The Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) was signed. Lin Qingming, chairman of the Taiwan Association of Stone and Mineral Products Industry, said that the stone processing industry has been listed by the government as a vulnerable industry, allowing the industry to obtain a 10-year buffer time and continue to invest.
Chen Futai, director general of the Taiwan Association of Stone and Mineral Products Industry, pointed out that the stone processing industry is an important industry of Hualien. It has created many economic vitality and employment market for Hualien, but due to the competition of mainland manufactured goods and the influence of mainland smuggled goods, In recent years, it has been hit hard, and the industry has paid special attention to the government's move to sign the ECFA.
"The stone processing industry has already reflected this issue to the government very early. I hope the government can face up to the fact that when negotiating the ECFA early receipt list, it can block the mainland stone processing products from entering the Taiwan market." Chen Futai said that if the open stone products enter Taiwan, Taiwan The industry has almost no ability to survive.
Lin Qingming, who has been operating stone processing plants for decades, is quite familiar with the development of cross-strait stone processing industry. He said that Taiwan's stone processing industry lacks raw materials, more than 60% of raw materials come from the mainland, Taiwan is only a processing base, and production costs are rising, while mainland raw materials are easy to obtain, labor and other low costs, Taiwan's competitive advantage is severely eroded. .
"If the mainland's stone processing products enter Taiwan, the Taiwanese industry will probably die." Lin Qingming said that at this stage, it is indeed inappropriate to open up mainland products into Taiwan. The industry has already reflected to the government three years ago, and the government accepts The industry commented that the stone processing industry was included in the list of vulnerable industries, allowing the industry to obtain a 10-year buffer time.
The help of the 10-year breathing space is big, Lin Qingming said, allowing the industry to have the willingness to continue investing, but the problems of mainland smuggled goods and labor acquisition are still to be resolved by the government.
Lin Qingming said that the current operating rate of the stone processing industry is only 60%. The main reason is that the mainland smuggled goods and severely hit the living space of the industry. Many operators were forced to remove the equipment and transferred to the mainland, Thailand and Malaysia. Now Hualien’s equipment is only Half left.
Lin Qingming said that if the government strictly checks the ban on mainland smuggled goods, the Taiwanese industry can produce all-round, and the employment opportunity is estimated to increase by 30%; otherwise, the Taiwanese industry will feel "stunned" and there will be no new investment.
The stone processing industry still feels quite troubled by the old problems of the labor force. Lin Qingming said that Taiwanese workers suspect that the work of stone processing is too heavy and they are not willing to come to work. For example, in the employment fair held in Hualien in May this year, many Taiwanese workers registered for employment, but they barely walked in less than a week. .
“It’s not that the industry likes to use foreign workers, but the domestic workers are not willing to come.†Lin Qingming said that in fact, stone processing is not as hard as before. Nowadays, heavy work has been replaced by spreaders. Labor is only operating machines, and the working environment Health and safety conditions have been greatly improved; foreign workers are also people. If the working environment is really so bad, there will be no foreign workers willing to do it.
Lin Qingming believes that the government's unemployment subsidy measures should strengthen the concept of educating domestic workers to change the selection work, and relax the proportion of foreign workers employed by foreign workers. Otherwise, the domestic workers are unwilling to come, and the number of foreign workers is reduced, and the industry will not dare to invest again.
“The government’s signing of ECFA is tantamount to letting the stone processing industry eat the reassurance.†Lin Qingming said that looking at the world market, the stone industry in Spain and Italy is in a recession, which is very beneficial to Taiwan. How to continue the Taiwanese industry in this 10-year buffer time Development requires the full assistance of the government.
