Cotton Mills Are Facing Difficulties Because Of High Cotton Prices.

< p > < strong > the price difference between inside and outside is huge. < /strong > a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/Matertial/show/default.aspx" > strong > cotton growers < /strong > /a > strong > still abandoning cotton seed grain < /strong > < > >

In the middle of March, the northwest of P was full of spring.

In less than a month, it was time for cotton growing locally. But reporters in Dezhou, Liaocheng and other places found that the cotton fields that should have been reserved have now turned into green and green wheat fields.

"Originally this piece is cotton field."

Jin Qingli, a farmer in Jin Hao Zhuang Town, Linqing City, Shandong, pointed to a large wheat field. The cotton prices were low in the past two years, and four acres of cotton fields were replanted to wheat.

< /p >

< p > in September last year, the state raised the price of cotton temporary storage and storage to 20400 yuan per ton, which was equivalent to 8.7 yuan / kg of seed cotton.

However, because cotton quality is generally not up to that level, the purchase price of Dezhou and Liaocheng has been only about 8 yuan / kg, and the cotton price has made farmers gain less than three hundred and five hundred yuan from cotton seed production (2514,27.00,1.09%).

< /p >

< p > "from the survey of cotton farmers' planting intention this year, the cotton planting area in Dezhou will decrease by about 13%, only about 1 million 100 thousand mu, and the planting area in 2008 will be 2 million 900 thousand mu."

Ma Junkai, Deputy Secretary General of Dezhou Cotton Association, said.

< /p >

< p > in the whole country, the situation is not optimistic.

In 2012, China's cotton planting area was 4 million 700 thousand hectares, a decrease of 340 thousand hectares compared with that of the previous year.

According to the national cotton market monitoring system, the cotton planting area of 67 million 515 thousand mu this year decreased by 4 million 272 thousand mu, a decrease of 6%.

< /p >

< p > although cotton growers complain that cotton prices are too low, the relative international cotton prices are obviously higher.

According to the monitoring, in early March, the price of China's main port for import cotton was about 15 thousand yuan / ton, while the domestic price was about 20 thousand yuan / ton, and the price difference per ton was about 5000 yuan, which made downstream cotton textile enterprises complain that the price was unreasonable and difficult to participate in international competition.

< p > "the year before last is going to stock, last year is going to capacity, and this year is going directly to the enterprise".

< /p >

< p > Shandong Silk Textile Co., Ltd. is one of the largest textile enterprises in Weifang, with a spinning capacity of 200 thousand spindles.

When hearing the orders from the staff attending the exhibition in Korea, the general manager Guo Xinzhong's face was full of smiles.

"In the case of such a big difference in cotton prices in China, the foreign trade market is very difficult to do. With a few large lists, it will be practical."

Guo Xinzhong said.

< /p >

< p > according to customs data, the total export volume of textile and apparel in 2012 increased by 2.84% over the same period last year, down 17.20 percentage points from the growth level in 2011.

Sun Liwu, an analyst with cotton industry, said that Southeast Asian countries are taking advantage of low cost to occupy China's market share or even impact on the Chinese market. It is decided that the recovery of China's textile industry in 2013 will still be full of challenges.

< /p >

< p > the main reason for the decline of the competitiveness of the domestic textile industry is the disappearance of the labor cost advantage.

"The cost of labor in Vietnam and India is only between $60 and $100 per month, and the local level has reached 2800 yuan, and it has to go up."

Guo Xinzhong said.

< /p >

< p > although wages are rising continuously, enterprises still suffer from "recruitment difficulties".

In recent years, the market of Shandong Ya Li clothing group has maintained a steady growth trend, and a new factory area has been established. However, due to the difficulty of recruiting workers, the new factory has not been fully operational today.

"We had planned to introduce workers in Pakistan and Bangladesh, but we failed in the end."

Yuan Wenhe, chairman of the company, told reporters that in recent years, the company's wages have increased by more than 15% in order to retain workers.

< /p >

< p > some business operators told reporters that domestic demand was not strong enough, and domestic competition became more intense. "Some enterprises even bid for each other when bidding, so they did not profit at all."

In addition, the rise in electricity prices and the appreciation of the renminbi have also aggravated the difficulty of the operation of enterprises.

< /p >

< p > according to the data of Shandong Provincial Textile Industry Association, Shandong's textile enterprises above Designated Size last year suffered a loss of 6.97%, an increase of 1.42 percentage points.

Ma Junkai analysis believes that this year's cotton textile situation is still difficult to make a big improvement. At present, some enterprises are going bankrupt and bankrupt. This year cotton textile industry is integrated, eliminated or trend.

< /p >

< p > < strong > avoid the same low-end competition as the main breakthrough path < /strong > < /p >

P reporters learned that faced with unprecedented difficulties, textile enterprises are trying their best to lower costs and expand market as much as possible, but from the perspective of better developed enterprises, they avoid the same low-end competition and win high added value in core competitive power in the segmented market, thus becoming an important way for textile enterprises to break through.

< /p >

< p > Yuan Wenhe said that the steady development of enterprises in recent years is mainly due to the company doing fine work clothes and group buying business, and has won a large number of repeat customers by quality and reputation. At present, the company's products have a large market share in the work clothes market of financial institutions, airlines and other industries.

< /p >

< p > to help textile enterprises overcome their difficulties, the Shandong provincial credit department and some textile enterprises suggest that by adjusting or canceling the double management restrictions of cotton import quotas and sliding duties, and reforming the current cotton purchasing and storage system, the cotton price difference between domestic and foreign enterprises will be narrowed constantly, and cotton textile enterprises should be encouraged to store cotton as required, so as to ensure reasonable cotton distribution, reduce costs, stabilize product quality and participate in international market competition.

< /p >

< p > for the interests of cotton growers, Ma Junkai and other industry insiders believe that the state should continue to implement the cotton purchase and storage policy, and raise the cotton temporary purchase and storage price in 2013 before the new cotton planting, so as to mobilize cotton farmers' enthusiasm for planting cotton, and establish a cotton direct subsidy mechanism as soon as possible according to the grain direct subsidy policy. According to the subsidy standard of not less than 100 yuan / mu, direct subsidy will be applied to cotton growers to stabilize the cotton planting area and maintain the domestic cotton self sufficiency rate.
