Rescue Of Flax Damaged In Zhangjiagang Bonded Area

In July, people worried that the rear end of motor vehicles almost became the focus of the major media. In the face of heartbreaking scenes, people are constantly asking questions: is our quality and management increasing at the same time when social development is speeding up?

Also in July, this rainy season occurred in the textile industry, causing people to ask and ponder over this issue again.

In the middle of July, the sudden heavy rain made the flax raw materials stored in the warehouse of Zhangjiagang Free Trade Zone hit by floods, and heavy losses were caused by more than 30 enterprises at home and abroad. Nearly more than 18000 tons of flax raw materials in the 486 containers were soaked in flood, of which 12000 tons were in the walrun warehouse, 6000 tons in other warehouses, and two warehouses were damaged to varying degrees. A total of more than 30 Chinese and foreign enterprises, including France, Belgium, Holland and other foreign-funded enterprises 9, Heilongjiang, Beijing, Hebei, Anhui, Zhejiang and other places, more than 20 flax backbone enterprises, according to preliminary estimates of direct economic losses at present.

What is even more worrying is that after several days of disaster, the disaster is continuing and further aggravating. A large number of flax raw materials are still immersed in floods. Hot hot weather and hot and humid warehouse environment can easily cause the spontaneous combustion of flax raw materials. Once the accident happens, the consequences will be unthinkable and the loss will be more immeasurable. Therefore, the disaster hit enterprises are burning with anxiety and urge the parties concerned to take decisive measures to save flax raw materials.

Flax raw material Shortage has been plaguing the industry. With the acceleration of global economic integration and industrial transfer, China has become a major producer of flax products in the world, but flax materials can not be self-sufficient and still need to import large quantities. The Zhangjiagang free trade zone is China's largest linen raw material import and export base and raw materials distribution center. Only the raw materials currently stored here account for nearly 20% of the total annual import volume of flax raw materials, which has a decisive impact on China and even the world's Linen Industry.

In recent years, due to the world economic crisis and the slow economic recovery in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the earthquake in Japan, the political situation in North Africa and the Middle East, and other international factors, coupled with domestic macroeconomic regulation and control, RMB appreciation, monetary tightening and energy shortages, China's flax industry is in the predicament of rising raw material prices and falling prices of products, and production and operation are very difficult. This disaster is no doubt a plus for China's Linen Industry.

Zhangjiagang has its unique geographical advantages, and the local government and customs rely on China and foreign countries. Flax enterprise The consistent support and good service has made it an important linen raw material import and export base and raw material distribution center. When a disaster happens, when the enterprise is eager to get the support and help from the government and customs, it is urgent for the parties concerned to be anxious about the urgency of the enterprise and reflect the service consciousness and management level of the relevant departments.

Indeed, in the first place, we should increase disaster relief efforts to minimize the losses of the disaster hit enterprises, which not only directly related to the stable development of China's Linen Industry, but also tested the management and service level of Zhangjiagang free trade zone. Under the circumstances of the disaster, the China hemp textile industry association, along with the disaster hit enterprises, issued a request to the Zhangjiagang bonded area and the relevant departments, and urged the government, customs and other departments to take measures to introduce policies and increase disaster relief efforts.

On the one hand, it requests the government and the bonded area management committee to quickly organize the power to arrange for human and vehicle to strike and move the Treasury, and take measures to reduce the humidity of the damaged goods, reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion of materials and the two rain disasters, guarantee the safety of the bonded area, and strive to minimize the losses. On the other hand, we request the Zhangjiagang customs to do special work to speed up the release rate and disperse the linen raw material as soon as possible, and supervise the original box supervision. The competent enterprises will first clear the damaged goods, speed up the clearance, and reassess the value of goods according to the degree of disaster, so as to minimize the loss of enterprises. For the goods failing to be cleared, the specific amount should be determined according to the extent of the disaster, and relevant certificates can be issued to facilitate the enterprises to reduce the loss when they cancel the foreign exchange.

At the same time, the government and the CMC should be invited to play a coordinating role in coordinating with the relevant competent departments and warehousing enterprises to announce the compensation scheme for the damaged flax raw materials as soon as possible, so that the losses of the disaster affected enterprises can be properly compensated, so as to further establish the reliable linen material management, the reputation and image of the butler of the textile raw materials market in Zhangjiagang, and continue to become the linen raw material storage base for many textile enterprises, at the same time, it also urges the enterprises to take effective measures to save themselves and further reduce the economic losses and possible risks under the condition of clear responsibilities.

After the disaster, the trade association played an active role in taking the lead in setting up the Zhangjiagang free trade zone. Flax raw materials The compensation committee will make the compensation work organized and step by step, so as to protect the enterprise from being or less suffered. Xu Jixiang, chairman of China Textile Industry Association, serves as the chairman of the compensation committee, and all the injured enterprises are members of the compensation committee.

The disaster situation is extremely urgent. The industry associations and enterprises have strongly appealed to the government and customs. The relevant departments have made decisions on the relocation of raw materials for flood disaster in Zhangjiagang bonded area. Since July 20th, the damaged enterprises have begun to move the storehouse, put the intact raw materials in a safe warehouse, and put the damaged raw materials into the original warehouse for ventilation and drying to reduce the loss. So far, the "lifeline" of Chinese flax enterprises has been guaranteed.

The danger has finally passed, but a series of problems remain in the author's mind: as an important national bonded area, the facilities for storage and waterproofing, fire prevention and other facilities are sound and perfect; whether emergency measures for disasters are effective; whether disaster prevention and rescue measures are effective and in place. Relative to the positive response to help, can the competent authorities take effective measures at the first time to prevent and mitigate the disaster? Is it more valuable and more desirable?
