Xinjiang: Freight rates have jumped three times in a row, causing problems when leaving Xinjiang

Currently, Xinjiang seed cotton harvesting is about to end, and the acquisition and sorting progress of cotton enterprises is accelerating, but the sales progress of Xinjiang cotton is not satisfactory. , the external transportation of Xinjiang cotton has become a headache for Xinjiang cotton enterprises and mainland textile enterprises – is it difficult for Xinjiang cotton to leave Xinjiang this year?

The two ways to move Xinjiang cotton to the inland are railway transportation and road transportation. The same is true for road and rail transportation of cotton. After the implementation of the 500 yuan/ton freight subsidy policy, road freight rates and delivery time have obvious advantages over railways, and truck transportation has become the first choice for Xinjiang cotton export. According to data from China Railway Corporation, the annual railway cotton transportation volume in 2015 Between 3.8 and 4 million tons, there was a severe decline in 2015, with 2.79 million tons completed throughout the year, a year-on-year decrease of 43.8%. From January to August 2016, the railway shipped a total of 750,000 tons of cotton, a year-on-year decrease of 55.2%.

On September 21, the “Regulations on Highway Management of Over-limit Transport Vehicles”, known as the strictest limit in history, came into effect. , this regulation reduces the standard tonnage of over-limit and overload, resulting in a significant increase in the cost of lint road transportation out of Xinjiang. Originally, a six-axle vehicle could hold 165-175 pieces, but now it can only hold 130-135 pieces. In theory, this will make The cost of cotton transportation has increased by at least 20%. Under this circumstance, the truck transportation price of Xinjiang cotton to the inland warehouse was increased by about 100 yuan/ton in early October, and by 120-150 yuan/ton in mid-to-late October. In November, the truck transportation cost was across the board. The increase is 100-200 yuan/ton, with the cumulative increase exceeding 300 yuan/ton. Due to the increase in truck transportation costs, cotton companies have shifted their focus to rail transportation. So what about rail freight rates? According to the regulations of the Urumqi Railway Bureau, in November Starting from the 1st, the freight for 58-60 ton boxcars will return to the original price from the previous reduction of 7%, and the freight for 70 ton boxcars will be reduced by 8%.

Whether it is rail or truck transportation, the freight has increased significantly. Xinjiang cotton companies accept high freight, then Can the problem of Xinjiang cotton sales to the mainland be solved? Not so. According to the Kuitun District Warehouse, all surrounding railway transportation has been scheduled until mid-December. This is the time when Xinjiang jujubes, walnuts and other agricultural products and energy are intensively leaving Xinjiang. , coupled with the increase in road transportation costs, caused a large amount of cotton leaving Xinjiang to flow to the railway, exacerbating the tension of freight trains. In terms of automobile transportation, although freight rates have increased, fleets and individual drivers are not cold. In November and December, cotton shortages in Xinjiang The pressure of dumping into the warehouse is still very high, and the driver does not have to worry about having no work to do. In addition, a vehicle can transport 186 packages in Xinjiang (only about 133 packages can be shipped out of Xinjiang), the time is short, and the income is high. In addition, Xinjiang has low temperatures and rainfall. , snowy weather is coming, and the transportation period to the inland is long and dangerous, so vehicles in Xinjiang are reluctant to leave Xinjiang.

It seems that it will take some time for Xinjiang cotton to be transferred to the mainland in large quantities for sale. If the mainland textile companies cannot use it in time, When buying Xinjiang cotton, you can also consider using real estate cotton. Judging from the 2016 notarized inspection data, the index of real estate cotton in many areas has improved significantly this year, which can meet the needs of some textile companies.
