Logistics Park is still an important strategic position

Logistics Park concept is introduced from Germany, Japan and other logistics more developed countries, our country has developed rapidly in recent years, has become a hot area of investment. Experience of developed countries shows that the value of the logistics park is mainly reflected in two aspects: First, the formation of logistics distribution hub, can promote the integration of resources, improve resource utilization, and by Public Service and Public Administration of the park, standardize the market; second, as logistics network node, through rational distribution, enabling the promotion of national or regional logistics network optimization, and receive increase efficiency and reduce the cost of efficiency. Therefore, the construction of logistics parks system for the development of the logistics industry is the basic building, rational integration of resources and market network layout and evaluation of logistics parks has become the two most important elements of success.

From our practice, in recent years, the construction of logistics parks has entered a period of rapid growth, in promoting the development of the logistics industry has played an important role in the future of the logistics industry transformation and upgrading, construction of logistics parks is still in an important strategic position. But there have been many problems, some even quite serious and must be taken seriously, the idea to find a solution. One of the most prominent problems are the following three points:
First, a considerable number of parks in the integration of resources, efficiency is not high. Performance in the area of ??large and small actual operating area, some park covers an area of ??several square kilometers, even tens of kilometers, the result is not idle land resources, is used for other purposes; some operators failed to achieve the intended effect of logistics distribution formed idle resources.
Second, serious homogeneity competition, competition between the park more than cooperation, interconnection of logistics network system slowly. Although the government released a national logistics park development plan, also developed a number of guiding logistics park construction of national standards, but because of the land, taxation and other territorial management system, the integrity of the park layout is difficult to achieve, collaboration and cooperation between the park is also very difficult.
Third, oversupply and structural imbalances coexist. Resource utilization point of view from the park, showing the overall characteristics of the oversupply, but still some areas due to high cost of land, logistics parks tax rate of return is not high, and therefore not taken seriously constrained the local logistics and economic development.

These problems the industry as the park chaos, is prevalent throughout, affecting the rational distribution of the park distribution function and overall network. To solve these problems, generally considered the need to strengthen the government of unified planning and management to resolve. However, we note that there has been no similar chaos in Germany, Japan and other countries, why not?
After the comparative analysis shows that some of the basic reasons, chief among them may be three:
First, from the supply side, the land resources of all government monopoly, it has almost all of the park behind the shadow of government support, construction of the park is in fact reflected in all levels of government and even some of the leadership for the logistics of understanding or decision for logistics market demand is not clear. Most of the park's construction is actually a supply-oriented, namely land, transport facilities, geographical advantages as the main basis for construction of the park, the first building after the investment. So the logistics park to be treated as real estate projects, is a direct tax is based.
The second is from the demand point of view, demand is not from the logistics park investment market, in fact, been replaced by the demand for capital appreciation, it is now difficult to distinguish the differences and boundaries of general real estate projects and the Logistics Park. As China's national conditions and densely populated, and all the opportunity to acquire the land, regardless of the logistics park, the development zone, business park, technology park, will be the formation of various land chaos. Past experience shows that ten times the land appreciation benefits far exceed the real economy, a hundred times, so the access to land has become the main target, as the integration of value and rational distribution of resources is treated as a guise and signs.
Third, the competition caused by the tax system of local interests, influence the formation of a unified market. National, provincial, city, county, township were built logistics parks, it is difficult to coordinate their interests, it is difficult to form a network system, centralized tax system because a large network can not break through. Idle resources is inevitable.

It seems the root of the problem, in fact, suited to the market between land supply and demand for investment of government control, combined with the tax system of the single market segmentation, resulting in conflicts today, for our future direction of reform prompted. This involves the institutional basis underlying land and the tax system, etc., it seems difficult to have a fundamental solution in the short term. However, some improvements can still take measures that in the existing basic institutional, reduce direct government intervention, and increasing the role of market mechanisms. This proposal:
First, the implementation of the lease of park land usage. This not only can reduce logistics park property assets, inhibiting investment needs depend on the appreciation of land, but also reduce the investment cost the park, help to reduce social logistics costs, but also reduce the urge governments rely on land finance. Government regulation of industrial layout can be achieved through the rent, and to do fine-tuning. If the real property rights of land policy, is bound to consider the rent.
Second, regulate the land transfer process, especially for the park project in the will and opaque, unfair to establish a new system, strengthen supervision and auditing, and improve accountability.
Third, the government focus on supporting livelihood-related logistics park, can provide low-cost or even free land, but at the same time to strict supervision, accelerate the transformation of food, medicine, hazardous chemicals and other logistics network layout and the whole process of supervision. Such parks in key Germany, Japan and other countries are also government support, with the support of regulatory change, the effect is significant.
More than a few favors the formation of relatively stable policy environment. Practice has proved that the policy environment is relatively stable, it will focus on corporate and capital markets; changing policy environment, business and capital will focus on the government, the market mechanism fails, the market-oriented reform has become an empty word.
