As global economic and trade competition becomes increasingly fierce, Anyang’s foreign trade is like a giant ship sailing through the waves, with its growth rate ranking among the top in the province, and making every effort to explore the global market.
On June 19, walking into the production workshop of Henan Yuxin Sugar Alcohol Co., Ltd., the intelligent production line was at full capacity, and high-purity xylitol and maltitol were being packaged and packaged in an orderly manner, and will be shipped to more than 200 countries and regions around the world.
As a leading company in the functional sugar alcohol industry, its products have a global market share of 29%. This hot overseas scene is a vivid reflection of the strong rise of Anyang’s foreign trade economy.
Anyang’s opening report card is very eye-catching.
In 2025, Anyang City’s import and export of goods trade reached 10.62 billion yuan, with the total amount exceeding 10 billion yuan, and the growth rate ranked third in the province. From January to April this year, the import and export volume was 5.31 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 75%, ranking first in the province. The import and export from January to May was 6.19 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 51.1%, and the growth rate ranked third in the province.
These eye-catching data bear witness to the fact that Anyang takes industry as the foundation, enterprises as the core, and services as the guarantee, opening up two-way channels for domestic and foreign trade, and striving to create a high-quality development path for the export-oriented economy of inland cities.
Optimizing product structure is an important measure for Anyang to activate a new engine of foreign trade.
The city coordinates the iterative upgrading of technological innovations in traditional industries and the clustered development of emerging industries.
Export categories are accelerating the transformation to high-end intelligent manufacturing. Sugar alcohol and photovoltaic glass exports account for more than 90% and 60% of the province respectively. Green products such as new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products have become new business cards for overseas exports.
The trade structure is also continuing to be optimized, with the import and export ratio adjusted to 2:8, general trade, processing trade, and cross-border e-commerce developing in a coordinated manner, and bonded business achieving rapid expansion.
To strengthen market entities, Anyang has implemented a combination of policies, platforms, and talents to continue to release the vitality of the foreign trade market.
In the first five months of this year, the city had 407 companies with import and export performance, a year-on-year increase of 29.6%. Private enterprises supported 86.7% of the city’s foreign trade volume.
357 million yuan of foreign trade loans were accurately allocated, effectively easing the financial pressure on enterprises; the Cross-border E-commerce Association and the Foreign Trade Headquarters Economic Port were launched one after another, and the “Cross-border E-commerce + Industrial Belt” model helped small, medium and micro enterprises to unite and expand overseas.
Relying on the four-party talent co-education mechanism of “politics, schools and enterprises”, we jointly carry out practical training with Anyang Normal University and the Municipal Cross-Border E-Commerce Association to collaboratively fill the gap in foreign-related talents.
To deeply explore the global market, Anyang implements a diversified overseas strategy to stabilize traditional markets, deeply explore the “One Belt and One Road”, and explore emerging markets. At the same time, with the help of “Thousands of Enterprises and Hundreds of Exhibitions”, it organizes enterprises to participate in group exhibitions and stabilizes mature markets such as the European Union, ASEAN, and Australia.
From January to May this year, the city’s imports and exports to countries co-building the “Belt and Road” were 3.36 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 54.7%; its imports and exports to other RCEP member states were 1.93 billion yuan, an increase of 36%.
The multi-regional balanced layout effectively disperses operating risks, and the ability of foreign trade to withstand market fluctuations continues to improve.
Dong Qingping, Secretary of the Party Committee and Commissioner of Anyang Customs, said: “At present, the global economic and trade environment is complex and ever-changing. Anyang’s foreign trade has maintained rapid growth despite the trend, which is a very rare achievement. We will continue to optimize customs clearance facilitation measures and implement various stabilization measures.”
Regarding foreign trade policy, we will carry out “customs officials to deliver policies to your doorstep” to actively help companies out of difficulties, strengthen customs clearance guarantees, help local companies continue to expand overseas markets, and promote the improvement of foreign trade quality and efficiency.
“
Zhao Liuping, Party Secretary and Director of the Municipal Commerce Bureau, made it clear.
The next step of the work direction: “Continue to enrich enterprise-friendly policies, accelerate the construction of foreign trade carriers, upgrade the one-stop comprehensive service of the foreign investment and foreign trade headquarters economic port, integrate foreign-related resources to reduce corporate operating costs; accelerate the implementation of the foreign trade building, guide the concentrated development of foreign trade enterprises, and release the cluster advantages; deepen the four-party talent co-education mechanism of the ‘government-school-enterprise cooperation’ and improve the normalized assistance of enterprises; vigorously incubate new foreign trade entities, promote new models of industry and trade integration, and allow more Anyang manufacturing to sail and market the world.”
