Although the domestic cotton price is higher than the international three thousand five thousand yuan per ton, textile enterprises are looking forward to cotton sighing, but the trend of cotton farmers' abandoning cotton and grain is still hard to reverse this year.

Industry analysts believe that China's cotton prices have faced a dilemma of high and low prices, which will accelerate the entry of textile enterprises from "inventory" to a ruthless stage of enterprise integration, and cotton textile enterprises need to win the chance of survival with branded and high added products.

cotton farmers abandon cotton seed grain

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

In less than a month, it is the time to grow cotton locally. But in Dezhou and Liaocheng, the cotton fields that should have been reserved are 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.

reporters understand that 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 per kilogram. Such cotton prices make farmers gain less than three hundred and five hundred yuan from cotton planting.

"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.

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%.

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.

downstream textile enterprises integration or elimination will aggravate

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

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.

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.

the prospective network has learned that the main reason for the decline of industry competitiveness in China's "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_cj.asp "textile > /a" is the disappearance of 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.

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.

some business operators say domestic competition is more intense under the condition of sluggish external demand. "Some enterprises even bid for each other when bidding, and they have no 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.

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 have a major improvement, now some enterprises have begun to collapse and bankruptcy, this year, the cotton textile industry integration, elimination or trend.

breakout path

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

to help textile enterprises overcome their difficulties, Shandong provincial credit department and some textile enterprises suggest that by adjusting or canceling the double management restrictions of < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > cotton import < /a > quota and sliding tax, reforming the current cotton purchasing and storage system and other measures, the cotton price difference between inside and outside will be constantly reduced; cotton textile enterprises should be encouraged to store cotton as required, so as to ensure reasonable cotton distribution, reduce costs, stabilize and improve product quality, and participate in international market competition fairly.

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, maintain the domestic cotton self sufficiency rate, and ensure the stable and orderly development of the cotton industry.
