After Many Fluctuations In The Market, The Domestic Cotton Industry Is Seeking A New Way To Remodel The Cotton Industry In The Future.

Today, cotton life is becoming the trend of consumption. How cotton production and quality directly affect the development of cotton textile enterprises and consumers' experience.

Since the implementation of the cotton target price reform pilot policy, China's cotton prices have returned to the market, cotton farmers' income has been protected, market demand has improved, and cotton textile enterprises' international competitiveness has increased significantly.

But at the same time, the supply of high quality cotton is short, and the cost of cotton planting remains high.

Problems such as insufficient kinetic energy remain to be solved. Recently, the 2017 China International Cotton conference hosted by the China Cotton Association and the national cotton exchange market was held in Chongqing, and many representatives of the cotton textile industry attended the meeting.

Target price reform results show

At the beginning of this year, the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance issued the notice on deepening the reform of cotton target price, and continued to implement the pilot policy of cotton target price reform for 3 years. From the 2014-2017 year, the cotton target price per year was 19800 yuan, 19200 yuan, 18600 yuan and 18600 yuan per ton.

"The linkage between the international cotton market and the international cotton market has been strengthened, and the price gap has narrowed to 1260 yuan / ton in 2016, and the price difference will be smaller this year."

Ke Bingsheng, President of China Agricultural University, said that the price separation mechanism has gradually reduced the cost burden for downstream textile enterprises.

"Cotton planting area has reached the lowest point since reform and opening up."

Ke Bingsheng said.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of statistics, in 2016, the cotton planting area in China was 50 million 642 thousand mu, 11.1% lower than that in 2015, and the total output of cotton in the whole country was 5 million 343 thousand tons, which was 4.6% lower than that in 2015.

The cotton planting area has been cut down, output has been reduced, and continuous storage has reached a reasonable level. The supply and demand of cotton has been balanced.

Meanwhile,

Quality has improved significantly.

Zhang Zhiyang, vice president of Henan Chao Ge Textile Group, said that market guidance is playing a role. Cotton producers pay more attention to improving the quality of cotton. The main production areas such as Xinjiang and other places have been improved from seed selection, cultivation mode, cotton processing and pportation, and the quality cotton produced has become the first choice for some high-end cotton spinning enterprises.

The awareness of the upstream and downstream industries is enhanced, farmers choose cotton varieties to pay more attention to marketability, and cotton enterprises pay more attention to the subdivision level.

Ke Bingsheng gave a set of data. Last year, China's cotton fiber processing volume increased to 7 million 150 thousand tons, an increase of 6% over the same period last year, while foreign cotton imports dropped to 960 thousand tons, down 42.5% from the same period last year, and cotton yarn imports dropped to 1 million 970 thousand tons, down 16.1% from the same period last year.

"Policy changes bring about adjustments in the layout of production and processing, and the market fluctuates several times, and the industry wins the fittest."

Dai Gongxing, President of China Cotton Association, said that during the cotton target price reform pilot period, the cotton industry was running smoothly and the cotton farmers' income was guaranteed.

In the next 5-10 years, China's cotton production is expected to be no less than 5 million tons, which can meet the demand of textile market 2/3.

High quality cotton is still short board.

"Domestic cotton this year"

Generally good, but high quality cotton is still lacking. "

Zhang Zhiyang said that with the pformation of domestic textile enterprises, the demand for high-quality cotton in the downstream of the cotton industry chain has been increasing. However, the output of high-quality cotton in China is unable to meet the increasing demand for textile consumption.

At the same time, the quality cotton in reserve cotton keeps decreasing, and the demand for imported cotton is stronger.

Zhu Beina, President of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, said that China's cotton looks at Xinjiang, but Xinjiang cotton is of good quality, but it has little difference compared with foreign countries.

The quality cotton that downstream enterprises need can not be satisfied, which has become a "heart disease" of cotton spinning enterprises.

"The low degree of mechanization is one of the main factors that affect the quality of domestic cotton."

Gao Fang, executive director of the China Federation of supply and marketing cooperatives, said that due to the small scale of production and low intensity of land use, advanced cotton planting technology has been restricted in China.

In terms of mechanization level, Xinjiang's mechanical recovery rate is only 31%, of which 70% are production and Construction Corps, while the mainland is mainly manual picking.

At the same time, the production cost is increased by manual picking.

At present, the total cost of hand picking cotton planting in Xinjiang is about 2000 yuan per mu, and the labor cost of manual picking has accounted for more than 50% of the total cost. "High cost and low yield, if there is no subsidy, Xinjiang cotton production profit is negative."

The upstream planting cost is not reduced, and the market demand is weak. The downstream processing market is still not strong enough. Many cotton processing enterprises have excess capacity, and the national 400 type processing enterprises have only 31% operating rate, of which Xinjiang has a 80% operating rate.

Luo Lin, a member of the leading group of the China national supply and marketing cooperative group, said that the industry's innovation motive is not enough. It is still a long way from "made in China" to "created in China". In the face of large and consuming market groups, many enterprises are unable to provide high quality products and high standard services.

Transformation and innovation is the key.

"In the future, domestic cotton supply and demand gap still exists, especially the lack of high-quality cotton has seriously affected the competitiveness of the industry, so we must spare no effort to improve the quality of cotton and expand the effective and high-end supply to meet market demand."

Gao Fang said that the upgrading of cotton's internal quality has a process, which requires orderly guidance and management of policies and markets.

The quality of cotton must be grasped from the planting end and grabbed from the source.

Cao Huiqing, chairman of Xinjiang cotton padded jacket farmers' professional cooperatives, suggested: "establish a variety of industrial consortium, let consumption be forced to produce, what kind of cotton the textile factory needs, and what kind of cotton will the producers produce.

Cotton growers through order production, forming a planting mode of "one district, one product, one county, one product", and solve the problems of cotton variety and miscellaneous, cotton farmers scattered and small, and achieve large-scale production.

Zhu Beina also believes that China's cotton production needs intensive and large-scale production, and the most advanced production methods and technologies should be encouraged to reduce costs effectively.

"At present, some cotton spinning enterprises have achieved rapid pformation, and digital production is striding forward. Chemical fiber production technology is ahead of cotton spinning, and its development will surely promote technological progress of cotton spinning enterprises."

Emphasis on quality is emphasis on brand building.

Sun Xiaoting, chairman of the cotton consumption branch of China Cotton Association, said that the market is pregnant with a turnaround in the downturn. The improvement of cotton production quality and efficiency can not only promote the pformation and upgrading of the cotton industry, but also boost the development of textile enterprises. The added value of textile products will be improved, which will help eliminate backward production capacity, make efforts to build high-end cotton products and create famous brands.

In addition to dealing with the relationship between supply and demand, docking production and marketing, and "reshaping the future of cotton", Luo Lin suggested that we should play the role of two hands of the government and the market in order to further deepen the reform of cotton target prices.

In addition, we need to find a way out in the innovation.

"Internet + agriculture" is also good, online and offline integration development is good, through all levels of innovation for cotton this traditional industry to inject new vitality, stimulate the whole industry innovation vitality and potential.
