Under The New Situation Of Textile Industry, Cotton Industry Has Potential For Development.

China's textile industry, such as low labor costs, is gradually losing its traditional advantages, and structural adjustment is urgently needed.

although

Facing new difficulties, China has huge domestic market demand, and has formed a cotton industry chain. Textile and garment exports remain strong competitiveness.

Zhou Shengtao, President of China Cotton Association, recently held the "2012 China Cotton Industry Summit Forum" held in Chengdu. In 2012, China's cotton industry and textile industry were faced with a series of new challenges.

Nevertheless, the position of China's major cotton producers and textile giants will not change in the short term, and the cotton industry still has potential for development.

China Cotton Association announced that it is expected that China's cotton output will reach 7 million 280 thousand tons in 2012 and import volume will reach 4 million 500 thousand tons. It is estimated that cotton consumption in China will reach 9 million tons in 2012.

According to reports, in 2011, cotton prices in the previous year hit a record high, China's cotton production area and output doubled, but the textile industry has run a greater difficulty, the main indicators of growth slowed down, cotton market turnover was light, cotton prices fell sharply.

According to the China Cotton Association survey, the cost of cotton planting increased by 17% in 2011, of which labor cost accounted for 58% of the total cost of cotton planting, and the comparative benefit of cotton planting decreased.

In order to protect the interests of cotton farmers and stabilize the cotton market, the state launched a preliminary plan for temporary storage and storage of cotton, accumulatively collecting and storing 3 million 130 thousand tons of cotton. The role of supporting the market is obvious, and the cotton market has maintained overall stability.

Under the international and domestic environment, China

The traditional advantages of low labor force are gradually losing, and structural adjustment is urgently needed.

Some experts believe that although China's cotton textile industry is facing new difficulties, the status of the major cotton producing countries and textile giants will not change in the near future.

And cotton is also the highest contribution rate of single crop yield in bulk agricultural products. It is a pillar product for cotton growing and cotton farmers' income increasing.

China has huge domestic market demand, and has formed a cotton industry chain. Textile and garment exports remain strong competitiveness.

Therefore, China's cotton industry should be based on the development of cotton production, based on domestic supply and based on expanding international competitiveness.

"After more than 10 years of cotton market reform, a diversified market structure has been formed. The mechanism of market price determination has been established. China's cotton industry is gradually becoming mature, but the task of stable planting area is still very arduous."

Zhou Shengtao said, "since the beginning of this century, the minimum planting area of cotton in China has reached 62 million 760 thousand mu, with a maximum of 85 million 400 thousand mu, floating up and down about 20000000 mu, and the task of stabilizing the area is still arduous.

The price of cotton is up to 31000 yuan / ton, with a minimum price of 8400 yuan / ton.

How to avoid the ups and downs of cotton prices and stabilize the planting area of cotton

For sustainable development, Zhou Shengtao put forward 5 suggestions: first, stabilize the area, rely on science and technology, increase the unit yield and ensure the long-term and stable development of cotton production; second, increase support, give play to the advantages of the main producing areas; third, improve the level of mechanization of cotton production; fourth, innovate circulation mode, reduce links and reduce costs; fifth, strengthen exchanges and cooperation and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
