The development of China's five major worry Stone

    China is the world Stone major industrial countries from the 1990s onwards, its production, consumption, trade volume has been highest in the world. In 2002 China's total import and export volume amounted to 1.6 billion US dollars, accounting for world trade in Stone 13%. However, in rapid development, it is also Stone industry norms and to be a lot of problems.

    It is understood that various types of stone industry has nearly 30,000 enterprises. The country has formed a four processing bases. That is, Shandong Laizhou, Nanan Fujian, Guangdong and Sichuan Yaan Yunfu. In addition, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Henan, Zhejiang, Hubei, Xinjiang also new emergence of a group of stone processing base, the figures provided by the General Administration of Customs show that China's exports in 2002 amounted to 11.4277 billion dollars stone than in the previous year increased by 20.58 thus become the country's Stone the first single domestic exports of building materials products.

    Experts say that has achieved remarkable results in the same time, China's stone industry is also faced with five major worry.

    First, the standard is not perfect enough, it is difficult to guarantee quality. For the moment, however, China's existing natural granite architectural sheet metal products in 1992 is the standard implementation of the JC/205-92 "natural granite stone building sheet" building materials industry standards. With scientific and technological development, equipment upgrading, as well as decoration and strict demands, China's existing standards to be amended and improved.

    Second, become disorderly competition in the development of China's stone heart disease. According to industry source said that the so-called China Center Yunfu stone base, a lot of enterprises that several people together a few thousand dollars money, getting a run-up disk, so there are many families in Yunfu the use of the stone processing plants, their product is by means of competition to see who Trial of low prices. Mutual Stones producer prices, bad music is abroad Stone, Stone destroy the whole industry.

    Third, enterprises produce too homogenization of the product, which is also plaguing the Chinese stone industry development. The recent meeting of the Second China (Yunfu) International Stone technology exhibition, more than 100 booths in the display of marble, granite fireplace,elegent, washbasin, and other products, from the material are identical to the pattern. Since bank products in these areas twice that can only make a fuss about the price, the price war will be inevitable.

    One entrepreneur has already seen the crux of the problem, so in 2002 he start with the Qishi business. With those simple stone processing industry compared Qishi of processing and technical requirements are higher, more cultural flavor of the public, the relatively high value-added goods.

    Fourth is the lack of sales personnel, service levels lower. The stone industry in China has more than 500 million persons, but only sold more than 400,000 staff, and sales personnel are really very few. Yunfu City a company manager said that his local scale enterprises in a number of workers. Products as Europe and the United States, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong and other countries and regions, but also need to worry about the shortage of sales personnel.

    Fifth, it is accompanied by uncontrolled, destructive indiscriminate exploitation, outstanding Stone parts of the country are close to depletion of resources. China's resources reserves Stone is first in the world, the consumption of raw materials is also Stone first in the world. A researcher at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, the China Building Decoration Association, president of the Stone Yan Keming appeal: the need to pour cold water on those blindly mining, Stone quickly to the Chinese enterprises correct positioning, and make use of reasonable development so that the scale of the industry, science and technology, enhanced international competitiveness.
