Business Operation Is Worrying&Nbsp; Xinjiang Textile Industry Makes Wedding Clothes For Mainland Counterparts

For some time, the textile export industry plagued by the financial crisis, benefited from the national export tax rebate rate adjustment policy, finally ushered in a good harvest: from January to July 2011, the textile export tax rebate in the capital increased nearly three times compared with 2009, reaching 32% of the total export tax rebate.

However, the local textile industry in Xinjiang plays an awkward role: Xinjiang's textile products account for only 2.4% of the total textile exports through Urumqi. "In fact, Xinjiang The textile industry only plays the role of making wedding clothes for mainland counterparts. " A few days ago, the relevant staff of the Import and Export Tax Department of Urumqi Municipal Office of State Administration of Taxation analyzed that, as one of the largest raw cotton producing areas in China, Xinjiang currently only serves as a "big channel" for inland garment enterprises to enter and exit Central and Western Asia.

Fast growth of textile exports

Before 2008, Urumqi's foreign trade exports were mainly mechanical and electrical products. Since the financial crisis, foreign trade exports have been greatly impacted. In response to the financial crisis, China expanded the variety of export commodities and raised the tax rebate rate of export commodities for many times, effectively alleviating the difficulties of domestic enterprises caused by the appreciation of RMB, the slowdown of foreign demand and the increase of costs, and promoting the growth of foreign trade exports from negative to positive.

"Since the tax rebate rate of export commodities was raised, Urumqi exports commodity There are new changes. " Recently, the staff of the Import and Export Tax Department of Urumqi Municipal Office of State Administration of Taxation explained that, according to the analysis of Urumqi's export tax rebate related data, since August 1, 2008, the export tax rebate rate of some textiles and clothing has increased from 11% to 16%, and the textile export has increased year by year in both quantity and amount. The proportion of textile tax rebate in the total tax rebate has increased from 13% in 2009 to 28% in 2010, 32% in 2011.

Statistics show that from January to July 2011, Urumqi's textile export trade volume grew rapidly, reaching 136.7 million dollars, an increase of 55.35 million dollars over the same period of the previous year, or 68%. Among them, the trade volume with the five Central Asian countries accounted for 91% of the total.

Mainland businesses seize business opportunities

This year, Urumqi added new textile exports enterprise 21, up to 110. "Most of these enterprises come from Hebei, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Shandong. After setting up distribution points in the capital, they export to Central Asia via the capital channel," said a staff member of the Import and Export Tax Department of Urumqi Municipal Office of State Administration of Taxation.

The staff member analyzed that textiles and clothing have become the bulk products exported by Xinjiang, but in the export of textiles and clothing, the majority of the mainland products are exported through Xinjiang, and the proportion of Xinjiang products is too low.

Among the export commodities, towel, towel products, clothing and socks, blended plain canvas, and travel blanket have a large export volume, accounting for 54% of the export trade volume of textile products and 14.64% of the total export trade volume.

According to statistics, from January to July 2011, the textile export volume of Urumqi foreign trade enterprises to the five Central Asian countries accounted for 91% of the total, an increase of US $53.52 million or 75% over the same period last year.

Among them, the export volume to Kyrgyzstan reached US $84.08 million, up 60% from US $31.82 million in the same period last year; Kazakhstan recorded 20.51 million US dollars, up 59% from 12.88 million US dollars in the same period last year; Tajikistan was 16.67 million US dollars, up 424% from 3.18 million US dollars in the same period last year; Uzbekistan reached 2.78 million US dollars, up 91% from 1.45 million US dollars in the same period last year; Only Turkmenistan decreased by 78% from the same period last year's $960000 to $210000.

"But what makes people think deeply is that Xinjiang, which is closest to Central Asia, spin The export of products only accounts for 2.4% of the total textile export procurement, and the only market share is mainly sold to Europe, America and Hong Kong. Xinjiang textile enterprises almost have no intersection with Central Asia. " Introduction of the staff member.

Xinjiang enterprises cannot compete for the cake

Among the textile export enterprises in Urumqi, the most influential one is Xinjiang Tianshan Wool Textile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tianmao"), which mainly manufactures coarse and worsted cashmere sweaters, and its products are mainly sold to the United States, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, etc.

Compared with the current situation of booming export of domestic textile enterprises, the export situation of Tianshan Wool Textile Co., Ltd. has been in a downward trend since the 2008 financial crisis.

"Now the number of orders received for export has dropped sharply." The relevant person in charge of the company said frankly that the impact of the financial crisis continues in Europe, the United States and other countries, and the company's products are mainly medium and high-end products. In addition to the current international fashion trend changes, the sales of Tianmao textiles in foreign countries have been significantly worse than before.

For the Central Asian region China Tianmao dare not enter the textile market. "The Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta in the mainland have formed a complete industrial chain model. Each process has an independent factory to operate independently. Only by cooperating with each other can the cost be reduced. The clothing industry is cheap and high-quality, but Xinjiang's textile industry does not have such support. It is totally a lone battle. The cost of a suit of ready to wear is very high, so it can only go to the high-end market." The person in charge sighed.

Xie Zexin, the person in charge of Meiya Investment Development Co., Ltd. with an annual export of 5 million to 8 million yuan, expressed the same feeling: "Mainland coastal cities have developed information and are full of creativity, and ready to wear products can keep up with the international trend, while our Xinjiang enterprises, due to the lack of industrial chain and clothing design talents, can only provide raw materials or mainly tooling products.

Take simple jeans as an example. A piece of jeans needs 6 steps from raw cotton to washing to make ready to wear, while Xinjiang enterprises can only complete 3 steps. The process of ready to wear, finishing and washing in the later stage is far behind.

"In fact, for Xinjiang textile export enterprises, it is best to introduce a large number of inland garment factories to invest in Xinjiang, and improve the innovative concept and process production level of Xinjiang enterprises. Only in this way, Xinjiang enterprises will not only do wedding clothes for others," Xie Zexin said.
