Five Years After The Great Power Of Cotton Textile Industry

The seventh China International Cotton Textile Conference, which will be held in Yancheng, Jiangsu in from October 16th to 17th, coincides with the opening year of China's implementation of the 12th Five-Year development plan. There is no doubt that the development goals and ways of development of China's cotton textile industry in the next five years will be one of the main topics of this China's International Cotton Textile Conference.

On the topic of development focus and development mode of China's cotton textile industry during the "12th Five-Year" period, I interviewed Zhu Beina, President of China Cotton Textile Industry Association.

Take the road of reducing quantity and increasing efficiency

After more than 10 years of rapid development, our country

Zhu Beina, President of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, said that during the "12th Five-Year" period, the cotton textile industry should work hard to realize the pformation of the mode of economic development in line with the principles of scientific development and sustainable development.

In the next five years, China's cotton textile industry should shift from the emphasis on economic growth in the past to paying more attention to economic restructuring, paying more attention to the adjustment of economic development mode, promoting industrial pfer, giving full play to regional advantages, improving the ability of resource integration and utilization, optimizing regional distribution, focusing on improving international competitiveness and speeding up the pace of moving from textile power to textile power.

Rational layout of cotton spinning production capacity

Zhu Beina said that the cotton textile industry is an important basic industry in China's textile industry.

During the "11th Five-Year" period, the cotton textile industry under the double promotion of technological progress and market demand, the scale of industry expanded rapidly, and the equipment level and economic efficiency were effectively promoted.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, the cotton textile industry will promote industrial pfer and optimize the layout with emphasis and gradient, promote regional coordinated development, and pform the cotton textile industry from scale growth to benefit growth.

From the perspective of the scale of production, according to the statistics of the National Bureau of statistics, 2010

From the perspective of regional distribution, Zhu Beina believes that the development of the central and western regions should be promoted, and regional coordinated development should be promoted so as to reduce the bottleneck of unbalanced development.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, cotton spinning capacity should be pferred to the central and western regions with resources and labor support.

Zhu Beina said that Xinjiang autonomous region has the advantage of cotton raw material resources, and the size of cotton spinning spindles is about 7 million spindles, and cotton processing volume does not exceed 700 thousand tons.

The central region, such as Henan, Hubei, Hebei, Jiangxi, Hunan and so on, takes the undertaking of industrial pfer as the main task.

Making new contributions to the national economy

Zhu Beina emphasized: for the development of the upstream and downstream industries, the balance of foreign exchange for the state, the accumulation of funds for the state, and the contribution of a large number of employment to the state, it will still be an important task for the cotton textile industry of China during the "12th Five-Year" period.

China's large population, huge market and great potential for domestic demand are the great advantages of our development.

Zhu Beina said, from the perspective of consumption demand, the next ten years, a series of policies of benefiting the country will help to stimulate the consumption ability of the middle and low income groups and the rural population.

According to the data released by the China Textile Industry Association, the processing volume of textile fiber in 2010 was 41 million 300 thousand tons, and domestic consumption was more than 60%, and domestic fiber consumption was about 25 million tons per year.

Considering the finiteness of cotton resources, the rapid growth of chemical fiber consumption and the decreasing proportion of cotton fiber consumption, the absolute value of per capita cotton fiber consumption is expected to increase year by year.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, per capita consumption of textile fiber will reach 19 kg, and cotton type fiber consumption will account for 51%, and per capita consumption of cotton fiber will reach 12 kg.

Speaking of the goal of foreign exchange earning in the cotton textile industry during the "12th Five-Year" period, Zhu Beina said that the export of cotton textile products and the export volume of textile products will still be synchronized and coordinated.

Cotton made textiles and garments, cotton textiles and cotton garments earn 7.5% yuan, 7% and 10% per year for the target of 110 billion US dollars, US $32 billion and US $88 billion respectively.

Among them, the number of yarn exports increased by 2% annually, the number of exports of pure cotton and blended fabrics increased by 5% annually, and the number of exports of colored fabrics (including DENIM) increased by 2% annually.

As the world's consumption of cotton products is decreasing, domestic consumption is also increasing. By 2015, the total export yarn will reach 5 million 500 thousand ~580 million tons.

Zhu Beina said that during the "12th Five-Year" period, the profitability of cotton spinning industry will also steadily increase on the basis of "11th Five-Year".

Since 2000, the profits of the industry have been growing at an annual rate of 27%. It is predicted that the average annual growth will be around 15% in 2015.

The output value of cotton type ton fiber (calculated at present value) is aimed at improving labour productivity, increasing from 56 thousand and 500 yuan in 2010 to 100 thousand yuan in 2015.

Sustainable development runs through all the time.

"If the rapid development of China's cotton textile industry in the past 10 years has met the needs of domestic and foreign markets, the next 10 years should be 10 years of pformation and synergy, and 10 years from a major cotton power country to a cotton textile power".

Zhu Beina said that in order to achieve the grand goal of a cotton textile power, China's cotton textile industry must slow down during the "12th Five-Year" period and pay more attention to sustainable development.

Zhu Beina said that in order to achieve sustainable development, first of all, we should strengthen the training of talents.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, the cotton textile industry should increase the labor productivity while increasing the proportion of the middle and higher education among the operators, and improving the proportion of the middle and high management compound talents.

In the future, there will be more than 40 thousand middle and senior technical personnel each year. More than 10 thousand professional and technical personnel with relevant academic qualifications will be added each year through self-cultivation and professional training.

The second is to raise the level of employment.

Improving labor productivity is the main trend of the future development. During the 11th Five-Year, China's cotton textile industry has been reduced by 40%, and by 2015, it will be reduced to 60 people in all trades and 100 people in shuttleless looms.

This requires our cotton textile enterprises to improve production technology on the one hand; on the other hand, we should eliminate backward equipment and adopt new textile machinery with high automation and intelligence.

Third, we must pay attention to energy conservation and emission reduction.

By 2020, our government promised carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP to be down by 40%~45% over 2005, and will be included as a binding index in the medium and long-term plan for national economic and social development.

According to this goal, by 2015, the comprehensive energy consumption of key enterprises in the cotton textile industry should be reduced by about 4%, and the proportion of PVA containing slurry should be reduced to 10%.

Fourth, we should continue to promote the construction of social responsibility.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, the whole industry should further promote the protection of workers' rights and interests, increase the insurance rate of "three risks and one gold" for workers by 30%, make full use of resources, advocate the quality of clothing for the whole people, increase the average annual output of 1 sticks, reduce the use of raw materials by about 260 tons, actively promote the use of non cotton fibers, and jointly develop new fibers with the upstream and downstream, and assume the responsibility of providing quality products to global consumers.

Zhu Beina said that the biennial China Cotton Textile Conference has become a great event for the global cotton textile industry.

In the past years, the development of China's cotton textile industry is inseparable from the background of the world economy. Both raw materials and textile markets are closely linked with many other countries in the world. In the "12th Five-Year" period, we still have to follow the principle of harmonious development with the world textile industry. Therefore, we define the theme of this session as "the sustainable development of industry adjustment - the world and China".

It is believed that textile industry representatives from different countries will take different perspectives to explain the bright future of the coordinated development of the global textile industry.
