africa, and they are also beneficiaries of global poverty alleviation and debt relief. However, as long as their rich natural resources and human resources can be developed, many African countries will improve their ability to pay. Even if they temporarily have no hard currency to pay for, companies can buy part of their profits to buy many resources in Africa and ship them back to China. of profit.
In view of the fact that my country has given special preferential tariff treatment to some African countries, some enterprises in Guangdong have begun to mine the "gold mine" of preferential commodities in Africa. According to the statistics of Gongbei Customs, in the first quarter of 2006, the value of imported African preferential goods in Guangdong Customs District was 3.77 million US dollars, which was 3.4 times that of last year. It is also a development direction for enterprises to purchase African resources for local primary processing and then transport them back to the domestic supply market.
Therefore, hardware processing products such as speaker nets, punching nets, speaker iron nets and other products will usher in another spring in Africa.
