Textile Industry Develops Restricted Raw Materials Purchasing And Storage Policy To Ensure Domestic Prices

Raw material supply is not enough.

China classics clothing The forecast results of industrial prosperity index show that due to the pressure of rising factor costs and other pressures have not been significantly alleviated, the industry boom is still weak. Come from Spin Enterprise level information also shows that raw material constraint is the main constraint factor for the decline of the international market share of textile industry. How to break through the bottleneck of raw materials, increase innovation and increase the added value of products is becoming a major issue facing the industry.

At the 2013 China International Cotton Textile Conference and the China International Textile raw materials market held recently, the Tak Thai textile from Qingyuan, Guangdong attracted the attention of reporters. This is a small and medium-sized textile enterprise with 50 thousand spindles, and its monthly cotton consumption is about 1000 tons. However, with the continuous structural adjustment in recent years and the continuous high price of cotton and domestic and foreign cotton, whether cotton can successfully get good use has become the most difficult thing for this enterprise. "Small businesses are more difficult to get cotton and ready to stop production and close factories." Chen Jiaolan, the head of the enterprise, said helplessly.

"The quality of cotton has not been guaranteed, and the problem of" three silk "that has troubled cotton spinning enterprises has been increasing for many years. It is more difficult to make products with high quality, high quality and high added value. Hubei Xiao cotton related responsible person said that raw materials were not able to reduce the competitiveness of domestic cotton textile products. Cotton channel is not smooth, cotton quality is uneven, cotton spinning enterprises can not get raw cotton through normal channels, and dare not rest assured to participate in cotton auction, in the raw material link is controlled by others.

At present, raw material It has become a fundamental problem affecting the development of textile industry. Zhu Hongren, chief engineer of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said at the meeting that China's temporary cotton purchase and storage policy is ensuring the interests of cotton farmers and stabilizing domestic cotton prices, but to a certain extent, it expands the price difference between domestic and foreign cotton and has a great impact on the competitiveness of the textile industry. In particular, small and medium sized enterprises, mainly cotton spinning, face particularly outstanding survival difficulties.

Wang Tiankai, President of the China Federation of textile industry, said that when the price of cotton at home and abroad is within 2000 yuan per ton, the industry can still be hedged through technological progress and variety development. However, when the price of cotton spreads to 4000 yuan or more per ton, the losses caused by high cost can hardly be compensated by other means.

Take measures to solve breakthroughs

How can we not get stuck in the raw materials? The industry is calling for an appropriate adjustment to the temporary storage and purchase policy, but also actively taking action to make a variety of attempts to solve the raw material problems, shift to non cotton fields and increase the intensity of alternative fiber development.

Vice president of China Academy of Textile Science Li Xin In China's international textile raw materials market conference, it tells a detail: family members are buying for their children. clothes When asked, is this garment all cotton? As we all know, breathability, sweat absorption and comfort are the advantages of natural fiber products including cotton clothing, but the reality is that at present, natural fibers including cotton, wool, linen and silk are growing very little in the world.

According to Gao Yong, vice president of China Federation of textile industry, last year, fiber consumption in China was more than 45 million tons, of which less than 9 million tons of cotton were used, and wool consumption was about 400 thousand tons per year, with a total consumption of about 70 to 800 thousand tons of silk and about 100 thousand tons of silk consumption.

"Other fiber market is relatively open, enterprises can choose independently." Di Hui, head of Huarun textile, told reporters that profit from the cost of upstream raw materials and the increasingly thin profits forced companies to speed up their shift towards non cotton fibers. At present, the proportion of three or four of the enterprises has shifted to non cotton production.

At present, textile enterprises have increased the proportion of blending, and the number of blended products is increasing. At the same time, chemical fiber as the raw material of the replacement fiber began to be used in large quantities.

"On the one hand, polyester fiber is surplus, which requires industrial adjustment and upgrading. On the other hand, natural fiber is also facing a shortage of resources. The development and utilization of synthetic fibers can combine these two aspects together, hoping to help solve the problem of raw materials. Li Xin, an industry researcher who has been engaged in fiber research for many years, said that cotton imitation polyester has outstanding technical characteristics, first of all, high quality, in addition to the uniformity of fiber, but also the stability of fiber in the dyeing and finishing process and the use process. Secondly, it is highly functional, the cotton imitation fiber is at the core of comfort, and has a significant improvement in specific areas. In addition, the energy consumption and emissions of the manufacturing process are significantly reduced.
