Yiwu, China, April 30 (Wang Xuying, Fang Jing, Wu Fengyu) "Yiwu express delivery industry is developed, and there are many resources in small commodity city. In March, we set up a company in Yiwu, which has just started recently, and can trade an average of more than 100 orders per day. On the 30th, Yiwu, Zhejiang, Peng Zhaojian, founder of Zhejiang Leidu Trading Co., Ltd., said in an interview with China News Network reporter.

As China accelerates the construction of a new development pattern of "double circulation", in the first quarter of this year, in the "world supermarket" Yiwu, a total of 43,300 new market entities like Peng Zhaojian's enterprises were added, an increase of more than 70% year-on-year. In March this year, during peak hours, Yiwu could add 1,000 new bosses a day.

"Since the weather warmed up, the demand for travel has increased, and the demand for student supplies and outdoor supplies has risen. Recently, our foreign trade customers have returned more orders, and the number of new domestic trade customers has increased significantly. Jin Xian, head of Yiwu Chenhui Luggage Materials Co., Ltd., said that as early as the beginning of March this year, corporate orders were scheduled until May.

At the same time, Yiwu's e-commerce entities have exceeded 1/3 of the total number of market entities. In the first quarter of this year, Yiwu's e-commerce transaction volume reached 71.909 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), an increase of more than 30% compared with the same period in 2019 and 2020.

Among them, Yiwu cross-border e-commerce retail export transaction volume reached 19.665 billion yuan, an increase of 21.05% year-on-year, especially the scale of cross-border e-commerce exports to Southeast Asia continued to grow.

Yi Qian, general manager of cross-border business of Lazada, the head e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, said: "Yiwu is a cross-border e-commerce highland, with unique advantages in terms of goods, logistics and policies. From the data point of view, the number of sellers and turnover growth rate of Yiwu on the Lazada platform are also higher than the overall growth rate of the platform. ”

According to the data, from January to March this year, the business volume of express delivery service enterprises in Yiwu city has reached 1,928.314 million pieces, doubling the year-on-year growth, and the express delivery business volume ranks first in the country. "The company now ships about 30,000 orders a day, and more than 40% of its products come from the Yiwu market." You Jun, head of Yiwu Yankun E-commerce Co., Ltd., said.

Yiwu has become a window into China's new development pattern of "double circulation". It is worth mentioning that with the acceleration of the construction of the pilot free trade zone, Yiwu has proposed to build a small commodity trade system focusing on the "five freedoms" of trade, investment, capital exchanges, transportation exchanges, and freedom of entry and exit of personnel.

For example, in order to promote the landing of market players in Yiwu, Yiwu Innovation launched the "cluster virtual registration", which solves the dilemma that some start-ups have no actual operating space in the pilot free trade zone. In the first quarter of this year, the newly established enterprises in the pilot free trade zone increased by more than 3 times year-on-year. (End)
