Raw Materials Rose &Nbsp; Embarrassment In Yarn Industry.

However, due to raw materials

The price of raw materials is rising, and the burden of enterprises is heavier.

Shandong province has always been one of the main cotton producing areas in China. However, the development of cotton industry in this area is not optimistic in recent years.

In early August 2010, Shen Xiangfu, the villager of the East Jin Fu Zhai village in Zhengzhai Town, Lingxian County, Shandong, stood on the ridge of his own home and gazed thoughtfully at the few acres of cotton field in front of him.

Since last year, Shen Xiangfu has adjusted the structure of his agricultural industry as well as most of the villagers in the same village.

His family now has 15 mu of cultivated land, all of which used to grow cotton in the past.

This year, only 3 mu of cotton has been planted, and the rest have been replanted to grain crops.

For habitual cotton planted for decades, Shen Xiangfu still had some feelings and some souvenir, so he retained 3 acres of cotton fields.

Some villagers changed their farmland.

The direct cause of this change is the rapid increase of grain prices in the market.

Compared with the grain value after price increase, planting cotton can not bring higher economic benefits.

Although we all know that the price of cotton will increase this year due to the decrease of planting area.

However, because of the technical management requirements, pest control and labor input, all of them are much more complicated and costly than planting grain.

Therefore, farmers generally prefer to grow grain.

Secondly, the shortage of young and middle-aged workers is also an important reason.

As we all know, it takes a lot of time and labor to plant cotton from seedling to field management, large medicine to kill pests and diseases, until the last harvest of cotton bolls.

From the cotton harvest season every year, it is easy for us to imagine the bitterness of the phenomenon that the number of mainland migrant workers flocking to Xinjiang cotton region to pick cotton bolls.

It is normal for rural young migrant workers to go out to work.

Faced with such dilemmas, many cotton farmers chose to give up.

In addition, the frequent natural disasters in recent years have also hit the cotton farmers' enthusiasm for production to a certain extent.

Take Shandong cotton area in 2009 as an example. At that time, it was just in the mature season, and a sudden large range of rainfall caused the waterlogging of cotton fields.

The situation of cotton reduction is quite serious. Cotton growers will soon be destroyed in the face of the coming victory.

So many people began to think about the problem of structural adjustment of agricultural industry.

To sum up, there are few farmers who have planted cotton in some villages in most of the traditional cotton regions in China.

The decrease of cotton growers' enthusiasm and the reduction of cotton planting scale directly led to the decline of cotton production this year.

At the same time, due to the bottleneck of railway pport capacity, it objectively affects Xinjiang's cotton entering the mainland market.

In addition, India's ban on cotton export registration has continued to affect China's cotton yarn market.

As a result, the cotton market is in short supply.

As a result, the rapidity and sustainability of cotton prices have risen.

One side is the sharp rise in raw material prices, while the downstream of the yarn industry, the cotton spinning and grey fabric industry collectively says "no" to the possible rise in the price of cotton yarn.

In fact, most yarn enterprises did not pay much attention to this problem at the beginning of cotton price rising.

Because many yarn enterprises have a certain number of low price cotton stocks.

According to their ideas at that time, it is almost impossible for cotton to go up all the time.

During that time, the volume of cotton market trading has shrunk, but cotton prices have been rising unexpectedly.

This situation has been maintained until May 2010, when raw material inventory of yarn enterprises is basically exhausted.

As a result, yarn enterprises began to raise prices gradually.

The rising price of cotton yarn has a direct impact on the downstream cotton spinning and grey fabric industry.

Although many people in the industry think that the price rise of cotton yarn is just a farce.

However, in the face of the high price of cotton yarn, the more production of grey cloth enterprises, the more serious the loss is.

The fundamental reason for the loss of grey fabric enterprises is from its downstream garment industry.

Under the situation that the international financial situation is not stable and there may even be a two dip, exports of clothing, especially high-end clothing, are still difficult.

Therefore, the sales price of grey cloth enterprises can not rise with the upstream yarn prices.

As a result, most of the grey fabrics and cotton textile enterprises began to cut production, and some small and medium-sized enterprises even stopped production.

At the same time, some enterprises have reduced the purchase amount of cotton yarn instead of cheap polyester yarn, and the market purchase of polyester yarn is quite popular at present.

Under the dual attack of the upstream and downstream industries, the stock of China's yarn industry began to increase sharply, and sales began to shrink.

Poor cohesion, rising labor costs, enterprises have to face the problem.

At present, almost all enterprises in China's yarn industry are faced with a shortage of skilled workers.

This is a headache for many yarn enterprises. The reasons for this situation are manifold, but the lack of cohesion in yarn enterprises is one of the main reasons.

The cohesive force of an enterprise refers to the state of solidarity among all the employees of an enterprise. The recognition of all employees towards a common enterprise goal or enterprise leader is the embodiment of the basic idea of the enterprise in everyone's mind.

The size of cohesion has a very important impact on the efficiency, interests and long-term development of enterprises.

Strong corporate cohesion is also the fundamental way to prevent frequent turnover of skilled workers.

Since 2010, more than 10 provinces and autonomous regions such as Guangdong, Shandong and Jilin have raised the minimum wage standard, with an average increase of about 17%. China has entered the minimum wage adjustment year.

This is the national policy environment, and its impact on the yarn industry can be seen as an example of the truck drivers.

In coastal Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, in 2008, the monthly salary of a skilled worker with strong working ability was around 2500 yuan.

Now, the same truck drivers, the monthly salary has risen to more than 3200 yuan.

There are also reports that the winding up of some enterprises has reached around 5000 per month.

In sharp contrast to high wages, there is still a serious shortage of first-line skilled workers in the yarn industry.

The reasons are nothing more than a few aspects. First, the structure of migrant workers has changed.

80 and 90 have become the main force in the working group.

These so-called "two generations of migrant workers" have read a little book and have a little culture. There are obvious differences between their parents in their ways of thinking and dealing with problems.

Their outlook on life and values are no longer confined to earning money from work, and going home to repair their houses and take wives.

More is pformed into the idea of enjoying life and living in the present.

Most of them are unwilling to work hard and do not want to learn a skill step by step.

This leads to the weakness of the technical and practical labor force, which is one of the main reasons for the shortage of labor in the yarn industry.

In the old saying, "the people are in disorder, the team is bad."

Second, most of the yarn enterprises are not satisfied with the working environment.

As mentioned above, they can get about 5000 blocks per month, and their work is very bad.

Working hours are at least 14 hours per day, and high can reach 16 or 7 hours. It can be said that except for eating and sleeping, they are concentrating on their work in front of the machine.

In addition, some yarn enterprises from outside, garden style factory is very beautiful.

However, the production environment in the workshop is not satisfactory, and the ventilation is poor.

Obviously, it is a look of "gold and jade".

In fact, some enterprises have installed air conditioners in the workshop.

But because of capital investment and operation cost, such enterprises are rare.

Nowadays, many workers are very concerned about the working environment before entering the factory.

Even some of the operators said that the enterprises that did not install air-conditioning did not consider going.

Most of the owners of Chinese yarn enterprises believe that employees will stay as long as wages are enough.

This is also true, but not all factors.

Good production, living environment and good corporate culture are the reasons for the loss of employees in an enterprise.

Unfortunately, the yarn industry still stays at the stage of "primary school students" in the construction of enterprise culture and enterprise cohesion.

For a yarn enterprise, the core is "human". If we can put many people's strength together and point to the same direction together, then the enterprise will be half successful.

Condensation, condensation polymerization is also called centripetal bonding.

Enterprises should let their employees feel that they have a sense of belonging and a sense of mission, so the reserve forces of the enterprises will gradually become sufficient.

The problem of the shortage of skilled labor is easily solved.

In addition, there has been a lack of effective communication between the textile industry in China, the middle and lower reaches for a long time, especially in fiber and fabric enterprises.

Among them, especially the yarn industry and garment enterprises, consumers communication is rare, very rare.

Chinese yarn enterprises only have direct contact with fabric enterprises in marketing, and their means are single.

Sales channels mainly rely on salesmen to sell door-to-door or old customers to place orders.

Maintaining such a situation for a long time has made it difficult to enhance the popularity of yarn enterprises, and the brand of yarn products is difficult to form.

In fact, as the source of fiber production enterprises, there is every reason and responsibility to publicize the characteristics and advantages of their own yarns to clothing enterprises and consumers.

As long as the market terminals recognize their products, the downstream fabric companies will naturally come to the market and worry about the sales volume.

Yarn enterprises can also be more active in opening up new products and technologies, so that the overall innovation and competitiveness of the yarn industry can be improved.

The industry has entered a healthy development track.

Fortunately, in recent years, various kinds of yarn exhibitions have sprung up everywhere in China.

To a certain extent, it has played the role of industry windows, ties and platforms to provide better opportunities for new products and technologies to further promote cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises.

But generally speaking, the marketing methods and concepts of the yarn industry are still obviously insufficient for other industries in the textile and garment industry chain, and need further improvement.

Pioneering and innovating, improving quality level, and enterprises can not evade the problem.

Although China's yarn industry is facing enormous pressure.

However, throughout the whole yarn industry, there are still different enterprises, showing vitality.

In July 2010, chatting with a boss of a cotton mill in Zhejiang, he found that he had laughed at the difficulties in the yarn industry.

There is quite a sense of "talking and laughing."

I was amazed at his reasons.

It turned out that he launched a set of "colored spinning" production lines the year before last.

{page_break}

The so-called "colored spun yarn" is changed from original "first spinning and after dyeing" to "first dyeing, then spinning".

After the reversal of the industrial process, the epoch-making changes are reflected in dyeing.

Dyed from the most primitive grey cloth and yarn, replaced by fiber dyeing.

Subsequently, during the spinning process, different colors of fibers are fully and evenly mixed, and a unique color will be obtained and the effect of "space mixing" will be presented.

Moreover, after the color spun yarn is made into garments, its color is implicit, natural and hazy. This natural and returning style is in line with the modern individualized, diversified and fashionable clothing development trend and consumption trend.

The appearance of "colored spun yarn" has improved the grade of yarn industry.

Although "colored spinning" is recognized as a professional category with high technical content and difficult management in the textile industry.

However, in the face of the adverse situation of raw material prices, the Zhejiang cotton mill owner who invested in the construction of the "colored spinning" production line ahead of schedule has obviously benefited greatly.

Although the price of cotton and ordinary yarn has increased a lot, the "colored spinning" has little impact, and the selling price is basically stable and sales are relatively normal.

The reason is that the market share of "colored spinning" is relatively small, and there are few manufacturers and little competition.

In addition, since last year, "colored spinning" has been selling well, and the added value of the product is much higher than that of natural yarn.

Therefore, the price increase of cotton has little effect on the cost of colored spun yarn.

This is also the fundamental reason for the confidence of the Zhejiang cotton mill owner and the ability to work well in the surging yarn market.

Businessmen, after all, are businessmen and are concerned about the sales and profits of their products.

The Zhejiang boss has no long-term view on the overall development of the industry, or he has never considered it.

However, the investment in industrial innovation and high technology has brought benefits to him and made him taste the sweetness.

In addition to "colored spun yarn", the "high viscose filament" and "high count yarn" and other high technology products in the yarn industry have sprung up and are leading the industry.

Therefore, continuous R & D is the driving force for the development of yarn enterprises.

At the same time, it is also an important guarantee for a yarn enterprise to become bigger and stronger.

However, the overall quality level of China's yarn industry is still somewhat different from that of advanced foreign enterprises.

Take cotton yarn as an example, what worries the downstream enterprises most is the serious problem of yarn fuzzing.

It is understood that the fundamental reason for this quality problem is mainly due to the failure of yarn twist, density and spinning process.

Secondly, because the price of raw materials has been at a high level, some cotton mills began to cut corners and use some inferior raw materials to produce.

For example, inferior cotton is not strictly enforced in quality standards in picking, harvesting, and the next series of links, resulting in excessive cotton linen.

The number of neps not only affects the appearance quality of yarns and grey fabrics, but also directly affects the dyeing effect of fabrics, resulting in dyeing defects. As people's requirements for the appearance quality of textiles are getting higher and higher, neps have been listed as important defects in yarn quality control.

In addition, the content of profiled fibers and immature fibers in raw materials is also an important factor affecting yarn quality.

Profiled fibers refer to other fibers whose properties are different. Raw materials mixed with these different dyed fibers will cause dyeing defects in downstream processes such as knitted fabrics and woven fabrics.

The immature fiber refers to the thin wall of the fiber, the large medium cavity, no rotation, and the fiber with a strip of cotton fiber.

The uneven distribution of immature fibers in the spinning process will lead to the appearance of pverse defects in the grey fabric. The lower the content of the immature fibers, the more the dyeing properties of the fibers are, the less the dyeing defects.

Moreover, the overall lag of the equipment performance of domestic yarn enterprises is one of the factors that cause yarn quality problems.

In general, the yarn industry in China is facing considerable challenges under the pressure of rising raw materials, increasing labor costs and unpredictable international markets.

However, hope is still there and the future is still bright.

Under the background of the rapid and comprehensive development of China's economy, the yarn industry must increase its R & D efforts and continuously introduce new products and technologies.

At the same time, all enterprises in the industry should strictly control the quality, and the relevant functional departments should strengthen supervision and inspection.

After the current baptism of wind and rain, China's yarn industry will surely usher in a bright tomorrow.
