Is it difficult to do logistics business (sea and air transport) in Dongguan now? Thank you very much

Title: Analysis of the Development Status and Trend of Dongguan Logistics Industry

First, the development status of the logistics industry in Dongguan

(A) the development of logistics industry in our city

In recent years, the logistics industry in our city has developed by leaps and bounds, and the total amount of logistics has been expanding. In 2005, the added value of transportation, post and telecommunications in our city was 1 1505438+0 billion yuan, an increase of 10% over the previous year. Our city's railway network hub has obvious advantages, and it is the intersection of Beijing-Kowloon, Guangzhou-Meishan, Guangzhou-Shenzhen, Guangzhou-Shenzhen quasi-expressway and Guangzhou-Kowloon. It is very convenient to travel to and from Hong Kong and Kowloon, Beijing, Shanghai and East China, and has a high-density expressway network. By the end of 2004, the city's highway mileage was 264 1 km, and the highway density was 107. 14 km/. The city's coastline is 1 15.9 kilometers, and the inland navigation mileage is 798 kilometers. Humen Port, the main port, is a national first-class port, which is open to foreign ships. In 2005, the port cargo throughput was 22,765,438+900,000 tons. Although there is no self-built airport in our city, there are five airports, including Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, within 100 km, and air transportation is also very convenient. By the end of 2005, there were 1593 transportation, warehousing and other related logistics enterprises (including operation department, service department and office) registered in the whole city. According to the data of the first national economic census, at the end of 2004, there were 464 legal entities in transportation, warehousing and postal services in our city, and the number and scale of logistics enterprises are expanding year by year. Advanced logistics management technologies such as information management technology and network technology have been initially applied in logistics enterprises in our city. In addition to the traditional transportation, warehousing and freight forwarding business, leading enterprises such as Southern Logistics have been able to provide modern logistics services such as information processing, logistics solution design and supply chain management for industrial and commercial enterprises in our city, and the industrial support service function of the logistics industry has been gradually enhanced.

(B) the progress of logistics base construction in our city

Humen Port, Changping Dajingjiu and Songshan Lake are the key construction projects of our city's logistics industry in the Tenth Five-Year Plan, and they are important carriers to promote the agglomeration and upgrading of our city's logistics industry. To this end, all levels and departments in our city attach great importance to it, and the three major logistics bases have set up special preparatory bodies to actively promote the planning and construction progress of logistics bases.

1. Changping Dajingjiu Logistics Base. In 2002, changping town established Dajingjiu Logistics Park Development Co., Ltd. to co-ordinate the development and construction of logistics parks according to the mode of enterprise operation. The controlled planning land of the Logistics Park is 4,500 mu, and the completed projects include Dongguan Grain, Oil and Feed Wholesale Market, Dongguan Dajingjiu Agricultural and Sideline Products Center Wholesale Market, Changping Convention and Exhibition Center, Huangpu Customs Express Supervision Center, Dajingjiu Plastic Raw Materials Market, etc. Express supervision center covers an area of more than 70 mu with a total investment of about 70 million yuan. At present, more than 500 customers have entered the center to handle express mail, including internationally renowned express delivery companies such as Federal, DHL and UPS. The Dajingjiu Logistics Base project is basically based on the wholesale market, relying on the relatively mature advantages of railway freight, and promoting the development of local freight warehousing industry with the wholesale circulation of agricultural and sideline products. However, apart from the express supervision center, there are no other professional logistics facilities in the base, and there are few third-party logistics enterprises.

2. Humen Port Logistics Base. Humen Port has built 23 wharves 123 and 207 berths, with a total length of 1.3 million meters. The maximum berthing capacity is 5,000 tons for containers and multipurpose docks, 20,000 tons for oil docks and 50,000 tons for coal docks. At present, Humen Port has completed the strategic planning of logistics system development in Humen Port of Dongguan. Projects under construction include eight petrochemical storage terminal projects, including Port Avenue, No.5 and No.6 container berths in Shatian Port Area, PetroChina Tongda Oil Depot in Lisa Island and grain depot directly under the province. As a national first-class port, Humen Port can only handle cargo ships of less than 50,000 tons at present, and only a few terminals have warehouses, which are small in storage area and lack the conditions to handle ocean-going cargo ships. Except for the joint inspection building of Shatian Customs, there are basically no other modern logistics facilities, and the traffic connection between the port area and most towns in the city is still very inconvenient, which seriously restricts the development of Humen Port.

3. Songshan Lake Logistics Base. The original planned land area is 1.5 square kilometers. After the Municipal Bonded Logistics Center was transferred to Humen Port for project construction, Songshan Lake Logistics Base has contacted the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Deputy Mayor to discuss canceling the project construction, and only reserved 100 mu of land for logistics supporting facilities and project development, including applying for the construction of bonded logistics center (type A).

Generally speaking, due to unclear positioning and imperfect supporting facilities, management measures and investment promotion efforts need to be strengthened. At present, there are fewer enterprises entering the park, fewer third-party logistics companies, and the construction of the three major logistics bases is relatively slow. At present, the logistics base has not really become the leader in the development of logistics industry in our city.

(C) the development of logistics enterprises in our city

Logistics enterprises are the main body of logistics development and the providers of logistics services. The development scale and service level of logistics enterprises represent the development level of logistics industry. The logistics industry in our city is in the primary development stage, and the scale of logistics enterprises is generally small, mainly providing traditional logistics services such as transportation and warehousing.

1, mainly private enterprises with small scale.

The logistics enterprises in our city are mainly local private logistics enterprises, accounting for more than 60% of the total logistics enterprises, and there are few local state-owned and collective logistics enterprises. Logistics enterprises in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places, as well as large enterprises directly under the central government such as COSCO and Sinotrans, have set up offices, business departments and other branches in our city to expand their business and occupy a considerable market share. In recent years, the number of logistics enterprises in our city has greatly increased, but the scale of enterprises is generally small. Only less than five enterprises, such as Southern Logistics and Long Jun Logistics, have registered capital exceeding10 million yuan. The average number of employees, total assets and main business income of logistics enterprises in our city are lower than those of Pearl River Delta cities such as Guangzhou, Foshan and Huizhou, and even lower than the average level of the whole province (see the attached table for details). Most enterprises do not pay attention to increasing investment and expanding the scale of enterprises, and lack the determination and ability to become bigger and stronger.

2. Traditional services are given priority to, and logistics value-added services are less.

In recent years, the service varieties of logistics enterprises in our city have gradually increased, but at present, the service contents of logistics enterprises in our city are still mainly traditional services such as transportation, warehousing and handling, with low service grade and level and few logistics value-added services. Among the 1593 logistics enterprises registered in our city, there are 1388 transportation and freight enterprises, accounting for 87% of the total logistics enterprises. The function of modern logistics is to design, implement and manage the logistics demand in customers' supply chain, which is characterized by providing logistics management and services that customers need at the lowest cost based on information and logistics expertise. Due to the lack of talents and management ability to carry out related business, only a few enterprises in our city can provide high-level logistics value-added services such as overall logistics scheme design, inventory management, logistics cost control, whole-process tracking feedback and product return management.

3. Low level of logistics management and technology.

At present, the management level of logistics enterprises in our city is low. Most enterprises engaged in logistics services lack the necessary service norms and internal management processes, and the management is extensive, so it is difficult to provide standardized logistics services. Most logistics enterprises do not invest enough in logistics facilities and equipment, do not pay attention to the technical transformation and upgrading of logistics equipment, and the application of modern logistics technology is slow. In all aspects of warehousing, transportation and distribution, manual operation is still the main task, and the degree of informatization is low, so it is difficult to dispatch and allocate resources in time and efficiently, which increases the invalid operation links of goods warehousing, transportation and distribution, reduces the logistics speed, increases the logistics cost, and causes the waste of logistics links and the increase of management costs.

Because most logistics service providers are still limited to the low-profit logistics business, the technology and management level are not high, and the overall efficiency of the logistics industry in our city is not good. The average profit of enterprises, annual per capita business income, annual per capita profit and other indicators reflecting the efficiency and benefit of enterprises are lower than those of developed logistics cities such as Guangzhou, and even lower than the average level of the whole province (see the attached table for details). As far as the current development situation is concerned, the logistics enterprises in our city are far from the real third-party logistics, with low overall quality, few comprehensive logistics companies and weak industrial competitiveness. The number of logistics enterprises in our city, the number of employees, the total assets, business income and total profits only account for 1.05%-5.7% of the whole province (see the attached table for details), which is seriously inconsistent with the economic and trade development level of our city, which accounts for 7% of the national import and export trade volume and most economic indicators rank among the top in the whole province. The function of modern logistics service has not been well played, and it has not played its due role in supporting the industrial upgrading of our city.

(D) Analysis of the causes of the problems in the logistics industry in our city

Our city has a superior geographical position, a solid manufacturing base, a huge consumer population, a perfect transportation network, and huge logistics demand and development potential. In recent years, the municipal party committee, the municipal government and relevant departments have paid more and more attention to promoting the development of the logistics industry, and successively issued the Tenth Five-Year Plan of Dongguan Modern Logistics Industry and the Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Modern Logistics Industry. But so far, the logistics industry in our city is still in a low-level development stage, and its development is slow. Investigate its reason, mainly lies in:

1. People from all walks of life don't have a deep understanding of logistics.

In recent years, with the continuous development of domestic logistics industry, all walks of life are keen to discuss and invest in the development of logistics. Some towns and departments even think that developing logistics is a fashionable thing, which must be mentioned and done. Although many people have a strong desire to develop the logistics industry, they don't know which direction, what and how to develop it. Some places are only keen on speculating the concept of logistics, blindly setting high standards and big goals in combination with their own reality, constantly enclosing new projects, not paying attention to actual operation, not working hard on the construction of logistics infrastructure and service system, not paying attention to upgrading and integrating existing logistics facilities and resources, and taking the road of connotative development, resulting in half the effort. At present, there are still many logistics enterprise operators who only know transportation but don't know logistics, or equate transportation with logistics. They only have some vague understanding of logistics, and they are not clear about the environmental changes and trends of logistics industry development. Most logistics enterprises only know how to expand their business volume, but don't pay attention to enhancing their core competitiveness by improving management level, increasing investment in basic equipment and talent introduction, increasing service types and improving service quality.

2. The local third-party logistics market has not yet formed a scale.

The industrial structure and enterprise structure of our city determine the development level and structure of the logistics market. Large foreign-funded enterprises have a perfect international supply chain management system, and generally have fixed international or domestic well-known logistics enterprises to provide logistics services for them. The service level of local logistics enterprises in our city can not meet the requirements of large foreign-funded enterprises for the time being. Most small and medium-sized foreign-funded enterprises and domestic-funded enterprises are reluctant to use the services of professional logistics companies. This is because on the one hand, the rental price of land and real estate in our city is generally low, and many production and operation enterprises have reserved land and sufficient storage capacity, so the storage cost is low. On the other hand, in recent years, the number of freight operators in our city has greatly increased, the industry competition is fierce, and the cost of purchasing transportation services is low. Therefore, most enterprises think that they can do internal logistics well, with lower cost and no need for third-party logistics services. At the same time, most industries in our city belong to labor-intensive industries, and many enterprises think that the production profit is too small to use the services of professional logistics companies. Although some enterprises have purchased the services of third-party logistics companies, they are only limited to transportation or part of warehousing business, and few enterprises really outsource the whole logistics link to third-party logistics companies. Enterprises in our city generally believe that there is a lack of high-level logistics service providers at present, and even enterprises interested in outsourcing logistics services are not at ease to outsource the whole logistics business. All the above factors have limited and delayed the emergence and development of the demand for efficient and specialized logistics services in our city to a certain extent. At present, the logistics activities of most industrial and commercial enterprises in our city are still mainly completed by internal organizations, so it is not urgent to use third-party logistics services. The demand for third-party logistics has not been fully and effectively started, and the market has not yet formed a scale, which needs further cultivation.

3. The system and market environment of logistics development need to be improved.

The development of modern logistics in China is still in its infancy, and the systems, policies and regulations related to logistics development are still not perfect. The compartmentalized logistics management system has formed a large number of single-function transportation and warehousing enterprises and freight forwarding enterprises of various natures. However, multi-head management makes the development of logistics industry lack unified and effective guidance and supervision, which leads to disorderly competition and serious unfair competition in the industry. In the non-standard market environment, many logistics suppliers reduce their operating costs and service quality and safety through illegal operations such as overloading, unlicensed operation and tax evasion, which makes logistics enterprises, especially transportation enterprises, have low credibility in society and weak credit relationship with customers. In addition, logistics enterprises are often troubled by local protectionism when they carry out logistics business across regions. The development of modern logistics depends on a unified, transparent, fair and efficient system and market environment, which is undoubtedly not conducive to the rapid and healthy development of logistics enterprises in our city.

Second, Dongguan logistics industry development trend analysis

(A) The demand for bonded logistics is growing.

In order to adapt to the changes in China's processing trade situation after China's entry into WTO, the General Administration of Customs has accelerated the reform of the customs supervision mode of processing trade in recent years, with the focus on the pilot of the new mode of bonded supervision. As an internationally renowned manufacturing base, our city has more than 2000 processing trade enterprises/KLOC-0. Most of the raw materials and markets of our products are abroad, and the total amount of bonded exports is very large. At the same time, the scale of bonded domestic sales is also expanding year by year. Therefore, the demand for bonded logistics services in our city will be more and more urgent. In fact, with the adjustment of customs supervision policy, in recent years, some logistics enterprises in our city have tried to carry out bonded logistics business, accumulated certain experience and gradually formed their own advantages in a certain professional field. The following are examples of enterprises in our city actively exploring bonded logistics business in various fields:

1. Nanxin Logistics Center: Dongguan Nanxin Industrial Development Co., Ltd., Dongguan Nokia Mobile Phone Co., Ltd. and British Air Transport Company * * *, established a public bonded warehouse-Nanxin Logistics Center, and gradually learned and mastered the modern distribution and warehousing technology and management methods of Nokia and British Airways. While providing supporting logistics services for Nokia's manufacturing and finished product sales in Dongguan, Nanxin Industrial Company has accumulated experience in bonded logistics management, gradually expanded the scale of bonded warehouses, and applied for the establishment of bonded logistics centers (Class A) to provide bonded logistics services for more high-tech foreign-funded enterprises.

2. Fenggang Logistics Park: This logistics park is located directly opposite Fenggang Customs, covering an area of 35,400 square meters. It is a modern logistics center with a storage capacity of 40,000 cubic meters. It has the qualifications of both public bonded warehouses and export supervised warehouses. It is mainly used for storing bonded warehousing goods such as electronics, hardware and plastics, and providing bonded warehousing, customs declaration and inspection and related value-added services. It is understood that the only logistics parks in China with two warehouse licenses were Shanghai and Suzhou. The logistics park has advanced wireless intelligent monitoring system, which is supervised by the customs on the Internet, and will gradually become a modern bonded warehousing logistics platform in Fenggang customs area.

3. Dongguan Li Yongde Warehouse Co., Ltd.: Li Yongde Co., Ltd. is the largest Japanese logistics enterprise in Hong Kong. In recent years, it is gradually transferring part of its logistics business in Hong Kong to Zhuhai, mainly providing professional supporting logistics services for Japanese enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region. Hong Kong Li Yongde Company is responsible for the export business of processing trade, while Dongguan Li Yongde Company is mainly responsible for the domestic sales business of foreign-funded enterprises and the export business of some customer-specific commodities. Dongguan Li Yongde Company is located behind Xinsha Port Area in Mayong, covering an area of 500 mu, with a total investment of HK$ 500 million. At present, Dongguan Li Yongde Company is applying for the establishment of a bonded logistics center (Class A), which is expected to be officially put into operation in June 2006.

4. Humen Port Logistics Base: The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government decided to transfer the bonded logistics center of the city to the construction of Humen Port Logistics Base. Humen Port Holdings Co., Ltd. formally applied to Huangpu Customs to set up a bonded logistics center (Class B) in August 2005. The logistics center is located in Xidatan Port Area, Sha Tin, with a planned area of 1. 18 square kilometers, of which the start-up area is 0.46 square kilometers. The project closely combines port logistics with bonded logistics. On the one hand, it improves the port's software and hardware facilities and greatly enhances the port competitiveness of Humen Port. On the other hand, it effectively improves the logistics environment of our city and adapts to the current situation of processing trade development and industrial upgrading.

(2) Traditional logistics enterprises are gradually developing into specialized fields.

After years of development, some early established logistics enterprises in our city have accumulated experience, and their development and service orientation have gradually become clear. They have developed into a specialized field and gradually formed their own advantages. By increasing investment and equipment transformation, they have continuously improved their logistics technology and capabilities, and their business scope has gradually expanded, becoming the leader in a certain field of China's logistics market. The following is a successful example of the development of traditional logistics enterprises in our city to the specialized field:

1. Southern Logistics: The company was formerly a military-run enterprise-Southern Industry and Trade Dongguan Storage and Transportation Center, and was reorganized into Dongguan Southern Logistics Co., Ltd. on 1998. Nearly 400,000 square meters of logistics storage centers have been built all over the country, providing more than 200 vehicles of various types, and maintaining a long-term close cooperative relationship with more than 280 fleets and12,800 trucks nationwide, and gradually establishing them. Southern Logistics has passed the ISO900 1 quality assurance system certification, is good at national long-distance freight service, and can provide high value-added logistics services such as overall logistics scheme design. We have maintained long-term business cooperation with TCL, Konka, Ding Xin Group and other well-known domestic large enterprises, and won the title of "Top 100 National Logistics Enterprises in 2005".

2. Shijie Logistics: Dongguan Shijie Logistics Co., Ltd. was formerly a department of Dongguan Sugar and Liquor Group. After the establishment of the company, a large warehouse was built in Sangyuan, Dongcheng, as the distribution center of more than 500 Meijia supermarkets and Meiyijia convenience stores in the Pearl River Delta region, and the required supplementary goods were distributed according to the inventory information fed back by each store. With the rapid development of Meiyijia convenience store, Shijie Logistics has accumulated rich experience in distribution service of sales terminals. At present, the company plans to invest 20 million yuan to carry out information transformation and upgrading, improve distribution efficiency by applying new technologies such as electronic automatic identification system, and provide personalized distribution services according to customer needs.

3. Long Jun Logistics: Guangdong Long Jun Logistics Co., Ltd. is an early enterprise engaged in third-party logistics services in China. Headquartered in Dongguan, it has built a large cargo distribution center covering an area of 19972 square meters, cooperated with more than 100 special transport companies, and established a rapid response sea, land and air combined transport service system with an annual cargo throughput of more than 2 million tons, which is 100 for our city. The company also takes orders online through the self-built network platform, and then distributes them to the operators of the freight yard to improve the supporting services of the freight yard.

4. Postal Logistics: The Logistics Branch of Dongguan Post Office actively expands modern logistics business while carrying out traditional delivery business, including express delivery, delivery in the same city, short-distance automobile cargo transportation in the province, warehousing and inventory management, distribution and LCL service, etc. Because postal logistics has a huge terminal service network, it can provide point-to-point service and tracking supporting services, and has unique advantages in express delivery and distribution logistics. He has acted as an agent for the sales and distribution of Junyao milk, Eagle Money food, Hsu Fu Kee candy and other products, and promoted the development of logistics and distribution business.

(C) foreign-funded logistics enterprises to speed up the entry

With the end of the transition period of China's entry into WTO, China's logistics industry will be further opened to the outside world, and more and more international logistics enterprises will enter the China market. The manufacturing industry in our city, especially the processing trade manufacturing industry, is developed, and there is a great demand for international logistics services. Multinational logistics companies have obvious advantages compared with domestic logistics companies in the field of international logistics, so many multinational logistics companies are interested in investing in our city. In fact, in recent years, many foreign logistics companies have quietly entered our city to expand their logistics business. Relevant data show that there are currently 43 foreign-funded institutions (including enterprise legal persons, branches, business departments and offices) engaged in logistics business in our city, of which 18 are registered in our city. The Sino-foreign joint venture Dongguan Humen Hongye Container Terminal Co., Ltd. opened the first container terminal in Dongguan-Hongye Container Terminal on 1986, which is also the largest container terminal with the most functions in our city at present. Foreign logistics enterprises from other cities in China, especially Guangzhou and Shenzhen, have come to Dongguan to expand their business. At present, no less than 10 enterprises have set up branches or offices in our city. Since the implementation of CEPA, Hong Kong and Macao logistics enterprises have accelerated their entry into our city. Except Li Yongde and other companies, 1 1 enterprises have set up representative offices. Singapore Port Authority, a world-class logistics enterprise, is currently negotiating with Humen Port Holding Co., Ltd. to invest in the development of Humen Port. There are indications that many foreign logistics enterprises have taken a fancy to the huge logistics market and development potential of our city. With the liberalization of the policy, foreign capital will accelerate its entry into the logistics market in our city. On the one hand, it brings high-level logistics services to industrial and commercial enterprises in our city, on the other hand, it also intensifies the competition in our logistics market, prompting local logistics enterprises to accelerate their growth by constantly learning new logistics technologies and business concepts.

Third, promote the development of modern logistics in our city.

(A) deepen understanding and vigorously promote the concept of logistics

Modern logistics will play an increasingly important role in the operation of the national economy. It is necessary for government departments and enterprises to strengthen the study of modern logistics theory and deepen their understanding of modern logistics concepts. In the process of accelerating the development of modern logistics, government departments at all levels must follow the laws of the market and determine the direction of industrial development with market demand. Government departments should guide logistics enterprises to improve logistics service level and management efficiency through technological transformation and application of new technologies, but they should not subjectively decide the development direction of local logistics industry, let alone speculate on logistics concepts, go on projects indiscriminately, or even be seized by land resources. Modern logistics is an advanced industry. To develop modern logistics, we should have a long-term vision and weigh the advantages and disadvantages in depth, and we should not destroy the market environment and long-term development plan for short-term interests. In addition, at present, the understanding of modern logistics in all walks of life in our city is still vague. Relevant government departments should increase publicity, popularize modern logistics technology and knowledge, and enhance the awareness of industrial and commercial enterprises to purchase modern logistics services and logistics enterprises to apply modern logistics technology. Modern logistics technology can improve the circulation speed and on-time delivery rate of goods, save a lot of logistics costs and interest costs of funds occupied by goods in the logistics process, improve the capital turnover rate of enterprises, and then improve the overall operational efficiency of enterprises.

(B) a clear direction, focusing on the development of bonded logistics

To speed up the development of modern logistics industry in our city, we must first make clear the development direction of logistics industry in our city. The development orientation of our city is a famous modern manufacturing city, and the main development goal of logistics industry is of course to provide perfect supporting services around the needs of manufacturing industry. Our city is dominated by foreign economy. At present and for a long time to come, the manufacturing industry will be dominated by processing trade manufacturing. Both export and domestic sales involve a lot of import and export of goods and customs supervision, and bonded logistics is an effective way to deal with the above problems. Processing trade enterprises shall notify the logistics center in advance when they need to use raw materials or store finished products for bonded storage nearby. The logistics center will arrange customs declaration, transportation, packaging, sorting, warehousing and other processes to provide professional logistics services. Transportation services can be used locally or from other places, but in terms of warehousing, local bonded warehousing is definitely more advantageous, which can better meet the needs of production and provide services in time. Therefore, our city should focus on the development of bonded logistics, and apply for rational allocation of multiple bonded logistics centers according to the distribution of processing trade manufacturing industry, so as to provide more convenient and efficient import and export logistics services for processing trade manufacturing industry.

With the deepening of economic globalization and China's opening to the outside world, the developed processing trade areas such as the Pearl River Delta will probably transform into free trade areas. Gradually adjust and improve customs supervision policies to create a more flexible and free development environment for opening up along the border. Bonded zone, bonded logistics park and bonded logistics center, as the transitional forms of China's free trade zone, are gradually being piloted in coastal areas. Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places have been approved by the State Council to set up the highest form of bonded logistics-bonded logistics parks linked by districts and ports. Our city has developed processing trade. If we have a perfect bonded logistics service system, it will greatly improve the circulation efficiency of processing trade materials and finished products, and then improve the productivity and production efficiency of the city, forming obvious comparative advantages and international competitiveness. However, there are only a few public bonded warehouses in our city at present, and the supply of bonded logistics facilities is seriously insufficient. A large number of bonded businesses have been transferred to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other surrounding areas, which, on the one hand, has caused the loss of local income, and on the other hand, has made the procedures for cross-regional customs declaration and delivery more complicated. Therefore, the municipal government and relevant functional departments should actively strive for the pilot and implementation of the national policies on bonded logistics centers and bonded logistics parks in our city and enjoy the open and preferential policies implemented by the state.

(3) Coordinated promotion and strengthened government policy support.

Development and reform, economy and trade, transportation, highways, ports, maritime affairs, customs, foreign trade, industry and commerce, traffic police, taxation and other departments participate in the management of a certain field of the logistics industry from different angles, and their policies and measures have affected the development of the logistics industry to varying degrees. If the development ideas and management measures of various departments are not unified, or individual departments only consider their own interests, or even set up local or departmental economic barriers, it will often have a serious impact on the development of modern logistics. Therefore, all relevant functional departments in our city should further strengthen communication and coordination, exchange and report relevant logistics information in a timely manner, straighten out the relationship, formulate effective measures, and gradually establish a logistics service and management system in line with international standards to promote the rapid and healthy development of modern logistics industry in our city.

In recent years, the state has supported and encouraged the construction of logistics infrastructure, technological transformation and technological progress in industrial policies, and guided the healthy and orderly development of the logistics industry by formulating and improving logistics standards and development plans. All departments should vigorously publicize and implement the national, provincial and municipal policies and related documents to promote the development of the logistics industry, actively strive for national and provincial preferential policies and fiscal and tax subsidies, accelerate the construction of logistics infrastructure in our city, and support the development of logistics enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. Support high-quality logistics projects, especially large-scale logistics projects invested by well-known logistics enterprises at home and abroad in our city, in terms of land use indicators. Our city can refer to the practice of Shenzhen and set up special funds for the development of modern logistics industry, focusing on supporting the infrastructure construction of logistics bases, the construction of bonded logistics centers and the information application of logistics enterprises.

(4) Opening wider to the outside world and increasing investment attraction.

In a short period of more than 20 years, our city has developed from an agricultural county into an internationally renowned manufacturing city by introducing a large number of funds and technologies from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and foreign countries. Now, if our city wants to develop modern logistics, it can also rely on introducing foreign capital and technology. Because although the logistics industry in our city has developed rapidly in recent years, compared with the international advanced level, it is still far from meeting the requirements of modern logistics services for industrial upgrading in our city. The introduction of logistics capital, especially well-known multinational logistics enterprises, can first provide more perfect and rich modern logistics services for industrial and commercial enterprises in our city, improve the quality of economic operation and promote industrial upgrading; Second, it can speed up the popularization of modern logistics technology, enrich the types and levels of logistics services, stimulate local logistics enterprises to accelerate their learning and growth in the competition, and thus improve the overall management and service level of the logistics industry in our city; Thirdly, the supporting business environment of our city can be optimized, on the one hand, foreign-funded production enterprises can take root in Dongguan, on the other hand, the presence of large-scale logistics enterprises may drive more relevant foreign businessmen, especially production enterprises, to invest and develop in our city. At present, many international logistics suppliers are looking for partners in China in order to quickly enter the China market. Therefore, we should seize the opportunity, increase investment attraction, attract international logistics capital to invest in Dongguan, and focus on introducing large-scale projects invested by well-known logistics groups such as World Logistics 100. At the same time, guide logistics enterprises in our city to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with international counterparts, open up domestic and foreign markets, and accelerate their integration into international logistics networks.

(5) Strengthen supervision and create a standardized market order.

Due to the uneven quality of enterprise logistics, and the lack of long-term management and supervision in the logistics industry, the logistics market in our city is quite chaotic at present, and illegal operation and unfair competition occur from time to time. Some transportation enterprises reduce transportation costs and prices by overloading, using unlicensed vehicles, tax evasion and underpayment of road maintenance fees, which causes price reduction competition in the industry, creates a vicious circle, seriously disrupts market order, hinders the popularization and application of modern logistics technology, and is not conducive to the long-term development of the industry. At the same time, this unfair business behavior has long made profits at the expense of public interests, which has a certain negative impact on the overall investment environment of our city. To this end, the relevant functional departments of our city should strengthen law enforcement and supervision, guide enterprises to operate in good faith, gradually establish an industry credit system, and create a standardized and orderly market environment.
