Export Volume Of Linen Garments And Negative Growth In Volume

Since 2016, flax yarn sales in China have declined.

In January 2016, China exported 3056 tons of flax yarn, up 4.58% from 2922 tons in the same period last year, but the average export price was 8.26 US dollars / kg, down 9.73% from the 9.11 US dollars / kg in January last year, and the unit price dropped significantly.

Since the Qingming Festival, the sales volume of linen fabric market in China has increased rapidly, which has gradually lifted the heart of the linen enterprise.

But how to eliminate the problems that lie in front of the linen industry has become the most concern for the linen industry.

Thus, a conference focusing on the difficulties in Linen Industry and exploring the direction of development of linen industry was held in Shanghai recently.

The conference focused on these issues, and more than 30 representatives from the national flax industry put forward their respective views and views on the current development situation, existing problems and the next step of the flax industry, trying to find more strength for the industry.

Xu Jixiang, President of the China Linen Textile Industry Association, said: "the linen textile industry has developed fastest, and its production and processing volume and trade export volume have surpassed the ramie textile industry ranking first in the hemp textile industry.

Linen long linen spinning developed from 350 thousand in 2010 to 650 thousand in 2015.

Linen blended industry is developing rapidly, and many cotton, wool and chemical fiber textile enterprises are trying to blend with flax.

The processing technology and equipment level of linen textile industry has also been updated year by year to reach the advanced level in the world.

However, since the second half of last year, the entire textile industry has seen a slowdown.

The total export volume of linen yarn in 2015 was 33 thousand and 700 tons, up 5.96% over the same period last year.

Dong Chunxing, vice chairman, said the sale price of linen yarn in China decreased significantly.

From the survey of Jiangsu and Zhejiang enterprises in March by the China hemp textile industry association, the sale price of flax yarn with the same number in the market is about 10% different, resulting in the backlog of products and the price of each other.

According to customs statistics, the total export of hemp garments in China in 2015 was 26 billion 675 million US dollars, down 5.96% compared with 28 billion 365 million US dollars in the same period in 2014. The total number of garments exported was 3 billion 999 million, compared with 4 billion 197 million in the same period in 2014, a decrease of 4.72%.

Negative growth for the first time.

Delegates generally agreed that the bottleneck problem of linen raw materials has become more prominent in recent years, which has restricted the development of linen industry.

On the one hand, China's Linen raw materials are basically dependent on imports and prices remain high.

In 2015, the linen textile industry in China consumed about 210 thousand tons of flax fiber, of which 184 thousand tons of imported flax raw materials and 87.62% of imports accounted for.

Especially in the past two years, the import demand for flax raw materials in China is higher, so the price of linen in Europe is still high.

The average price of imported hemp in 2015 was 2.99 US dollars / kg, compared with 1.84 US dollars / kg in 2010, the increase was 62.50%, which caused great pressure on the production of enterprises. In 2015, the total number of imported flax raw materials increased by 10.53% in China, and the total import value was 439 million US dollars, up 0.38% over the same period last year.

On the other hand, the domestic flax raw material has been severely shrunk due to the lack of high-quality seeds and advanced harvesting techniques, resulting in a serious shortage of linen's right to speak in terms of price, quality and grade of imported raw materials.

It is estimated that in 2015, the planting area of Flax in China was less than 100 thousand mu, mainly distributed in Heilongjiang and Xinjiang, and decreased by 50% compared with 2009.

Due to the lack of good seeds and advanced harvesting equipment, there are not many suitable climatic zones for rain and dew.

Because China's flax raw materials are heavily dependent on imports, it is domestic.

The development is extremely disadvantageous.

Some enterprise representatives reflect: "in the case of reduced orders and falling prices, enterprises are facing sales difficulties.

Some flax enterprises have to sell products at low cost in order to return the funds, which will bring adverse effects to the flax industry.

Delegates have expressed their views and put forward suggestions on how to eliminate unfavorable factors and make the flax industry develop steadily and healthily.

In view of the fact that the price of imported flax raw materials is high and the quality of domestic flax raw materials is low, the delegates suggested that China Ma textile industry association hope to study and discuss with relevant departments of Heilongjiang Province, and how to vigorously develop linen planting in Heilongjiang Province, take advantage of the original linen planting advantages, and gradually expand the planting area of Heilongjiang province in a planned and step by step manner under the premise of protecting the interests of farmers, so as to reproduce the brilliant exploration ideas of Flax in Heilongjiang province.

As for the previous stage of disorderly competition in the flax market, the participants said that the linen industry is a small industry in the big textile industry. As an industry, it should take care of this market and develop together.

The early linen market is not ideal, causing some disorderly competition in some flax enterprises, which is not conducive to the development of linen industry.

Therefore, flax enterprises should not overly reduce prices in the process of selling products, resulting in confusion in the flax market.

At present, the linen market has seen a glimmer of hope. We hope that we can work together to ensure quality and stabilize prices and tide over difficulties together.

At the same time, the delegates thought that in the current situation of foreign market orders, vigorously developing the domestic consumer market is also a top priority for the linen industry.

We are looking forward to creating a relatively balanced market both at home and abroad, so that the change in a single market will have a negative impact on the linen industry.

Therefore, in the current market conditions, increasing the development of domestic flax market is also the next development focus of the linen industry.

Therefore, we must speed up the adjustment of product mix and develop innovative high-end textile products.

At the same time, we should pay more attention to the innovative development of brand, culture, creativity and fashion elements.

In addition, in view of the current situation of equipment aging, industry employment, low production efficiency, labor intensity and poor production environment in the flax industry in China, the delegates thought that the innovation of technology and equipment was urgent.
