When Will China'S Linen Spinning Industry Self Reliant?

On the freeway to TaiYuan Railway Station in Jinzhong, Shanxi, Xu Jixiang, President of the China Textile Industry Association, who had just finished the national new spinning academic exchange meeting in Beijing, was sitting in the car.

The content of the call is that the China Linen Textile Association will hold a "high quality raw material base on-site meeting" in Zhaotong, Yunnan in June.

"We will invite the relevant leaders of the Ministry of agriculture and the Ministry of industry and commerce to participate in this meeting, so that the government can understand the status quo of the linen textile industry and strive for the support of national policies."

President Xu told the accompanying reporters.

Don't be smart eyed.

This year, affected by the further fermentation of the European debt crisis, the world economy is slowing down and the demand for the international market is not strong.

Affected by this, China's textile and clothing is facing more severe situation.

Because of the influence of season and industry characteristics, the economic operation data of the linen textile industry are pretty good.

According to customs statistics, the total export volume of China's Hemp products (including hemp garments and garments) was 21 billion 157 million US dollars in 1~12 months in 2011, which is 50.47% higher than that in 2010.

This indicates that the demand for linen, linen, linen and clothing, especially linen garments and garments is strong, and exports are increasing significantly.

"The customs data is beautiful and can not obscure the deep-seated problems in the linen textile industry," Dong Chunxing, Secretary General of the China Textile Industry Association, told reporters. "The economic operation of the linen textile industry is generally in the" V shape "trend.

The export data of customs statistics, most of them are hemp clothing and apparel products. If we exclude this part, the export amount of raw materials, yarns and fabrics is very small, probably only billions of dollars.

The production of hemp yarns and garments in China is mainly exported to countries such as Europe, America and Southeast Asia, and most of the raw materials are mainly imported.

Take flax as an example, 70%~80% needs to be imported from abroad.

In particular, high quality raw materials such as flax and jute almost all depend on imports.

In 2011, the import volume of flax fiber and staple fiber was 144 thousand and 300 tons, an increase of 1.51% over the same period, with a total import value of US $347 million, an increase of 47.79% over the same period last year.

The industrial structure of both ends has been a bottleneck restricting the development of China's Hemp textile industry.

The more serious problem is that on the one hand, the import dependence of high-quality raw materials such as linen and jute is large. On the other hand, the domestic planting area has been shrinking continuously, which has aggravated the difficulties of the industry.

Take flax as an example, at present, the base for planting flax in China is only distributed in a few areas such as Heilongjiang, Xinjiang and Yunnan. For example, the flax planting area in Yunnan has tens of thousands of mu, but the raw material grade is low and the number of branches is coarse.

Moreover, these planting bases are mostly funded and operated by enterprises. There are few bases for investment and construction by the state.

These factors have caused no substantial change in the import of flax raw materials in China for many years.

Firmly developing the domestic demand market

Faced with the uncertainty of the international market, efforts to develop the domestic market of hemp and actively expand the planting area of raw materials have become the two best tools to solve the current dilemma of the linen textile industry.

Some market oriented spun spinning enterprises have taken the lead in opening up the industry pattern, establishing the north south passage, extending capital tentacles to the upstream and downstream industries chain, and trying to find market opportunities.

Zhejiang Jinying stock (600232) Limited has been actively adjusting its industrial structure in recent years. Under the leading domestic market of new silk spinning, linen spinning, ramie spinning, wool spinning equipment and automatic reeling equipment, through the establishment of flax production base in Xinjiang and the largest 73 thousand spindles flax plant in the country, the market extension to the upstream industry chain has been extended.

Wang Fengping, general manager of Zhejiang Golden Eagle special yarn Co. Ltd., told reporters that the strategy of golden eagle is to make use of the advantage of capital market to expand and cross regional development through mergers, acquisitions and restructuring.

With the introduction of high technology or the advantage of further processing of the main products, the strategic adjustment of the east to west and the south of the north to the South should be carried out in order to achieve the integration of industrial capital and financial capital.

China's Ma textile industry is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, and its ability to fight risks is weak.

The cultivation of bast fiber is related to the interests of the farmers. How to make the farmers enjoy the same subsidy treatment for the grain farmers' grain production requires the understanding and cooperation of many departments in the country.

"It is hoped that the state will introduce relevant policies as soon as possible, protect the interests of agriculture, support the linen textile industry and promote the healthy development of the industry". Whether the appeal, which is often hung on the lips of President Xu Jixiang, can be attached importance to or even implemented by relevant departments? It is also one of the themes of this Yunnan Zhaotong conference.

If we can get the support from the country and the efforts of all sectors of the industry, China's linen textile industry will surely develop better, and it will not be too far to achieve the goal of throwing away the import burden of the hemp industry.
