Cotton Farmers Do Not Sell Cotton, But Textile Enterprises Are "Less Rice".

Producing the wrong demand is the predicament of China's cotton industry.

The reason for this is that Gao Fang believes that on the one hand, it is related to the total quantity of output that we have formed in the past shortage economy. Policy guidance has always advocated unit production to support the rapid development of the textile industry. The policy of storage in the past few years has objectively caused the cotton production pattern to be ignored. "Under the existing conditions, the quality is high, the yield per unit area is low, the unit yield and quality will be correspondingly low, and how can cotton farmers be cost-effective?"

If the market price of high quality cotton is low, the enthusiasm of cotton growers will not be mobilized.

The low degree of mechanization is also a major factor affecting the quality of domestic cotton.

Most of China's cotton depends on artificial picking. The mixing of foreign fibers such as silk and hair is unavoidable. It is difficult to remove textile processing, resulting in uneven dyeing and broken ends. It not only affects the quality of cotton yarn and cloth, but also increases the cost of subsequent picking.

"Artificial selection of" three silk "will cost 300 yuan to 500 yuan per kilogram of cotton.

Gao Fang introduced that, in addition to the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps in the cotton producing area of Xinjiang, other cotton picking almost entirely depends on manpower, and the cost of manual picking up to 1 kilograms is 2 yuan, which accounts for the big price of cotton.

State Council Development Research Center researcher Cheng Guoqiang told reporters that the current domestic

Labor costs account for 62% of the total cost, while the United States has only 4%.

The high cost of planting leads to the lack of competitiveness of domestic cotton.

Cai Yajun, chairman of Hubei Yinfeng Industrial limited liability company, said that after the cancellation of the cotton temporary storage, the price went on the market. The lint was reduced from 13 thousand to 16 thousand yuan per ton in 2013 to about 12 thousand yuan, but it still stands almost 1000 yuan higher than the foreign cotton price per ton, and the purchasing power of the processing enterprise is still not small.

The purchasing price is high, and the downstream processing market is also lack of kinetic energy.

Because of the global economic downturn and weak market demand, many cotton processing enterprises have had a "cold winter" in recent years, overcapacity, and many shut down.

In 2015, only 400 qualified processing enterprises qualified by Xinjiang had 815 or 1069 production lines. Processing capacity was nearly two times that of cotton production.

Xiao Yuqing, President of the Xinjiang Cotton Association, said: "enterprises can't produce economies of scale if they don't have enough to eat. In order to compete for resources, many enterprises will inevitably affect quality if they are mixed with other mixed acquisitions."

Our country

Compared with Australian cotton and American cotton, which have natural advantages, they are inadequate.

In recent two years, the quality of cotton has become more and more prominent, and some key indicators are significantly different from those imported from abroad.

Facing the pformation and upgrading, and gradually changing from the production of low-end products to high-end products, the demand for high-quality cotton is increasing, and the contradiction between supply and demand is highlighted.
