Due to the continuous expansion of the cotton price gap between domestic and foreign cotton caused by the existing cotton management system, the domestic cotton price at present is 5000 yuan / ton higher than that of foreign countries, which has weakened the competitiveness of the textile industry, especially the cotton spinning industry chain.
