The Textile Industry Is Facing Five Severe Tests.

Before the outbreak of the financial crisis, the textile industry has already been tested by the "five difficult problems".

On the 19 day, the Executive Council of the State Council examined and determined six measures to promote the healthy development of the textile industry, aiming at coping with the international financial crisis and the impact of the changing international economic situation on economic growth and employment.

In China, the textile industry is a highly export-oriented industry. Every year, 1/3 strong cotton is imported from abroad, and more than 1/3 products depend on foreign market sales.

      國際金融危機使紡織業處境雪上加霜

Before the outbreak of the financial crisis, the textile industry faced five difficult problems: RMB appreciation and low export tax rebate rate, rising production costs and product prices, increased inventory of finished goods and liquidity, shortage of cotton and labor resources, environmental protection and social responsibility pressure.

The sharp reduction in orders has resulted in the closure of a large number of export-oriented enterprises along the coast, and a large backlog of gauze products in the mainland enterprises.

Product quality is low - the crisis brought about not only a significant reduction in external orders, but also a marked decrease in product grades and prices.

For example, the advantage of our province's cotton textile enterprises, China's 3542 factory, the original 80 or more high-end products accounted for 2/3, now can only be adjusted to 1/3; and, for example, Wuhan province Aidi, the dominant enterprise of knitted garments in our province, although the volume of orders has not been significantly reduced, including the European Union's orders, the stalls have been significantly reduced.

Technical barriers are strict. Because of the weak market, enterprises are not only difficult to take orders, but also difficult to do.

      棉花價格起落無常，產業鏈條或將陷入惡性循環

If the original "five difficulties" make the industry difficult, and the financial crisis will make the industry more difficult, then the cotton price fluctuation will give the industry a fatal blow.

As cotton and agricultural products prices drop and fall, all links in the textile industry chain are waiting to see and see, there is a tendency to break off the chain.

      三大措施可緩解行業壓力

Under the current situation, the textile industry should deal with the financial crisis and alleviate the current pressure. In addition to actively implementing the macroeconomic regulation and control measures promulgated by the state, special policies should be adopted to ease the pressure on the industry.

      第一，優化稅費環境。在紡織行業當前所處的最困難時期，建議政府改善紡織行業的稅費環境，或采取階段性的優惠政策，扶助行業渡過難關。具體講就是國家應完善棉紡織行業的稅收政策，實行和其他產業一樣進17%，銷17%的政策。多年來，紡織工業的主體棉紡織行業一直實行的是進13%銷17%的稅收政策(收購棉花時實行的是13%的進項稅，銷售產品時實行的是17%銷項稅)，長期多交4個點的稅，極不合理，致使行業稅負較重(大型棉紡織企業的稅負都在8%～11%之間)，加之棉紡織企業棉花成本占總成本的70%～80%，僅此一項，可增加棉紡行業15%~20%左右的利潤。

      第二，優化融資環境。當前企業普遍反映融資困難，流動資金基本枯竭，很可能陷入惡性循環的泥潭。而當前棉花均價在每噸1.1萬元上下，是近些年來少有的現象,總有回升的可能。因此，如果政府和銀行業在這個時候給予紡織企業資金支持，并按國家出臺的貼息政策到位，用于企業購買棉花，可取得一舉兩得的效果。一方面可緩解紡織企業的困難，另一方面也可減輕棉花企業的壓力。

      第三，出重拳穩定棉花市場。棉花是紡織行業的命脈，我們不怕價高，就怕價格不穩，尤其是大起大落。因此，建議國家要關注、整頓棉花期貨、撮合市場，打擊空頭交易，積極采取措施穩定棉花價格，保證農民、農產品加工企業及紡織企業的應有利益。
