Manzhouli, according to customs statistics, the first 11 months of this year, Manzhouli port's exports to Russia amount of flat glass price Yang, a total of 7,685,000 square meters flat glass exports, fell 18.3 percent year-on-year; the value of 24,280,000 U.S. dollars, an increase of 1.7 percent; the average export price of 3.2 U.S. dollars / sq m, up 24.6 percent.

It is understood that the drop in exports of flat glass for two main reasons: First, the country's flat glass to reduce the export tax rebate rate, the macro-control measures to show results. Flat Glass is a typical high-energy high-pollution products, in recent years to curb the excessive growth of exports of flat glass, glass twice the national export policy, in September 15, 2006 its export tax rebate rate of 13% to 11% in July 1, 2007 its export tax rebate from 115 down to 5%, a series of control measures, resulting in flat glass exports decline. Second, the rise in the cost of production and exports of flat glass to make the yuan revaluation to reduce profits. In the first half of 2008 accounted for the largest share of the cost of producing flat glass of soda ash and fuel prices nearly double the growth rate.

The industry believes that the flat glass production in China there are 4 aspects: First, the rapid expansion of production capacity. In recent years, the continuous expansion of China's flat glass industry, overcapacity, oversupply of domestic pressure, will export a certain degree of rebound. Second, high energy consumption, heavy pollution. Compared with foreign advanced level, China's flat glass manufacturing resources, energy consumption, heavy pollution, technology, equipment and the low level of environmental protection, increased domestic energy consumption and environmental protection. Third, unreasonable product structure. At present, low value-added products, flat glass, float glass supply exceeded demand in some of the special purpose of high-grade varieties still rely heavily on import. Fourth, low industrial concentration. The number of enterprises, small scale industry M & A formidable task, poor corporate self-development capacity, less innovative products, increase the profits of the channel to be discovered, the high dependence on export tax rebates.
