Outlook brightens for small Delta exporters

Business will continue to improve for small and medium-sized exporters in the Pearl River Delta in the months ahead on the strength of increased seasonal demand from overseas buyers, an industry report said on Tuesday.

Export orders for Delta companies increased "significantly" in September, according to Shenzhen Onetouch Business Service Co, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. The report was based on a survey of 2,000 exporters.

As a result, exporters' confidence improved, with the trade climate index reaching 105.42, the highest level this year.
