June 30, oil prices rise again, this is the fourth time this year oil prices rise.
Experts point out that oil prices will continue upward forced out of a large number of SMEs in the logistics industry, the resulting industry structure will change.
"Oil is the bulk of the cost of oil floating about so many companies too much pressure." Shanghai to road transport a small logistics company mainly responsible to the "China's Sankei Shimbun," complained, profits have been thin , cost about so much more, companies unbearable.
At current prices, fuel transportation costs, logistics costs account for about 40%, which means that each of the retail fuel price increased by 10% the cost of logistics enterprises in transport operations will be increased by 4%. Transportation logistics company in Suzhou, the average profit margin of only 3% -5% of the cases, the impact of their normal business is great.
"Oil prices will definitely endanger the survival of SMEs logistics, trade patterns will certainly change." Yang told analysts Ampang consulting logistics "China Sankei Shimbun," the oil price increase is the most affected transport vehicle and zero-one freight, because of strict management so that these companies have not overloaded the space, but, due to the logistics industry has been hit is the price war, so the cost by raising prices to pass on the way it is difficult to pass the line: "There is no several companies dare to raise prices arbitrarily, in the competition is so intense, raising the market price means the loss of part of Kunshan. "
In particular the rise in international crude oil prices have entered the channel, China has repeatedly raise prices of refined oil, and by the international financial crisis, the transport business volume continued to decline, the market is difficult to raise tariffs. Double in cost and price squeeze, the operating difficulties of logistics enterprises in Kunshan will be further intensified.
Really sad is that most SMEs, whether from the affordability aspect, or care from a policy perspective, the industry's major business conditions are far better than SMEs.
July 14, China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, Deputy Secretary-General Teng He was told the "China Sankei Shimbun," China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing have been tentatively set "on issues related to traffic management policy recommendations", is currently soliciting revisions , July 20 after comments will be submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission. In this proposal, specifically made for a substantial increase in fuel prices when the scale logistics enterprise subsidies given to the proposal stage.
Proposals on the implementation of logistics transport vehicles fuel price subsidies. In the domestic fuel prices by more than 5% of the logistics for a scale 3-6 months of periodic subsidies. Channel subsidies to pay sales tax with the same channel, allowing enterprises to fuel purchase invoices in proportion to the business tax deduction. To promote environmentally-friendly vehicles to accelerate updates, synchronous boost commercial vehicle manufacturing, subsidies should be limited to the latest environmental standards in line with national green logistics vehicles.
HE Deng-Cai pointed out that the intensity on subsidies is still no clear idea, but proposed subsidies for the period of 3-6 months, the purpose is to help enterprises cost of a sudden increase in the tariff case of a smooth transition.
"The current situation of China's logistics industry is small, scattered and poor, not enough concentration, it is recommended only for enterprise scale subsidies, on the one hand is to consider the affordability of the reality that all companies would be unrealistic subsidies; other On the one hand but also tends to help the enterprises bigger and stronger. "He pointed out that the board was told this reporter, rising oil prices could threaten the survival of some small and medium enterprises, leading to changes in industry structure, and preferential policies will guide the changes occur.
It is understood that the logistics industry in our country there are many and complex, small and poor, many low level of technology issues, enterprises engaged in low level of competition, rather than by science and technology and management. The low level of technology and the low level based on factors such as excessive competition in China's enterprises in the logistics industry, trucking, warehousing, courier services, freight forwarding and general logistics business, profitability is very low, the profitability of enterprises in which only the storage 3% -5%, the profitability of transport companies is only 2% -3%. This financial crisis has aggravated the conflict. Zuo, vice president of China Society of Logistics said, as the global economic crisis, falling demand of logistics, there are more than four percent of the logistics enterprises falling profits or even losses, small and medium sized logistics enterprises in parts of Shanghai began to withdraw from the logistics market.
