Order production solves the dilemma of “domestic cotton warehousing”
Domestic cotton stocks have reached more than 10 million tons, but only nearly 2.36 million tons were consumed from April to September this year. “Even if there is no production or import, the cotton inventory is enough for our country’s fabric companies for one year.” At the National Cotton Industry Alliance’s establishment conference held on the 28th, Li Fuguang, chairman of the alliance and director of the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that every year in our country It spent 26 billion yuan to subsidize cotton production, but faced the dilemma of “foreign goods entering the market and domestic goods entering the warehouse.”
Li Fuguang believes that the reluctance of fabric companies to use domestic cotton is not a sign of admiration for foreigners, but a serious disconnect between domestic cotton production and demand. “There is a serious shortage of high-grade cotton and a serious surplus of low-grade cotton.”
“The temporary purchase and storage policy is the ‘catalyst’ for the decline in cotton quality.” Li Fuguang analyzed that no matter how poor the quality of domestic cotton is, the country still needs it, so farmers focus on yield over quality. For example, cotton production and harvesting in the United States and Australia are fully mechanized, and no one is allowed to enter the process. But in our country, if we don’t pay attention to cleanliness during production, not only people can enter the cotton fields, but also chickens, ducks and geese can come and go at will. When the cotton is harvested by machines, all kinds of hair and impurities are mixed in. The industrial chain of cotton from production to fabric products is long, and there are institutional problems in market governance and regulation such as multiple branches of government, fragmentation, and fragmentation. “If you promote varieties, just promote them. As a result, if you collect a cart of cotton, there may be several or even a dozen varieties. The fiber length and strength are uneven, and there are many impurities, so fabric companies cannot use them directly.” Domestic cotton fiber strength It is usually worse than that of the United States and Australia, so it has become the default “low-quality cotton” for fabric companies.
“As soon as European and American customers heard that the raw materials of the products were made of domestic cotton, they all rejected it.” Zhou Yejun, chairman of Wuxi Cotton Textile Group Co., Ltd., said helplessly.
Chen Mengshan, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that my country’s cotton industry has reached the “warning line.” The cost “floor” of the planting industry continues to rise, the “ceiling” of agricultural product prices continues to fall, and production is subject to “double squeeze.”
“Through the Chengzhan National Cotton Industry Alliance, we unite cotton scientific research institutions, cotton planting areas and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, cotton purchase, sorting and circulation, fabric workwear enterprises, etc., to open up scientific research-production-finishing —Circulation-fabrics and other entire industry chains will improve the international competitiveness of the cotton industry.” Chen Mengshan said.
“What kind of cotton the fabric companies in the alliance want can be proposed to the Xinjiang Production Corps, etc., and we will provide or develop varieties according to demand. Promote new varieties of high-quality cotton with a new order-based production model Regional layout can solve the problem of disconnection between production and demand,” said Zhang Xiling, deputy director of the Cotton Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
