"Three High" Jeopardize Textile Enterprises To Buy And Store Cotton, Negative Effects Intensified

< p > the cotton purchasing and storage mechanism has brought many difficulties to the textile enterprises. Meanwhile, it should protect the interests of cotton farmers.

However, a variety of phenomena show that cotton farmers are not buying the current mechanism of purchasing and storage.

Cotton production and storage prices increased last year, but cotton production continued to shrink.

< /p >

< p > the proportion of cotton in < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > fabric is becoming lighter and lighter. Instead of polyester fiber, spandex, nylon, modal and other chemical fibers.

< a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > the change of fabric composition is closely related to the domestic cotton temporary purchase and storage policy.

< /p >

The policy of temporary storage and purchase of cotton, which began in 2011, has been increasingly criticized by P.

Domestic and foreign cotton price difference hanging upside down, import cotton wantonly impact domestic cotton market, cotton spinning enterprise survival dilemma, and other issues, is seriously affecting the international competitiveness of Chinese cotton textile products.

< /p >

< p > with the increasing competition of cotton < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a >, the recent call for the adjustment of cotton purchasing and storage policy is more intense.

Although it is not known when the cotton purchase and storage policy will be adjusted, the Securities Times reporter learned from the interviews with cotton traders and traders that the current situation of the "three high" (high cotton price, high price difference and high inventory) of the domestic textile enterprises has made the national cotton store in an unprecedented embarrassment.

< /p >

< p > < strong > small and medium textile enterprises have a hard time, < /strong > /p >

Despite the high price of admission tickets, the "China Import yarn" forum held in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, P, has attracted nearly 1000 domestic cotton textile players.

Everyone is exchanging information with each other, asking about their current situation.

These can not help but feel the anxiety of the entire cotton textile industry.

< /p >

< p > "the relevant departments have paid attention to the problem of cotton textile industry chain. More than ten cotton related departments have unified their ideas and think that the national reserve cotton policy should be adjusted."

Wang Qingcui, Secretary General of the China Cotton Textile Industry Association, revealed the trend of the industry to reporters at the meeting. "In May 23rd and June 18th, the national development and Reform Commission convened a meeting of the cotton related departments to study the specific adjustment of the cotton policy. We all think that the cotton policy has come to a period of adjustment, but the specific adjustment is still under study."

< /p >

< p > however, the China Cotton Association has said that this year's policy changes are not true, and the policy of purchasing and storage will be implemented.

If the cotton regulation policy is improved or adjusted, the premise is also clear: ensuring the sustainable and stable development of cotton industry.

< /p >

< p > for the domestic cotton textile enterprises, the high cotton price and high price difference make the enterprises lose competitiveness in the global market.

< /p >

"P >" such a high price difference, so that we simply can not compete in the international market, do not mention the United States, Australia, and now even less than India, Pakistan.

If the price of the national cotton reserves is produced at present, there will be little profit for the enterprises.

Zhejiang Xinhai Textile Co., Ltd. supplies department Chen Zhanfeng said.

< /p >

< p > this year, the domestic cotton purchase and storage price is 20 thousand and 400 yuan / ton, and the price difference with the international cotton reaches 4000~5000 yuan per ton.

Since cotton accounts for 7 of the total cost of textile enterprises, if the domestic cotton is used, the cost per ton of spinning for the enterprise will be more than 4000 yuan, and the average cost of cotton yarn per ton is 30 thousand yuan, and the overpayment cost will be more than 10%.

< /p >

< p > to reduce the pressure brought by high cotton prices to textile enterprises, the proportion of import quotas issued by 3:1 has been implemented this year.

That is to say, textile enterprises must purchase 3 tons of national cotton reserves to get 1 tons of imported cotton quotas.

< /p >

"P >" big enterprises can still rely on import quotas to support them, but our small businesses are powerless.

At present, only a few enterprises with competitive qualification can enjoy the fact that a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises are not qualified at all. "

Faced with the current domestic import quota system, Jin Xin, head of Nantong Textile Co., Ltd., Zhang Yongjian, seemed very helpless.

< /p >

< p > because of the impact of high cotton price and high price difference, many enterprises are forced to use chemical fibers instead of cotton.

Di Hui, deputy general manager of Huarun Textile Group Co., Ltd., said that enterprises tried to reopen the market and had shifted 30% of their production to non cotton products.

< /p >

< p > aiming at the survival status of domestic textile enterprises, the Chinese Cotton Textile Industry Association conducted a questionnaire survey on 200 textile enterprises in June this year. The final feedback information is that the large textile enterprises are still good, and the small and medium-sized textile enterprises are in poor condition.

< /p >

< p > specific data show that in April of this year, the starting rate of large textile enterprises was 90%, most of the small enterprises were less than 85%, and the deficit was 25%, and the 1/3 enterprises' orders decreased in the two quarter.

"Especially after May, a lot of textile enterprise base appeared the phenomenon that small and medium-sized textile enterprises shut down and stop."

Wang Qingcui added.

< /p >

< p > < strong > Direct Subsidy cotton growers cry high < /strong > /p >

< p > many textile personages told reporters that China's implementation of the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy since the year 2011 has obvious effect on the protection of farmers' interests and the stability of the cotton market.

However, when the international cotton price dropped sharply in 2012, the policy of purchasing and storage was still implemented in China, and the price of storage and storage was raised. This "policy market" destroyed the original ecological environment, which brought some difficulties to domestic cotton spinning.

< /p >

< p > the cotton purchasing and storage mechanism has brought many difficulties to the textile enterprises. Meanwhile, it should protect the interests of cotton farmers.

However, a variety of phenomena show that cotton farmers are not buying the current mechanism of purchasing and storage.

< /p >

< p > China Cotton Association's intention survey data show that in 2013, domestic cotton planting area was 68 million 160 thousand mu, down 6.8% compared with the same period last year, the lowest record in 10 years.

In other words, although the price of cotton purchase and storage rose last year, cotton production continued to shrink, and the stability of cotton production was facing new challenges.

< /p >

< p > "at present, the drawback of the system of collecting and storing is that the state subsidies are returned to the peasants through the circulation enterprises.

But experience shows that this kind of price subsidy policy supporting the circulation is inefficient.

In short, the purchase and storage policy did not directly take care of cotton farmers. Most of the subsidies were eaten by central enterprises and traders.

Guo Weile, deputy manager of the Information Department of Zhejiang Huarui information company, is outspoken.

< /p >

Guo Weile, who has been involved in the cotton textile industry for nearly 10 years, has gone deep into field research of cotton growing provinces for many times in the past P years.

He told reporters that although cotton growers planted cotton with a national bottom purchase, cotton farmers had their own accounts. Many cotton farmers found that the current policy of collecting and storing did not bring much benefits to themselves, and it did not benefit from planting other crops.

In addition, the cost of cotton planting has risen sharply in recent years, and the enthusiasm of cotton growers has declined.

< /p >

< p > the shrinkage of cotton planting area also indicates that the marginal effect on cotton growers is decreasing as cotton purchase and storage enter the third year.

Against this background, following the United States directly, direct subsidy to cotton farmers has become the highest voice reform plan.

< /p >

< p > the data provided by China Cotton Textile Industry Association show that about 50% of enterprises recommend stopping the purchase and storage, instead of implementing direct subsidy to cotton growers; 43% of enterprises recommend parallel storage and direct subsidy to cotton farmers; 31% of enterprises recommend that they should be tested from Xinjiang, covering all Xinjiang; 69% of enterprises suggest that all cotton areas should be directly subsidized.

< /p >

< p > however, some of the people in the industry questioned the policy of direct subsidy to cotton growers.

Some people in the industry pointed out that the direct subsidy policy of the United States was relatively large, and the subsidy amount accounted for about half of the cotton price. However, the United States was a large-scale farm organization unit, while about 40 million cotton growers in China were mainly small workshops.

< /p >

< p > Guo Weile believes that the adjustment of cotton purchase and storage policy can be carried out step by step, but for the domestic textile enterprises, the most urgent task is to let the enterprises in a fair competition environment, otherwise the spinning enterprises will fall down and the cotton farmers will not be able to talk about it.

< /p >

< p > < strong > inventory pressure increased < /strong > < /p >

< p > for cotton in China, the reason why things are scarce is not applicable.

The domestic cotton price is higher than the international cotton price, so the current stock is not small.

< /p >

< p > a widely accepted view is that after two years of acquisition, China's cotton stocks are about 800~900 million tons, and will continue to increase in the next year (2013/2014), and the stock is expected to rise to 13 million tons.

< /p >

< p > China's current stock of cotton is enough to shock global cotton traders.

At present, cotton consumption in the world is less than 24 million tons in 1 years, and China now has about 10 million tons of inventory.

Therefore, many people worry that if the national cotton stocks begin to sell in large quantities, it will cause the global cotton prices to fall.

< /p >

< p > on the current stock of national cotton reserves, Guo Weile gave the reporter an account: last year, domestic cotton consumption was about 7 million 400 thousand tons, that is to say, even if China's cotton growers were no longer planted, the imported cotton stopped completely, and about 1000 tons of national cotton stores also needed 1~2 years' inventory time.

The problem is that imported cotton is still pouring in, and cotton farmers in China are still supplying cotton continuously.

Therefore, it is estimated that it will take 5~8 years to consume the current inventory.

In general, cotton stands for 1 and a half years, it will drop a grade, placed 5 years of cotton, basically can not be used.

< /p >

< p > for cotton quality at present, cotton enterprises also have some complaints.

A number of interviewed textile enterprises pointed out that domestic cotton "three silk" (cotton mixed with silk, linen, hair and so on, commonly known as "three silk") and more debris.

< /p >

< p > a large and medium-sized textile enterprise in Shandong admitted to reporters that the national cotton store is not only expensive, but also has quality problems. The company needs good cotton, and often buys from Xinjiang, Australia and the United States. Among them, Xinjiang's long staple cotton is a large variety of the company's consumption, but this kind of cotton is not in the collection and storage.

If it were not for the distribution policy of import quotas this year, it is estimated that not many people would like to buy national cotton reserves.

< /p >

< p > the more serious reality is that as the total amount of cotton storage and storage increases rapidly, the inventory risk is being amplified.

At present, the stock of national cotton reserves is 9 million tons, which is calculated according to the price of 20 thousand yuan / ton of storage and storage price. This means that the state has occupied nearly 180 billion of the fiscal expenditure for the storage and purchase, plus a huge amount of warehousing costs, it can be said that the financial burden is very heavy.

Some people worry that if the inventory is not cleaned up in time, the cotton stored in the next year will probably become a problem.

< /p >

< p > in many people's view, today's national storage cotton is like a huge dammed lake, forcing the policy of purchasing and storage into a dilemma: if we continue to buy and store, the pressure of the funds will be heavy, the national finance will be overburdened. If we let out the stock and the market fluctuates violently, we will hurt the domestic cotton growers and destroy our cotton industry.

< /p >

< p > it can be said that the trend of embarrassing national cotton stores has become the focus of the industry.

The change and adjustment of cotton purchase and storage policy is a major concern of the cotton spinning industry at present.
