The decisive role of the state in the allocation of resources

Xinjiang, the main producing area, has launched a pilot project on cotton target price reform. When the market price of cotton is lower than the target price, the state will subsidize cotton farmers.

3 years after the pilot, the 2017 China International Cotton Conference was opened in Chongqing, and more than 800 cotton growers and cotton traders from 19 countries and regions.

Representatives of enterprises and industry experts expressed their views at the meeting.

In their eyes, has the domestic cotton market improved?

Higher quality and higher income for cotton farmers

In 2016, the global cotton production area and output both slipped, the lowest point in nearly 5 years.

Among the major cotton producing countries, China has the largest decline in production, and India has surpassed China as the largest cotton producing country.

"The decline is caused by two reasons.

First, because of imports, domestic cotton will compete with international cotton.

Another very important reason is the rising labor costs in the country, which makes domestic cotton less competitive than vegetables and fruits.

China Agricultural University President Ke Bingsheng said.

"In the past year, although the total output of cotton in the whole country has declined and prices have fluctuated, cotton yields have been improved, quality has been improved, prices have increased, and the profits of cotton farmers have been guaranteed."

Dai Gongxing, President of the China Cotton Association, said, "in the first quarter of this year, the cotton industry is in a steady and steady trend.

According to a recent survey by China Cotton Association, the cotton planting area increased by nearly 7% in 2017 compared with last year, and cotton production is expected to increase.

The cotton quality improvement has been corroborated by the data: from 2014 to 2016, the average length of cotton in Xinjiang increased from 28.7 millimeters to 29.1 millimeters, and the average breaking strength value also changed from a downward trend to an upward trend.

The industry believes that the market oriented, forced cotton production end pay more attention to the quality of cotton, cotton's internal quality has been improved.

In addition, the cotton market has gradually returned to the market, and domestic and foreign cotton prices have been gradually integrated.

The advantages of imported cotton and cotton yarn gradually weakened.

The price difference between domestic and foreign cotton prices has dropped from 5000 yuan per ton in 2014 to less than 1000 yuan.

According to the survey conducted by some cotton farmers, the purchase price of cotton in 2016 was 1.5 yuan higher than that in the previous year, and the net profit of cotton growers per mu is between 350 yuan and 550 yuan. Plus subsidies, it can be regarded as a bumper harvest year.

Promoting industry vitality through innovation

"Cotton production and circulation are relatively small in scale, high in cost and low in efficiency, and the quality of cotton is difficult to meet the rising demand for textile consumption.

Faced with huge consumer groups, many enterprises are unable to provide high-quality products and high standard of service.

Luo Lin, deputy director of the Council of the China national supply and marketing cooperative society, said.

In addition, around the operation of enterprises, He Xiyu, vice president of China Cotton Group Co., Ltd. said, "cotton processing enterprises lack self-discipline. Because of the contradiction between seasonal acquisitions and perennial sales, the cotton processing enterprises are relatively extensive in operation, and the risk awareness is relatively weak."

The industry agreed that in order to reshape the cotton industry, we must find a way out in innovation.

And the pace of innovation has been successively moving in many links of the domestic cotton industry chain.

In Shandong Swan cotton machine machinery Limited by Share Ltd, cotton processing unmanned workshop has formed a preliminary framework.

Wu Junying, the general manager of the company, spoke with great enthusiasm. "Unmanned workshop production activities are controlled by computers. After production, processing and inspection, the products are finally exported. All the work is carried out by computer controlled digital processing equipment, packaging equipment, packaging equipment and code bag robots.

Workers do not participate directly or seldom participate in work.

The unmanned workshop is pformed from labor-intensive to technology intensive, while improving production efficiency and processing quality, it greatly reduces the number of employed workers, reduces production costs and improves the comprehensive competitive advantage of ginning plants.

Using big data and "Internet +" to boost business mode pformation

In addition to strengthening innovation and realizing the organic integration and ecological construction of the whole industrial chain, it is also the focus of attention of the industry.

In some areas of northern Xinjiang, some industrial alliances and consumer unions have been established.

Through the establishment of the mechanism of the alliance, forced production and planting from consumption, and ultimately achieve the customized production of cotton products.

Cao Huiqing, chairman of Xinjiang cotton padded jacket farmers' professional cooperatives, said, "this method is very good. Our producers no longer blindly produce."

With orders, what kind of cotton do we need for cotton production?

"Which cotton grower, what kind of cotton seed do he grow, how many kinds of cotton he planted, how about the quality of the cotton? Which plant is the cotton being handed to, and what is the quality of the cotton produced? Finally, to the logistics, who will carry it? How will the freight rate be delivered to?"

Sun Juan, marketing director of the national cotton exchange market, said: "in Xinjiang cotton production, the big data ecology and the industrial chain ecology have actually formed."

"With the formation of the Internet + cotton industry ecosystem, at the same time, with the maturity of cotton data ecology, the cotton business model will change.

Market analysis will be more and more precise.

Big data must be brought to the middle, small businesses will also be eliminated, will also form a large-scale.

Cotton matching will achieve precise docking.

Sun Juan thinks.

In the whole cotton textile industry, the phenomenon of integration and development is constantly emerging and the trend is constantly increasing.

In the process of business development and industrial pformation and upgrading, the position and role of the business model innovation is becoming more and more important.

Many enterprises have actively leveraged "Internet +" to explore the integration of modern information technology and traditional trade methods, and have achieved certain results.

"As a responsible cotton producing and cotton consuming country, China must also develop cotton production capacity and maintain a certain self-sufficiency rate.

On the other hand, China still needs to achieve balance between production and demand through the international market.

Dai said: "with China's cotton reserves entering the normal scale, China's textile industry has entered a healthy development. The huge consumption potential of the Chinese market is still an opportunity for all countries in the world."
