The Development Of Cotton Textile Industry Is Facing Bottlenecks.

Right now. Cotton textile industry In the traditional peak season, however, the whole market seems to be abnormal, especially in cotton imports. Statistics from Qingdao customs showed that Shandong Port imported 1 million 458 thousand tons of cotton in the first 11 months of 2013, a decrease of 14.5% compared to the same period last year; the value of 2 billion 950 million cotton imports decreased by 24.6%; the average import price was 2022 US dollars per ton, down 11.9%. Behind the decline of cotton import and export prices, it reflects the embarrassing predicament of the cotton textile industry.

Since 2013, with the continuous upgrading and structural adjustment of the cotton textile industry, the capacity of China's textile industry has been concentrated more on large enterprises, and many small and medium enterprises are under great pressure to survive. After October, the main cotton textile enterprises will celebrate the peak of holiday orders. However, since the 4 quarter of 2013, the downstream demand for cotton yarn and cloth has been relatively plain. Most of the enterprises' orders can only satisfy the daily operation, so there is no desire to hoard cotton. In addition, in 2013, the time of India cotton listing was delayed by nearly one month, so many enterprises expect cotton prices to decline after the India cotton concentrated listing from the end of 11 to the beginning of December.

In addition, the import of cotton yarn has increased rapidly. Imported cotton Forming an alternative is also an important factor leading to the slump of import cotton prices. It is understood that compared with other countries such as South Asia and Southeast Asia, the price of cotton in China is 4000 yuan to 5000 yuan per ton, and cotton yarn price is more than 1000 yuan per ton. Because of the quota control of cotton imports in China, many cotton enterprises purchase a lot of cheap cotton yarn abroad instead of cotton. A large number of cheap cotton yarn poured into the domestic market, and again suppressed domestic cotton prices. The latest round of selling of domestic cotton reserves is very cold.

"The main reason for the fall of the current cotton import price in China is: first, the atmosphere of the textile enterprises wait-and-see is strong. If the cotton purchase and storage policy is abolished in 2014, the domestic cotton price is expected to decline. Secondly, cotton yarn is not strictly controlled by quota restrictions, and the impact on cotton will increase. Third, the development of domestic garment industry is not optimistic, and the demand for clothing market is reduced, which will have a greater impact on the market demand of upstream raw materials." Zhu Qinghua, a light industry researcher at CIC, said in an interview.

Many industry insiders say that the main reason for the current cotton textile industry's recession is cotton policy. The implementation of the cotton policy has a great impact on China's spinning enterprises. It not only makes China's yarn products gradually lose competitiveness, but also causes the continuous increase of imported yarn. Data show that the first three quarters of 2013, China's cotton yarn imports amounted to 1 million 568 thousand tons, an increase of 44% over the same period, 1 to September cumulative export cotton yarn 397 thousand tons, an increase of 22% over the same period last year. The import of cotton yarn continued in 2012.

In this regard, Zhu Qinghua believes that China's cotton purchase and storage policy and quota control policy makes domestic cotton prices remain high, and domestic cotton sales are poor. In addition, it is closely related to the development of downstream garment industry. At present, the clothing industry is still lingering low, and the recession of cotton textile industry is inevitable. After the clothing industry gets warmer, China's cotton textile industry will also recover.

Now, the cotton problem has become a hot topic in the cotton spinning industry. It is also an unavoidable hot issue in the development of the industry. As a textile raw material, the economic status of cotton is very significant. It affects the production and trade of global textile and clothing, and even relates to the development process of global industry. China's trial of cotton temporary storage and storage system for more than 3 years has objectively resulted in a high price difference inside and outside cotton, which has a great impact on the development of cotton textile industry in China. Recently, the relevant departments such as the Ministry of agriculture and China Textile Industry Federation have disclosed to the outside world the direction of the reform of canceling cotton purchase and storage and adopting the national direct subsidy. Basically, the 2014/2015 cotton season is basically determined. China's temporary cotton purchase and storage policy will no longer be implemented, and the pilot project of direct subsidy will be implemented in Xinjiang. We hope that we can really benefit the cotton farmers and form a reasonable market mechanism.

　　 Zhu Qing Hua It is said that the cotton purchase and storage system is actually designed to protect farmers' income, but the system of purchasing and storing has also caused a great fluctuation in domestic cotton prices, which is unfavorable for cotton textile enterprises. The government can consider subsidizing cotton farmers directly rather than collecting and storing them. As a traditional basic industry, the transformation and upgrading of cotton textile industry will become the most important priority in the future. At the same time, we need to optimize the industrial structure chain and enhance the resistance to price fluctuation risks.
