Cotton Industry Chain Enters New Deal Adjustment Period

< p > in the critical period of cotton policy adjustment, how will the cotton industry develop? Especially what impact will it have on the textile industry? At the 2014 China Cotton Summit Forum recently held, leaders from relevant departments, industry experts and scholars, and the heads of the upstream and downstream enterprises of the cotton industry chain have conducted in-depth and heated discussions on a series of issues such as the new cotton policy.

< /p >

< p > < strong > advantages and disadvantages of the old policy < /strong > < /p >

< p > > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > storage and storage > /a > three years, cotton growers' income is increasing, cotton output and market price are stable, and the general goal of purchasing and storing policy has been realized.

The policy of collecting and storing has played an important role in protecting the interests of cotton farmers and ensuring market stability.

Although stabilizing the fluctuations brought about by cotton prices, it has caused a serious upside down of cotton prices at home and abroad, and the competitiveness of textile enterprises has been greatly weakened.

< /p >

< p > the cotton temporary purchase and storage policy implemented since 2011 has been in existence for three years.

In the past three years, the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy has fully played the role of stabilizing cotton prices.

< /p >

< p > data show that the average price of seed cotton purchase in 2011~2013 is 8.44 yuan / kg, which is nearly 20% higher than that in the 2008~2010 year before storage.

Domestic cotton price (standard level) basically stabilized at 19 thousand yuan / ton, the fluctuation range is not more than 10%, while the international market cotton price fluctuation over the same period of more than 30%.

< /p >

In the past three years, the income of cotton growers has increased, and cotton production and market prices have been stable. The overall goal of purchasing and storing policies has been realized in the past P years.

The policy of collecting and storing has played an important role in protecting the interests of cotton farmers and ensuring market stability.

Zhou Shengtao, President of China Cotton Association pointed out.

< /p >

< p > in spite of stabilizing the fluctuation of cotton prices at the beginning, it has caused a serious upside down of cotton prices at home and abroad, and the competitiveness of textile enterprises has been greatly weakened.

At the same time, cotton growers have not benefited from the policy, and the side effects brought about by the policy have become a denouncement.

< /p >

< p > Zhou Shengtao also said at the meeting that cotton temporary purchase and storage policy also caused problems such as failure of price signals, lack of vitality in the market, expansion of internal and external spreads, and aggravation of financial burden.

< /p >

The "P" textile industry is the direct "victim" of the cotton temporary policy.

In the past three years, due to the impact of cotton temporary policy, textile enterprises can be said to be difficult.

In this year's junior high school Textile Alliance research, it was pointed out that due to the cotton price difference caused by the cotton policy at home and abroad and the impact of cotton quality, the operation of the enterprises was extremely difficult.

In addition, enterprises generally reflect that the quality of national cotton reserves is poor, grades are not divided, and there are problems such as weight loss.

< /p >

< p > the serious inversion of cotton price has also caused a large number of imported cotton yarn to impact our market, and China has become an importing country from the exporter of cotton yarn.

< /p >

"P >" because of the influence of policy, China's cotton yarn imports in recent years have increased by almost 600 thousand tons annually.

If we import 1 million 100 thousand tons of cotton yarn every year, it means that 10 million to 12 million of the cotton textile spindles will be eliminated.

Yang Shibin, assistant president of China Textile Industry Federation, said.

< /p >

< p > but in the dialect of deputy director of the rural economic department of the national development and Reform Commission, it seems that the policy of temporary purchase and storage of cotton is not based on the acquisition of the whole country, but rather to formulate a reasonable price and to balance the interests of farmers and enterprises.

< /p >

< p > "let's make an assumption that if the price of cotton temporary storage is not so high, the price difference between domestic and international prices is not so great, and the policy effect may be different."

Dialect says.

< /p >

< p > < strong > the new policy has a positive meaning < /strong > < /p >

< p > this year, the state launched the pilot reform of Xinjiang cotton < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > target price < /a >. The abolition of temporary purchase and storage is to adhere to the principle of market pricing and explore the reform of promoting the decoupling of cotton price formation mechanism from government subsidies. While protecting the basic income of cotton farmers, the market mechanism will play a decisive role under the premise of improving the market regulation system.

< /p >

< p > under the background of deepening reform, policies that do not conform to the laws of the market will surely become the primary goal of reform.

In April this year, the national development and Reform Commission announced the abolition of the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy and implemented the target price policy.

For the introduction of this new policy, insiders said that the introduction of the new policy is of great significance for the future development of the cotton industry chain.

< /p >

< p > "I am very much in favor of the target price. At least the target price has been put on the direct subsidy of cotton farmers for many years, and this year can be implemented. I think it is very positive in the whole sense."

Zhu Beina, President of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, believes that the new target price policy has returned to the market, allowing the market to decide the price.

Although the specific policy details of the target price have not yet been released, the textile industry should be taken into consideration in any case.

< /p >

< p > "cotton is ultimately used for textile. Only when the cotton textile enterprises are ready can more cotton be used so that cotton growers can get more benefits."

Zhu Beina said.

< /p >

Zhou Shengtao, a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > China Cotton Association < /a > president, also said that this year the state launched the Xinjiang cotton target price reform pilot program, abolished the temporary purchase and storage, that is, adhere to the principle of market pricing, explore and promote the reform of the cotton price formation mechanism and decoupling of government subsidies, while ensuring the basic income of cotton farmers, and in the premise of improving the market regulation system, let the market mechanism play a decisive role in the reform of the market mechanism.

< /p >

< p > "target price reform pilot will have a greater impact on all sides of the industrial chain. It should be said to be both an opportunity and a challenge."

Luo Lin, vice chairman of the China national supply and marketing cooperative party group and vice president of the Council, stressed that both cotton farmers and enterprises should step out of the inertia thinking of the temporary purchasing and storage policy, accurately grasp relevant state policies, pay attention to the supply and demand situation in the international and domestic markets, and ensure the normal operation of production and operation.

< /p >

< p > < strong > expect policy details to be promulgated as soon as possible < /strong > /p >

< p > hope that the specific details of the policy can come out as soon as possible and give cotton growers a reassurance.

Dialect, deputy director of the rural economic department of the national development and Reform Commission, said that the relevant measures needed to be perfected in the next step are being actively studied to ensure that the target price policy of cotton can go on.

< /p >

< p > although the national development and Reform Commission announced the implementation of the cotton target price policy, the details of the policy have not yet been promulgated.

In this regard, the industry also put forward some suggestions for the new cotton policy.

< /p >

"P >" cotton target price policy "pointed out that when the market price is lower than the target price, the state will subsidize the difference to the cotton growers, and when the market price is higher than the target price, the subsidy will not be applied.

What is the basis of the subsidy? Is it subsidized by production or area? Is it a one-off subsidy or a two subsidy? How do we set the output? "Liang Dongya, general manager of the cotton and ramie company of Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, believes that the follow-up policy should be clear in these areas.

< /p >

< p > "I personally feel that subsidized by production is conducive to scientific farming and intensive management.

In terms of output statistics, it now tends to be based on the number of public inspection. "

Liang Dongya said.

< /p >

< p > Wang Jianhong, deputy director of the cotton and hemp Bureau of the China Federation of supply and marketing cooperatives, believes that in the implementation of the new cotton policy, if the cotton market is difficult to sell cotton and the market price is falling faster, the state should encourage pluralistic subjects to participate in the acquisition of cotton, stabilize the cotton market and protect the interests of cotton growers.

At the same time, we should strengthen support for Xinjiang's textile industry, and we should also make proper subsidies to non pilot areas.

< /p >

< p > the two deputy general manager of the Agricultural Development Bank of China Li Wenwu also made three suggestions for the cotton business in the new year.

He suggested that, first, the price of cotton will be formed by the market itself. The state still needs to strengthen macroeconomic regulation and control, make use of the regulating function and price guidance function of the national cotton store, and give the market a stable and clear signal to avoid the ups and downs of cotton prices.

Two, in view of the particularities of Xinjiang, it is suggested that the relevant departments of the state should pay close attention to the study of the contingency mechanism matching the target price subsidy policy.

Three, this year is the first year of the acquisition market liberalization. It is estimated that there may be a game inquiry process in the acquisition of supply and demand sides. The progress of individual local acquisitions may slow down. As long as there is no large area and systematic "selling cotton difficult", all parties, especially local governments, should maintain certain policy strength, do not intervene in acquisitions, and play a leading role in the market.

< /p >

< p > "if possible, I hope that the details of specific policies can come out as early as possible, what kind of way it is and what policy support it is, hoping to give cotton growers a reassurance. Early on, cotton farmers will not play drums."

Lu Huaiyu, President of the Rural Technology Service Association of Hejian City, also said.

< /p >

< p > for this, the deputy director of the rural economic department of the national development and Reform Commission said that the relevant measures needed to be perfected in the next step are being actively studied to ensure that the target price policy of cotton can go on.

< /p >

< p > "target price is a new thing for China. It shows that China has made a welcome step in deciding the price of the market, and how this step is going to be more solid under the overall supporting policy framework."

Dialect points out.
