Cotton Is An Essential "Rice" And Hebei Textile Is In A Predicament.

In 2015, the development situation of Hebei's textile industry is still grim. The industrial added value and industrial output value continue to run at a low level. Despite the trend of good trend, cotton yarn imports exceed the problems of cotton imports, the rising labor costs and the pressure of environmental protection. So what is the current situation of our province's textile industry? How can we fight out of the current predicament?

　 Low growth rate of industry loss growth slowed down

Hebei is a major textile province. The textile industry is a traditional pillar industry in our province and occupies an important position in the development of the national economy. Since 2015, the development situation of textile industry in our province has been grim, showing a trend of slow growth. In the first half of this year, the provincial textile and apparel industry association surveyed 1058 large scale enterprises (excluding leather, fur, feathers and their products and footwear industry). The survey results showed that the main business income in the first half of 2015 was 98 billion 973 million yuan, an increase of 6.2% over the same period last year, and realized a profit of 5 billion 527 million yuan, an increase of 5.32% over the same period last year, with a slight decline in growth rate, and 136 loss making enterprises, an increase of 29 over the same period last year, an increase of 27.1% over the same period, while the deficit level increased by 10% compared to 1~5 months. The total loss was 504 million yuan, an increase of 33.62% over the same period last year, compared with 55.4% in 1~5 months, and the growth rate of loss was reduced by 21.78. Among them, the loss making enterprises in the textile industry increased by 21, and the total loss was 328 million yuan, an increase of 42% compared to the same period last year. Compared to the 1~5 months, the loss of textile industry increased by 81.4% percentage points by 39.4 percentage points, and the clothing, shoes and hat industry and loss making enterprises increased by 7, with a total loss of 33 million yuan, an increase of 21.6% over the previous year, and a decrease of 35.9 percentage points in the growth rate of losses. The chemical fiber industry also changed from a turnaround deficit to a loss in the first quarter, with a loss of 143 million yuan, a growth rate 20.1%, higher than that of the 1~5 monthly deficit growth rate.

Zhao Jiangang, Secretary General of the provincial textile and garment industry association, said that despite the sharp rise in losses, there are also bright spots in the industry. In the first half of 2015, the textile industry in our province actually completed 30 billion 447 million yuan in fixed assets investment, an increase of 13.79% over the same period last year, and the actual investment in the country ranked eighth. (Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hubei), the growth rate ranked eighteenth in the country. The number of construction projects was 448, down 8.38% from the same period last year, and the number of new construction projects was 290, representing an increase of 1.05% over the same period last year. The number of completed projects was 185, down 11.06% from the same period last year. The absolute number of the three major projects is also significantly higher than that of 1~5 months.

Multiple ropes tied up textile industry "Hands and feet"

As we all know, it is difficult for skilled women to cook rice without rice. For the textile industry, cotton is an essential "rice". It is understood that the average price of cotton in the first quarter of this year was 3300 yuan / ton, narrowing to 2400 yuan / ton in 4 and May. The first quarter imported 468 thousand tons of cotton and 590 thousand tons of imported cotton yarn. Cotton yarn imports exceeded cotton imports for the first time. At present, the import of cotton yarn presents a continuous growth trend, which seriously affects the domestic cotton spinning enterprises including Hebei.

In recent years, the cost of production cost elements of China's textile industry has been continuously raised, and the per capita wages have increased at an annual rate of over 10%. The wage level is much higher than that of the developing neighbouring countries, and the labor cost advantage of the industry in international competition is basically gone. The competitiveness of the international market has obviously weakened.

Zhao Jiangang introduced that in the first half of 2015, the EU's imports increased from 29.6%~53.4% to India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam and Indonesia, and the growth rate of imports from Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Kampuchea was between 18%~29%. Japan's imports from Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand increased by 23%~49. At the same time, China's exports declined sharply. The clothing industry has transferred orders to Southeast Asia.

The textile and dyeing industry is a key monitoring industry of national environmental protection. The rapid increase of investment and operation cost in energy saving and environmental protection has increased the operating cost of enterprises. In addition, Zhao Jiangang said frankly, "in 2015, the monetary policy of the country is still on the basis of stability. Bank credit has significantly reduced financial support for the textile industry. Textile enterprises are classified as credit restricted industries. Therefore, they are deeply troubled by" financing difficulties "and" financing expensive ". The major banks have tightened their lending to the textile industry, lending interest rates have risen to 30%~50%, resulting in increasing financing costs and increasing difficulty in loans. For example, Shijiazhuang Changshan group was tightened by 80 million yuan in the first half of this year. At the same time, the comprehensive rate of loans is relatively high. Most industry enterprises loan interest rate is nearly 20%. Even so, loans from major state-owned banks are still very difficult. In order to solve the problem of capital turnover, enterprises have to borrow high interest loans from small loan companies and pawnshops and other institutions. The textile industry is a small profit industry, and the financial cost increases, which further runs through the only profit of enterprises.

Multi pronged efforts to help textile enterprises soaring high

So, how to solve our province today? Spin What is the outstanding problem facing the industry? Zhao Jiangang suggested that, first of all, increase credit support to key textile enterprises. It is suggested that banks and other relevant financial institutions should be coordinated. In terms of credit, industries with restricted categories can not simply be "one size fits all". They should be treated differently according to the content of the project and the actual situation. It is not easy to reduce the scale of loans for the key textile enterprises that actively eliminate backward production capacity and carry out relocation, transformation and upgrading. We should increase credit support for technology upgrading, product filing, energy saving, efficiency reduction and employment promotion.

Secondly, due to the pressure of environmental protection at present, enterprises are investing more and more in environmental protection. It is suggested that the government give environmental protection investment and policy support, and consider reducing the proportion of environmental investment in proportion. At the same time, we should increase our support for textile exports, support the efforts of the dominant textile enterprises to expand the international market and curb the declining trend of the international market share. We suggest expanding the scope of export insurance underwriting business, giving full financial subsidies to export credit insurance, simplifying the operation, speeding up the export subsidy and export tax rebate.

In addition, support for traditional industries to speed up Transformation and upgrading At present, traditional industries are in an important turning point and critical period of transformation and upgrading, innovation and development. Technological transformation funds, R & D funds, project development funds and two integration funds are generally more intense. It is suggested that the key industries of traditional industries should be tilted in support projects such as technological transformation projects, science and technology projects, technological innovation and new product development projects and two integration.
