The Overall Quality Of Cotton Goes Down And The Supply Of Qualified Raw Materials Is Scarce.

Every spring and summer handover is the peak period of cotton sales in China. At this time, clothing manufacturers everywhere need a lot of cotton, but this year's overall quality of cotton has declined and raw materials supply has been embarrassed.

about

Industry, usually 3-5 months for the peak season.

This year is no exception. Since March, there has been news of local sales of yarn everywhere.

In mid April, the the Yellow River River Basin and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, air spinning 21S below, combed 21-40S, combed 32S, 40S and some conventional imported yarn market rebound rapidly, not only the paction is active, the quotation also rises.

As of April 15th, the price of Shandong air spinning 16S was 13200 yuan / ton, up 50 yuan from yesterday, and the price of combed 32S was 19650 yuan / ton line, the price center of gravity rose 100 yuan compared with last week.

The number of orders received by many enterprises increased significantly compared with that in March. A textile enterprise official said: "the spring of the market is coming. We must not fail to live up to the good news."

However, it is understood that many textile enterprises reveal their feelings and express embarrassment in the busy season.

Mainly in several aspects: first, the supply of raw materials is embarrassing.

"We mainly produce combs, combed 32S and 40S, but now cotton is hard to buy."

In April 14th, Liu manager of a textile enterprise in Shandong reflected that since the beginning of April, the whole inland market basically could not find the cotton suitable for their production.

According to its introduction, at present, some cotton banks in the the Yellow River River Basin are characterized by the fact that there are not many mainstream cotton grades in the 3128B class and above. In addition, the local cotton ginning plants have low overall quality and two are sporadic and difficult to organize.

Even if it was patchwork up to 100 tons or 200 tons, the consistency was poor.

Embarrassment in raw materials is the most important thing in the near future.

Prices have risen rapidly, which has made textile enterprises unbearable.

In April 14th, a textile manufacturer in Jiangsu wanted to purchase a few 2128B grade and above Xinjiang hand picked cotton for cotton blending, but the price reached 12650 yuan / ton in the market.

Nowadays many cotton ginning mills and cotton merchants have stopped offering quotations, especially for high quality cotton.

A pessimist said that in 2015, the overall quality of cotton in China was declining, and the structural gap crisis was serious.

Secondly, the import yarn takes advantage of the "disruption", spinning enterprises internal and external troubles.

Internal worries are well understood. Now conventional domestic yarn production capacity is still surplus, and peer competition is fierce.

Foreign invasion is the biggest worry in recent years.

Recently, imported yarn has two characteristics: first, India, Pakistan combs 21S, 32S, 40S and combed 21S, 32S inquiry and paction are relatively active, especially in Vietnam, 32S air jet quotation shows a rapid upward trend.

In terms of price, the price difference between imported yarn and domestic yarn is further reduced to 200-400 yuan / ton.

Two, the recent import of yarn, especially conventional yarn, has increased significantly to port. According to traders, although some India and Pakistan manufacturers have raised the price of some spinning and knitting yarns by 4-5 cents / kg, domestic manufacturers and traders have complained a lot, but the enthusiasm for ordering them has not diminished.

As of April 15th, the import yarn inventory of China's main port free trade zone increased to more than 75 thousand tons.

Some market participants said that although the price difference between the internal and external yarns was narrowed, the advantage of the yarn price advantage was improved to a certain extent, but the impact of imported yarn on domestic yarn should not be underestimated.

On the one hand, import yarn still has price advantage, especially some domestic textile factories are accustomed to using imported yarn, habits are hard to change at the moment; on the other hand, in recent years, the quality of imported yarn, represented by India and Pakistan yarn, has been greatly improved, especially for some domestic manufacturers to set up factories abroad, and then sell products to the domestic market, and the quality even exceeds domestic yarn.

Of course, the situation of domestic textile enterprises has improved a lot during the peak season this year, but due to various factors, most of the textile enterprises have been restricted.

The level is still low, and difficulties remain.

An industry source said that in 2016, the situation of textile enterprises has been fundamentally improved, and there is a long way to go.
