Cotton Consumption Decreased, Cotton Production Outside Purchasing

< p > according to the survey data of the national cotton market monitoring system, the total output of cotton in 2013 is 6 million 678 thousand tons. If we calculate the cotton that is still in store before the end of March (at least 30 thousand tons), there will be very few cotton resources that can enter the spot market in 2013.

"P >" with a large number of "a href=" "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton < /a > income country storage, outer cotton has become the focus of textile enterprise procurement.

In the past three years, large and medium-sized enterprises have been able to survive and have a successful product structure pformation. A large part of it has benefited from the acquisition of cotton import quotas, whether within 1% quotas, or sliding tariffs and processing trade cotton import quotas, which has great advantages in competition with small and medium cotton mills.

< /p >

< p > from 2012 and 2013, although cotton mills, cotton importers and traders all shouted, "processing trade quotas are not good or useless," but at the end of last year, the utilization rate of processing quotas was almost 100%.

< p > from the imported cotton import situation, India cotton occupies China's < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > market share > /a > has been consolidated and expanded, and Australia cotton has great potential to replace the United States cotton.

The main reason is that Australian cotton is better than American cotton in terms of length, strength, spinnability, consistency and so on. On the other hand, the weight loss is small and the moisture regain is relatively low. Although the price is slightly higher than that of the American cotton, the conversion cost is not higher than that of < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton < /a > EMOT and C/A.

< p > on the other hand, with the improvement of cotton varieties in India and the continuous increase of output, the quality of lint cotton such as S-6, MCU5 and J34 can be significantly improved. The problems of combed and combed yarn produced by spinning 50S are less. India cotton has already replaced some EMOT SM grade cotton. Besides, India cotton has no difference in length, strength and other indicators. Therefore, it can be predicted that the proportion of India cotton in China's market share will not decline in 2014, and there is also hope that China will gradually get rid of its dependence on US cotton.

< p > reporters understand that the raw material inventory of cotton textile enterprises in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and Jiangsu is generally low and the gap is relatively large. Basically, it is on the 10-60 day. Some small and medium-sized mills even use the stock to buy for only a week or so, but the factories do not seem to be anxious to purchase, but wait for the national policy.

< p > market analysis shows that the cotton consumption ability of Chinese cotton textile enterprises has dropped to below 600 thousand tons per month, and the actual cotton consumption is expected to be between 600-650 tons.

A large number of small and medium sized spinning and weaving mills cut down, shut down and close down, but they have come to the end. How much capacity has been reduced and how many tons of cotton consumption have been reduced? At present, no department can tell clearly that the industry is expected to drop more than 3 million tons.
