Textile Enterprises "Moving East To West" Into Winter

< p > Xinjiang is the world's largest production base for hand picked fine cotton and China's only long staple cotton production, which accounts for half of the country's cotton production.

With the adjustment of the national a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/matertial/show/default.aspx" > textile > /a > industrial layout, a large number of mainland cotton textile groups have moved westward and set up factories in Xinjiang.

< /p >

Less than a few years later, these enterprises that originally hoped to seize the resource highland through the new round of "east to West shift" gradually lost their strength with raw materials and manpower and fell into a more severe "winter" than their counterparts in the mainland.

< /p >

Why is the "westward" cotton spinning enterprise guarding the "cotton pile" even more serious than the mainland enterprises? < /p > p

< p > < strong > cotton price approaching yarn price < /strong > < /p >

< p > "cotton price is too high, and what yarn is to be lost!" sighed tengyachu, director of Akesu Hongli Textile Co., Ltd.

In the first 11 months of 2012, the sales volume of the Zhejiang textile enterprise was only about 40000000 yuan, while the loss reached about 8000000 yuan.

< /p >

< p > according to the current domestic cotton price, the production cost of 32 yarn per ton has reached more than 32 thousand yuan, while it can only be sold to the coastal area for 27 thousand yuan. The price of the 21 yarn is even less than 20 thousand yuan, which is lower than that of the domestic "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "cotton < /a" price.

This means that every time a ton of yarn is produced, the enterprise will lose 5000 yuan.

In the southern part of Akesu, some textile enterprises had to stop production, while most enterprises chose to limit production.

< /p >

< p > "we can't stop production at a loss, or the workers will run away! Customers will be lost!" Tengyun Lang said.

In order to maintain the market, the company shut down half of the production line, and the remaining staff organization training.

Tengyachan said frankly, the reason why the enterprise can still be maintained, there is no production stop, and the profits from the two ginning plants of subordinates have been partially absorbed by the profits, but no one knows if they can sustain it next year.

< /p >

< p > for enterprises, what is more fatal is that because our country has no restrictions on the import of cotton yarn, the price of cotton yarn from India, Pakistan and other countries is even lower than that of China's cotton. The downstream weaving enterprises are more willing to choose imported cotton yarns at low price, which makes domestic textile enterprises, especially the new "east to West shift" enterprises miserable.

< /p >

< p > from 2006, with the adjustment of the layout of the national textile industry, a large number of large cotton textile groups went west, and cast their eyes on Xinjiang, the largest cotton producing area in China.

YOUNGOR, Huafu, Li Tian and other famous textile enterprises have been "going west" and do not set up the layout in a confidential way.

< /p >

"P" is different from the "east to West shift" in the 90s of last century. The "westward shift" is a spontaneous action of textile enterprises. It has made the scale of Xinjiang's cotton spinning industry reach 5 million spindles, and has formed the pattern of "two cities and seven gardens" based on the two major textile cities of Akesu and Shihezi, undertaking the pfer of domestic textile industry.

< /p >

< p > > "all enterprises are losing money!" Liu Wei, deputy director of the Akesu Textile Industrial City Management Committee, said: "only the spinning enterprises are much more profitable and the industry chain is losing less."

< /p >

< p > < strong > the advantage of "westward advance" is gradually lost. < /strong > /p >

Before "P" and "westward advance", many enterprises believed that investing in Xinjiang could directly acquire high-quality cotton resources and save a lot of intermediate links.

In this way, we can find the market pressure to eliminate the rising price of raw cotton, and also solve the increasingly serious employment problem in the mainland.

However, this is not the case.

< /p >

< p > "Xinjiang has no advantage in producing areas!" a Shihezi textile enterprise official told reporters.

< /p >

< p > reporter has learned that in recent two years, as the cost of agricultural materials and cotton picking costs have been rising, the cost of cotton production has risen all the way in Xinjiang, and the phenomenon of "more and more confused" cotton species is becoming more and more serious, which makes Xinjiang's cotton quality decline year by year.

At the same time, the area of cotton picking has increased year by year. Although it has saved the cost for farmers, it has also reduced the grade of cotton. At the same time, because of more impurities, it has increased the cost to textile enterprises.

< /p >

Less than P, the "labor advantage" originally considered by Xinjiang enterprises is also losing year by year. Whether in North Xinjiang's old textile industrial base in Shihezi or in southern Xinjiang, Akesu's "employment" problem is a common problem faced by Xinjiang textile enterprises.

< /p >

"P", "two years in residence, the average wage has doubled.

Now the average wage of the workers in the factory has reached over 2200 yuan, which is even higher than that of our factories in the mainland.

Song Rui, general manager of Akesu Xinfa Cotton Industry Co., Ltd., Xinjiang, said.

This enterprise belongs to Henan Xinye textile Limited by Share Ltd, and entered Xinjiang Akesu area in 2010.

< /p >

What makes p more difficult is that even such a high salary is difficult to recruit workers.

Reporter survey found that, because the local city people do not want to be a textile worker, the surrounding farmers earn a lot of land and do not want to do so. Most of the textile enterprises in Shihezi are recruited from the mainland. According to the investigation and statistics of the Shihezi economic and Technological Development Zone, the average wage of local textile workers has surpassed that of the coastal areas.

< /p >

< p > in southern Xinjiang, this problem is more prominent.

"Basically run away once a year and take the same place as a horse lantern. The enterprise is always in the state of training employees."

"There is no advantage in manpower cost here compared with other textile factories affiliated to the headquarters of the mainland," a company leader said with a bitter smile.

< /p >

< p > < strong > high quality cotton production "big road goods" < /strong > < /p >

What is more difficult than p is that the price difference between imported cotton and domestic cotton at present is about 5000 yuan per ton, which is limited by the management quota of cotton quotas issued by the state. The quota of imported cotton that Xinjiang cotton spinning enterprises can apply to can almost be ignored, so we can not make use of cheap imported cotton "high and low collocation" to reduce the cost.

< /p >

At the same time, compared with the construction of factories in the mainland, the long distance pportation time cost also greatly offset the advantage of investing in Xinjiang. Far from the sales market, enterprises can not cope with the rapidly changing business opportunities in time.

Because the quantity of materials coming out of Xinjiang is much larger than that of Xinjiang, especially in October, with the centralized listing of agricultural products such as cotton, tomato paste and sugar, the contradiction of pportation will further intensify, and the cotton yarn outward bound will inevitably be restricted.

Yin Zongze, head of the Jiangsu textile industry, said that in order to fight for time, in 2012, enterprises could only give up the cotton and yarn export allowance provided by the state and Xinjiang, and pport a batch of yarn to Nantong, Jiangsu, at a cost of 900 yuan per ton freight.

"It's expensive to keep customers," he said.

< /p >

< p > westward shift has slowed down in fact.

A person in charge of Shihezi national economic and Technological Development Zone told reporters that from 2011 to the present, the development zone has not received a textile enterprise to negotiate and invest in the two years since the development zone. In the southern Akesu textile industrial city, the total capacity of the construction and commissioning of the textile industry is less than 1 million ingots, which is far from the goal of 6 million ingots in the planning.

Many companies that plan to expand their business in Xinjiang face difficulties, or they can't stop or invest.

< /p >

Wang P, director of the cotton economics research center of Shihezi University and the vice president of the school of economics and trade, Wang Li, who has long been concerned about the textile industry's "westward advance", said that the new round of "east to West shift" is facing unprecedented impact. It has seriously affected the adjustment of the layout of the textile industry. If a large number of "westward" enterprises can tide over this difficulty, the cotton and textile industry in Xinjiang will be devastating.

< /p >

< p > reporter survey found that although most of the enterprises invested in Xinjiang are using the most advanced equipment in China, they can produce high value-added products, but most of the production is still "big road goods" with low added value.

< /p >

< p > in the central and eastern part of China, the cotton textile enterprises are concentrated, and the cotton spinning industry chain has formed a dragon. But Xinjiang is a pure textile factory, producing single yarn products, and these products still need to be pported to the mainland for long distance sale. Once the downstream customer market is sluggish, the sales of "westward" textile enterprises are immediately blocked.

< /p >

< p > "it's really heartache to spin out cheap high-quality goods with high quality cotton in Xinjiang!" said Hu Jianhua, chief engineer of Li Tian Group, a famous textile enterprise in Zhejiang.

On the other hand, "if the downstream a href=" http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/matertial/show/default.aspx "> clothing < /a > enterprises are always satisfied with the production and export of shirts and jeans with more than ten yuan per piece, then the upper reaches of even more production of high count yarn can not be sold.

Hu Jianhua, who is also the deputy director of the Zhejiang Textile Industry Association and the cotton spinning Specialized Committee, thinks that to save the "East inward shift", the state only gives the preferential policy of "westward advance" is far from enough. We should consider the promotion of the whole textile industry upgrading and formulate relevant policies and measures for the whole industrial chain.
