The transformation of Zhejiang's export trade has accelerated, and export unit price has been rising rapidly.

Since the beginning of this year, statistics in various fields show that China's foreign trade growth is slowing down, and Zhejiang's big foreign trade province is no exception. Behind the slowdown, is it a sign that our competitiveness in foreign trade is weakening? Traditional foreign trade enterprises can only wait for death?

This is not the case.

The export data of Zhejiang Province, which has been learned by Customs recently, shows that the export of high-tech products in Zhejiang is accelerating. More and more high-tech products with high added value are becoming the new force of Zhejiang's foreign trade export products.

Transformation type: production of high value-added products

Unit price from 0.05 US dollars to 35 US dollars, high and new materials bring new opportunities.

"In the first quarter of this year, our high-tech products exported 3 million 250 thousand US dollars, an increase of more than 40% over the same period last year." Shen Xiaoling, the Jiaxing import and Export Department of Tiantong Cmi Holdings Ltd, revealed.

Why has the company, which has devoted many years to the components of magnetic electronic products, can stand out in similar enterprises?

"Mainly in the first half of 2012, our company has launched a new project, specializing in LED sapphire substrate. In the first quarter of this year, the product officially entered the foreign market. The sapphire substrate material in Shen Xiaoling's mouth is widely used in high-end products such as apple mobile phone display and high-grade watch surface. It is one of the most popular high-tech materials at present.

According to the company, the price of LED sapphire substrate (4 inches) is more than 35 dollars compared with the electronic parts with a price of only 0.05 US dollars in the past. Last month, the export volume of Tiantong company exceeded $300 thousand, "the target of this year is 200 million yuan."

"Now our products cover all kinds of sapphire crystals under 14 inches, and 2 to 6 inches of substrate, and actively invest in the development of larger size products, and strive to become the leader of China's Sapphire industry." Shen Xiaoling revealed that in addition to sapphire crystal, LED smart home lighting, intelligent outdoor lighting and other products are also becoming the new growth point of the company.
