□ 文/本刊記者 李敏軍

憑祥市人民政府和憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)管委會(huì)分別與鮮易控股、萬(wàn)邦物流、萬(wàn)國(guó)優(yōu)品等企業(yè)簽署了意向合作協(xié)議

位于中越邊境的憑祥市，往北，有高速公路連通中國(guó)內(nèi)地；往南，通過(guò)越南1號(hào)公路可直達(dá)170公里外的越南河內(nèi)，進(jìn)而通達(dá)老撾、泰國(guó)等東南亞國(guó)家。鳥瞰這座北部灣經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)內(nèi)年輕而富有活力的邊境城市，一條連接?xùn)|南亞距離最短、最為便捷的陸路國(guó)際大通道正呈現(xiàn)在眼前，助力憑祥成為“一帶一路”上一個(gè)耀眼的節(jié)點(diǎn)城市。

立足憑祥市獨(dú)特的區(qū)位優(yōu)勢(shì)，廣西憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)正在這片熱土上發(fā)光發(fā)熱，它是中國(guó)第一個(gè)與境外實(shí)現(xiàn)“直接相連”、具有跨境合作背景的綜合保稅區(qū)，擁有廣西憑祥重點(diǎn)開發(fā)開放試驗(yàn)區(qū)、中越憑祥—同登跨境經(jīng)濟(jì)合作區(qū)、憑祥邊境經(jīng)濟(jì)合作區(qū)等多個(gè)國(guó)家級(jí)平臺(tái)。依托這些平臺(tái)，憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)主動(dòng)向外走，與“一帶一路”沿線節(jié)點(diǎn)城市加強(qiáng)合作，共同打開走向東盟市場(chǎng)的新大門。

抓機(jī)遇 桂豫兩地點(diǎn)燃騰飛新引擎

順勢(shì)而為，乘勢(shì)而上。廣西憑祥、河南鄭州兩地正緊握"一帶一路"新契機(jī)，共商優(yōu)勢(shì)互補(bǔ)、合作共贏之路。

2017年6月23日，由廣西憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)管委會(huì)、憑祥市政府主辦的廣西憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)投資商機(jī)說(shuō)明會(huì)在中國(guó)河南省鄭州市舉辦。說(shuō)明會(huì)充分展現(xiàn)了憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)的政策、區(qū)位、產(chǎn)業(yè)優(yōu)勢(shì)；通過(guò)就當(dāng)?shù)仄髽I(yè)特點(diǎn)進(jìn)行分析與商機(jī)解讀，為鄭州企業(yè)打開了走向東盟市場(chǎng)的新大門，給企業(yè)提供了掘金東盟的新策略。與會(huì)嘉賓還就憑祥與鄭州的互聯(lián)互通、重點(diǎn)產(chǎn)業(yè)的對(duì)接、國(guó)際市場(chǎng)的開拓戰(zhàn)略等內(nèi)容進(jìn)行了對(duì)話。會(huì)上，憑祥市人民政府與鮮易控股簽約，憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)管委會(huì)與河南萬(wàn)邦國(guó)際農(nóng)產(chǎn)品物流有限公司、鄭州萬(wàn)國(guó)優(yōu)品跨境電子商務(wù)有限公司等企業(yè)簽署了意向合作協(xié)議。

當(dāng)前，憑祥與鄭州兩地正深度挖掘自身優(yōu)勢(shì)和資源，欲開通“鄭州經(jīng)廣西憑祥至東南亞的班列”，為兩地經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展注入新活力。

廣西憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)常務(wù)副主任、憑祥市委書記邱明宏在“鄭新歐”班列綜合服務(wù)中心考察時(shí)指出，憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)作為中國(guó)—中南半島經(jīng)濟(jì)走廊上的重要節(jié)點(diǎn)和中國(guó)—東盟陸路國(guó)際通道的樞紐，擁有與東盟實(shí)現(xiàn)互聯(lián)互通的陸路通道的優(yōu)勢(shì)，官方將調(diào)動(dòng)各方力量來(lái)推動(dòng)?xùn)|南亞班列的建設(shè)工作。

目前，“鄭新歐”班列在“一帶一路”框架下，由鄭州陸港前期規(guī)劃建設(shè)，經(jīng)阿拉山口和二連浩特兩個(gè)口岸出（入）境，途經(jīng)哈薩克斯坦、俄羅斯、白俄羅斯、波蘭、德國(guó)等國(guó)家，中途上、下貨物正呈現(xiàn)出多點(diǎn)常態(tài)化的發(fā)展態(tài)勢(shì)，已經(jīng)以中國(guó)鄭州和德國(guó)漢堡為核心初步形成雙樞紐集疏運(yùn)格局。憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)與鄭州陸港聯(lián)手合作，將實(shí)現(xiàn)中國(guó)—中南半島經(jīng)濟(jì)走廊與“一帶一路”的有機(jī)銜接。

據(jù)了解，河南承東啟西、連南貫北，是中國(guó)重要的綜合交通樞紐和物流中心，廣西沿海、沿江、沿邊，是“一帶一路”有機(jī)銜接的重要門戶，兩地長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)保持著良好合作關(guān)系，合作前景廣闊，必將共享“一帶一路”建設(shè)紅利，共同譜寫桂豫合作新篇章。

拓市場(chǎng) “黃金通道”讓企業(yè)貿(mào)易更通暢

政府搭臺(tái)，企業(yè)唱戲。廣西憑祥正在搭建一個(gè)開放的“舞臺(tái)”。5～6月期間，憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)、海關(guān)、檢驗(yàn)檢疫等部門負(fù)責(zé)人還赴重慶、江蘇昆山等地舉辦投資商機(jī)說(shuō)明會(huì)，就投資商機(jī)、海關(guān)政策、國(guó)檢政策等內(nèi)容進(jìn)行了分析解讀，助力當(dāng)?shù)仉娮印C(jī)電、食品、電商、物流等企業(yè)掘金加速“出海”。

在憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)（重慶）投資商機(jī)說(shuō)明會(huì)上，憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)管委會(huì)與重慶公路運(yùn)輸(集團(tuán))有限公司簽訂了戰(zhàn)略合作框架協(xié)議。根據(jù)協(xié)議，雙方將共同加快推進(jìn)“渝桂新”南向國(guó)際大通道建設(shè)，共同建設(shè)物流合作平臺(tái)，還將舉行“渝桂新”南向國(guó)際大通道陸路卡車班列首發(fā)儀式，擴(kuò)大“渝桂新”國(guó)際南向大通道的影響力。

在江蘇昆山，憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)也以“對(duì)接蘇桂產(chǎn)業(yè)合作需求，打造口岸經(jīng)濟(jì)新亮點(diǎn)”為主題舉辦了投資商機(jī)說(shuō)明會(huì)，為當(dāng)?shù)仄髽I(yè)解讀“一帶一路”規(guī)劃中的重要優(yōu)勢(shì)，挖掘“一帶一路”新商機(jī)。

據(jù)悉，蘇桂兩地、蘇桂與東盟之間，在經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)上具有較強(qiáng)的發(fā)展關(guān)聯(lián)性和互補(bǔ)性，各有優(yōu)勢(shì)。與憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)的密切合作，符合江蘇昆山市對(duì)自身融入“一帶一路”的定位和規(guī)劃，將有效推動(dòng)昆山與周邊地區(qū)企業(yè)面向東盟的國(guó)際化發(fā)展。

當(dāng)前，憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)在良好的區(qū)位、政策等優(yōu)勢(shì)疊加的作用下，已吸引了越來(lái)越多的企業(yè)入駐。如馬來(lái)西亞國(guó)際物流品牌捷遞(OTL)決定2017年將中國(guó)總部從深圳遷入憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)；網(wǎng)絡(luò)覆蓋國(guó)內(nèi)外沿海地區(qū)和東盟各國(guó)主要港口的大型跨國(guó)企業(yè)——深圳珉豐集裝箱服務(wù)公司，將入?yún)^(qū)建設(shè)運(yùn)營(yíng)中國(guó)—東盟陸路集裝箱物流樞紐；富士康“準(zhǔn)時(shí)達(dá)”經(jīng)多次考察，將入?yún)^(qū)建設(shè)運(yùn)營(yíng)綠色物流中心；還有以華泰國(guó)際為代表的首批進(jìn)駐企業(yè)業(yè)務(wù)也呈現(xiàn)迅速擴(kuò)張的態(tài)勢(shì)。

“憑祥的最大特點(diǎn)是‘邊’，最大優(yōu)勢(shì)是‘邊’。”邱明宏表示，借助得天獨(dú)厚的區(qū)位優(yōu)勢(shì)，有關(guān)方面力爭(zhēng)把憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)建設(shè)成廣西擴(kuò)大沿邊開放的門戶，使憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)成為崇左開放龍頭和廣西北部灣經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)開放的高地。

廣西憑祥綜合保稅區(qū)投資商機(jī)說(shuō)明會(huì)走進(jìn)重慶，當(dāng)?shù)仄髽I(yè)家對(duì)話綜保區(qū)，深入了解綜保區(qū)的區(qū)位優(yōu)勢(shì)和政策優(yōu)勢(shì)

In the 2014 Philippine Statistics Authority poverty report, the Filipino fishermen remain the poorest among the nine basic sectors.

The report said that, with 39.2-percent poverty incidence,the fishermen have been living with an average earning of P178 a day, with less to nothing to eat every day.

Despite the country’s vast aquatic and marine resources and the numerous research done by the Filipino scientific community in these areas of discipline, the country has still a long way to go to establish a stable and sustainable fishing community that would not only benefit the economy but especially the fishermen.

According to Dr. Ronald Mendoza, dean of the School of Government of the Ateneo de Manila University, during the Visayas Regional Scientific Meeting held in Cebu City on Wednesday, the conservative monetary value that the marine ecosystems should have contributed to the country’s economy is estimate at US$ 970 billion to US$ 1.5 trillion annually, roughly P 74.6 trillion. The scientific meeting was led by the Department of Science and Technology and the National Academy of Sciences and Technology.

With a huge amount of monetary value it should have contributed, the question remains: How can the Philippines promote economic and environmental sustainability with the inclusion of improving the lives of our fishermen?

Blue economy

One of the biggest marine industries in the country is in tuna. In 2003 the Philippines became the fourth-largest producer of tuna and tuna-like species in the world, yet,Filipinos have been compensated less of what they need to earn.

Records in subsequent years show the tuna sector slowly having been dubbed a “sunset industry”. Filipinos have slowly shied away from it, owing to declining catch.

“You see a multibillion-peso industry like the tuna industry and a lot of poor Filipino working in the industry,” Mendoza said during his talk as he pushed for the growth of a blue economy in the country. “These are the important figures that we must figure out on how to correct the imbalance.”

Mendoza defines “blue economy” as “a version of the green economy made relevant to seas and oceans”.

He said, “What we want out of this [blue economy] is not just the extraction [of fishes], it’s actually the sustainable management of this particular resource.”

The Philippines is the second-largest archipelagic country in the world and has the fifth-longest coastline. It is the center of marine biodiversity as it houses 70 percent of the coral triangle with more than 400 species of corals and over 2,200 species of fish.

It is the 10thcountry in the world’s top fishing nations in a 2014 report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Yet, with all these numbers, the country’s blue economy lies in a limbo.

The block along the way to blue economy growth

Mendoza said, “The economic footprint of our maritime economy is very small at this point.” Just about 3 percent of GDP and a total employment of a little over 4.35 percent are being projected in this sector. There are two main problems.

First, Mendoza said, there is not enough investment in this sector. He said scientists should not just use science and data but also use economics in communicating with politicians.“Tell them that if we invest in this sector, we can create a lot of jobs,” he said in Filipino.

Second, the country should provide solutions so that scientists could translate the outcome of their research into planning and policy. In an interview with the BusinessMirror, Mendoza said, “The main hindrance is [that despite] all our good science, we are unable to translate them into policy and action”.

He said, “We know a lot, have researched a lot, even foreign countries have already learned and picked up scientific findings from us and have made decisions out of them for their own growth”.

He added: “Those kinds of studies [are the essentials]in making an industry…. If we are able to translate this into business and in the public sector in order for them to sharpen business and policy, that’s where we are missing.”He urged the scientists: “Who will take it forward, right?That is the area where we need to do a better job —translating it more on public policy and on business strategy.”

Philippine blue economy can take the lead in Southeast Asia

“We’re not good in extracting [our resources],” Mendoza told the BusinessMirror, comparing the Philippines to other countries in Southeast Asia that have used technology to create a sustainable maritime industry. “Our neighbors have been investing in heavily protecting [their areas and resources] and managing them well,” he said.

To highlight his point, Mendoza showed two images during his talk where a Filipino boy carries a 95-kilogram (kg)tuna on his shoulders and earns only a little fraction of the sale, while Singapore is into vertical farming of crabs and selling it at a high price of US$ 35/kg.

The use of technology has been a great benefit to countries who have used these to their advantage. Technologies, such as drone and growing marine resources in condominiums through vertical farming, are sustainable.

Mendoza recommended that the Philippines needs to exert more effort to catch less fish, and use the research to attain optimum productivity.

“Technology can improve our efficiency and also our ability to sustain our resource better if we only know how to use it,” he said.

Mendoza told the BusinessMirror the Philippines can always take the lead in terms of blue economy since the country has the advantage.

“Space is not a problem nor are the resources because the coral triangle [which area the Philippines occupies 70 percent] is there with us. This should be at the core of our national development plan.”

“We are not that far,” Mendoza said, emphasizing the innovativeness of Filipinos. “This is more of a challenge for collective action on our part and clear planning and foresight — not just for six years but 50 years.”

Stressing the need for collective action, Mendoza said, “If we don’t do the right thing, we will be left behind.”

He said there is a lot of room for improvement and Filipinos need to realize the amount of work it carries.
