Foreign trade straw bag blowing "low carbon" wind

In recent days, in the international trade city bag trade area, the summer-filled straw bag has entered the sales season ahead of schedule. Orders from the Americas, Europe, Japan, and South Korea continue.

“After the Spring Festival, foreign trade orders began to increase. The sales of straw bags this year are good, but the raw material prices and labor costs have continued to rise sharply, and profits are less than in previous years.” said Ms. Ding, head of Yiwu Jiamei bags. Compared with the beginning of the year, the prices of raw materials such as corn husks and wheat stalks rose by about 10%, and the labor cost was at least doubled.

“Straw bags are hand-made products. In addition to the inclusions, there are some straw bags with lining. Because the bags are too thick to use sewing machines, they also require workers to sewn together and many workers feel too hard. In order to cope with the difficulties of employment, we began to work on the employees after the festival.Our factory is located in Shandong, where the labor price is already relatively low, last year as long as 40-50 yuan a day, now at least 80 yuan "Ms. Ding said that in order to cope with the rising costs, companies have adopted a "to simplify and simplify" approach, to modify the past complex styles, using a simple preparation process, saving materials and improve the efficiency of the preparation. Not only conforms to the general trend of low-carbon and environmental protection, but also coincides with the minimalist trend of this year's straw bag.

“This year's foreign trade is more about environmental protection and low carbon. The order products are mostly whiteboards and have abandoned the popular artificial leather accessories. The whiteboard is a straw bag without any decoration or dyeing. Similar to the semi-finished products, after the customer takes it back, not only can Direct sales, you can also design and re-sale according to your preferences." Ms. Ding said.
