Argentina Entrepreneur'S "China Story"

With the increasingly close economic and trade relations between China and Argentina,

The export structure of China began to diversify from soybean, soybean oil and other bulk commodities in the past. The huge market demand aroused by China's economic pformation is creating more and more opportunities for Argentina enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

The data provided by Alexyevna, marketing director of Argentina DHL, hang der Jones owowitz, shows that the volume of containers exported to Argentina from China has increased significantly in the past 5 years, while the new customers are mainly small and medium-sized export enterprises in Argentina.

In order to comply with market demand, the company has recently launched a "DHL Trading China" service website for Argentina's SMEs.

Exquisite Argentina riding boots

Fernandes has two leather shops in the outskirts of Buenos Aires. He used to export raw cowhide to the leather shoes factories in Zhejiang, China.

Recently, he plans to try to hire workers to export raw leather to high-grade leather products for export to China, and then to sell them in the Chinese market through the marketing channels of partners shoe factories.

Fernandes made the decision after returning to China recently.

He told reporters: "the output of Argentina leather industry is limited. The way to expand exports is to increase the added value of products. Our traditional advantage is high-grade leather processing, and Chinese people also need to consume high-grade leather products now."

Processing leather into high-grade leather products requires at least 25 processes. Argentina cowhide processing technology and product quality are recognized worldwide.

25% of the leather materials used by the world's limousines come from Argentina. Most of the leather materials needed for European fashion clothes are also imported from Argentina.

In fact, Fernandes's idea has been implemented by another Argentina leather trader, Horacio Mochertovuchu.

The top grade leather shoes manufacturer saw the demand for high-grade leather products in China as early as 2011.

In 2011, Horacio exported 20 thousand pairs of high-grade leather sports shoes to China, half of them were Polo boots and the other half were leather.

。

Polo is a high-end sport. Although it has just started in China, China already has excellent polo clubs and sporting events.

China does not produce Polo products, which gives Argentina an opportunity, "Horacio said.

He plans to double the output of polo boots next year, mainly in the Chinese market.

Delicious Argentina cheese

For a long time, the export structure of Argentina to China is relatively simple, mainly soybean based agricultural products.

According to statistics from Abbe consulting company in Argentina, Argentina exported to China in 2011 totaled 6 billion 507 million US dollars, of which 64.5% were soybeans and 7.5% were soybean oil.

With the lowering of the two-way trade threshold between China and Arab countries, especially the active participation of small and medium-sized enterprises, the export of high value-added agricultural products to China in recent years has seen a rapid growth in Argentina.

Argentina's "God's Church" dairy company is located in Cordoba province. It is a family business with only more than 50 people.

Last year, the company exported the first batch of cheese products to China, targeting high-end supermarkets in Beijing and Shanghai.

Alvaro Ugartemondiya, founder of the company, said: "the first batch is mainly to open the market and let the Chinese know the quality of Argentina cheese."

5 years ago, Alvaro founded the company, mainly producing all kinds of traditional Argentina cheese, which was originally exported to Chile, Brazil and Korea.

The reason why the company can enter the Chinese market is mainly due to a series of agricultural products import and export inspection and quarantine agreement signed by the agricultural departments of the two countries.

At present, the company produces 10 thousand tons of cheese per day, of which 67% is used for export, with an annual export volume of about 50 million dollars.

He has visited China for the four time, using the exhibition opportunities to understand the market demand.

He is optimistic that with the opening of the Chinese market, the future output will probably double.

Today, the company has found partners in the Chinese market for joint market expansion and product marketing.

Fashion design and online games

Analia Tajall, a 26 year old fashion designer in Argentina, owns a clothing brand named Jesse Guacu, with her friend Maiya Will Fulin.

Last year, she joined a Chinese trade delegation under the support of the Argentina small and micro enterprise fund, which also opened her "China story".

In China, she met an entrepreneur who ran many chain clothing stores.

The Chinese hired 10 designers from different cultures around the world and formed a virtual design team through the Internet.

Some of the ideas of the tower attracted the attention of the Chinese boss. Later, she was invited to become a member of the international design team of the Chinese enterprise.

After coming back from China, the Argentina entrepreneur who specializes in women's clothing design and production has obtained two contracts. One is the design of a clothing chain store for Chinese bosses, the other is for cooperation with Chinese bosses, and sells Jesse Guacu's brand Argentina clothes in the chain stores of Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing.

The business visiting group to China also has several Argentina software game developers who have been funded. They hope to help Chinese game developers develop new games.

"We contacted several Chinese colleagues, but they said there were too many software people, but they offered to help us sell the developed Argentina games in the Chinese market," said Federico Brick, founder of Argentina "system" game company.

Federico's company is currently developing a mobile game based on Android platform, and has signed a marketing contract with China cooperation company. Once it is successfully debugged, it can be sold in the Chinese game market.

"Now that we have established ties with China, it's our turn to do something," said the 30 year old Argentina game developer.
