Xu Jixiang: Speed Up Technology Upgrading And Expand Domestic Market

Ramie industry boom is rising

According to incomplete statistics, from 2010 to May, the main business income of the national hemp textile industry was expected to be 12 billion 500 million yuan, an increase of 20% over the previous year of 10 billion 400 million yuan, of which ramie is expected to grow 5 billion 600 million yuan, up 21% over the same period last year.

The total profit was 424 million yuan, up 30% from the previous year's 326 million yuan, of which ramie is expected to be 153 million yuan, up 36% over the same period last year.

"Data show that the prosperity of the national hemp textile industry is constantly improving, the situation is better than last year, but the recovery is relatively slow. There are still some deep-seated problems that need to be studied and solved.

For example, what is the biggest challenge facing ramie textile enterprises? I think the pressure of labor cost increase and RMB appreciation is the biggest.

What is the biggest opportunity? I think it is the key to speed up technical pformation, improve equipment level, develop high value-added terminal products and expand domestic market. "

President of China Textile Industry Association

The reporter learned that at present, China's textile industry association is recommending and striving to adopt the method of "home code to the countryside" and "replacing the old with the countryside" with the relevant ministries and commissions of the state, giving financial subsidies to the enterprises of technological pformation and upgrading, and encouraging the textile machinery factory to develop mechanical equipment suitable for ramie enterprises.

At the same time, the association has written reports to the relevant ministries and commissions of the state, striving for the same treatment of subsidies for grain farmers, and a subsidy of 0.5 yuan per kilogram of flax county.

Actively declare projects and expand domestic market

"The development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of industry and information technology in 2010, the end of the technical pformation work is ramie biological degumming and stretch cutting process into the textile machinery industry synchronization consideration.

Through hard work, a lot of work has been done in China's ramie industry in terms of energy conservation, emission reduction, sewage treatment and technological progress, especially the existing technology has played a good effect.

Xu Jixiang pointed out that in the future, we should do well in technological progress and independent brand building so as to enhance the core competitiveness of ramie enterprises.

He believes that the main problems are: whether capital construction investment or operation costs are large, ramie enterprises can not afford it.

"For this reason, we must actively declare projects to national and local governments and strive for policy support.

At the same time, we should accelerate the application of industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and adopt new applications, new technologies and new technologies that are conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection.

The conference held that the development of terminal products and the layout of domestic market are the guarantee to enhance ramie enterprises' ability to resist risks.

According to industry experts, if the RMB appreciation is 3%, it means that many small and medium-sized enterprises will be in the "dry" situation. If the appreciation rate reaches 5%, nearly 2/3 of the small and medium-sized enterprises will fall into losses.

RMB appreciation is very unfavorable to ramie export enterprises, especially for ramie enterprises which are mostly produced by domestic products and exported mostly.

Flax and jute have little offset from each other.

"Ramie enterprises must attach great importance to doing well in developing terminal products and expanding domestic sales."

Xu Jixiang said, first of all, the ramie textile industry chain should be extended and improved, from the primary products to the middle and top grade products, and from the expansion of quantity to the upgrading of quality.

We must strengthen the integration of the upstream and downstream industries chain, blend and interweave ramie textile natural fibers with cotton, silk and functional fibers; link ramie fabric with clothing and home textile industry; integrate ramie products with national defense, health and tourism; combine new product development with brand building; and promote sales from low carbon, fashion, environmental protection and comfort.

Cultivating high-quality ramie base and talent team

How should ramie enterprises do well in the marketing of domestic sales? Xu Jixiang believes that, first, we should further optimize the main body structure, product mix, marketing structure and market structure, meet the individual needs of consumers, and guide the expansion of consumption.

Two is to enhance the level of product design creativity, play the role of ramie enterprise product development center, fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of product designers.

Three, self brand chain stores, special stores, e-commerce and other modern circulation development trend of the new mode of distribution and sales should be vigorously developed.

Four, we should vigorously expand the rural market and make use of the market process of "thousands of villages and thousands of townships" to promote the independent brand of hemp knitted garments and home textiles.

"We must speed up the cultivation of organic high quality raw material bases for agricultural industrialization and build the foundation for ramie enterprise production."

He said.

According to incomplete statistics, the planting area of ramie in 2009 was 1 million 100 thousand mu, which decreased by 500 thousand mu and 1 million 600 thousand mu last year, shrinking 31%. In 2009, the total output was 176 thousand tons, 44 thousand tons lower than that of 220 thousand tons last year, down 33%.

This shows that ramie raw material supply has great hidden trouble and must be paid attention to.

Ramie is a Chinese grass, an agricultural economic crop with Chinese characteristics, and China's own affairs must be well handled by the Chinese people.

Xu Jixiang thought, "we must cultivate excellent talents."

In China's ramie industry, there is a lack of senior product designers and brand creative talents. Ramie enterprises should increase investment in product R & D design and focus on cultivating designers.

At the same time, we should strengthen the construction of technicians and technicians, develop targeted job skills training, improve the working ability and skills of the staff, and promote the upgrading of enterprises.

During this year's meeting, Zhang Shiping, honorary president of China's Linen Textile Association and Hong Jun, deputy secretary general, held a seminar on "new ramie fiber processing and textile technology and equipment" Symposium and listened to technical experts' good opinions and suggestions.

The China Association of textile and textile industry was proposed to hold a meeting of science, technology and Research Association in Dalian in early July. At the end of September, a technical exchange meeting was held in Xianning, Hubei, and an expert technical committee was set up.

"The export tax rebate rate has increased from 16% to 17% now, and at the same time, it is required to solve the problem of high levy deduction, such as: buying ramie fiber raw material tax 13%, but the product sales tax is 17%, and ask the state to return the 4% tax rate difference to the enterprise."

China's textile industry association has asked the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of industry and commerce to report on the measures adopted by the cotton textile industry to deal with the appreciation of the renminbi.

The association supports the pilot project of organic high quality seed and vegetable base in agricultural industrialization, and selects a pilot unit in ramie, linen, jute and hemp to obtain the policy support from the Ministry of agriculture so as to promote the promotion of experience.

We are going to hold the on-site meeting of the organic high quality seed and hemp base in the middle of August, and promote the cooperation of the conditional ramie enterprises with the relevant regions and take the raw materials, self harvesting and self using materials.

It can not only improve the quality of raw materials, but also stabilize the price of raw materials and control the cost.

At the same time, we should speed up the application and popularization of ramie harvester and stripper, so as to better solve the problem of time consuming and labor intensity.

In mid July this year, we will open a Chinese textile culture park in Longgang District of Shenzhen.

The sale window of the textile enterprises can be selected to facilitate retail, wholesale and order, and cultivate the domestic market of cotton textile.

In mid October this year, a product designer meeting will be held in Zhoushan to discuss product design.

At the end of this year, the "China linen textile raw material Specialized Committee" will be set up so as to enhance ties and do raw materials work.
