A Brief Account Of Shanxi'S Textile Industry: Awkward "Less Than 1%"

This year, two pieces of news have left Shanxi neglected for many years. Textile industry Once again, return to people's perspective.

One is: in January 15th, from the intermediate people's Court of Jinzhong, it was reported that the bankruptcy of Shanxi Jinhua textile factory, which has a history of nearly 100 years, has been approved.

The other is: in March, Shanxi oasis Textile Co., Ltd. and Taiyuan University of Technology completed the two prize of the National Technological Invention Award, which is the interface physics and chemistry research of the antibacterial fiber material functionalization process. This is the only award for Shanxi's textile industry.

The decline of a century's industry

Founded in 1919, Shanxi Jinhua textile factory, once one of the 34 key enterprises in the province, is now in debt of about 430000000 yuan, with a debt ratio of 230%. Bankruptcy has become the only way out for enterprises.

"Bankruptcy is an important step for the state-owned enterprises to repair themselves and get rid of their burdens. Although there are too many pains and too much discontent, it is unbroken."

From 50s to early 90s, Shan, Shan, Shan Mao and other textile units were young people looking for jobs.

"In 1980, the Shanxi textile printing and dyeing mill had a net profit of 13 million yuan a year." An old worker of Shan textile recalled, "the" mountain spinning "was once a famous state-owned enterprise in the planned economy period, almost supporting the half of the textile industry in Shanxi, but now few textile enterprises in Taiyuan can run normally.

The textile industry is the earliest industry in China's market opening up, and also the most competitive industry. "Before the 80s of the last century, our province has always been a textile export province. Most of the enterprises are state-owned enterprises. Even after the restructuring, half of the enterprises are state-owned, but most of these state-owned enterprises can only live on leasing equipment and factories. The most fundamental reason for this situation is that its system and burden are too heavy." Minister Jia told reporters.

Reporters learned that Mountain spinning After bankruptcy in 1996, it was renamed Xin Kai textile printing and dyeing Co., Ltd. after reorganization. By 2008, the new fortune was particularly difficult. Once it was reorganized, its nature has completely transformed into a private enterprise. Although the mountain needle has undergone restructuring and reorganization, it is still in a state of discontinued production. This is also true of Taiyuan's first wool textile mill and Shanxi polyester factory. Besides, the fate of Jiexiu textile mill and Xinjiang textile mill is also hard to escape.

Awkward "less than 1%"

Before the reform and opening up, the textile industry is also a pillar industry in our province's industrial economy. "At that time, Shanxi was transferred to the province in the industry, that is, it can not be used up, but the ability to tune it out is still relatively large." Li Jinwang, director of Shanxi textile management office.

Since the 30 years of reform and opening up, the textile industry of our province has made great progress, but its position in the province's economy is getting lighter. It is understood that the proportion of textile industry in the province's economy is less than 1%, while in the past planned economy era, it was close to 10%.

Our textile industry has a long history. Compared with other coastal areas, it has a comparative advantage in terms of labor, energy, land and other productive factors. In addition, the largest textile machinery production base in China is located in Jinzhong, our province. There are unique conditions for developing the cotton textile industry. However, the reality is not satisfactory.

After the reform and opening up, Shanxi has some unique conditions, such as mineral resources. Abundant resources Among other factors, the focus of the industrial economy has become the energy heavy chemical industry, and the textile industry is no longer the focus.

Because of the gradual weakening of policy support, private capital is reluctant to invest in this industry. " Li Jinwang said, "the reason why our textile industry is facing such a dilemma is closely related to the industrial policy orientation of our province."

"Compared with iron and steel, coal mines and other dominant industries, our textile industry is negligible. Now, people seem to have forgotten that there is also a textile industry in Shanxi. Li Jinwang shook his head helplessly.

The contrast between the famous textile machinery industry and the lack of textile industry

The textile machinery industry in any domestic city can not be compared with the Yuci District of Jinzhong.

The textile machinery industry in Yuci originated in the 50s of last century. The state-owned Jingwei Textile machinery plant was put into operation. "After 95, with the radiation and drive of Jingwei plant, a private textile enterprise assembly and processing group is gradually emerging in the economic and Technological Development Zone and Yuci district." Provincial Electrical and mechanical industry office, a person in charge told reporters.

At present, there are 248 private textile machinery enterprises in the area, of which 6 are large scale production enterprises, 30 are specialized production enterprises, and the rest are accessories processing enterprises. Yuci textile machinery achieves sales revenue of about 4000000000 yuan and employs about 100 thousand people in the year. The textile machinery industry has become a pillar industry in the region with a large number of employees, mature technology, high equipment, export-oriented economy, and very promising industrial prospects.

However, the "aircraft carrier" made by textile machinery has not brought much impetus to the downstream textile industry. Compared with the growth of Asia's largest textile base in Shaoxing for just over 20 years, the development of Shanxi's textile industry is so green and "malnourished".

According to the statistical bulletin of Shanxi's national economic and social development released in 2009, the province's cotton planting area in 2009 was 70 thousand and 200 hectares, which was reduced by 1 million 50 thousand mu, a decrease of 2.12% compared with the same period last year, and the total output of cotton was 84 thousand tons, with a reduction of 21.5%. Over the scale, the volume of spinning was 38 thousand tons, down 22.7% compared to the same period last year, weaving 31 million 263 thousand meters, down 58.7% compared with the same period last year, and the output of chemical fiber was 8878.4 tons, down 70.6% from the same period last year.

In a river separated by Shaanxi, total cotton output decreased by 15% in 2009, but the spinning volume increased by 20.9%.

From the data, what we see is that the textile industry in Shanxi is still embarrassed and is still shrinking.
