Ohlendorf, "food and clothing live line" clothing and textile industry is a traditional pillar industry and important industry of the people's livelihood.

From the China textile industry association (hereinafter referred to as "ZhongFang league") understand that the country's 37000, 2012 home textile enterprises above designated size industrial output value of 5.781 trillion yuan, up 12.3% from a year earlier. But the whole society caliber textile clothing exports year-on-year growth of 3.3% only, a new low in recent years.

Two factors again troubled textile enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprise development: one is caused by domestic cotton purchase and storage policy domestic prices and international cotton price difference is too large, resulting in a decline in export competitiveness; Second, the banking system in textile industry financing policy tightening, cause enterprise financing difficulties.

Hire does not appear large gap

"Last year was not easy." On January 31, 2012, the textile industry situation of economic operation and development conference 2013, China textile industry association President Wang Tiankai opening heavy.

Economic growth slowed in 2012, the textile industry, international market downturn. November 1, the United States and European Union textile clothing imports fell by 0.9% and 5% respectively, compared to the domestic export enterprises lack of orders.

Textile and garment export base in fujian province chamber of commerce survey report shows that the clothing enterprise is still in the inventory, the overall lack of obvious picks up momentum and driving force of the textile industry, most of the clothing export enterprise to reflect, in the hands of few new orders.

Moreover, ZhongFang research report pointed out that cotton prices at home and abroad is poor widening, affected by domestic management policy, domestic cotton prices sharply higher than the international market at the end of 2012, seriously affected the competitiveness of the cotton spinning industry chain. November 1, China's cotton yarn exports fell 8.9% year on year, imports soared 56.1%.

As a result, in 2012 China's textile industry occupied the international market share fell, November 1 - in the European Union and Japan import market proportion is 73.2% and 40.1% of high, but decreased by 1.8 and 1.1% respectively year-on-year.

ZhongFang al report, in 2012 domestic cotton prices higher than international prices, 5000 yuan/ton, involved in fujian province cotton enterprise competitive advantage in the international market weakened, the textile industry in the two major industries - cotton, chemical fiber facing huge difficulties, benefits decline significantly.

However, compared with previous years, in the labor-intensive industries of textile industry in the aspect of employment but there are no big gap.

China textile industry association, vice President of Gao Yong introduction, "last year closure of many small and medium-sized enterprises, diversion of labor force flowing to the large enterprises, large enterprises labor shortage situation ease slightly this year. In addition, as the textile industry to the Midwest transfer capacity, especially in the middle of stay at home have a lot of labor force, so relatively speaking, the employment environment is not so nervous now."

Cotton prices down

In general, cotton raw materials accounted for over 70% of the cost of cotton textiles, international cotton prices plunge since last year, domestic cotton prices because the country purchase price (19800 yuan/ton to 21400 yuan/ton) of the offer, the market spot prices stable at around 19500 yuan per ton, 5000 yuan higher than international prices.

Textile and garment export base in fujian province chamber of commerce survey report calculated brushstroke zhang: calculated at 1.1 tons of cotton production 1 tons of cotton yarn, tons of yarn material costs $21500, depreciation, financial management cost and labor, electricity, machine, material consumption of about 07000 yuan, tons of yarn cost is not less than 28000 RMB, last year the market price of about 26000 yuan, means that the cotton textile enterprises each production 1 tons of cotton yarn will be a loss of 2000 yuan.

A leading enterprise of the cotton textile factory in 2011 profit of $60 million, 2012, as the costs of cotton losses of more than 2200 ten thousand yuan. Another listed company subordinate of jinjiang three cotton mills in 2011, jiangxi, shandong all profits and all losses in 2012. The mill is located in cotton-producing area in jiangxi province, at the right place and regional preferential policies, earned $2011 in 2000 to more than ten thousand yuan, 2012 losses of more than 800 ten thousand yuan.

Gao Yong introduces, in the past ten years, the domestic and international cotton price difference always stay in 1500 yuan to 2000 yuan per ton. Under such a price difference, the domestic textile industry has maintained a strong competitive.

But now the domestic and international cotton price difference reached 5000 yuan per ton. "So our opinion is, if the policy will be transferred to the higher prices for domestic cotton abroad, 2000 yuan per ton, we can accept, the competitiveness of the textile industry still keeps quite."

Gao Yong is introduced, the cause of the current domestic and international cotton price gap, beginning in 2010, domestic cotton prices was high to 33000 yuan/ton, international cotton prices also staring at the domestic cotton prices go, when the domestic cotton prices fell, from 33000 yuan to hold cotton prices, the state issued the purchase price of 19800 yuan/ton, domestic cotton prices will stabilize.

But international cotton prices continued to fall, with domestic has formed the huge price difference. In the second year of the government in order to protect the cotton farmers, continue to improve the cotton price to 20400 yuan/ton.

Later, in order to deal with this price gap, the Chinese government procurement in the international market, but there is still no cotton brought him up in the international market, it formed a huge inventory and domestic high cotton prices, for the textile industry has brought the huge pressure.

Wang Tiankai said, now the cotton price problem, actually reflect the incomplete market economy - stockpiled cotton is planned economy behavior, in front of the back of the enterprises to participate in market competition is a market economy behavior.

"In order to crack down domestic, international cotton prices bring trouble, I know the government policy is to store, want to for 19000 yuan/ton the price of 3 million tons, that cast store price in effect the government has to give subsidies, the future will depends on the ability of the government." Gao Yong told reporters.

Financing is the conjugate throat

"In terms of financing, we are always difficult." When referring to the textile enterprise financing situation, Gao Yong a bit excited.

In fact, in the first quarter of 2012, the textile industry enterprises financing difficulties is very serious. Accounted for 99% of small and medium-sized enterprises in the textile industry, industry medium density is highest in the country.

Sun Huaibin, spokesman for China's textile industry association, the textile industry rise serious interest on loans, interest in the first quarter of 2012 increased by more than 34%, the burden is very heavy.

Journalists refer to many textile listed companies annual reports found that the interest payable is higher, shows high financing costs.

Let Gao Yong excited the reason is that Banks always give the textile industry as an "industry" with the potential risk. "Earlier this year and the end of last year that a few days, lists 2013 state-owned Banks to control lending and curtail lending industry, still put textile limit lending in the industry, we think this is very unfair." Gao Yong said.

Industry-wide losses Gao Yong think, some industry, some industries all excess industry capacity greatly, bank limit these sectors included in the lending industry. But the textile industry in spite of the bad external environment, the overall profitability remains at the forefront of the whole manufacturing industry.

"It still take into curtail lending industry, the textile industry is not normal phenomenon." Gao Yong told the China economic weekly "reporter, he was in a meeting of the state council, the high-level proposed textile industry financing difficult question, but the China banking regulatory commission level has no problem.

He suggested that under the current financing difficulties, textile enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises to reduce the dependence on financial institutions, strengthen their capital turnover and draining.
