Cotton Import And Export Prices Fall, Cotton Textile Industry Embarrassed Dilemma

< p > now it is the traditional peak season of cotton < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > textile < /a >, but the whole cotton textile market is somewhat abnormal, especially the phenomenon of cotton import downturn.

According to the latest cotton textile industry statistics from Qingdao customs, 1 million 458 thousand tons of cotton imported from Shandong port in the first 11 months of this year decreased by 14.5% compared with the same period last year; the value of 2 billion 950 million cotton imports decreased by 24.6%; the average import price was 2022 US dollars per ton, down 11.9%.

Behind the decline of cotton import and export prices, it reflects the embarrassing predicament of the cotton textile industry.

< p > it is understood that the main reason for this phenomenon is that the wait-and-see atmosphere of textile enterprises is strong and imports are declining.

Since the beginning of this year, with the continuous upgrading and structural adjustment of the cotton textile industry, the capacity of China's textile industry has been concentrating more on large enterprises, and many small and medium enterprises are under great pressure to survive.

According to the enterprise, after October, the main cotton textile enterprises will celebrate the peak of holiday orders.

However, since the 4 quarter of this year, the downstream demand for cotton yarn and cloth has been relatively plain. Most of the enterprises' orders can only satisfy the daily operation, so there is no desire to hoard cotton.

In addition, this year's cotton market in India has been postponed for nearly a month, so many enterprises expect cotton prices to decline after the India cotton concentrate listing in the 11 to the beginning of December.

< p > in addition, the import of a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton yarn < /a > a sharp increase in imports, which is an important factor in causing the low import cotton price.

It is understood that compared with other countries such as South Asia and Southeast Asia, the price of cotton in China is 4000 yuan to 5000 yuan per ton, and cotton yarn price is more than 1000 yuan per ton.

Because of the quota control of cotton imports in China, many cotton enterprises purchase a lot of cheap cotton yarn abroad instead of cotton.

A large number of cheap cotton yarn poured into the domestic market, and again suppressed domestic cotton prices.

The latest round of selling of domestic cotton reserves is very cold.

< p > it is worth noting that China's trial of cotton temporary storage and storage system for more than 3 years has objectively resulted in a high price difference between cotton and domestic products, which has become increasingly inconsistent.

Recently, the relevant departments such as the Ministry of agriculture and China Textile Industry Federation have disclosed to the outside world the direction of the reform of canceling cotton purchase and storage and adopting the national direct subsidy. Basically, the 2014/2015 cotton season is basically determined. China's temporary cotton purchase and storage policy will no longer be implemented, and the pilot project of direct subsidy will be implemented in Xinjiang.

It is hoped that the implementation of this "New Deal" will really benefit cotton farmers and form a rational market mechanism.

Relevant departments should also encourage and guide the domestic textile industry to speed up industrial upgrading, enhance the competitiveness and bargaining power of China's products, thereby reducing the sensitivity to < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > cotton > /a > price increase.
