Shandong Linqing'S Unique Cotton Textile Industry How To Get Out Of Difficulties

Linqing is the national high quality cotton production base and the cotton export base of Shandong province.

This year, China's cotton has been affected by factors such as shrinking external demand, blocked exports, external cotton shocks and high labor costs in China.

In the face of difficulties, 60% of small and medium-sized textile enterprises limit production and stop production.

However, in Linqing, 70% of the cotton textile enterprises are still in the state of capital preservation or even slight profit, and they are outstanding in the national cotton textile market.

Where is the way out for cotton industry? For this reason, the author made a survey of Linqing cotton industry chain.

It is found that there are several problems in Linqing cotton textile industry: first, the loss of cotton farmers' confidence.

Low price, low efficiency, time consuming and other factors, cotton growers lose confidence. Cotton fields are gradually replaced by grain fields and melon fields. The cotton planting area has been reduced rapidly. According to the statistics of Linqing City's Cotton Variety Management Office, the cotton planting area in Linqing City in 2012 was 180 thousand mu, which was 45 thousand mu less than that of last year.

The cotton industry is facing the risk of loss.

It is not easy to cultivate and develop an industry, but it is very simple to solve it.

The problem is urgent.

Two, cotton farmers wait and see.

The survey found that some cotton farmers still have 2-3 years of backlog of cotton do not sell, waiting for prices to rise.

For example, in Linqing City, I saw many farmers stacked with different sizes of cotton pits.

Three, the market shock intensified.

Despite the decline in cotton prices in recent years, cotton textile enterprises still feel that the cost of domestic cotton raw materials is high, and the price of domestic cotton per ton is 3000-5000 yuan higher than that of foreign countries.

For this reason, the author suggests: first, we should increase the financial support subsidy to cotton farmers and establish the "cotton target price subsidy system".

Now grain countries can subsidize 125 yuan per mu, plus 5 yuan for pesticide subsidies this year, with a total of 130 yuan.

And cotton is only subsidized by 15 yuan.

If the cotton seed subsidy is increased, farmers' enthusiasm for planting cotton will naturally increase.

Second, we should promote the experience of high yield building, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Linqing Jin Hao Zhuang Town and Song Lin town have 20 thousand mu of cotton high yield test field, mu yield is about 90 Jin.

At the same time, we should strengthen technical services and plant new varieties of cotton. Through improving cotton yield and quality, we will organize experts to compile scientific manuals for cotton cultivation and guide the masses to organize production according to operation rules.

Finally, we should increase support for technological innovation and industrial upgrading of textile enterprises.

It is suggested that the state should give financial support to the elimination of backward production capacity and textile enterprises applying new technologies and new products, and focus on supporting small and medium enterprises projects with good market prospects and strong innovation ability.

Efforts should be made to pform the way of development.
