Promoting the transfer of industries, the state adds another hand!

Last month, the Ministry of Commerce released the "deepening the reform and innovation of state-level economic development zones to a high level of openness to lead high-quality development work program".

The program's fifth article, clearly mentioned: orderly promotion of industrial acceptance of cooperation and gradient transfer.

This releases a key signal:

Will rely on the national open area, guide the southeast coast of these economically developed places, the transfer of industry to the central and western regions, especially the processing trade industry.

In terms of the Midwest, how to attract investment with the flow of this wave of industrial transfer?

01 Processing trade industry transfer

Processing trade, in simple terms, is that enterprises import raw materials or parts from abroad, processing and then exporting finished products. The industry covers a wide range of areas, including:

Traditional labor-intensive industries: textiles and garments, toys and stationery, household and light industrial products.

Electromechanical and electronic information industries: consumer electronics such as smart terminals, computers and accessories, semiconductors and electronic components such as chip packaging and testing, circuit boards, connectors and sensors, and home appliance manufacturing such as air-conditioners, refrigerators and small home appliances.

Mechanical equipment and transportation equipment: construction machinery and components, automobiles and parts, aviation parts maintenance and manufacturing.

Emerging high value-added industries: the new three green industries (lithium batteries, photovoltaic, new energy and automotive components), medical devices and biotechnology, bonded repair or remanufacturing.

Resource deep processing industry: rare metal processing, deep processing of agricultural and sideline products.

In the first half of this year, the international foreign trade turmoil, a number of countries to us to set trade barriers.

In order to cope with the challenge, we have to use the advantages of the inland areas, so that the industry in the domestic flow up, the establishment of a "national unified market".

Why let the national open area to play a major role? From a set of data can see the answer.

In 2024, China's 232 national economic development zones, a total of 10.7 trillion yuan of foreign trade, accounting for 24.5% of the country's total foreign trade. The actual utilization of foreign capital was 27.2 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 23.4 percent of the country.

As the "front-runner" in industrial aggregation, opening-up and institutional innovation, the national economic development zones have obvious advantages.

First of all, different zones have their own specialties, rich policy subsidies and high efficiency;

Secondly, it is easier for enterprises to find upstream and downstream supporting enterprises, and it is also easy to recruit professionals and obtain production services; and the zones also have a greater advantage in energy conservation and emission reduction.

More importantly, the zone can link up with more than 30 pilot free trade zones and more than 60 comprehensive bonded zones across the country.

The superposition of the advantages of multiple platforms creates more convenience for the flow of factors, protection of rights and interests, and market order.

Focusing on the level of industrial transfer, the eastern seaboard enterprises why want to turn? To put it bluntly, the cost is too high, land, labor are expensive.

Generally speaking, the cost of land in the east is 3-5 times higher than that in the central and western parts of the country, and the cost of labor is also 30%-50% higher.

Some national development zones in the eastern region, land development is running out, want to build new parks, enterprises to invest in the expansion of production are quite difficult.

Environmental pressure is also increasing, the urgent need to eliminate backward production capacity. In addition, Europe and the United States "broken chain" impact, enterprises have to transfer production capacity.

And the Midwest is the ideal choice.

With 45 percent of the country's population here, and close to the "Belt and Road" land corridor, enterprises can not only explore new markets after the transfer, but also enjoy the policy dividends.

In the processing trade industry, the strength of the central and western regions should not be underestimated.

The textile and apparel industry, for example, in the first four months of this year, the western 12 provinces and cities of textile and apparel exports, an increase of 28.7% year-on-year; Guangxi, Xinjiang, Hubei and other places to grow as high as 36% -48%, far more than the eastern region.

The textile and garment industry in Xinjiang, Sichuan and other places, but also against the trend.

For the Midwest, want to seize this wave of industrial transfer dividends, investment to keep pace, have to figure out how to attract enterprises to their own territory.

02 Midwest how to take

Attract coastal enterprises, relying on cheap land prices, labor is not enough.

What enterprises value more is whether the upstream and downstream industrial chain is mature? Is the talent specialized? The logistics is not fast? The company's business environment is good," he said.

To put it in detail, the transportation is not convenient, the plant hardware facilities are complete, the industry supporting the feasibility; the government is efficient, promised things can be done; local can be integrated into their own supply chain.

Specifically how to do it, the first three steps:

The first step is to find out the bottom of the house, select the main industry.

Look at what resources we have in our hands, what industry is suitable for development. Don't be greedy, concentrate on a few core industries.

Different stages of development, investment methods must change, not a set of methods to the end.

The second step, take the initiative to find opportunities, build a good docking bridge.

Don't wait for companies to come to their own, go directly to the eastern industry to turn out of the province "knocking on the door".

For example, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, rely on rare earth resources, focusing on the eastern rare earth deep processing, high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises, according to the needs of people customized program, successfully pulled a lot of good projects.

And the eastern developed regions to engage in the "enclave economy", such as Anhui and Jiangsu to build the Su Chu Modern Industrial Park, the two sides together to make money and share the value of production.

The third step, hold on to the leading enterprises, string up the industrial chain.

Focusing on the introduction of leading enterprises can be the "chain master", they come, upstream and downstream of the small business naturally followed.

And the neighboring cities to play a good cooperation, each do their own advantageous work, do not own people to steal food.

You can also set up an industrial alliance to keep abreast of industry trends; set up an investment office in the east, and send specialists to door-to-door service, like a "shopkeeper" to buttress the needs of enterprises.

In the investment process, amplify our trump card advantage. Don't just say "we have", but also make it clear that "enterprises can get what benefits".

For example, the policy dividend. You can directly tell the enterprise: "Come to me here, can save money, open up new markets".

Like Guangxi, Yunnan next to ASEAN, ride on the RCEP FTA express, live use of the rules of origin, can be close to the development of overseas markets, so that enterprises will be easy to sell their products to Southeast Asia.

The transportation advantage must also be said through. Now the inland areas of location disadvantage, has long been transformed into an open frontier.

With the city through the high-speed rail, the county through the high-speed, and artificial canals navigable, coupled with the China-European liner, air logistics hub perfect, now out to sea much faster than before.

For example, with the "Belt and Road" node city advantage, Chengdu-Chongqing electronic products carrying the China-European liner, through Central Asia directly to Europe, do not have to turn thousands of kilometers from the port of Shanghai, Guangzhou port and other places out to sea.

And then, for example, Zhengzhou was approved to become one of the first batch of the country's only airport-type national logistics hub.

The Zhengzhou Airport Zone relies on the "Air Silk Road + National Airport Hub" to sell cell phones and other high-value-added electronic products to the world.

Whatever the advantage, it has to follow the actual needs of enterprises. But the advantages alone are not enough, the localities must also come up with practical policies to pave the way for enterprises.

Take Guangxi for example.

Data show that in the first quarter of this year, Guangxi processing trade import and export growth of 63.4%, higher than the national average growth rate of a large (56.9%). Behind this, can not be separated from the policy support.

Some time ago, the local and introduced the "Guangxi on enhancing the level of development of processing trade of a number of policy measures", the launch of 28 initiatives, from the three directions of the precise tactics.

One is to build a good "industrial base camp", focusing on building Nanning, Beihai and other five national processing trade gradient transfer to undertake, cultivate exclusive industrial parks.

The second is the inter-provincial and Guangdong "team" to engage in cooperation, borrowing the Ministry of Commerce "processing trade online industrial exchange and docking platform", holding tight to the "thigh" of the Greater Bay Area, to undertake the R & D Design, logistics and warehousing projects, and explore tax sharing "enclave economy" mode.

Thirdly, with the advantage of bordering the sea, using the national policy of bordering port industrial parks to undertake industrial transfer, build cross-border industrial chain, and open up cross-border fast logistics channel.

Overall, the central and western regions to catch this wave of industrial transfer dividends, hardware and software to keep up, positioning to feel accurate, the strategy to use the right.

With the advantage of bottoming out, policy escort, enterprises are naturally willing to come to investigate and invest.

Only in this way can we seize the opportunity in the tide of industrial transfer, so that the pace of economic development is more stable and faster!
