Located in the southern part of Linyi City, Shandong Province, Tancheng County is known for its diverse range of export products, particularly intangible cultural heritage items like wickerwork, erhu (Chinese fiddle), and wooden spinning toys, which are celebrated for their cultural charm and quality. As the export market grows, pet products have also become a significant export category.
The "Pet Economy" has grown significantly due to the increasing emotional bonds between people and their pets. Rising pet ownership standards have led to a surge in demand for high-quality products that meet pets' needs, making pet product exports a booming industry. Tancheng County has successfully combined local intangible cultural heritage products with pet supplies, contributing to steady growth in pet product exports.
Linyi Meide Craft Co., Ltd., based in Miaoshan Town, Tancheng County, exemplifies entrepreneurial success. Originally focused on wicker household items, the company shifted to pet products, creating innovative wicker pet beds, cat ramps, and artistic storage bags. These products have gained markets in the United States, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and more.
With the global economic recovery and the resurgence of international trade, Tancheng County's pet products and wickerwork show strong export potential. These promising items are expected to expand into overseas markets, boosting the county's economic development.
