Stone export products change was brought about by structural adjustment
- In the past 2003, the National Stone industry after World Stone market this invisible "hand" of the product structural adjustment, compared with the previous year increased by 223 million US dollars of net income, annual exports 1.365 billion US dollars, the average unit price by 2002 , 119 US dollars / ton rose to 140 US dollars / ton. Export-oriented imports have risen steadily, the annual import 586 million US dollars, an increase of 144 million US dollars. Total import and export of encroaching upon 2 billion US dollars, still firmly ranks second in the world, again in a single building material products domestic exports frontier 8 years reelection as First National building materials industries. To adjust the structure of export products, high technology content and added value, manufactures industrial chain and stone downstream products such as decoration, product installation design, after sales service for fast development.
- The weight of 6.88 million tons, accounting for total exports 71%, due to accounting for the largest proportion of the granite type deep processing of value-added products, making the annual export of stone weighing 1.66 percent increase, but received 223 million US dollars of income. Stone industry experts point out that with deep processing, high added-heavy, full-service upgrade traditional stone products for their gold content is the most economic, most obvious and most efficient method than simply an increase in the number of simple value driven economic growth to much. Experts on China's import and export Stone future forecasts the development trend, if continued to maintain and increase their gold content of this stone products structural adjustment, in 2006, China Stone exports will reach 2 billion US dollars, while imports will reach 800 million US dollars. In 2003, China's stone product import the same products achieved a synchronous growth, but simply the number before long, and import volume reached 586 million US dollars, while imports quality 3.4 million tons, respectively, year-on-year increase of 32.58% and 34.39%; still mainly concentrated in the scarce species such as marble materials, granite materials, marble plate; deep processing of sheet metal products marble, granite sheet showed a further downward trend. Annual imports of products from the Stones, priced 172 US dollars / ton and 2002 of 174 US dollars tons basically the same, that the profits of international trade has gradually Stone reasonable. Although the 2003 China's export of stone products achieved a result of the structural adjustment benefits, but with the world of Stone 170 US dollars / ton still a big gap Moreover, a large part of China's stone sculptures, carved stone, and so not included in the industrial arts Stone of Stone. Thus, Stone imports speaking, the way forward still will not be smooth.
