< p > by the internal and external < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton price < /a > bad influence, since 2012, China's cotton yarn imports have increased significantly, the import volume increased by nearly 70%.

In 2013, the growth rate remained unchanged, with a total import of 2 million 100 thousand tons, far exceeding the volume of exports, an increase of 37.4%.

The unit price of imports was unchanged from last year.

P > it is worth noting that, in addition to the imports from the traditional sources of India and Pakistan, the number of cotton yarns imported from the United States has been expanding in recent years, and the growth rate is astonishing.

In 2013, 52 thousand tons of cotton yarn imported from the United States increased by 80.5%.

This is mainly related to the low cost of cotton production, good product quality stability, and no quota restrictions on imported cotton yarn.

< p > 2013, China's raw materials (raw materials are not included in textiles and clothing) import volume dropped by 13%, of which cotton fell more, wool and chemical fiber all maintained growth.

The decline in global commodity prices has reduced the average price of raw materials imports by 5.7%, and the import prices of cotton, wool and chemical fiber have all declined.

During the 3 years from 2010 to 2010 in P, cotton imports continued to rise due to the domestic cotton purchase and storage policy and the difference between domestic and foreign cotton prices, which reached a historical peak of 5 million 137 thousand tons in 2012, resulting in a large number of enterprise inventories.

< p > March 24th reported that China's cotton yarn imports slowed down, causing pressure on India's cotton yarn exports.

China imported India cotton yarn at a lower price on the basis of the stronger rupee exchange rate adjustment against the US dollar.

China's import price has decreased by 6-7% in the past month, and the current quotation is 3.3 US dollars / kg.

< /p >

< p > the president of the India Textile Mills Association (SIMA) said that the consumption of Chinese cotton yarn began to decline in February this year, and the import volume in March has decreased significantly.

Before January, the average monthly imports of cotton yarn amounted to 1.1-1.2 billion kg.

< /p >

< p > China is expected to announce the cotton pricing policy in the first week of April.

Therefore, importers are still on the sidelines before importing new cotton yarns.

As cotton reserves are adequate, China will first digest its stock and then buy new ones.

We expect that China's cotton price policy will be beneficial to India, so that the export of cotton yarn will be warmer in May.

< /p >

< p > the Secretary General of the India Textile Industry Federation (Citi) believes that China has now shifted its focus to producing high value-added textile products, thus creating more business opportunities and greater profit margins for India raw materials suppliers.

< /p >

< p > India produces 5 billion 210 million kilograms of yarn in 2013, of which 3 billion 847 million kilograms are cotton yarn.

In the same period, India exported 1 billion 366 million kilograms of yarn, an increase of 42% compared with the previous year.

Although China's demand for India's cotton yarn has slowed down, Pakistan and Vietnam's export of Chinese cotton yarn has not yet weakened.

< /p >

< p > although China is a large export market for cotton yarn in India, Pakistan and Vietnam are equally optimistic about the market.

At present, due to the large number of export orders received by India textile DTI Rupp, India clothing and textile exports still show a good growth momentum.

President Sima predicts that the export of textiles will reach 120 billion rupees in the fiscal year Rupp.
