Binzhou Cotton Textile Industry Collectively Enters Hibernation And Expects Textile Industry To Continue To Slow Down.

Known as the "cotton capital of China" Binzhou Its cotton yarn exports accounted for 1/4 of the country's total exports. An interview with China Securities Daily found that many textile factories in the region had been empty. A textile company in Wucheng County, Shandong Province, has been closed down. The company has only 10 thousand spindles, and a staff member left behind said, "now many textile enterprises have been transferred to a very low level, and the market is very bad." Reporters learned that Shandong, Yuncheng, Gaomi, Xiajin and other places, gathered hundreds of small and medium-sized cotton spinning enterprises.

"Because of the whole Cotton spinning industry In the recession, most of the small and medium sized cotton spinning enterprises have limited production, and some have stopped production. Ma Junkai, Secretary General of Dezhou Cotton Association, said that many large and medium sized cotton spinning enterprises whose production volume was between 100 thousand and 500 thousand spindles is now generally inadequate, leading to the cotton textile industry entering "hibernation".

If the port is compared to the oral cavity, the port will continue to eat, and the warehouse with gastric function will seriously "accumulate food". The downstream cotton mills are weak in digestion and absorption, resulting in disorder and indigestion in the cotton spinning industry.

The downturn in the textile industry has actually begun since last year. According to the data released by China Customs, in 2011, China's textile exports totaled 94 billion 700 million US dollars, up 22.9% from the same period last year, but the growth rate dropped 6.5 percentage points. Shandong province exported 9 billion 100 million US dollars in 1-6 months this year, down 4.2% compared with the same period last year.

Compared with the high price of cotton at 32000 yuan / ton in early 2009, today's price can be said to be parity. Ma Junkai said that this year, the world's cotton production area is large, the output is large, the supply exceeds demand, coupled with the economic recession, and the reduction of cotton consumption makes the world international. cotton Prices have dropped sharply. Compared with Southeast Asian countries, China's cotton has no cost advantage.

In recent years, domestic cotton prices have gone down, which has not benefited textile enterprises, and has also hit some cotton farmers' enthusiasm for planting cotton. Zhou Ji's village is mostly saline and alkaline land with little water and is not suitable for planting wheat, corn and other food crops. "If it weren't for soil limitations, farmers would have abandoned cotton and grain." Zhou Ji said, "recently I heard that cotton is on the price again, which is 3 yuan and 2 cents per catty. In 2010, when the price of cotton was the highest, it reached 7 yuan a Jin, and now it can not earn money from planting cotton." In fact, the cotton planting area in Shandong has been declining. Ma Junkai introduced that the cotton planting area of Dezhou in 2012 was 1 million 300 thousand mu, 20% lower than last year, while the whole Shandong province decreased by 15%.

A few days ago, the national cotton market monitoring system released the "2011 cotton annual textile enterprise survival survey report". The survey found that the main difficulties encountered in the current textile enterprises' operation and development were three of the enterprises with the highest proportion of choice: "overcapacity in the industry, fierce competition in prices," "falling prices, increased risk of inventory depreciation", "reduction in orders at home and abroad, and greater difficulty in market development". In addition, the rapid increase in labor costs is also a long-term factor. The survey shows that cotton spinning enterprises generally tend to be cautious about future expectations, and 65.5% of the surveyed enterprises expect the textile industry to "continue to slow down".

Experts believe that the pressure port is only a superficial phenomenon. The cotton isobaric port reflects the survival status of the upstream and downstream industries. The industry's malpractice and extensive investment are really worth attracting attention.
