The Textile Industry Wears A Raw Material "Magic Spell".

< p > < strong > how to solve the problem of "cotton price upside down" in storage cotton < /strong > < /p >

< p > open the wardrobe and open the seam fabric labels in the < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothes < /a > inside. We can see that most of the fabrics are made up of cotton, polyester (polyester fiber), spandex, nylon, modal and so on. Besides cotton is a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/" > natural fiber < /a >, a bunch of nouns are all kinds of chemical fibers.

Cotton and chemical fiber (quotation area), < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > textile > /a > industry two main raw materials are facing different difficulties.

< p > < strong > domestic cotton price upside down, import quota again < /strong > < /p >

< p > "one ton" a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton < /a > 19000 yuan, while the middle and low count cotton yarn imported from India and Pakistan is added to China, plus tariffs and freight charges not more than 17000 yuan per ton. Our raw materials are 2000 yuan higher than the products of others. How can we play? "In June 3rd, at the China International Cotton Textile Conference held in Nanjing and the China International Textile raw material Market Conference, a cotton textile owner complained to China Economic Weekly.

< /p >

< p > 2010, domestic cotton prices have experienced "roller coaster" ups and downs, 8 months up 16000 yuan / ton, 20 days lost 5100 yuan / ton, cotton growers and cotton spinning enterprises miserable.

< /p >

< p > to protect cotton farmers, in March 2011, the state issued a policy of minimum purchase and storage.

In 2012, the reserve price was raised to 20400 yuan / ton.

The price of cotton purchase and storage in 2013 will also be maintained at 20400 yuan / ton.

< /p >

< p > countries will sell cotton to cotton spinning enterprises by auction.

In 2012, the starting price for throwing and storing was 19000 yuan / ton.

< /p >

< p > however, since the second half of 2011, affected by the European debt crisis, the international cotton price has continued to decline. If this year's throw and start price is also maintained at the previous year's 19000 yuan / ton, China's cotton price will continue to be higher than the international cotton price.

< /p >

< p > however, the reason for the reduction of corporate profits is not only this, but also the quality of domestic cotton.

< /p >

< p > "in addition to Xinjiang cotton, it is very difficult to use domestic cotton to make high added value, high-grade yarn and fabric."

Chen Jiaolan, general manager of de Tai textile, Qingyuan, Guangdong, told the China Economic Weekly that "domestic cotton" three silk "(cotton blended with silk, linen, hair, etc.), commonly known as" three silk ", is much more, and more than a thousand pieces of plastic.

< /p >

< p > with the beginning of September 1st this year, the two new national standards of "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com "> cotton processing > /a" ("cotton fine wool cotton saw tooth processing" GB1103.1 and "cotton fine wool cotton roller processing" GB1103.2) will begin to implement. Cotton spinning enterprises believe that only imported cotton from the US and Australia can meet the new national standard raw material demand.

< /p >

< p > but imported cotton needs quotas, which makes Chen Jiaolan dare not bid for imported cotton.

According to the regulations, 1 tons of imported cotton should be sold with 3 tons of domestic cotton which is expensive and unreliable in quality, which is risky for any spinning enterprise.

< /p >

< p > the survival of small and medium enterprises is hard, and big enterprises are just trying to maintain them.

Huarun textile is a subsidiary company of Huarun group, a large central enterprise. Di Hui, deputy general manager of the company, introduces that the company used to earn several million yuan a month, and now only a few hundred thousand yuan.

Another leading company, Anhui Huarun, is a "quality and efficiency" enterprise that has been profitable for 39 consecutive years. Chairman Zhan Lingzhi said that this year's profits have been so small that she embarrassed.

< p > < strong > PX is in urgent need. The shortage of chemical fiber materials is less than /strong > /p >

< p > in the < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > textile raw materials < /a > accounted for the majority of the "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com "chemical fiber" /a "better days.

< /p >

< p > Zhao Xiangdong, vice president of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, revealed that in 2012, the total output of China's chemical fiber reached 37 million 920 thousand tons, of which 30 million 570 thousand tons of polyester fiber (polyester fiber) accounted for more than 70% of the world's total polyester fiber.

From 1 to April this year, the profit margin of China's chemical fiber industry decreased by 11.62% compared with the same period last year.

< /p >

< p > chemical fiber industry chain is longer. Take polyester as an example, before becoming a textile product, it has to go through the course of "PX (p-xylene) - PTA (terephthalic acid) polyester".

< /p >

< p > China's PTA self-sufficiency capability is constantly increasing.

But the supply of raw materials for processing PTA is very tight, PX.

Publicly available data show that the domestic textile industry needs 27 million tons of PX per year.

< /p >

< p > as a low toxicity chemical industry (market area) product, PX project has been repeatedly boycotted by the public in recent years.

The downstream products of PX are widely used in all kinds of < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing < /a > household textiles and industrial textiles.

An interesting phenomenon is that when people from all over the country boycotted the PX project, many slogans, vests and masks were also made of PX's "grandson" polyester.

< /p >

< p > the fierce boycott of the public has led to the expansion of PX capacity in China, which has exacerbated the critical supply of raw materials.

< /p >

< p > "now the PX gap is about half, which is a major risk in textile raw materials. If PX relies heavily on foreign imports, it will definitely be a major constraint on the chemical fiber industry."

Wang Tiankai, President of China Textile Industry Federation, said.

Over time, the high price of PX will inevitably lead to a decrease in the profits of the PTA industry, which is difficult to develop healthfully, and the subsequent capacity supply is not enough.

< /p >

< p > < strong > cotton circulation system urgently needs to be reformed < /strong > < /p >

< p > Wang Tiankai roughly estimated that under the pressure of high cotton price and high price difference at home and abroad, the production line of small and medium textile enterprises closed last year was more than 10 million spindles, equivalent to the total capacity being shut down during the reform of state-owned enterprises from 1997 to 1999.

Roughly estimated, last year, 100 thousand people left or left the a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > cotton textile industry < /a >.

< /p >

< p > but this is not the survival of the fittest under fair competition. "The lowest price storage and import quota" is a planned economic form of the cotton circulation system which has hurt the competitiveness of China's cotton textile industry.

< /p >

< p > March 2003, the China reserve cotton Management Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the central storage cotton) was established as a policy central enterprise to manage the state reserve cotton. Entrusted by the State Council, the central storage cotton is responsible for the management and management of the state reserve cotton. "Protecting safety and stabilizing the market" is its core task.

< /p >

< p > "cotton purchasing and storage policy has a function to stabilize domestic cotton price, but domestic cotton price is still much higher than that of foreign countries. Our textile industry is not only domestic competition, but also to participate in international competition."

President Wang Tiankai said, "if all the leaders of the enterprises are going to manage the cotton, will he still have the energy to manage? Do they still have the energy to reform? Do they still have the energy to upgrade?" < /p >

In the P interview, industry associations and enterprises stated that they all supported the protection of cotton farmers. However, they hoped to change the way of protection, instead of purchasing and storing with direct subsidy policy, reducing intermediate links, narrowing the price difference between domestic and foreign cotton, and making textile enterprises in a more fair competition.

< /p >

< p >, the chemical fiber industry association of China is also actively taking action against the problems faced by the chemical fiber industry.

Zhao Xiangdong, vice president of the association, told China Economic Weekly that the chemical fiber industry is also expanding the raw material space, not only to the oil market, but also to develop some new fiber materials (market area), to make up for the lack of cotton textile products and the negative impact on the entire textile industry.

< /p >

< p > > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > chemical fiber industry < /a > has set up a state-level industrial technology alliance, developing cotton imitation products, has basically established a new generation of Imitation cotton fiber complete industrial chain.

< /p >

< p > in order to get rid of the upstream constraints, some chemical fiber leading enterprises either cooperate with Sinopec and CNOOC to participate in PX project construction or invest overseas to avoid pressure.

Industry leader Hengyi Petrochemical (000703.SZ) started from downstream weaving and is the first private enterprise to enter PTA in China. At the end of February this year, its PX project, which invested 4 billion 320 million dollars in Brunei and produced 1 million 500 thousand tons, has been approved.
