The market monitoring data of the Shanghai Stone Circulation Industry Association shows that in June 2003, the freight rate of imported granite was 54 US dollars/ton, and the freight rate in December 2003 was 105 US dollars/ton; by the end of February 2004, the quotation had reached US$54/ton. It is 120 US dollars per ton, and it is in a state of "prices but no market". At the same time, the four major shipping companies in the Port of Vitoria, Brazil established labor unions to use local policies to monopolize port operations, and freight companies from other countries could not dock and undertake business. The situation in the ports of South Africa, India and other countries is very similar, causing a large amount of granite to accumulate in the ports and cannot be shipped out. In January and February 2004, less than 30,000 tons of granite were shipped from Brazil to my country's mainland, while the arrival volume in the same period in 2003 was 300,000 tons. It is estimated that in June this year, the freight rate of imported gravestone granite stone will reach 150 US dollars per ton. Due to the increase in freight prices, the price of imported granite blocks in Xiamen, Shuitou, Fujian and other places has risen by 200 yuan per ton since March.

　　On the other hand, Dongcheng, Kangli, Gaoshi, Global, Shanghai Taxing and Huizhong, which are known as the "four kings" of China's stone industry, had an inventory of about 500,000 tons at the end of 2003, with an average monthly consumption. 120,000 tons. Due to the support of this part of the inventory, from January to February 2004, the market price of domestic imported gravestone granite stone basically remained at the original level, with an average price of 340 yuan per square meter. But by March, the CIF price of Shanghai imported gravestone granite stone plus the necessary processing and transportation costs, the price of the converted plate has reached 355 yuan per square meter, and the phenomenon of cost and price inverted, and the source of goods shipped to my country and the domestic market Inventory of the company is dwindling, and price increases are almost inevitable.

　　Experts suggest that in response to the recent fluctuations in the price of imported stone, the domestic stone industry association should strengthen communication and negotiation with the main producing stone and freight trade associations, and government departments, and strive for the intervention of large domestic freight companies such as COSCO, stabilize the supply of goods, stabilize the freight rate, and prevent imported stone Prices have seen a "panic" explosion. It is reported that the Shanghai Stone Circulation Industry Association has established a daily inventory, price and market supply notification system with large domestic imported granite enterprises to closely monitor market trends.
