At present, domestic cotton storage and storage has accumulated about 2700000 tons, accounting for nearly 40% of domestic output. In the wake of the peak season of downstream consumption, there is a demand for replenishment in the market, especially for cheap imported cotton.

　　 India's textile industry faces challenges

Why did India issue the cotton export ban at this time? For this, Chen Dong, an analyst at Baocheng futures, said that this is mainly the India government's interest in protecting the textile enterprises in the country.

With the appreciation of the India rupee against the US dollar and the rise in the prices of producer goods, India textiles also encounter difficulties in the global market, and the survival environment of textile enterprises is facing challenges.

In order to safeguard the interests of the industry, the India Textile Association has proposed to the government that because of the low price of cotton in India, it has been transported to the international market in large quantities, including textile competitors such as China and Pakistan. In this way, they are actually using their resources to expand their competitors, which is unfavorable to the development of textile enterprises in India. Therefore, the India textile association suggested that the government ban cotton exports, or at least raise the zero tariff on cotton exports to 4% to 5%. Such a country can not only increase tax revenue It can also protect India's textile competitiveness to a certain extent.
