祝贺第121届广交会隆重召开：拓宽甘肃开放经济发展新空间——甘肃省商务厅副厅长马琨
广交会作为我国对外开放的重要窗口和企业进入国际市场的重要平台，60年来风雨兼程，谱写了中国外贸改革开放的发展历史。在第121届广交会召开之际，甘肃省商务厅组成近85家企业的甘肃交易团，汇聚甘肃省内优质特色商品，借助广交会大平台，拓展外贸发展的新空间，拓宽产业市场新天地。
在国家“一带一路”倡议等开放战略政策的推动下，昔日地处内陆腹地甘肃，积极适应国际市场新变化，利用国内国际两个市场两种资源，把“引进来”和“走出去”紧密结合，充分发挥区位、资源、产业、政策等叠加优势，深入推进供给侧结构性改革，不断深化对外开放，以开放促改革、以改革促创新，逐步成为中国向西开放的前沿省份。2016年，全省的对外开放工作迈出新步伐，甘肃与“一带一路”沿线国家贸易额突破100亿元，同比增长10％，占全省进出口总额的23％。
甘肃利用广交会平台力量带动了全省经济整体发展，对外贸易、利用外资、经济技术合作呈现出快速增长的发展势头，特别是在国际市场和国内市场不确定因素的影响下，广交会平台有机地发挥了育新优势，为甘肃省内中小微外贸企业创建了稳定的市场渠道，开拓了新兴市场，新客户、新订单带动了全省外贸队伍的不断壮大，截至2016年底，全省具有外贸经营资质的企业达到3709家，贸易国达到130个国家，实现了进出口多元化的新格局。
依托开放提升制造业竞争新优势
甘肃是中国石化制造业的摇篮，在戈壁腹地，祁连山下，坐落着中国石油工业的骄子——玉门油田，这里诞生了新中国第一口油井、第一个油田、第一个石化基地。
随着甘肃石化工业的发展，不仅培育了中国兰州石化产业，而且孕育出被誉为“甘肃工业的基石”、“中国石化机械的摇篮和脊梁”、“装备中国功勋企业”的兰州兰石集团有限公司，一批叫得响的制造业撑起了甘肃开放型经济的“半壁江山”，金川集团、酒钢公司、白银公司、甘肃长城电工、华天电子、天水海林、兰州电机、佛慈制药、兰州方大碳素等成为推动外贸进出口的主力军，有力地支撑着甘肃的产业发展。
伴随着全省抓项目和开放经济的进一步推进，甘肃凸显了装备制造业的优势，石油化工机械、风电装备、电工电缆、农机设备制造、新型工业材料、有色金属冶炼厚积薄发，成为甘肃经济发展的支柱产业，同时，兰州新区与兰白经济圈、经济开发区的辐射带动，兰州市装备制造业成为全省工业的重点产业的集聚地，已形成了以石油化工机械、通用机械制造、电工电器、仪器仪表等为主体，门类比较齐全、基础比较雄厚、具有较强实力的装备制造业工业体系。截至2016年底，兰州市装备制造业规模以上企业68户，占兰州市规模以上企业的19.1%，占全省装备制造业的42.6%。2016年，兰州市装备制造业完成工业产值340亿元，占全省装备制造业的47.1%。目前，高端装备制造业在全市装备制造业中的占比达到60%。
随着供给侧改革的不断深入，以甘肃新能源为产业的装备制造业、新材料制造、农机设备跟农业滴灌设备都实现了出口，葡萄酒产业作为生态发展的绿色商品也加入了工业化的进程，甘肃的冰葡萄酒实现了出口。从国外引进的滴灌技术经过改进也实现了大规模的出口，随着“一带一路”的发展，甘肃的装备制造业产品在拓展新兴市场中一批新产品新技术广泛得到应用，兰州科天环保、大禹节水集团、兰州林美克机械制造、兰州鹏飞保温隔热、甘肃康诚德工业品等企业逐步“走出去”拓展了中西亚市场，有效的激活了甘肃制造业的活力，增强了外贸的后劲，为开放注入了新的动力。
在外向型经济的强力推动下，甘肃的兰州铁路口岸和陆港建设、兰州新区综合保税区建设迈出了新的步伐，一批外向型经济落户兰州新区和省内开发区，甘肃的国际空港和陆港为“走西口”创造了捷径，提供了贸易的便利，降低了货物的成本，“兰州号”“天马号”“嘉峪关号”等国际货运班列的开通把甘肃大通道变为了物流集散地的枢纽中心，国际货物每周实现一至两列的常态化运行，为甘肃开放经济创造了良好的发展新空间，奠定了甘肃货物“走西口”“下南亚”的竞争新优势。
依托国际市场提升绿色产业的新天地
“农”为天下之本。对于甘肃这个典型的农业大省来讲，重农固本一直是外贸发展的重中之重，2016年，全省粮食生产再获丰收，总产达到1140万吨，连续五年稳定在1100万吨以上，这些优势较大幅度提升了主要农产品安全保障水平。由于甘肃具有独特的地貌及气候特征，孕育了优质丰富的特色农产品出口贸易，全省农产品进出口额超过了30多亿元，其中，鲜苹果增速最大，同比增长达到35%以上，另外大宗商品出口品种有蕃茄酱、蔬菜种子、杂豆、肠衣出口、柠檬酸、干酪素、苹果汁等。
甘肃农业资源丰富，产业优势明显，出口潜力巨大，全省已形成了覆盖全省的中部、西部和东南部区域性的农产品外贸转型升级基地，这些优势的产业涵盖了洋葱、苹果、马铃薯、番茄、中药材、高原夏菜等六大板块。随着甘肃农产品出口规模不断扩大，农业、林果业、畜牧业成为带动一方经济支柱产业。甘肃外贸下功夫在农字头上做文章，目前已形成了有规模出口品种达到120余个，一批加工出口系列的优势产业脱颖而出。
兰州的百合、玫瑰、瓜果享誉世界，并且这几年最新挖掘出一些具有竞争优势的软儿梨、牡丹花卉等系列的加工产品，定西的马铃薯通过出口身价倍增，产业链已延伸到淀粉、薯条，品种多达十几个，兰州牛肉拉面也成为出口的商品，碗装牛肉面与各式手工拉面成为兰州拉面出口的餐饮品牌。
黄土地造就了甘肃差异化的农产品生长的土壤，静宁的苹果后来居上，短短的十几年来出口额达到2亿多元，在平凉、庆阳、天水形成了有机的农业产业链。
目前，甘肃有机农产品进出口重点企业112家，中医药及生物制药龙头企业20余家，其中鲜苹果、苹果汁、南瓜籽、番茄酱、蔬菜花卉种子、小杂粮、党参、黄芪、当归等大宗中医药产品在国际市场享有一定的知名度。
甘肃省河西走廊是内陆河地区，从祁连山上融化的冰川雪水纯净无任何污染，干燥的气候使得病虫害极少，被誉为生态有机产业的天然粮库，这里生长的高原夏菜、鲜食葡萄、酿酒葡萄、洋葱、啤酒大麦、啤酒花、黑瓜子、葵花籽、番茄、制种业产品，由于品质上乘，影响力不断增强；出产的番茄，单产高，可溶性固形物和番茄红素含量足，极适于高品质番茄酱的加工。目前番茄酱出口俄罗斯、美国、欧洲、中东等国家和地区；甘肃张掖、酒泉两地有脱水蔬菜生产企业100多家，产品连续多年抽检合格率达到99%以上，远销欧美、日本、韩国、中亚等国家和地区；河西地区具有得天独厚的制种条件，已建立种子出口生产企业14家，玉米种子占全国总量的50%以上，蔬菜种子、花卉种子出口荷兰、法国、美国、日本、韩国等国家和地区。甘肃河西地区还是酿酒葡萄最佳种植生态区，葡萄酒生产及配套企业13家，产能达到15万吨，莫高、紫轩、祁连产品市场辐射全国31个省区市和日本、韩国、马来西亚等国家及香港、台湾等地区。
甘肃中医药材资源和种植面积均在全国前列。黄芪、当归、党参、大黄、甘草并称陇药五朵金花，在国内外久负盛名。甘肃中药材种植面积388万亩、产量99万吨，均居全国第一。运销网络遍及全国各地及台湾、新加坡、马来西亚、日本、韩国及欧美等国际市场。
近年来，甘肃将农业标准化和市场追溯体系工作紧贴农业增效、农民增收，以发挥区域优势，发展特色农业为重点，实现农产品从农田到餐桌全过程监管，提供了有力的技术保障。
截至目前，批准发布实施的农业地方标准1800余项，形成了覆盖全省大宗农产品、特色农产品、无公害农产品、绿色农产品和有机食品的农业标准体系。40种产品获得国家地理标志保护产品，90种农产品及初加工产品被评为甘肃名牌产品。天祝白牦牛地标产品入选中欧互认清单。
在新常态背景下，开放型经济发展正进入一个增长动力重构和发展方式转换的新阶段。2016年省政府出台《甘肃省“十三五”开放型经济发展规划》，再次强力推进全省开放型经济发展，对工业、农业、服务业以及社会管理、公共服务、工程建设、循环经济和环境保护的标准化、信息化、追溯体系建设都提出了更高要求。开放经济发展正在融入全省经济社会生活的各个层面，外向型经济已经进入了多维度、广覆盖的外贸“大标准”时代。
为此，在第121届广交会开幕之际，甘肃交易团将迎难而上，创新办展办会新思路、新方式，发挥全省经济的牵引力作用，依托全省特色产业资源优势和出口潜力，让甘肃省内更多的特色产业走出去，推动开放型经济发展的新动能。
