Cotton Price Is Too Low, Cotton Industry Is In A State Of "Unified Purchase And Marketing".

"Market" cotton The price is too low. The cotton we buy is turned over to all cotton reserves except those that do not meet the standard. " In December 26th, Wang Shoulai, director of the thick oil and cotton plant in Wucheng City, told reporters.

When the storage price of cotton is set at 20400 yuan / ton this year, it has already made some judgement on the situation of late storage and storage. Therefore, it puts forward "open open" storage and storage. But the enthusiasm of the cotton processing plant is still beyond expectations. As of 25 days, the Central Cotton Storage season has accumulated 4 million 931 thousand and 300 tons of storage, accounting for 3/4 of the country's cotton output.

At the same time, many cotton spinning enterprises are crying for food. "At present, raw material supply of cotton spinning enterprises is quite strained." Tian Lianchen, chairman of Yun Tong Textile, told reporters that the industry is looking forward to the early dumping of stored cotton in January.

　　 Cotton unlocked into central storage cotton

On the afternoon of 26 July, in the west of Wucheng County, an important cotton processing and gathering area in Shandong, the snow on the roadside has not yet completely melted, and the cold weather is just like what the cotton spinning industry is experiencing.

Lao Li is a cotton hawker. He pulls up a cotton cart that he just received from the cotton grower and is moving between the cotton factories. "It has been transferred to three cotton factories, and they all do not care about the quality. But now there is good cotton, which is good enough.

At present, the cotton harvest and storage in the cotton season is entering the final stage. Thick and fat cotton can now buy about 160 thousand catties of cotton every day, and the purchase amount exceeds 300 thousand jin in the rush hour. "Now farmers have no good cotton in their hands. They can only choose the general in the cripple." Shandong is estimated to last until after the Spring Festival, which will end before the Spring Festival in Xinjiang.

But even at the end of the day, they must keep quality in check, which is related to the survival of enterprises. "The price of cotton in the market is too low to sell in the market. In the past few years, there were quite a few cotton markets. Almost all of them were used for storage this year. If the cotton we receive is not up to the standard of storage, it will be in the hands. " Li Chunshan, chairman of Tianhong cotton industry, told reporters.

Wang Shoulai also told reporters that the cotton purchased by HSBC is all used for storage. "It has already delivered about 1500 tons, and has not been sold in the market." Those who fail to meet the four level purchase criteria are stored in the warehouse.

Data from the central storage cotton also show the "enthusiasm" of the cotton mill. As of 25 days, the reserve cotton has collected and accumulated 4 million 931 thousand and 300 tons of cotton, including 3 million 733 thousand and 200 tons of accumulated storage and storage, and 1 million 198 thousand and 100 tons of large contracts for key enterprises. The data far exceeded the previous expectations of the industry.

Although it is open to open storage, but in the middle of the cotton store to start storage, the industry estimated that the reserves will not exceed 3 million 125 thousand tons last year, Dezhou Cotton Association Deputy Secretary General Ma Junkai told reporters this analysis. But now, there will be more than three months from March 31st to the end of storage and storage. The storage capacity has reached 4 million 931 thousand and 300 tons.

What does this amount mean? What is expected by the Ministry of agriculture on 21? It is estimated that the total output of cotton in 2012 will reach 6 million 600 thousand tons, an increase of 0.3% over the previous year. Nowadays, the reserve capacity of China's cotton reserves reaches 4 million 931 thousand and 300 tons, which means 3/4 of the total cotton output has entered the central storage cotton. In the future, store up As a result, the proportion of China's reserve cotton reserves will be higher than that of domestic cotton production, and the "unified" cotton market will gradually take shape.

　　 Cotton textile industry urgently needs to "put grain"

As cotton enters China's cotton store continuously, cotton spinning enterprises are eagerly waiting for "putting grain".

Tian Lianchen told reporters that for textile enterprises, raw material supply is rather tight at present, and most enterprises rely on imports and previous dumping. "Part of our cotton business is imported from Australia, and some of them are from the central storage cotton in September."

Reporters learned that in the early September when the cotton purchase and storage is about to start, the central reserve cotton has thrown the reserve and the reserve price is 18 thousand and 500 yuan / ton, much lower than this year's purchasing and storage price. "High absorption and low throwing", the action of China cotton reserve is intended to protect domestic cotton prices while appropriately reducing the pressure of textile enterprises.

Since the cotton throwing and storage, the domestic cotton storage has become the only buyer in the market because of the high price of domestic cotton storage and storage, and the raw material supply of cotton spinning enterprises has become a problem. 12 in the first ten days of the month, the Xinjiang Construction Corps sold some cotton and sold 43929 tons of cotton. Although it was thirsty for the raw materials on the market, it was far from enough.

The head of a small cotton textile enterprise in Xiajin told reporters that at present, its cotton stocks are less than a month. "I can't keep up with the Spring Festival. I plan to have a holiday early in the Spring Festival. If the market is not getting better in the future, even if there is cotton, there is no intention of resuming work.

In addition, the central storage cotton is also facing the pressure of storage capacity. This year, the reserve cotton has acquired nearly 5 million tons of cotton, plus inventory in the past, and the stock of the central storage cotton store is as high as 9 million tons, far exceeding the domestic cotton output this year. Ma Junkai said that in order to ensure sufficient capacity, the cotton stored in the central bank not only directly owned the warehouse, but also used the warehouse in the society. But with nearly 5 million tons of cotton in storage, the central storage cotton has been facing tight storage capacity.

Driven by multiple factors, the market is expected to become more and more important to store and store cotton reserves. "It is estimated that there will be definite information about dumping in the middle of next month." Tian Lianchen told reporters.

　　 Foreign cotton yarn hits domestic market

For the future Throw store The industry expects that it will be similar to the dumping and storage in September, and the price will be lower than the cost of storage and purchase, thereby reducing the cost pressure of textile enterprises. However, on the basis of the purchase price of 20400 yuan / ton, there is little room for the spinning of reserve cotton reserves, and the suffering of textile enterprises will continue.

"Now domestic textile enterprises are using the most expensive cotton in the world, the cost of labor and capital is also improving, and the downstream market is still weak. Now the cotton spinning industry is facing a very difficult situation, and the enterprise is very difficult." Tianrun textile chairman Tian Shaoqing told reporters.

Tian Shaoqing said, at present, foreign cotton is only 15000 yuan / ton, and if domestic cotton spinning enterprises can not get import quotas, the cotton price will be as high as 20000 yuan / ton after paying taxes, and the cost will be 5000 yuan / ton. Moreover, the cost of labor in Southeast Asia and South Asia also has advantages, and the competitiveness of Chinese enterprises has been seriously weakened.

Under the pressure of internal and external cost gap, some cotton spinning enterprises are turning to overseas, or investing overseas, or directly importing cotton yarn from abroad.

It is understood that although the domestic import quota for cotton, import restrictions, but the cotton yarn did not implement import quotas, foreign cotton yarn flocked in. Because of the low price of foreign cotton yarn, the domestic cotton spinning enterprises have a great impact. Tian Lianchen told reporters that the low price of foreign low count cotton yarn has been close to domestic cotton prices, which makes domestic enterprises simply unable to compete with them.

Customs data also show this dilemma. In the first 10 months of this year, China's imports of cotton yarn totaled 1 million 213 thousand and 100 tons, an increase of 70.01% over the same period last year, and the total export of cotton yarn was 356 thousand tons, up 7.46% from the same period last year. This is evident from the severe situation faced by domestic cotton spinning enterprises.
