Among them, the number of private enterprises exceeded 9000 for the first time, an increase of 14.8% year-on-year

On January 19th, the reporter learned from Chengdu Customs that by 2025, the total import and export value of goods trade in Sichuan will reach 1.03181 trillion yuan, ranking eighth in the country. Among them, exports amounted to 608.65 billion yuan and imports amounted to 423.16 billion yuan. The number of foreign trade entities has exceeded 10000 for the first time. So far, Sichuan's exports have exceeded 600 billion yuan for four consecutive years, and imports have remained above 400 billion yuan for two consecutive years.
The achievements are hard won. In order to fully cope with the impact of international economic and trade frictions, at the beginning of 2025, multiple departments in Sichuan will guide enterprises to actively "grab exports" and prepare goods in advance. Leading enterprises focus on production, catch up with progress, deliver orders in advance, and effectively stabilize the scale of imports and exports. The provincial party committee and government have continuously introduced policies and implemented comprehensive measures to assist foreign trade enterprises in smoothly conducting business.
After the Spring Festival, the Provincial Department of Commerce, together with financial institutions, issued the "New 8 Measures" for stabilizing foreign trade in finance, expanding the credit limit from 50 billion yuan to 80 billion yuan, while strengthening the full chain support for outward oriented industries and financial support for small and medium-sized enterprises. In February, Chengdu Customs issued 18 measures to optimize the business environment at ports, addressing the pain points in the development of foreign trade enterprises. In April, the Sichuan Province Foreign Trade Enterprise Service Special Team issued the "9 Measures" to stabilize foreign trade, helping enterprises maintain market share, reduce operating costs, and innovate business models. In September, the "100 day Campaign to Stabilize Foreign Trade" was launched, and the foreign trade enterprise service team linked up with cities and prefectures within the province to refine and implement a series of measures to stabilize foreign trade. At the end of 2025, a new round of policies and measures to expand opening up will be introduced. Policy tools provide strong support for the province to achieve a year-on-year growth rate of 3.6% in the first three quarters, becoming the sixth consecutive quarter of positive export growth since the second quarter of 2024.
Since 2025, Sichuan has continued to deepen the cultivation of foreign trade entities. Focusing on the six major advantageous industries and future industries in the province, the Provincial Department of Commerce will carry out training on foreign trade subject business under the theme of "Leading 100 Enterprises and Upgrading 1000 Enterprises" by industry. There are 10329 enterprises with import and export performance in the province, an increase of 13.8% year-on-year, and the annual number has exceeded 10000 for the first time, setting a new historical high. Among them, the number of private enterprises exceeded 9000 for the first time, an increase of 14.8% year-on-year. In conjunction with the "Chuanxing Tianxia" campaign to support enterprises in expanding their international markets in 2025, a total of 2066 companies were organized to participate in 99 exhibitions in the first 11 months of 2025, signing intention orders exceeding 30.76 billion yuan, with double-digit growth achieved in emerging markets such as Russia, West Asia, and Central Asia.
It is worth mentioning that Sichuan will introduce a special plan for the integration of trade and industry development for the first time in 2025. Among them, in response to the contradiction of "having production capacity but lacking orders", we will accelerate the construction of a normalized information docking mechanism between trade platforms and production enterprises, so that "Made in Sichuan" can more accurately connect with international and domestic market demand. In 2025, the import and export of mechanical and electrical products in Sichuan reached 820.12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2%. Among them, the export of "new three types" products reached a historical high of 33.77 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 69.4%; The import and export of agricultural products reached 30.95 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15%, with 15 types of agricultural products achieving their first export; Baijiu and sturgeon caviar were exported to 830 million yuan and 120 million yuan respectively, up 10.7% and 21.1% year on year; Fresh shrimp and frozen salmon were imported for 2.35 billion yuan and 1.6 billion yuan respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 57.7% and 34.5%, respectively. The construction of national distribution centers for individual products has achieved significant results.
The channel platform is constantly upgrading and expanding its capacity. In 2025, the import and export of goods through Chengdu Air Port exceeded 700 billion yuan for the first time, accounting for 8.6% of the national air transportation, an increase of 0.6 percentage points in proportion. The import and export of Chengdu High tech Comprehensive Bonded Zone reached 525.69 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%, and the scale of foreign trade continued to maintain the first place in the national comprehensive bonded zone.
