Xinjiang'S Cotton Industry Chain Needs Upstream And Downstream Industries To Develop Healthily.

domestic

Export situation is not good, foreign cotton prices are far lower than domestic prices. Although there are state reserves, Xinjiang cotton area which occupies half of China's cotton production is what? Due to the recent harvest of cotton fields in Xinjiang, the reporter took the opportunity to visit local cotton growers, cotton and linen, spinning and weaving enterprises and research institutes to explore the industrial chain's cold and warm trend and future trend.

Beneficiaries of cotton farmers

In the oasis of the southern edge of the gore, the endless cotton fields can be seen everywhere.

This year, cotton grower Lao Deng planted 70 mu of cotton, yielding 330 kilos per mu.

Lao Deng roughly estimated that the average price of cotton is 7 yuan / kg, and the cost per mu is about 2000 yuan, and this year it can earn more than 20 thousand yuan.

Such gains are not really high.

Talking about next year's plan, Lao Deng is going to grow cotton. He said cotton prices are relatively stable and their income is guaranteed.

But his land has been planting cotton for more than 10 years, and the disease is very serious.

In the past two years, he has made some land to grow corn, wheat and feed to maintain the land.

According to the investigation and calculation by the NDRC, in 2012, the cotton planting area in Xinjiang reached 24 million 700 thousand mu, and cotton output was expected to exceed 3 million 200 thousand tons, a slight increase compared with the same period last year, and it is expected to account for half of the total cotton output in China.

As the largest cotton growing area in the country, there are many cotton growers who share similar experiences with Deng in this vast land of Xinjiang.

They have been planting cotton instead of other crops in recent years, which is the relatively stable price of cotton, and they have already mastered cotton cultivation techniques.

Perhaps they do not know that the relative stability of cotton prices in recent years is caused by the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy.

Every autumn is the busiest time for Xinjiang ginning and cotton mills.

In order to ensure the quality of cotton, cotton ginning plants and cotton and flax companies are making every effort to acquire and process Cotton before the frost and snow fall.

On the 6 day, the reporter walked into a medium-sized cotton purchase enterprise in Xinjiang, Urumqi Xin Sai Cotton Industry Co., Ltd.

As a subsidiary of Xinsheng stock, the company acquired 8 ginning companies in Northern Xinjiang in 2007, and its holding company bought 5 ginning plants this summer.

Asked why, the company said it is optimistic about the cotton market, and believes that the national reserve bottom effect is obvious.

Company analysis, because the mainland cotton yield per mu is lower than Xinjiang, the average per mu efficiency is lower than Xinjiang. In the next few years, the cotton planting area in the mainland will gradually reduce, and the cotton planting area in Xinjiang will gradually stabilize. With the support of the national reserve policy, making cotton in Xinjiang has certain profit margins.

The company said that before the launch of the new cotton company this year, the company set up the keynote of "quick acquisition, quick processing, quick delivery and storage". Up to now, it has bid for 12 thousand tons of State Cotton contract and will continue to auction.

The company said that if the cotton purchased by the company can be smoothly stored, the company will make profits this year.

However, reporters learned that in the southern important cotton region of Akesu, some small cotton ginning factories have stopped buying cotton or even stop production.

These owners believe that the national cotton price of 20 thousand and 400 yuan / ton is attractive, but it is not sure that all the cotton will be stored and stored, and the downstream textile industry is in a recession.

Because the international cotton price is lower than the domestic market, the cotton yarn Market in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong prefers to purchase cotton yarn from India, Pakistan and Indonesia.

Textile enterprises suffer from both sides

In order to derive the industrial chain, in recent years, through attracting investment, Xinjiang has attracted a large number of mainland textile enterprises to settle in Xinjiang, forming two textile industrial cities of Shihezi and Akesu.

A textile enterprise executive settled in Xinjiang told reporters in a calm tone as far as possible. Before 2010, October was the traditional peak season for textile industry, and the scene of textile enterprises working overtime and ordering orders can be seen everywhere.

Christmas needs a large number of Chinese export dolls, clothing and socks and other commodities, usually in September each year, these manufacturers will give textile enterprises orders, but this year almost nothing.

"Many small textile enterprises in the mainland are unable to sustain themselves, and the market will not improve in 2012. As for 2013, it is not easy to say."

According to the latest data, China's textile and garment exports totaled US $192 billion 600 million from 1 to September, due to the continued downturn in the international market, representing an increase of only 1.04% over the same period last year.

As an intermediate link, the upper reaches of the textile enterprises are cotton, and the downstream is clothing, cloth toys and

Hat business.

The upstream cotton prices are high, and the downstream exports are light. These textile enterprises can be seen as having a long way to go.

In the unprofitable realities, some enterprises have limited production.

In the face of peer production restrictions, a medium-sized textile enterprise executive in Xinjiang told reporters that the company is now full load production to reduce unit costs, and then appropriately reduce product prices to attract customers.

The executive said that the company is also trying its best to persist in order to tide over the difficulties. If we take the limited production to cope with the market downturn, it means that the scale of the company's production will gradually shrink, the unit energy consumption will increase, the cost will increase, and the competition will be lost.

The executive said frankly that the reason why the company was able to persist was to warm up with the upstream cotton and linen company and downstream garment factories.

After years of cooperation, the cotton and linen company sold cotton to the company at a relatively low price this year. In order to "return" the company to buy the cotton of this cotton and hemp company at a more reasonable price in the last few years, when the price of cotton was very low, it bought the "weight of the cotton" of this cotton and hemp company.

The garment factory which has been working with the company for a long time has not "fallen into the rock" but also understands the difficulties of the company.

Expert industry needs upgrading

From cotton planting, lint production to spinning, printing and dyeing, and selling cotton yarns, a cotton industry chain has long been formed in Xinjiang's largest cotton production base in the country.

However, the upstream "temporary food and clothing" and the downstream "miserable wind and rain" are very contrasting.

An expert from the cotton research center of Shihezi University analyzed that the acquisition of State Reserve will also provide support for cotton market prices in the short term, but with the increasing storage and storage capacity, the pressure of future throwing and storage will also increase.

Judging from the market situation this year, domestic and foreign cotton market supply exceeds demand. It is estimated that over 1 million tons of global supply and demand will exceed cotton, and the final inventory will exceed 15 million tons, a record high. Domestic cotton (including imported cotton) will exceed 900 thousand tons of supply and demand, and the final inventory will reach 7 million tons. After the end of the acquisition and storage, the domestic cotton reserves will reach more than 6 million tons, and the domestic cotton price will be suppressed in 2012.

"In the short term, it is difficult for the market to digest the inventory in the past two years. Cotton prices will face tremendous pressure next year, and the cotton market is likely to enter a long downturn."

The above experts suggest that cotton industry should be dominated by Dayu Harding water. At present, the upstream life is better than that of the downstream, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the industry.

From the aspect of cotton planting, cotton growers should focus on long-term interests and try to unify varieties so as to ensure cotton quality.

It is advocated that the cotton production in Xinjiang should be pformed from the small household management mode of one household to the highly commercialized Cotton Corp. On the basis of adhering to the household contract management, farmers will be gradually promoted to the "agricultural production workshop" and "basic trading unit" for specialized production and independent accounting in pursuit of profit under the company system.

At the same time, it is suggested to develop machine picked cotton on the basis of increasing the R & D input and speeding up the establishment of the national standard of machine picked cotton, so as to reduce the cost of cotton and enhance the competitiveness of the national cotton.

In the links between cotton ginning plant and cotton and linseed company, it is suggested that the machinery of foreign fiber cleaning machine needed for cotton processing should be included in the subsidy scope.

In the past two years, the performance of the cotton ginning plant and cotton hemp company is relatively good. The two need to be vigilant in peace and danger, increase the intensity of technological pformation, reduce the cost, and effectively enhance the quality of the national cotton.

The textile link is based on the high price and the price throw of the national cotton store.

And cotton ginning plants and cotton and linen companies can no longer be divorced from the needs of textile enterprises. They tend to grow and buy Cotton with high linen percentage and expand the cotton area with low percentage of clothing.

Cotton with low lint percentage can spin high value-added yarn with high added value, so as to ensure the quality of subsequent garments and thus enhance the competitiveness of garments in the international market.
