The export volume reached US$2.319 billion, up by 10.5%, the biggest increase in Ningbo and 8% higher than the average increase of the whole city.

Foreign trade enterprises in the district took active part in exhibitions to develop new markets by taking advantage of the supporting policies.

The opening ceremony of the Heritage Studio for Craft Masters was held in Ningbo Polytechnic on November 25. Thirteen craft masters in Ningbo were invited to attend the ceremony, and four of them (including Chen Ai'e, color embroidery master, Guo Lingmei, sachet-making master, Hu Peifen, straw-hat making master and Zhu Yingdu, lime-carving master) signed agreements with the college to settle down in the studio.
It is said that the establishment of the studio will contribute directly to the flourishing of folk crafts and skills in the college. By taking college students as disciples, the masters can pass down their secrets and skills that have been accumulated in their life-long practices and contribute to the education and development of a group of blue-collar talents that are good at solving technical problems.
