After the start of the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy, the domestic cotton finally bid farewell to the price of "roller coaster" and became stable. Cotton growers and Cotton Traders no longer had a "heart beating" in the cotton prices that had gone up sharply, P.

< /p >

< p > however, with the decline of international cotton prices, some a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" target= "_blank" > textile "/a" clothing enterprises began to feel uneasy, especially when the demand for international market was soft. At present, the difference between the domestic and foreign countries is about 6000 yuan / ton, which makes these enterprises shouting "lose at the starting line".

< p > cotton merchant Cao Xiegui has finally been relieved of the Spring Festival this year.

In an interview yesterday, he said that in the past year, because of the stability of cotton prices, he made a small profit, and in a stable price system, the risk has been reduced a lot.

In the first two years, cotton prices rose and fell, breaking through 30000 yuan / ton from 15000 yuan / ton, and breaking through 20000 yuan / ton again.

< p > "from the paction situation, the downstream cotton spinning and garment enterprises do not buy much, they are watching.

Most of our lint got into the national treasury, which is hard to sell in the market. We often go to the old customers there, and look forward to getting some goods to us when the market recovers year after year.

Cao Xiegui said.

< p > in September 10th last year, the central storage cotton company started the temporary storage and purchase of cotton in 2012 (September 2012 ~2013 August). The purchase and storage price was set at 20400 yuan / ton, an increase of 600 yuan / ton compared with the previous year.

This is the second year of the implementation of temporary cotton purchase and storage policy.

In total, 3 million 120 thousand tons of cotton were collected in 2011.

It is estimated that there will be more than 5 million tons of reserves in 2012.

< p > compared with cotton growers, the pressure of downstream garment enterprises is obviously much larger.

Wang Yisheng, the director of Lotte clothing company, said that business was very light. Besides the Russian market, the orders in the main markets such as Europe, America and Japan were all declining, and the domestic sales situation was not good. The supply was too much, the inventory pressure was too great, and it was not easy to rush into the new list. The clothing enterprises were difficult to operate, and Guangdong, Foshan and other areas closed many factories.

< p > Wang Yi survived: "the price of domestic cotton is several thousand yuan higher than the price of cotton in the international market, and the cost of labor has risen all the way. Since last year, the cost has increased by 30%. Compared with the clothing enterprises in Southeast Asia, we completely lose the competitive advantage of price, and are increasing the power of design, hoping to promote the market."

Zhou Xiaonan, deputy general manager of Hua Mei line Co., Ltd. also reflected that the market has not been optimistic since last year, and exports dropped by about 6%. It is difficult to raise prices under the condition of a weak market, and the cost is rising all the way, which is a great test to the enterprises. At present, overseas buyers have been on the sidelines of P.

In view of the large difference between domestic and foreign cotton prices, the company adjusts its product structure and produces more polyester products.

< p > < strong > cotton problem is outstanding. < /strong > < /p >

< p > 2012, China's textile and clothing exports totaled 262 billion 560 million US dollars, up 3.3% from the same period last year, the lowest growth rate since 2010.

Gao Yong, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, said that the price difference of cotton at home and abroad of about 6000 yuan / ton is an important factor affecting the operation of the textile industry.

< /p >

< p > textile industry senior expert Wang Qianjin said that the demand for domestic and international terminal markets is not strong, and the demand for cotton has shrunk, leading to a sharp decline in international cotton prices.

Last year, domestic cotton consumption was about 7 million 500 thousand tons, while the peak period reached 10 million tons / year. However, unlike the international market, domestic storage price was supported, cotton price was relatively stable, but it had both advantages and disadvantages, which led to the cost of domestic cotton being higher than that of overseas enterprises and lost to the starting line.

Some enterprises have gradually turned to using the same chemical fiber at home and abroad. In the past year, the growth of domestic chemical fiber is more than that of the block, and the market of about 12 million tons less than a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton < /a > has been diverted.

< /p >

< p > Wang Qianjin believes that the main predicament of the current textile and garment enterprises is the demand of the market. It is expected that the market will rebound this year and the contradiction between the domestic and foreign prices of cotton will be eased.

< /p >

< p > relevant data show that the total import volume of textiles and clothing in the United States and the European Union decreased by 0.9% and 5% respectively in the month of 2012, compared with that in 2012, resulting in insufficient orders for Chinese export enterprises.

At the same time, domestic and foreign cotton prices continue to widen, seriously affecting the competitiveness of the cotton textile industry chain.

Affected by cotton price differentials and production costs, international market share has declined.

In 2012 1~11, the proportion of China's textile industry in the European Union and Japan's import market remained at 73.2% and 40.1% respectively, but decreased by 1.8% and 1.1% respectively compared with the same period last year.

< /p >

< p > Gao Yong believes that in 2013, the overall trend of the industrial economy will continue to maintain steady growth, but at the same time, the pressure of external demand is not strong, cotton price differentials are large, and production costs will rise.

It is estimated that the economic performance of the whole industry will be stable before the beginning of the year, and will remain at the level of 2012 in the beginning of the year. The growth in the second half of this year is expected to increase gradually.

< /p >

< p > Gao Yong pointed out that the problem of cotton price difference at home and abroad still exists in 2013. It is difficult to completely resolve the problem only by the adjustment of the textile and garment enterprises themselves. How to solve this problem from the policy level will become an important factor affecting the operation of < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > the textile industry < /a >, but at present, the country has not yet formed a clear solution to this problem.
