Compared to ordinary retail buyers of "special investors", the voice from a large multinational procurement group in Japan may be able to take over the company's determination. Yesterday, the Canton Fair’s large-scale multinational procurement recommendation meeting ushered in the first TRIAL, a procurement company from Japan. This large-scale supermarket chain, which ranks among the top sales in Japan, sent a procurement team of about 100 people. The purchase amount is expected to reach 3 million U.S. dollars.
According to the company’s overseas development, it is said that at present, Japan’s domestic supplies are in short supply and demand is extremely high, and future purchases will only increase and will not decrease. "Especially in the next six months, as the reconstruction begins, our procurement scale will be greatly increased." "There are too many commodities needed after the earthquake in Japan." Arakawa Chunzao, head of the company's China office, said: "Japan's reconstruction after the earthquake Just beginning, the growth in demand for various commodities, especially building materials, will last for at least five to 10 years."
Japan's Gangnam Trading Co., Ltd. is famous for DIY construction hardware supermarkets in Japan. After this earthquake, its business grew at least 10%. "In the same period, only our family alone has purchased at least 30 million yen, of which about 90% is from China." Arakawa Haruko said that after the earthquake in Japan, the sales volume of poplar plywood even turned up one hundred times. . â€
According to Arakawa Haruki, it is not just the earthquake that caused Japan's retail companies to enter Chinese procurement. In fact, after the global financial crisis, the share of retailers’ direct purchases has been constantly increasing. It is true that various types of Japanese retailers, such as the Quixote and Trial at the Canton Fair, have all come to China for gold rushing. High-quality and inexpensive Chinese goods have great advantages. "We hope that the proportion of sales of direct imports will increase from 30% to 50% in the near future, reaching a level of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. The vast majority of these goods will also come from China," said Arakawa Haruko.
Since Japan’s multinational procurement giants have shown great enthusiasm for purchasing Chinese products, for foreign trade companies in China, what they need to make clear first is: What products do Japan need most at present? What issues need to pay attention to exports to Japan?
"At present, Japan's most urgent need for blankets, flashlights, batteries, food, etc., these materials will be the focus of our purchase of the Canton Fair." TRIAL overseas development to tell the author of the peak. In particular, he emphasized that in view of the shortage of goods in Japan, more consideration is given to the delivery time at the time of purchase, and the price has become secondary. “Although some orders were previously suspended in China, the delay in delivery due to transportation problems was not cancelled.â€
Zhu Qiumei, head of the Don Quixote Corporation of Japan, expressed the same view. He said that at present, orders for some ordinary small appliances may be cancelled, but the amount of daily necessities purchased will increase. “As solar flashlights, emergency lights and other items are urgently needed in Japan, we need a lot of procurement in the near future.†said Zhu Qiumei.
Yao Wenping, vice president of the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry, also told the author that according to the survey conducted by the Electrical and Mechanical Chamber of Commerce at the Canton Fair, a considerable portion of orders from Japan are currently cancelled, but at the same time, domestic diesel generators, water pumps, solar flashlights, and electric Japanese orders for bicycles, hardware products and other categories are very strong.
The author also learned that Japanese purchasers, who have always been highly demanding on product quality, have been considerably relaxed in terms of procurement quality standards (especially relief materials) in light of the current shortage of materials.
