Textile Raw Materials: Establish An Effective Mechanism To Coordinate The Development Of Raw Materials

In recent years, cotton and chemical fiber Textile raw materials The price and supply situation of the textile industry have fluctuated significantly, which has caused great difficulties for the production and operation of the textile industry. Therefore, the cotton system needs to be reformed, and we must speed up the reform and accelerate the pace of reform.

In view of the instability, uncertainty and non permanence of the textile raw material market, it is necessary to strengthen the research and analysis of textile raw materials. First of all, scientific prediction and information release should be made in advance to strive for the scientificity, predictability and coverage of information; The second is to form an effective price mechanism and adjustment mechanism; The last is to form a mechanism for cost adjustment, transmission and rapid response of the industrial chain.

Since entering the 21st century, with the acceleration of economic globalization, textile With the gradual cancellation of import and export quotas and the gradual advancement of textile trade liberalization, China's textile industry has shown a good situation of sustained and rapid development, forming an industrial system from upstream fiber raw material processing to final product manufacturing, and China's fiber processing volume has maintained a sustained and rapid growth trend. The proportion of fiber processing in the textile industry in the world rose from 25% in 2000 to about 50% in 2010. However, in recent years, the price and supply of cotton, chemical fiber and other major textile raw materials have experienced substantial shocks, which has caused great difficulties for the production and operation of the textile industry.

Rich and diverse textile materials

Since this year, China's textile industry has been in trouble in the complex economic environment at home and abroad. From January to May, the physical quantity of exports decreased by 2.2%, the domestic sales also dropped by 10 percentage points compared with the same period last year, and the production of the whole industry dropped by 18 percentage points. The downturn in the textile market and the sharp fluctuations in the prices of raw materials have made the industry face new contradictions in terms of health, stability and sustainable development. Textile raw materials are the main production factors of the textile industry. At present, compared with those before the reform and opening up, textile raw materials have undergone fundamental changes, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First, from production shortage to oversupply. Before the 1990s, China's textile raw material was mainly cotton, but now the proportion of chemical fiber has reached more than 73%. Moreover, China's chemical fiber technology and capacity have been rapidly improved, and the shortage of raw materials has become a thing of the past.

Second, the textile materials are rich and colorful. The development of various chemical fibers and the natural fibers of cotton, linen, silk and wool have greatly enriched the textile market, greatly improved and satisfied the consumption level of consumers, and played a very good role in promoting textile consumption.

Third, the coexistence of complementarities, differences and mutual competitiveness of various fibers has promoted the development of various fiber technologies and equipment, as well as the imbalance and instability of various fibers.

Cotton system reform should take the road of market

The uncertainty and instability of the raw material market environment have a serious impact on the industry, which is not only a current problem, but also a long-term problem in the future. Since this year, although the market of China's textile industry has been relatively sluggish, from January to May this year, the output of yarn has increased by 14%, and the output of chemical fiber has increased by 15%, which runs counter to the downturn of the market. The increase in output has also caused great difficulties for enterprises engaged in the production and operation of cotton and chemical fiber. According to the latest report issued by the International Cotton Advisory Committee ICAC on June 1, it is estimated that the cotton inventory in the whole year will increase for two consecutive years. It is estimated that the inventory will reach 61% of the total consumption in July 2013. That is to say, there is still surplus cotton in the next two years. China's national reserve of cotton has become a hot potato and an uncertain factor. China's cotton textile industry is also in trouble. Some enterprises have lost a lot of money, so cotton needs reform, and we must seize the reform and accelerate the pace of reform. China's cotton reform must be promoted from three aspects.

First cotton Excluded from the sequence of strategic materials, they are no longer included in strategic materials. Our original grain, cotton and oil were used as strategic materials, but cotton is no longer the main raw material for textile industry and textile consumer goods.

Second, we should transfer management from the central government to provinces, cities and autonomous regions, instead of unified management by the central government. No more restrictions should be placed on the central planning, the central inventory and the central quota. These management should be delegated to provinces, cities and autonomous regions.

Third, from the planned system to the real track of market allocation of resources, the quota will be canceled, and the national cotton reserves and pricing will no longer be carried out. Specific policies can be adopted for special provinces, such as Xinjiang. The cotton management system should be the simplest and uncomplicated. I believe that as long as we shift to the way of allocating resources through the market, our cotton system will be in line with the common interests of the whole industry chain, so as to achieve economic development and win-win results in industry and all sectors.

Establish an effective mechanism to coordinate the development of raw materials

The textile industry itself is a highly competitive industry with strong timeliness, but our raw materials have not gone this way. In view of the instability, uncertainty and uncertainty of the textile raw material market, I think we should strengthen the research and analysis of textile raw materials from the following aspects to ensure the stability of the raw material market.

First, scientific prediction and information release should be made in advance to strive for the scientificity, predictability and coverage of information. Second, an effective price mechanism and adjustment mechanism should be formed. Finally, an industrial chain cost adjustment, transmission and rapid response mechanism should be formed to link up and down to reduce market risks and improve the anti risk ability of raw material processing enterprises, The price comparison index of various fibers should be formed to coordinate the reasonable and balanced development of our various fibers.

The problem of textile raw materials is a very important and fundamental problem in our industry. We need to carry out in-depth research in the future to deepen and solve these problems from a global perspective, as well as from the national policy, industrial system and management system, so as to better solve the problem of raw materials.
