Xinjiang Textile Industry Makes Wedding Clothes For Mainland Counterparts.

For some time, the textile export industry troubled by the financial crisis benefited from the national export tax rebate rate adjustment policy. Finally, a good harvest was achieved. In 2011, the tax rebate for textile exports in the 1 to July period increased by nearly 3 times compared with that in 2009, reaching 32% of the total export tax rebate.

But correspondingly, the local textile industry in Xinjiang played an awkward role: Xinjiang textile products accounted for only 2.4% of the total volume of textile products exported through Urumqi.

"In fact, Xinjiang's textile industry is only playing a role of dressing for the mainland counterparts."

A few days ago, the relevant officials of the Urumqi import and export tax office of the State Administration of Taxation said that as one of the largest cotton producing areas in China, Xinjiang has only played the role of "big passageway" for the garment enterprises in and out of the western region.

Textile exports are growing faster.

"After raising the tax rebate rate of export commodities, Urumqi City

Statistics show that from 1 to July 2011, the volume of textile export trade in Urumqi increased rapidly, and the volume of textile exports amounted to US $136 million 700 thousand, an increase of US $55 million 350 thousand over the same period last year, with a growth rate of 68%.

Among them, trade volume accounts for 91% of the five Central Asian countries.

Mainland businesses seize business opportunities

This year, 21 new textile enterprises have been added to Urumqi, reaching 110.

"Most of these enterprises come from Hebei, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Shandong. After the establishment of distribution centers in the capital, they export to Central Asia through the capital corridor."

Urumqi city tax bureau import and export tax office staff said.

The staff analysis shows that textile and clothing has become a staple product of Xinjiang's exports. But in the export of textiles and clothing, the mainland accounts for most of Xinjiang's exports, and the proportion of Xinjiang's products is too low.

In export commodities, towels,

According to statistics, from 2011 to July, Urumqi's foreign trade enterprises accounted for 91% of the total exports of textiles to the five Central Asian countries, representing an increase of 53 million 520 thousand US dollars over the same period last year, an increase of 75%.

Exports to Kyrgyzstan amounted to US $84 million 80 thousand, an increase of 60% compared with us $31 million 820 thousand in the same period last year; Kazakhstan's US $20 million 510 thousand, a 59% increase over the same period last year; Tajikistan's 16 million 670 thousand US dollars, a 424% increase over the same period last year; Uzbekistan 2 million 780 thousand dollars, an increase of 1 million 450 thousand dollars over the same period last year; only Turkmenistan's US dollar declined from the US dollar in the same period last year.

"But it is thought-provoking that textile exports account for only 2.4% of the total volume of textile exports in recent Xinjiang, but the only market share is mainly exported to Europe and Hongkong, and Xinjiang textile companies are hardly interconnected with Central Asia."

The staff introduced.

Xinjiang enterprises can not compete for cake.

In Urumqi textile export enterprises, the most influential one is Xinjiang Tianshan wool textile Limited by Share Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Tianmao"). The company mainly produces coarse and worsted cashmere sweaters, and its products are mainly exported to the United States, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and so on.

Compared with the booming export of textile enterprises in the mainland, the export situation of Tianshan wool textile Limited by Share Ltd has been on the decline since the financial crisis in 2008.

"Now the volume of export orders is decreasing."

The company official said, because the financial crisis is still in Europe and the United States and other countries continue to continue, and the company's products are mainly high-end products, coupled with the current international trend of uncertainty, the sale of Tian Mao textiles abroad has been significantly less than in the past.

But for the more smooth and mature Chinese textile market in Central Asia, Tian Mao dared not set foot in it.

"The inland Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta have formed a complete industrial chain mode. Each process has independent factories to work independently, cooperate with each other, the cost can be reduced, the clothing is cheap and quality, and the textile industry in Xinjiang has no such support. It is completely alone. The cost of a set of garments is very high and can only go in the high-end market."

The person in charge sighed.

Xie Zexin, the head of the US Asia Investment and development company with an annual export volume of 5 million -800 million yuan, has the same feeling: "the coastal cities in the mainland are well-developed and creative, and the garments products can keep up with the international trend. And because of the lack of industrial chains, our Xinjiang enterprises can only provide raw material products or the main products of tooling.

Take a simple denim as an example, a denim garment, from raw cotton to water washing, needs 6 steps, and Xinjiang enterprises can only complete 3 steps. The later garments, finishing and washing processes are far behind.

"In fact, for textile exporters in Xinjiang, it is best to introduce large quantities of garment factories in the mainland to invest in Xinjiang, so as to enhance the innovative concept and technological level of Xinjiang enterprises. Only in this way can Xinjiang enterprises not only dress for others."

Xie Ze said.
