Recent research by a subsidiary of the National Development and Reform Commission shows that Chinese companies have a lot of room for development in Africa. The research report indicated that the African continent with a population of 700 million is not only vast, but also full of opportunities. Almost all of Africa The country's demand for light industry, home appliances, electronics, and hardware processing products is huge, and this is precisely a huge market that many Chinese businessmen ignore.

​

Just as some countries are blocking Chinese products with trade barriers and non-tariff trade barriers, the development of Chinese companies in Africa is not only a way out for "the East is not bright, the West is bright", but also to "set aside the road and occupy The "two-handed" approach economically surrounds "the world's cities" with "world's rural areas". Researchers from the National Development and Reform Commission believe that Africa has 53 countries with an annual trade volume of 250 billion U.S. dollars, while the local industry is generally backward, and most of its products rely on imports. Africa’s business opportunities come from the high degree of complementarity between China and Africa’s economies, that is, in terms of resources, industry, trade, and markets.

In fact, my country’s agriculture and aquaculture are also important channels for developing economic and trade cooperation with Africa. A farmer from Shandong came to work as a chef at a Chinese company in Kenya and found that the local land lease price was cheap, the light and heat conditions were suitable and the vegetable market was huge. So he started to grow Lai in Kenya. After several experiments, he made a fortune from growing vegetables and also drove the development of vegetable farming in Kenya, which was welcomed and affirmed by the Kenyan government. Therefore, not only light industries, such as textiles and garments and electronic industries, but also traditional industries such as agriculture and fisheries, are also very useful in entering Africa.

African countries’ macroeconomic conditions are generally poor, their domestic economic structures are single, and their balance of payments is particularly unbearable. Therefore, most of the world’s least developed countries are concentrated in Africa, and they are also beneficiaries of global poverty alleviation and debt relief. However, as long as their rich natural resources and human resources can be developed, many African countries will increase their ability to pay. Even if they do not have hard currency to pay for the time being, companies will be able to buy part of the profits from many African resources and transport them back home. Of profit.

In view of the fact that my country has granted special preferential tariff treatment to some African countries, some enterprises in Guangdong have begun to tap the "gold mine" of special African commodities. According to statistics from Gongbei Customs, in the first quarter of 2006, the value of imported African special merchandise in the Guangdong Customs Area was US.77 million, 3.4 times that of the entire year of last year. It is also a development direction for enterprises to purchase African resources for local processing and transport them back to the domestic supply market.

Therefore, hardware processing products such as speaker nets, perforated nets, sound box iron nets and other products will usher in another spring in Africa.
