The Past and Present of Yancheng Cotton Spinning——The glorious years will last forever

Jiangsu Yancheng, relying on the long-term arable land developed by the vast coastal plains of northern Jiangsu, was the main inland cotton producing area in Jiangsu and even the whole country 30 to 40 years ago, and it is the 'half of the country' of Jiangsu cotton. Dafeng District under its jurisdiction was the first major domestic cotton county in the country that realized the per capita sale of one dan of lint to the state in the early 1990s. That is to say, during that period, under the guidance of the party's reform and opening policy, the cotton production and marketing market changed from the supply and marketing cooperative's unified purchase and marketing to full liberalization. As a result, Yancheng's cotton 'sows and harvests in thousands of familiesThe textile industry has also gradually developed a large number of large and small textile enterprises with diversified ownership from the 'Huainan No. 1 and No. 2 spinning mills' that only provided soldiers and men's clothing to the front lines of the liberation. Air-jet, arrow shaft, automatic winding, combing, blending, color spinning, and other craft products, some companies mass-produce small-house woven machines, and almost counties have provincial-level textile towns.　　 However, since the country first piloted and fully liberalized the cotton market at the end of the last century, Yancheng, like other inland cotton areas, has since embarked on the road of market regulation, and its production and sales operations have been shuffled in the tide of the market economy. After several major cotton market 'roller coaster' storms from the end of the last century to 2011-2013, a large number of cotton purchases, textile enterprises or self-employed individuals experienced the test of life and death. After several market fluctuations, Yancheng, Jiangsu was able to persist to this day. The number of small and medium-sized textile enterprises in China is less than half of what they were in their heyday, especially in Dafeng, Sheyang, Dongtai, Yandu and other places, some family workshop-style small textile factories have closed more.　　 Since 2015, the cotton planting area in Yancheng has decreased year by year, and the cotton purchasing industry has disappeared. Many textile companies with a good foundation have survived the previous market shocks. Judging from the operation situation in recent years, many textile enterprises in Yancheng mostly survive, and their operating efficiency is not very good.　　 In 2019, Yancheng, Jiangsu continued to show the overall situation of declining cotton planting area, late-cropping cotton planting, decentralized and fragmented production mode, and the inability to concentrate acquisitions. The current solar terms are not far from the 'frost'. The originally thriving purchase market is limited by the shortage of production resources. It has not been opened yet. It can only rely on private merchants who sell cotton in the village to collect more and more, and then centralized sales. To ginning enterprises or selling to other places. The quotation of cotton at the beginning of the scale is also changing. Although it is difficult for some purchasing companies to receive cotton, they have paid more attention to the cotton market and have been adjusting their external quotations. The trend is still in the early stage of 'opening low and moving low'. prediction.　　 In October 2019, the price of 3128B seed cotton in Yancheng area was 2.85 yuan/kg, which was 0.05-0.10 yuan/kg lower than the open scale price of 2.90 yuan/kg. Moreover, due to the unstable price of lint, it is expected that such a price will be difficult to guarantee day and night. In addition, the quotations of local cotton by-products are also unstable, especially the price of main products such as cottonseed and cotton oil is not stable. Companies are elusive and can only fight short-term, and there is no large inventory of raw materials and products.　　 Like the cotton and cotton by-product markets, the textile market in Yancheng is much the same. Because of the continuous decline of raw materials, some companies are unable to grasp the trend of the market outlook, and have to hold tightly to precious orders and start spinning. For some textile companies that purchase more raw materials in the first half of the year or June and July, they are under greater pressure. According to the current market quotation, the sales of products produced by the old stock cotton on the car obviously cannot be sold at the price, and the market is so sensitive. Traveling and following downstream, only small orders for textile companies are the key to 'not staggering'. It is understood that many small textile mills in northern Jiangsu, such as Yancheng Dafeng, Sheyang, and Nantong, rarely have full capacity and daily output. There are long and short orders in the back row, and large and small batches. It seems that every family is driving, but the scale, quantity, and variety of production are not as good as before. Although the current cotton price is less likely to be lower, few companies dare to press raw materials for product inventory to rise.　　Comprehensive analysis, production decline, volume reduction, and sluggish purchases and sales represent the current trend of Jiangsu Yancheng cotton market. Because the cotton planting rank does not account for the main varieties, the cotton derivative industry is also 'warm swallowing water.' According to industry analysis, if there is no favorable cotton production in the mainland and the support of the New Deal, the unfavorable situation of production and marketing will continue. Even if the private sector is engaged in production by the elderly, the production area will naturally disappear with the goal of solving the 'self-use cotton' of one household.
