Xinjiang Textile: Relying On Resource Policy Advantages To Strengthen Industrial Chain Construction

By the end of 2009, the textile industry in Xinjiang had a total of 4 million spindles of cotton spinning and ring spinning and 90 thousand spinning rotor spinning. The cotton spinning production capacity ranked first in the 12 provinces and municipalities in the western region of China and sixth in the whole country. The output of cotton yarn was 400 thousand tons, of which the output of combed yarn was about 32%, much higher than the national average level, and the productivity of cotton pulp and viscose fiber reached 600 thousand tons and 400 thousand tons respectively, accounting for 50% and 20% of the whole country.

The "textile production adjustment and revitalization plan" introduced by the state last year put forward the construction of the "Xinjiang high quality cotton yarn, cotton and cotton textile production base", which pointed out the direction for further development of Xinjiang's textile industry.

A policy of support from both sides.

Last year was a more difficult year for the development of Xinjiang's textile industry, mainly due to international.

Even more encouraging to the textile industry in Xinjiang is that the plan has also explicitly proposed for Xinjiang: "strengthen cooperation between the mainland and Xinjiang, and build high-quality cotton yarn, cotton and cotton textile production bases in Xinjiang.

We support large enterprises and large groups to move one end of their industrial chain to Xinjiang's development, and build an industrial chain with close links and coordinated development across the region, and build Xinjiang into a textile and garment export processing base based on the mainland for Central Asia and Europe, and a regional international trade center.

This strategic plan provides a golden opportunity for the development of Xinjiang's textile industry.

To promote quality cotton yarn and cotton cloth in Xinjiang

Kugesi Maikosuti, member of the Standing Committee of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region Party committee and vice chairman of the autonomous region, pointed out: "the textile industry adjustment and revitalization plan" put forward clear requirements for Xinjiang's textile industry in optimizing regional layout and undertaking industrial pfer, providing a rare opportunity for the development of Xinjiang's textile industry.

Xinjiang should strengthen communication and coordination with relevant ministries and commissions of the state, actively implement various policies and measures, seize the policy opportunity to shift the textile processing industry to the central and western regions, and actively promote and guide large enterprise groups with industrial advantages and domestic and foreign sales channels to move the front of the industrial chain to Xinjiang, build a textile processing base, and make the textile industry a new bright spot for the growth of Xinjiang's industrial economy.

In order to put the plan into practice, the Xinjiang textile industry management office combined with the actual situation, compiled the Xinjiang textile industry revitalization planning plan in time. According to the requirements of "adjusting structure, ensuring growth, promoting employment and maintaining stability", the government actively helped enterprises solve the difficulties and problems arising from production and operation.

In the first half of 2009, in the first half of 2009, 10 key monitoring textile enterprises in the region received loans from commercial banks and policy banks in the form of liquidity loans, which eased financial pressure to a certain extent. At the same time, the management office also actively applied for the sale of State Cotton stores in Xinjiang, and solved the problem of cotton spinning shortage in some cotton spinning enterprises in the region.

In order to further strengthen the cotton industry and further promote the development of the textile industry, the Xinjiang Construction Corps put forward a special fund of 100 million yuan to support the construction of the cotton textile base during the period from 2009 to 2010. The new cotton spinning spindles were given 1 million yuan subsidy per 10000 spindles, and the new weaving, printing and dyeing and garment production enterprises were also given appropriate subsidies.

In the first half of 2010, Xinjiang Tiansheng Industrial Co., Ltd., Tumu Shuker former Cotton Textile Co., Ltd. and alar Tianfeng Textile Co., Ltd. met the reward conditions, respectively, with a bonus of 10 million 750 thousand yuan, 3 million 350 thousand yuan and 2 million 180 thousand yuan.

Strong preferential policies accelerated the development of the Corps textile industry.

In recent years, well-known textile groups at home and abroad, such as Jiangsu Huafang group, Zhejiang Xiong Feng Group, Hongsheng group and Saudi Arabia argillan group, have settled in Shihezi development zone.

At present, the Shihezi Development Zone has been built as the largest cotton textile industrial base in the western region of China.

By the end of 2009, Shihezi textile city had reached 1 million 500 thousand spindles in cotton spinning and 18 thousand in air spinning.

This year, Shihezi will also add more than 500 thousand spindles to cotton spinning. At the end of the year, cotton spinning capacity will exceed 2 million spindles.

Due to the combination of efforts and efforts, Xinjiang textile industry has been recovering from the 3 quarter of last year, and its economic performance has stabilized and rebounded.

The 3 leading textile products were cotton yarn, cotton pulp and viscose fiber, which increased by 0.65%, 45% and 12% respectively, and the comprehensive product sales rate reached 96.37%.

In the first quarter of this year, the production and operation of Xinjiang's textile industry continued to maintain a good momentum. The output of cotton yarn increased by 28.1% over the same period, the output of combed yarn increased by 26.02%, chemical fiber increased by 144.4%, cotton pulp output increased by 58.9%, and the main business income increased by 77.4% over the same period last year.

Build superior industrial clusters to achieve agglomeration effect

In principle, in the revitalization plan of Xinjiang textile industry, we put forward the development thinking of building the "two cities" (Shihezi, Akesu), "seven gardens" (Kuitun, Korla, Kashi, bole, Hutubi, Sha ya, Bachu) and the "one center" (Urumqi International Textile Trade Center). In accordance with the idea of "industrial parks, industrial parks and industrial clusters", we should innovate the mechanism of attracting foreign investment, adhere to high starting points and high standards, introduce large enterprises and large groups, and introduce and nurture key enterprises and projects, so as to drive the related industries to gather and support them, and form a pillar industry cluster with a high degree of concentration, strong correlation and strong competitiveness, and a regional special economy, so that the park will become a powerful "engine" for promoting the textile industry of China. In order to form an advantageous textile industrial cluster, Xinjiang concentrates on the advantages of regional advantages, resources advantages and productive capacity according to the regional distribution characteristics of textile raw material resources.

The launch of the national textile industry readjustment and revitalization plan has undoubtedly accelerated the pace of mainland cotton spinning enterprises to enter Xinjiang.

For a long time, especially since this year, many mainland cotton textile enterprises from Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces and some overseas cotton textile enterprises have entered Xinjiang.

In late April, Ningbo YOUNGOR (12.02, -0.09, -0.74%) Japan China textile printing and dyeing Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement with the Awati County People's government. It plans to invest 200 million yuan, and build 50 thousand spindles compact spinning and 30 thousand spindles double twisting project in Awati County Industrial Park. It is expected to start construction in June and put into operation in October 2011.

In April 26th, in the Akesu Industrial Park, the foundation laying ceremony of the annual output of 95 thousand tons of cotton pulp was held in Shanghai Baijin group Akesu Jinjiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd.

The company is a subsidiary company of Shanghai Baijin Chemical Group Co., Ltd., which combines its own chemical production advantages to develop the chemical fiber industry and develop cotton pulp business in Akesu, Xinjiang, in order to upgrade the industrial chain and expand the industrial scale.

In April 28th, Zhejiang Huafu Holdings Limited, Shihezi Huafu fiber dyeing project started construction in the North Industrial Park of Shihezi development zone. The total investment of the project is 125 million yuan, and it is planned to be put into operation in October this year.

In May 6th, Zhejiang Huafu Holdings Limited invested 20 million yuan in Awati, Xinjiang, to open the curtain of 20 thousand color spinning technical pformation project and put it into production.

In May 20th, Zhejiang Jiali investment group Jianying Textile Co., Ltd. invested 110 million yuan in the two phase 50 thousand spindles cotton spinning project officially settled in Akesu area Xinhe County.

The company's first phase 30 thousand cotton spinning project was put into operation in 2007. After the completion of the two phase 50 thousand spindles project, the scale will reach 80 thousand spindles, with a total investment of 210 million yuan.

On the same day, Sichuan Jintai Textile Group invested 220 million yuan in the 100 thousand spindles cotton spinning project.

With the continuous entry of well-known textile enterprises at home and abroad, Xinjiang has gradually become the target area and the "hot spot" of investment in China's textile industry.

Through restructuring or new construction, the scale of these enterprises has reached 2 million 600 thousand spindles, accounting for 65% of the total size of Xinjiang.

The entry of famous enterprises such as Xinjiang Yida, Akesu giant eagle, Xinjiang Lu Tai, Xinjiang YOUNGOR, Hongkong mutual benefit, Saudi argillan company and so on, has made Xinjiang textile industry form an industrial chain which is closely linked to each other, and has promoted the competitiveness of Xinjiang textile enterprises participating in the domestic and international market competition.

Fan Zhihong, director of the planning and Development Department of the textile industry management office of the autonomous region, said: "the gathering of industries will inevitably bring together the capital, technology and brand. This creates favorable conditions for the rapid development of Xinjiang's textile industry and the continuous improvement of its competitiveness.

Finally, we will build Xinjiang into a textile and garment processing base and a regional international trade center based on the mainland, Central Asia and Europe.

Foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses and improve the industrial chain

Xu Wenying, vice president of China Textile Industry Association and President of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, pointed out that although Xinjiang is a large cotton producing province in China, and the quality of cotton is good, it has an incomparable advantage in other regions.

But there are also three disadvantages that restrict its development: first, there is only locally processed cotton yarn products in Xinjiang. Long-distance pportation will undoubtedly cause this rise, which will naturally lead to the loss of price advantage; two, the technical strength of Xinjiang textile industry is relatively weak, which is also the fundamental factor that causes Xinjiang textile industry to delay self improvement. Three, the textile industry in Xinjiang is too short, most of the enterprises only stay in the initial stage of the industrial chain.

Xu Wenying's analysis is pointing out the main problems existing in Xinjiang's textile industry.

For example, the developing textile industry in Shihezi has ranked the first in the western textile industry, but the product structure is mainly single spinning, and the annual weaving is only 5 million meters.

Fan Zhihong said that if we want to realize the leaping development of Xinjiang's textile industry, "we should increase investment and attract more famous textile enterprises to invest in Xinjiang, and build an industrial chain with cross regional, upstream and downstream integration and coordinated development."

To this end, Shihezi continues to unswervingly accelerate the pace of industrial upgrading.

After the Hongsheng home textile company settled in Shihezi, in 2009, they introduced yarn dyed fabric technology to achieve a breakthrough in Shihezi home textiles, and its wide shuttle shuttleless loom filled the gap in the territory.

In 2009, Tiansheng company started construction in the North Industrial Park of Shihezi Development Zone, producing 60 thousand tons of towels, 100 million Beige woven fabrics and 20 thousand tons knitted fabric annually.

This year, Shandong Ruyi group will invest 200 million yuan to build 1 million 500 thousand sets of high-grade suit production lines in the Development Zone annually.

Zhejiang Huafu Holdings Limited invested 116 million yuan and the annual production of 20 thousand tons of fiber dyeing project started construction in Shihezi North Industrial Park, and will be put into operation in October. This project will fill the blank of Xinjiang color spinning industry.

Meng Xianfeng, deputy director of the Shihezi economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee, said that the construction of Shihezi Huafu fiber dyeing project not only fills the blank of Xinjiang's colored spinning industry, but also has important significance for extending the cotton textile industry chain, improving the added value of cotton textile products, adjusting the structure of the cotton textile industry and enhancing the core competitiveness of the cotton spinning industry.

Huang Jianjun, general manager of Shihezi Huafu Fiber Co., Ltd., told Xinhua that Huafu Holdings Limited is one of the few enterprises in China's textile enterprises in recent years, and their secret weapon lies in their unique color dyeing technology.

Color spinning technology is different from traditional tube yarn, cloth dyeing and clothing dyeing. It is a modern, environment-friendly and fashionable new dyeing production technology. It is a new environmental protection and energy saving project recognized by the national textile industry.

With the experience of overcoming adversity by advanced technology, Huafu Holdings has made Xinjiang textile industry more clearly see the important role of technology in the process of industrial development.

To this end, they have further strengthened the combination of industry, University and research, promoted the construction of the joint development demonstration base of textile industry, research and research, and made full use of their respective advantages in textile institutions, research institutes and enterprises, and cooperated in new materials, new processes, new equipment, and information technology.

In 2009, Xinjiang Fang Ting company was designated as the joint development demonstration base of the autonomous region.

Xinjiang University, Xinjiang Textile Academy and YOUNGOR, Xinjiang Jinta and Gold Eagle Co have made new achievements in new product development, new technology extension and application.

In the same year, Xinjiang textile industry also strives for 1 million 830 thousand yuan of special funds in the autonomous region, which is used in Manasi Australian company high whiteness viscose fiber, Tianshan wool textile company cashmere micro suspension dyeing technology, Fang Ting company organic cotton series clothing products, YOUNGOR company Siluo textile yarn line and so on, which have a strong driving effect on industrial technology progress.
