Cotton Reserves Are Not Welcome. Imported Cotton Becomes Meat And Potatoes.

< p > customs data show that in March this year, the total import volume of China's a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton < /a > was 528 thousand and 800 tons, an increase of 150 thousand and 100 tons, an increase of 39.63%, but a decrease of 95 thousand and 500 tons, or 15.3%, compared with the same period last year.

From the first quarter of this year, China has imported 1 million 365 thousand and 100 tons of cotton, a decrease of 202 thousand and 200 tons over the same period, a decrease of about 12.9%.

However, in the past two years, the total import volume of cotton in the two natural years in 2011 and 2012 reached 3 million 365 thousand tons and 5 million 137 thousand and 700 tons respectively, representing a significant increase compared with the same period last year.

Industry analysts believe that after two years of large-scale import of cotton, the total import volume of cotton is expected to fall to around 3 million 500 thousand tons this year.

< p > China's cotton price has always had a big price difference with foreign countries. In 2011/12, due to the international economic downturn, the downstream demand was weak, and the international cotton price continued to decline. At the same time, the domestic price of cotton at home and abroad formed a price difference of 5000 yuan / ton, and the highest price difference reached 6000 yuan / ton.

In recent years, the difference between domestic and foreign cotton prices has narrowed, but still lingers around 4000 yuan / ton.

For cotton textile enterprises, the availability of cotton import quotas is directly related to the cost of enterprises, and has great impact on the economic benefits of enterprises.

But in the interview, the reporter learned that most of the < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/" > textile enterprises < /a > all indicated that it was difficult or only to get a small quota.

< /p >

< p > the allocation of cotton quotas per year is controlled by the national development and Reform Commission.

According to the documents issued by the national development and Reform Commission in 2012, eligible enterprises applying for cotton import quotas include state-owned trading enterprises, enterprises with imported actual achievements in 2011 and cotton spinning enterprises with more than 50 thousand spindles of spinning equipment.

However, the "distribution principle" is not clear. The document says, "it will be allocated according to the number of applicants, historical import performance, production capacity and other relevant business standards".

Xie Xiaojun, assistant general manager of a textile enterprise in Shandong, told reporters very reluctantly: "the domestic cotton price is so high, the quality of operation is whether we can get the quota, but no one tells us exactly how to divide it."

< /p >

< p > for the former enterprise, a ton of reserve cotton will get the corresponding import quota of 1/3, and no official document has been found.

Moreover, enterprises are unable to know the amount and time of the annual tax quota.

< /p >

< p > reporter interviewed some cotton textile enterprises and realized that because quotas were hard to find, many enterprises had to spend money on those enterprises with quotas.

Now in the industry, the import quota business is not a new topic, the pfer price is about 3300 yuan / ton.

< p > although the price of imported cotton and domestic cotton reserves is almost the same as that of the quotas for purchase quotas, many domestic textile enterprises are not enthusiastic about participating in the auction of cotton reserves.

A textile enterprise official told reporters that the grade of reserve cotton is not high, and many of them are Chen cotton, and the quality is difficult to meet production needs.

Mr. Wu, general manager of a textile enterprise in Shandong, said: "some of the national cotton stores that have been photographed are not in line with requirements, and some of them are three silk."

Another textile enterprise disclosed that because cotton reserves were often mixed with good or bad, it did not indicate that it was machine picking or manual picking. Later production and distribution of cotton were very inconvenient.

< /p >

< p > in addition, according to the reporter's understanding, textile enterprises need huge amounts of money to auction cotton reserves.

According to the introduction of the head of the textile enterprise, basically every bundle of cotton should use millions of funds, and the 5 working days after the paction must be remitted to the central cotton company, which is a pressure on the capital turnover of the enterprise.

But in many cases, after the payment is made, cotton is still unable to get in place, because the outgoing and pportation links need time, which has a certain impact on the start up of enterprises.

< /p >

< p > according to the reporter, in view of the cotton problem raised by textile enterprises, the national a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > cotton trading < /a > market and China reserve cotton management corporation have issued a notice, and decided to adjust the relevant policies and regulations of cotton reserve work.

It is reported that this policy adjustment will solve the problem of high-grade cotton shortage to some extent. However, there are still no corresponding solutions to the problem of uneven cotton quality and no import quotas.
