Cotton Prices Fluctuate, Xinjiang Wins Quality Battles

In December 28, 2010, another week.

Since October, the chief of the supervision and inspection section of the autonomous region Fiber Inspection Bureau has been running around the major cotton producing areas in Xinjiang.

However, Yang Peiming's mood is pleasant: although cotton prices fluctuate in the cotton market this year, there is no systematic, regional and malignant quality problem in Xinjiang. The inspection team has been tested.

In this tough cotton quality battle, they won the battle.

In 2010 7 and August, domestic cotton spot and futures rose.

After the listing of new cotton in October, the situation of domestic and international cotton supply and demand has changed significantly. The price of seed cotton has gone up rapidly, fluctuated rapidly, the market risk has further increased, and the cotton market order and quality situation is grim.

This has caused great impact on cotton quality supervision and cotton quality inspection system reform in our region.

According to Yang Peiming, in the acquisition of cotton in our region,

The overall situation of cotton purchase in 2010 is "production reduction, quality worry", high price, large flow, difficult supervision and high risk.

Yang Peiming said that the situation posed a challenge to us, and a cotton quality defense war started.

Regulatory authorities timely "sword"

In view of the cotton market situation in 2010, the autonomous region carried out the general mobilization of cotton quality defense in a timely manner.

In September, according to the arrangement and deployment of the CSB and the autonomous region, the regional inspection bureau of the autonomous region promptly convened the regional cotton quality supervision and law enforcement anti-counterfeiting conference, and promptly issued the notice on quality supervision and inspection during the acquisition and processing of cotton.

The autonomous region Quality Supervision Bureau and the Autonomous Region Bureau of industry and Commerce jointly carry out the centralized management of cotton market management and quality supervision in the region.

In November, the Quality Supervision Bureau of the autonomous region held a video conference on Further Strengthening cotton quality supervision in Korla, and put forward five concrete measures, such as strengthening the later management of cotton production, strengthening the cotton market and quality management, stabilizing the purchase price of cotton, strengthening the propaganda and guidance of the market, and strengthening the safety management of cotton, etc., and played a positive role in maintaining market order, stabilizing cotton prices, ensuring cotton quality, maintaining cotton farmers' income and healthy development of cotton industry.

In this battle, the fiber inspection bureau of the autonomous region and the fiber inspection institution of various prefectures and cities became the "leader."

Since the launch of new cotton, the regional inspection bureau has dispatched more than 20 comprehensive inspection and inspection teams and special inspection teams to the whole of Xinjiang to carry out continuous and uninterrupted supervision and inspection.

Up to now, a total of 5925 inspectors have been dispatched in the region, and 1622 factories have been inspecting and purchasing processing enterprises. They have checked and inspecting 1231 cotton farmers, 3 million 910 thousand kilograms, and 1096 cotton seed pits, weighing 180 thousand tons.

130 cases of illegal quality inspection of cotton were investigated, including 47 cases of illegal sexual fibre, 35 cases of grade purchase failed to be determined according to the standard, 5 cases of defective cotton and 5 cases of cotton purchase, 10 cases of incomplete Quality Labeling, 12 cases of false high grade, etc.

The autonomous region's fiber inspection system concentrates on the development of the five points for remediation in the Kashi area and the junction of the kirziz Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, the acquisition and processing center of the acussie bridge, the collection and processing of cotton processing sites in Wusu, Kuitun and Dushanzi, and the rectification areas in the agricultural one division and Bachu counties. The cotton purchasing and processing enterprises in key areas are checked one by one.

We should focus on the problems of super water cotton, foreign fiber and virtual high grade, and punish the illegal elements in order to deterrent illegal elements.

Li Yan, director of the autonomous region's Bureau of silk inspection, said that through supervision and inspection and special rectification in key areas, the cotton purchase and processing order in the whole region is basically normal this year, and the quality is basically stable. No major, systematic, regional and vicious cases of quality violation have occurred.

This year, the Xinjiang fiber inspection work has also stood the test. From the bulletin of the Bureau, the quality of cotton inspection in Xinjiang has increased significantly this year. The coincidence rate of average grade, average length coincidence rate and average length uniformity rate of all laboratories in the region are higher than the national average.

The coincidence rates of 3 laboratories in Kuche, Akesu and Shihezi were all higher than the national average, and ranked the top three in 68 laboratories nationwide.

Up to now, 1 national cotton quality supervision sampling laboratories and 20 instruments notarization laboratory have been built in the region, equipped with 173 HVI detectors.

The laboratories have overcome the adverse effects of the cotton situation on the public inspection work this year, and strive to improve the coverage of public inspection and the amount of public inspection.

At present, the volume of public inspection has exceeded 1 million 500 thousand tons, accounting for 76% of the national public inspection volume. The inspection coverage covers all cotton producing areas in the region.

Serious problems for a long time

However, behind joy and pride, Li Yan raised his own worries again.

The autonomous region fiber inspection bureau is currently facing 40% cotton quality supervision in the whole country and 20 public inspection laboratories in the whole region.

Especially in last year's complicated cotton situation, the quality supervision work is more arduous, and the pressure of improving the coverage rate and quality of public inspection is huge. At present, the management system and working mode are not fully adapted to the needs of the situation.

Li Yan pondered over how to further rationalize the mechanism, strengthen the building of his own ability, and establish a strong quality, disciplined, and capable team to fight, so as to safeguard the healthy development of Xinjiang cotton industry.

In Xinjiang, cotton is a pillar industry for the development of rural economy, and is also one of the main channels for increasing farmers' income.

According to Wang Shaoning, Deputy Secretary General of the people's Government of the autonomous region, under the strong support of the state, the autonomous region has developed the cotton industry around the high quality, high yield and low cost. The cotton output per unit area, total production and commodity allocation ranks first in the country for 17 consecutive years. Now it has become the largest quality cotton production base and the only long staple cotton production base in China.

In recent years, the cotton planting area in our district has been reduced to about 20 million mu, and the output is controlled at about 2 million 500 thousand tons.

The autonomous region has put forward the policy of adhering to improved varieties, scientific planting, increasing yield per unit area, saving water and increasing efficiency, and processing value-added. It has mainly supported the development of high quality and high yield cotton area and suitable cotton area, increased the construction of high quality cotton base, and formed stable cotton comprehensive production capacity.

Reporters learned that in the past five years, our cotton quality inspection system reform has also made some achievements.

At present, the role of the new system of cotton public inspection certificate has been gradually highlighted. Many famous brands of cotton have sprung up in the region, which are both popular and the price advantage is obvious. It also speeds up the pace of merger and reorganization of cotton processing and production enterprises in our region, and promotes the development of cotton industrialization, intensification and informatization.

Li Yan said that despite this, the quality of cotton in Xinjiang is still a serious problem to face in the future, and cotton quality supervision must be further strengthened.
