What Is The New Development Pattern Of Cotton Industry?

In the background of China's economy facing a painful period of structural adjustment, the digestion period of the previous round of financial crisis stimulus and the shifting period of growth rate, China is facing a period of adjustment.

Inevitably faced with difficulties.

Gao Fang said that since China's accession to the WTO, cotton production has shown a trend of rapid growth. In 2001, China's cotton production was 5 million 320 thousand tons, during which the cotton production dropped to 5 million 610 thousand tons in 2015.

After 15 years of development, the output of cotton in China has returned to the initial stage of WTO accession.

Gao Yong, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, said that in the past 4 years, the development of China's textile industry mainly depended on the growth of chemical fiber consumption. In contrast, the proportion of cotton consumption decreased, but the total consumption of cotton fiber in China was not much reduced.

Cotton demand is also the same. In 2001, China's cotton demand was 5 million 660 thousand tons. During the period of growth and decline, the demand for cotton in China was 7 million 80 thousand tons in 2015, according to the data released by the United States Department of agriculture (most of the industry thought it was about 6000000 tons).

"These two aspects are all an interesting regression," she said. "From production to demand, we are back to the level of the beginning of this century."

In this regard, Gao Fang believes that after a period of rapid development, China's cotton industry needs structural adjustment and necessary recovery, which is a new pattern for China's cotton industry.

The goal of the supply side reform of cotton industry is to enhance the quality of cotton, enable cotton production to meet the needs of consumption upgrading, and promote the matching of supply and demand; two, improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and promote cotton production.

Mechanization and intensification, from the source to solve the competitiveness of cotton in China; three is to promote the pformation and upgrading of cotton circulation enterprises, improve the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises.

It is a systematic project to improve the quality and competitiveness of cotton in China. It needs government guidance, industry participation and association promotion, and puts forward the overall development idea.

In the field of production, China's cotton production is faced with problems such as "small scale, low efficiency, high cost, aging of agricultural labor force and quickening of land pfer process".

In the field of circulation, it is faced with the problems of speeding up the integration and reorganization of processing trade enterprises.

In the field of textiles, "competition intensifies, survival of the fittest, pformation and upgrading" has become the main theme.

Under the new pattern, China's cotton production pattern has changed from the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and so on.

The "three pillars" trend of the three cotton growing areas has turned into a current situation dominated by Xinjiang and the two major river basins in the mainland are gradually shrinking.

At the same time, cotton processing, distribution and layout of cotton textile industry are adjusting. The traditional cotton growth mode and path are facing challenges. Under the new pattern, we should speed up the pformation of structural adjustment and development mode.
