At the beginning of the seventh year of Qian Sheng, the Carfiya Empire in the Southwest Continent raised the tariff on cheap cotton from the Daheng Empire. The reason was that the quality of the cotton from the Daheng Empire was extremely poor and the price was very cheap, seriously damaging the local industry. Textile industry ecology.
As for the Orissa Empire in the south, they adopt a high tariff policy on many export commodities of the Daheng Empire, even the food they urgently need. They would rather pay higher prices to import food from other countries. Willing to import grain from Daheng.
Of course, grain merchants from many countries order grain from the Daheng Empire and then sell it to the Orissa people.
In the past two years, many companies in the Daheng Empire have felt the pressure of trade barriers from foreign countries.
And you can’t blame other countries, because the one with the most serious trade barriers on contemporary Blue Star must be the Daheng Empire!
The Daheng Empire has adopted a high tariff policy on almost all imported goods in order to protect the development of domestic industry and commerce.
The same is true even in the high-end machinery industry. If you don't raise tariffs, why don't domestic companies import better quality and more advanced foreign machinery products instead of using their own tattered domestic products?
Without the support of the domestic market, a large number of domestic machinery manufacturers that may seem high-end but have poor technology will go bankrupt.
Because in fair competition, they simply cannot compete with similar foreign products.
The current trade policy of the Daheng Empire is to implement the strictest trade protection policy to keep foreign products out!
In the domestic market, the hands and feet have been liberalized to allow manufacturers to compete on their own. In order to further stimulate the competitiveness of domestic manufacturers, the Daheng Empire has been continuing to reform the economic environment in recent years.
The most important feature is that state capital controlled by the State Assets Commission has begun to gradually withdraw from non-core areas, especially the textile industry, a core industry in the light industry. At present, state capital has completely withdrawn and has all been converted into private capital.
At the same time, the market participation in mining, machinery, steel and other industries has been further increased, and many large enterprises controlled by the State Assets Commission have been listed on the market, private capital has been introduced, and market-oriented operations have been carried out.
Of course, the core industry still adopts the wholly-owned holding model, but even if it is wholly-owned by the State Assets Commission, it still conducts market-oriented operations on these enterprises and introduces professional managers to manage the enterprises.
Carrying out market-oriented operations and expanding the competitiveness of the domestic market has actually led to the bankruptcy of many companies in this process, but this does not matter, because in this process more companies have grown and grown, and countless new companies have been established every day.
This can be seen from the further expansion of the urban population of the Daheng Empire. The industrialization process of the Daheng Empire is continuing to develop rapidly and has not been affected by the reform process. There has not even been any unemployment wave in the urban population during this process. .
Because the Daheng Empire's industry continues to develop, this company has closed down, and another company has expanded its scale. The total market demand for workers has continued to increase. Otherwise, more and more people would not have left rural areas and entered the city. .
The Daheng Empire's industry and commerce continue to develop, which is fully reflected in the Daheng Empire's international trade. In the seventh year of Qian Sheng, the total international trade of the Daheng Empire is expected to exceed three billion yuan.
The total import volume is estimated to be 1.4 billion Hang Yuan, and the total export volume is estimated to be 1.6 billion Hang Yuan. The trade surplus is huge, reaching a huge 200 million Hang Yuan.
There is not much to say about the imported goods. They are basically high-end industrial products from powerful countries such as the Kingdom of Krul and the Valia Empire, such as machinery and equipment, as well as some high-end daily consumer goods or raw materials, such as high-grade cotton and high-grade woolen fabrics.
, high-end wine, coffee, fruits, precious wood furniture, spices, raw silk, bird droppings, rubber, etc.
In terms of exports, agricultural products still accounted for the largest share, reaching a huge amount of 700 million yuan. It is worth noting that the total export volume of agricultural products was the same as last year. At the same time, the export volume of grain dropped slightly, and cash crops such as cotton increased slightly.
However, the Daheng Empire's total agricultural output value continues to increase. As more land is reclaimed, the cultivated land area further increases, the agricultural output value further increases, grain output increases significantly, and other types of economic crops also increase significantly.
The output value of agricultural products has increased, but the export volume has not increased. There are two major reasons. One is that more agricultural products are consumed by the domestic people.
Another important factor is that many agricultural products are not exported directly, but are processed and then exported!
This is a good thing, which means that Daheng’s domestic consumption capacity of agricultural products has further improved, which reflects the further increase in people’s income.
At the same time, grain is processed into various grain processing products and then exported in large quantities, which can create greater added value.
This means that the grain processing industry of the Daheng Empire has achieved great results through continuous development, and the empire has also achieved certain success in the structural adjustment of agriculture.
It not only increases the income of farmers, but also increases the domestic supply of more food, and can earn foreign exchange through exports.
It has changed the previous single agricultural economic structure of simply growing food and exporting food.
Not only grain processed products, the export volume of other processed products is also increasing year by year, such as textiles, the most important product in contemporary international trade.
In the past, Daheng people would only foolishly export cotton and wool, but now, although Daheng people have worked hard to improve their technology for several years, they have now begun to export textiles.
Although relatively low-end cotton and sheep cloth are sold at very low prices, they rely on domestic low raw material costs and labor cost advantages. At the same time, domestically generally implements low tax policies for these industries, so although the quality is poor, they rely on low prices.
It is still possible to obtain low-end markets in some countries.
Well, some countries such as the Gadiya Empire had an impact on their own textile industry because the textiles exported by the Daheng Empire were too heavy and cheap, so they raised tariffs in a targeted manner.
Although it has encountered troubles, it still represents that the industrial development of the Daheng Empire has made great progress in recent years. The export volume of industrial products is increasing, and even the export of industrial products has accounted for 100% of the total exports.
About fifty.
There are textiles, leather products, furniture, paper and some low-end daily industrial products, but the largest share of them is still petroleum-related products.
Petroleum products, mainly kerosene and lubricants, have become the most important industrial exports of the Daheng Empire. It is expected that the total export volume of petrochemical products will reach 200 million yuan in Qian Sheng's seven years.
Among all Daheng’s export commodities, it is second only to food!
