The Two Sessions talked about “cotton”. Can textile colleagues agree with these views?
Recently, for cotton textile people, it can be said that there are two “good news”, not big or small. One is the China Fabric Industry Federation. Chairman Chang Sun Ruizhe reflected on some of the problems currently encountered by cotton at the two sessions;Both, one The annual cotton reserve rotation has officially begun!For cotton, a policy-led “commodity” , will this “Shangda Tianting” bring a glimmer of clarity to the cotton textile enterprises that are in dire straits? What do the fabric colleagues in the line think of Chairman Sun’s opinions?
Chairman Sun talks about cotton:
In order to stabilize the cotton market, safeguard the interests of cotton farmers, and ensure market supply, my country has implemented a series of cotton policies, including temporary cotton purchase and storage policies, cotton import quota policies, etc., to provide support to the domestic cotton industry and upstream and downstream markets. It has had a profound impact. The main problems are as follows: (1) The price difference between domestic and foreign cotton is large, which reduces the international competitiveness of spinning enterprises; (2) The structural contradiction of cotton supply is prominent and the quality is declining, which cannot meet the transformation and upgrading progress of fabric enterprises. Demand; (3) It brings great difficulties to the operation of cotton textile enterprises, which in turn affects the improvement of the competitiveness of the cotton industry and its healthy progress.
Cotton quality issues and the contradiction between supply and demand are issues that enterprises pay close attention to and need to solve
1. Cotton quality problems are mainly manifested as a decrease in intrinsic quality, such as shorter fiber length, too high micronaire, excessive foreign fibers, mixed grades, etc., and poor spinnability of the fiber. , not only affects the quality of spinning products, but also increases the production and finishing costs of textile enterprises. At present, domestic cotton varieties are mainly fine-staple cotton. In 2016, the proportion of cotton with a fiber length of more than 29mm dropped by about 5 percentage points compared with 2010. The micronaire level of the new checkered pattern fine-staple cotton in the country increased compared with 2010. about 20 percentage points.
2. The imbalance between cotton supply and demand is manifested by prominent structural contradictions between supply and demand, that is, insufficient supply of mid- to high-grade cotton. From the supply situation, under the control of national policies, although my country’s cotton production inventory and import volume have declined, there is still a large amount of cotton reserves. According to statistics consulted by relevant departments, the country’s total cotton output in 2014, 2015 and 2016 was 6.5 million tons, 5.86 million tons and 4.9 million tons respectively, of which Xinjiang’s cotton output accounted for 68% and 73% respectively. From 2014 to 2016, my country’s total cotton imports were 2.54 million tons, 1.56 million tons and 894,400 tons respectively. In 2016, a total of 2.6592 million tons of cotton were shipped from the state reserve throughout the year, and the inventory remained at around 8.2 million tons to 8.5 million tons.
From the demand side, my country’s total cotton consumption demand has not decreased. In recent years, imported yarn has been used to supplement domestic cotton demand. In 2014, 2015 and 2016, my country’s annual imports Spinning yarns were 2.01 million tons, 2.35 million tons and 1.97 million tons respectively. In the past three years, my country’s cotton consumption has been 7.1 million tons, 6.75 million tons and 7.15 million tons respectively.
To deal with the cotton dilemma, multiple measures need to be taken
At the national level, cotton system reform should be fully promoted. The No. 1 document of the Center in 2017 pointed out that the reform of the cotton system should be guided by market demand, promote the structural reform of the cotton supply side, deepen the reform of the cotton price formation mechanism and purchase and storage system, increase the effective supply of cotton, alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand, and improve the quality of cotton products. competitiveness and promote the healthy development of cotton production.
In the short term, we will improve the promotion of cotton marketization and build a long-term mechanism for the development of the cotton industry. Accelerate the improvement of an open, competitive and orderly raw material guarantee market system, establish a raw material guarantee mechanism for fair competition, and deepen the reform of market allocation of resources.
In 2014, my country began to implement the pilot policy of cotton target price reform. By formulating long-term and stable cotton prices and basic pricing principles, we have improved the cotton price market formation mechanism and created a fair operating environment. Coordinate the utilization of cotton resources, integrate domestic cotton management policies, and alleviate the structural contradiction between domestic supply and demand.
At the industry level, from the perspective of market trends, non-cotton fibers and cotton coexist and complement each other. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the application of non-cotton fibers in fabric companies increased significantly, and the ratio of cotton fiber to non-cotton fiber also changed from 64:36 in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” to 34:66 today.
Several specific suggestions
1. Take the cotton target price pilot as a starting point to stabilize domestic cotton prices and supply and improve cotton quality.
2. Simplify the export verification and write-off procedures for cotton finishing trade, adopt an “application system” to allocate quotas on demand, and facilitate the export trade of cotton textile fabrics.
3. Release cotton import quotas, effectively resolve the structural contradictions in cotton supply, and realize the marketization of the upstream and downstream cotton industries.
4. Stabilize the policy expectations for reserve cotton rotation, standardize the reserve cotton rotation management mechanism, and establish a monitoring, prosecution and punishment system to reduce unnecessary expenditures and reduce the burden on enterprises.
From the perspective of industry progress, the first is to increase investment in research and development, enhance innovation capabilities, and take the road of technological innovation. Further increase the research, development and promotion of functional and differentiated chemical fibers to enhance the added value of products and enhance core competitiveness. The second is to improve the quality standard system and take the road of quality development. Improve the quality standard system for non-cotton products, standardize market behavior, and guide the industry to move toward the “mid-to-high end” of the value chain. The third is to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the industry and take the path of green development. Increase the research, development, application and promotion of green technologies and processes for non-cotton products to promote sustainable development of the industry. At the cotton industry chain level, accelerate the formation of the “four-dimensional” docking mechanism and regulation model of the cotton industry chain, that is, with the enterprise chain as the carrier, the supply and demand chain as the path, and the value chain as the leader, through the reasonable distribution and optimal configuration of the enterprise chain in space (space chain ), to ensure the steady growth of cotton farmers’ income at the micro level, promote technological innovation of cotton-related enterprises, and enhance the added value of products; at the meso level, promote the cotton industry to transform production, management, and development methods, adjust the industry and product structure, and deepen cotton quality Reform the inspection and circulation system, improve the coordination mechanism for the balance of interests in the upstream and downstream, and all links of the cotton industry chain; maintain the security of the cotton industry at the macro level, promote economic development, and maintain social stability.
