Cotton reform advances to stabilize cotton production

Wang Tiankai, President of China National Textile and Apparel Council, Xia Lingmin, Vice President, and Zhu Buna, Chairman of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, held a symposium on Henan textile enterprises on October 11 to discuss the cotton market, reserve cotton auction, quota distribution, and market outlook. Development and policy made relevant views. Leaders of the Henan Textile Industry Association Li Shuqin, the head of the Provincial Cotton Association, and more than 30 representatives of more than 30 key cotton textile companies, cotton management companies, and cotton ** companies from across the province attended the symposium .

The conference focused on cotton supply and demand, cotton spinning production and related issues, and had a lively discussion and full exchange.

Wang Tiankai pointed out that in recent years, with the acceleration of economic development and the strategy for the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone, Henan has accelerated the structural adjustment of the textile industry and the pace of undertaking industrial transfer, and the industry has also made considerable progress. The current development of the cotton industry has encountered some problems. If the current cotton policy or even the system is not adjusted in time, not only does it affect the industrial safety of the textile industry, it will eventually affect the development of the cotton industry and the interests of the cotton farmers.

Li Shuqin said that Henan is a major province of textiles, mainly cotton textiles, with an annual output of 4.65 million tons of cotton yarn, and Henan also uses cotton province. Due to the huge price difference between domestic and foreign cotton and the sluggish domestic and foreign markets, Henan has been greatly affected. This year, Henan's textile industry has encountered unprecedented difficulties, production and profits have declined, losses have increased, companies have started underemployed, and production cuts and semi-stop production have increased. If the textile industry continues to be difficult, it will not only adversely affect the stable development of Henan, but will also affect social stability. It is hoped that China Textile will continue to increase its support for the textile industry in Henan Province, seize the crucial period for the establishment of the Central Plains Economic Zone into the national strategy, strive for national policy support, and further consolidate and enhance the important status of the “large textile province”.

Shao Jiaxiang, president of Nanyang Textile Group, believes that the domestic and foreign cotton price spreads are too large, the domestic and foreign markets are sluggish, China’s textile competitiveness is weakened, and export orders are shifting, which is the main reason why textile companies are in difficulty.

“In terms of cotton supply and demand, the upstream is a planned economic system, and the downstream is a market economic system. Upstream and downstream interests are difficult to drive for unification. Future cotton prices are uncertain, supply channels are unpredictable, and downstream cotton business development plans are difficult to formulate. The two systems are not In the docking, the cotton price cycle fluctuates and fluctuates greatly.” Zhang Xianshun, general manager of Henan Plain Cotton Textile Group, said that it is difficult for cotton spinning companies, cotton companies, and cotton farmers. The entire industry cannot maintain stable and healthy development. The ratio of grain and cotton is irrational. There is no enthusiasm for planting cotton, and cotton farmers are reluctant to sell. How can the interests of cotton farmers be protected?

The chairman of Shangqiu Galaxy River Cotton Co., Ltd. said that from the 3rd of September, the state sold reserve cotton at a reserve price of 18,500 yuan per ton to stabilize the market and support the textile industry. The move is good. However, it is understood that the first-day transaction rate is less than 70%, textile companies do not buy, because the industry is difficult, this price is still more pressure on cotton companies. In addition, throwing the deposits by auction may trigger up the price.

Cao Junhai, general manager of Jiaozuo Haihua Textile Co., Ltd., said that the distribution of imported cotton quotas should be scientific and reasonable. It is necessary to avoid "would cry children have milk to eat" or "sprinkle noodles." The distribution of quotas should reflect the policy spirit of helping and supporting the superior.

Li Xueyue, general manager of Jinyi Group's Zhengzhou Textile Division, said: “In the past few years, although the textile industry has been ups and downs, it is fairly stable. However, in 2012, when it turned into a turning point, market conditions and the environment changed, and labor costs increased rigidly. The profits are even thinner than the blade, and even the loss is very sad. The original expansion of the enterprise relied on speed, scale, and low cost, but now it is important to enhance the internal dynamics and also need policy support." Thinking about Li Xueyue's words Connotation is far-reaching. "We urge the country to speed up the reform of the cotton management system and provide support in taxation and other aspects."

After earnestly listening to everyone’s speeches, Wang Tiankai said that we must understand and adjust from a strategic height and solve the current cotton policy and system issues. We must make concerted efforts and in-depth investigations to truly coordinate the interests of industry and agriculture, domestic and foreign and textile industry chains, put forward policy recommendations and reform measures, promote the current reform of the cotton system, and promote the steady and rapid development of the textile industry in Henan and the whole country. development of.

After the meeting, Zhu Beina and his party went to Nanyang, Kaifeng, Xinxiang, Anyang and other cities, and went deeper to more than 10 enterprises such as Nanyang Textile Group, Henan Xueyang Group and Xinye Textile Co., Ltd., Qianshi Textile and Huixian Sunstone. Research.

How to promote the reform of cotton is particularly important, and the ultimate goal of stabilizing cotton production is yet to be further realized.
