Silk Industry Revived China

China is the birthplace of silk, and it has a history of nearly 7000 years.

Silk production and

The cocoon and silk industry is a dominant industry in China. Cocoon and silk production, supply and marketing are a long industrial chain. From silkworm production, cocoon collection, cocoon drying, silk and clothing production to sales both at home and abroad, they are closely linked and closely related. A certain link will have an impact on the whole situation and cause great losses to the cocoon and silk industry.

For a long time, China's cocoon and silk industry has been managed by the Ministry of agriculture and forestry, the supply and marketing cooperative, the former Ministry of textile industry, the Ministry of Commerce and the foreign trade department.

For example, in 1974, the output of cocoons and silk continued to increase, but exports declined sharply because of the sluggish international market. Compared with 1973, silk exports dropped by 47%, and silk exports dropped by 35%, resulting in a large backlog of cocoons and silk.

The departments concerned claimed to solve the problem, and finally had to take measures taken by the State Council to take the measures other than to supplement them, so as to alleviate the backlog of cocoon silk by reducing the price of cocoon silk for domestic sale and expanding domestic demand.

After this incident, practitioners believe that it is urgent to improve the management system of cocoon silk.

By January 1978, the Ministry of agriculture and forestry,

Under the leadership of Comrade Chen Guodong, the preparatory group of China Silk Corporation was set up to conduct consultations with all departments and major production areas, conduct research on the management mode of cocoon and silk industry at home and abroad, draft the articles of association, and so on. In October 10, 1979, it published a report on the proposal to set up a silk specialized company, vigorously develop silk production and expand silk export.

In March 14, 1980, the State Council approved the report of the finance and trade group with the document No. 1980 issued by the State Council (No. 65), and agreed to set up the Chinese silk company.

Later, when the CPPCC and the National People's Congress met, representatives from the silk industry called for the reform of the cocoon silk management system and the establishment of a silk professional company.

After Comrade Chen Guodong was pferred to the Shanghai municipal Party committee, comrade Wang Lei, the finance and Trade Commission of the State Council, was ordered to continue to be responsible for the preparatory work of the silk company.

Under the careful preparation of the finance and trade group, the Chinese silk company has been recognized by the relevant ministries and provinces and municipalities. Because the participation of the agricultural sector is not yet mature, the silk company has been pformed into a company that integrates industry, commerce and trade.

In July 30, 1981, the State Council adjustment office reported "establishing a national nature".

After the establishment of the China silk company, due to unified management, smooth operation of all sectors of production, supply and marketing, problems were quickly resolved in the interior, and production and sales rose rapidly. In the 5 years from 1982 to 1986, the total output value of silk industry increased by 69.7%, the output of silk increased by 26.12%, the output of silk increased by 79.8%, that of silk exports increased by 58.32%, that of silk exports increased by 63.63%, that of silk exports increased by 18.64%, and that of garments increased by 135.65%.

With the gradual deepening of reform and opening up, the planned economy is gradually replaced by the market economy, and private enterprises are also gradually rising.

In 1987, the State Council withdrew from the economic development situation and withdrew the Chinese silk company. However, the mode of unified management of production, supply and marketing has been used. Many state-run and private silk enterprises mostly adopted the practice of integrating industry, commerce and trade, and the integration of agriculture, industry and commerce, and received better economic benefits.

Over the years, China's silk trade pattern has been constantly adjusted along with the change of market demand. It not only brings good economic benefits to the country, but also promotes the rapid development of the industry.

However, we should also see that in recent years, China's silk products have gradually declined in international competition, not only with Italy's silk products, but also exported to Japan and India.

The development of silk as a treasure of China is the aspiration of our old textile people, and it should also be the focus of attention in the 12th Five-Year plan of the industry.
