Where Is The Way Out For The "Cotton Xiajin" Market?

Whether it is Zhang Jianfu or Wang Zixiang, when it comes to giving up the cotton textile industry, they reveal their true feelings with the cotton textile industry: Although the cotton textile industry belongs to the low end position of the industrial chain, it is indispensable for the industry.

They say frankly that they will continue to operate in this field.

"Xiajin is a large county of cotton textile, with a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, but the general level is relatively low, lacking core technology.

We must change the concept of development, adhere to science and technology, innovate, seize the strategic opportunities for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and explore new areas.

Wang Chunli, Secretary of Xiajin county Party committee, said.

The topography is high, the soil is sandy, suitable for planting cotton. More than 600 years of cotton planting has given Xiajin the reputation of "silver Xiajin".

For decades, the flourishing cotton textile industry, another name of Xiajin, is the famous textile city.

Now, the downward pressure on the economy has increased, and the market of the national cotton textile industry has been saturated. "

Where is the way out?

The original spinning line, now produces wine; the original weaving, now do electric car parts.

With the re examination of the market and the guidance of policies, cross boundary has become a new choice for the pformation of enterprises in Xiajin, and the "silver Xiajin" has become more colorful.

Wang Zixiang, general manager of Xiajin Tianhong Textile Co. Ltd., did not want to mention the operation of the company in 2015. He was distressed by the prospect of unoptimistic profitability.

Nonetheless, the company at its height

He is still full of passion.

In 2010, Tianhong earned 67 million yuan a year, but the number in recent years has shrunk.

Looking back on the 2007 that Tianhong had just created, cotton textile enterprises springing up everywhere in Xiajin with the advantage of producing cotton big county.

"Buy cheap, sell expensive, do not waste in the middle", relying on this unique method, a large number of cotton textile enterprises operators become rich.

Today, this situation can only occur in conversation.

"Taking the current market situation, the domestic price of the lint purchase is about 12000 yuan / ton, which is basically the same price as the cotton yarn imported from Burma.

To achieve the production process of Burma yarn, at least 1000 yuan per ton cost. "

Wang Zixiang said.

This can also be seen from the national cotton textile industry.

From 1 to October this year, China imported 2 million tons of cotton yarn, equivalent to the total import of cotton yarn last year.

The price difference between domestic and foreign cotton price of nearly 5000 yuan / ton has made Chinese yarn products lose its due market, and yarn products from India, Pakistan and other countries occupy a large share of China's medium and low end yarn market.

The cotton industry's bizarre waves make many enterprises unable to stabilize their business "talk about cotton color change".

According to the data provided by Xiajin SME Bureau and Statistics Bureau, during the heyday, Xiajin

Up to 149, now the number is 80.

More than Wang Zixiang's despair, Tian Wenxing shut down the Shandong Heng Shun Textile Co., Ltd., which had been struggling for 9 years in 2013.

From 3 spinning machines to 13 or 20 thousand spindles, Tian Wenxing, who is now dedicated to making microelectronics controller industry, is still worried about cotton textile industry: "prices are rising and falling, and small businesses are at the mercy of the price. Even if the price of cotton yarn is up, they will not do it again."

"The cotton spinning industry is where the industry is poor, where there is no scientific and technological content, where electricity costs are low, labor costs are low, and where to make profits."

As the "old man" in the cotton textile industry, Zhang Jianfu, chairman of Shengyuan group of Shandong, has a deep feeling about this.
