Xinjiang: Freight rates have jumped three times in a row, causing problems when leaving Xinjiang
Abstract: At present, the harvesting of seed cotton in Xinjiang is about to end. The acquisition and processing progress of cotton enterprises are accelerating, but the sales progress of Xinjiang cotton is not satisfactory. The outsourcing of Xinjiang cotton has become a headache for Xinjiang cotton enterprises and mainland textile enterprises. This year’s Xinjiang cotton is facing Is it difficult to leave the border? The two ways to move cotton from Xinjiang to the interior are railway transportation and road transportation. After the implementation of the 500 yuan/ton freight subsidy policy for cotton transportation by road and railway, the freight rate and delivery time limit of road transportation are significantly higher than that of railway transportation
Key words:
Currently, Xinjiang seed cotton harvesting is about to end, cotton enterprises’ acquisition and processing progress is accelerating, and Xinjiang cotton sales progress However, it is not satisfactory. The export of Xinjiang cotton has become a headache for Xinjiang cotton enterprises and mainland textile enterprises. Is it difficult for Xinjiang cotton to export from Xinjiang this year?
The two ways to move Xinjiang cotton to the inland are railway transportation and road transportation. In road and railway After the implementation of the 500 yuan/ton freight subsidy policy for cotton transportation, road freight rates and delivery times have obvious advantages over railways, and truck transportation has become the first choice for Xinjiang cotton export. According to data from China Railway Corporation, railway cotton in 2015 The annual transportation volume is 3.8-4 million tons. There was a serious decline in 2015, with 2.79 million tons completed throughout the year, a year-on-year decrease of 43.8%. From January to August 2016, the railway shipped a total of 750,000 tons of cotton, a year-on-year decrease of 55.2%.
On September 21, the “Regulations on the Highway Management of Over-limit Transport Vehicles”, known as the strictest limit in history 》 came into effect. This regulation reduced the standard tonnage of over-limit and overloaded goods, resulting in a significant increase in the transportation costs of lint cotton roads out of Xinjiang. Originally, a six-axle vehicle could hold 165-175 pieces, but now it can only hold 130-135 pieces. In theory, This will increase cotton transportation costs by at least 20%. Under this circumstance, the truck transportation price of Xinjiang cotton to the inland warehouse will be increased by about 100 yuan/ton in early October, and will be increased by 120-150 yuan/ton in mid-to-late October. Freight charges have been raised across the board by 100-200 yuan/ton, with a cumulative increase of more than 300 yuan/ton. Due to the increase in truck shipping costs, cotton companies have turned their attention to railway transportation. So what about railway freight rates? According to the regulations of the Urumqi Railway Bureau, Starting from November 1, the freight for 58-60 ton boxcars will return to the original price from the previous reduction of 7%, and the freight for 70 ton boxcars will be reduced by 8%.
Regardless of whether it is rail or truck transportation, freight rates have increased significantly. Xinjiang cotton companies accept high freight, then can the problem of Xinjiang cotton sales to the mainland be solved? Not so. According to the Kuitun District Warehouse, all surrounding railway transportation has been scheduled until mid-December, which is when Xinjiang jujubes, walnuts and other agricultural products and energy are intensively exported. During the period of Xinjiang, coupled with the increase in road transportation costs, a large amount of cotton leaving Xinjiang flowed to the railways, exacerbating the tension of freight trains. In terms of automobile transportation, although freight rates have increased, fleets and individual drivers are not cold. In November and December, Xinjiang There is still a lot of pressure to dump short cotton into the warehouse. Drivers don’t have to worry about having no work to do. In addition, a vehicle in Xinjiang can transport 186 bales (only about 133 bales can be shipped out of Xinjiang). The time is short and the income is high. In addition, in Xinjiang, When low temperature, rainfall, and snowfall weather arrives, the transportation period to the inland is long and dangerous, so vehicles in Xinjiang are reluctant to leave Xinjiang.
From this point of view, it will take some time for Xinjiang cotton to be transferred to the mainland for sales. If mainland textile companies If Xinjiang cotton cannot be used in time, you can also consider using real estate cotton. Judging from the 2016 notarized inspection data, the index of real estate cotton in many areas has improved significantly this year, which can meet the needs of some textile companies.
