Development Status Of Anhui Hanshan Cotton Processing Industry

The present situation of Anhui mountain cotton processing industry: in the new round of grain and cotton competition, cotton planting is at a disadvantage, planting area is declining year by year, and is in a state of atrophy.

This year, the planting area of mountain cotton has been less than 100 thousand mu, and seed cotton output has dropped sharply.

There are 30 cotton processing enterprises in our county, of which only 4 have cotton processing qualification, and the remaining 26 have no processing qualification. The total seed cotton output in the county is about 2.5 million tons, averaging less than 1000 tons per enterprise.

Over the past two years, due to fierce market competition, ups and downs of the market, seed cotton supply is becoming less and less, and more than 60% of enterprises are in a state of stop production or half stop production.

Analysis of the causes of the situation:

First, the market volatility has intensified, and the business risk has increased.

2010 cotton prices showed roller coaster prices in the cotton year. After the purchase of seed cotton, the purchase price continued to rise to more than 7 yuan per catty, a record high, and lint price reached 32 thousand yuan / ton.

After March this year, the price of lint dropped sharply below 20 thousand yuan / ton. In less than half a year, the price of lint increased by more than 10 thousand yuan.

The large fluctuation of market situation caused most cotton enterprises to lose money, and some enterprises withdrew from the market because of heavy losses.

In the cotton year, the market continued to be depressed, except for a few.

Two, most small businesses are eager for quick success and instant profits and disrupt the market, leading to the development of large enterprises.

There are quite a lot of cotton enterprises in Shanshan, but only Zhenhua cotton company and Yufeng cotton company have begun to take shape. Most of the other enterprises are weak in strength, backward in technology and poor in equipment. When they are in good market, they participate in the acquisition process and earn a little money. When the market is bad, they will close their interest industry, have no desire for development, and have no vision for long-term development. This short-term behavior has caused great confusion to the cotton purchase and sale market, and the consequences are small and small.

Three, weak market supervision and disorderly development.

Strengthening market supervision is an old topic that has been talked about for many years, but the actual result is not good.

After the opening of the cotton circulation market, the main body of the mountain cotton processing market has increased a lot, but most of them are unlicensed small processing enterprises.

These small processing enterprises have always existed in the vacuum of market supervision, and there are no supervision or supervision of a series of problems such as processing unqualified, over range operations, failing to meet the requirements of fire control and low processing quality.

On the contrary, the qualified large cotton processing enterprises are severely regulated and become the focus of supervision.

This supervision mode and scope not only recognize the existence of small and unqualified processing enterprises, but also indulge in disorderly competition, and create uneven among manufacturing enterprises.

If this goes on, it will be very unfavorable for the sustained and healthy development of cotton processing industry.

Therefore, it is suggested that relevant government departments should organize relevant law enforcement departments.
