Xinjiang Textile: Catch the "Belt and Road"

Today's Xinjiang is the biggest concern inside and outside the industry.

Whether it is the national level or the industry level, the support for Xinjiang's textile and garment industry can be described as unprecedented. The development of Xinjiang textile and apparel industry ushered in an unprecedented opportunity.

Wang Tiankai, president of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, stressed that Xinjiang must seize the development opportunities of the “Belt and Road” in the development of the textile and apparel industry, combine the trend of industrial restructuring and structural adjustment, and grasp the development of textile and clothing in Xinjiang from a scientific and rational perspective. The total amount of industry, and the strengthening of the integration of talents and the integration of ethnic minorities, but also the introduction of large-scale enterprises in the industry and the latter companies in the industrial chain settled in Xinjiang, using their advanced development model to guide the textile and garment industry in Xinjiang to extend backwards .

Industrial development gradually promoted

By the end of 2014, there were 101 textile and garment enterprises above designated size in Xinjiang, 5.70 million spindle ring spinning capacity, and 180,000 airflow spinning. The textile enterprises above the designated size had achieved an industrial added value of 4.139 billion yuan and realized more than 40,000 new jobs. people.

In early April, Xinjiang, although it had just experienced a heavy snowfall, the breath of spring was faintly visible. Xinjiang Yuhua Textile Co., Ltd., located in Hutubi County, is a large-scale textile enterprise in the county. The reporter saw at the scene that the machinery in the factory roared and the workers were carrying out various production methods in an orderly manner.

Xinjiang Yuhua Textile Co., Ltd. is a limited liability company established by Henan Xinye Textile Co., Ltd., which has the leading technology level in the same industry in the country, and has successfully mobilized assets of Xinjiang Tianshan Textile (Group) Co., Ltd. and the new plant. At present, the company has invested 200 million yuan in the early stage and covers an area of ​​800 acres. There are currently 50 fully imported air spinning equipments. The annual output of 2032 high-grade pure cotton air spinning is 20,000 tons, the output value is 450 million yuan, and 200 people are employed.

This is only part of the early development of Xinjiang Yuhua Textile Co., Ltd. According to the related planning of Xinjiang Yuhua Textile Co., Ltd., the company's overall investment amount will reach 1.55 billion yuan in the next few years, which will drive 1,900 jobs.

In fact, Xinjiang Yuhua Textile Co., Ltd. is a microcosm of the employment of millions of people in Hutubi County in recent years to vigorously develop the textile and apparel industry.

According to reports, Hutubi County currently owns 9 textile and garment processing companies with a spinning scale of 250,000 spindles and can produce 45,000 tons of various kinds of cotton yarns throughout the year. In the future, Hutubi County will take advantage of the proximity of Urumqi to clothing sales and the supply of surface materials to facilitate the development of high-quality cotton textiles, knitwear and apparel industries, and strive to create important textile and apparel industry bases in northern Xinjiang. It is expected that by 2023, 29,000 people will be employed.

In the important production area of ​​the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in the textile and clothing industry, Shihezi City has been vigorously developing the textile and clothing industry in recent years. It has successively introduced a number of well-known domestic and foreign textile companies such as Huafu Spuntex and Shandong Ruyi. There are 20 textile enterprises on the regulations, with a ring spinning capacity of 1.93 million spindles, an air-jet spinning capacity of 26,900, and a towel production capacity of 8,300 tons. The production capacity ranks first in all cities in Xinjiang and has become an important cotton spinning production base in the central and western regions.

As of the end of last year, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps owned 76 types of textile and garment enterprises, with 3.169 million spindles spinning capacity, 47,400 air spinning, and 9 million garment production capacity. The industrial output value of the industry was 8.919 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.58%, and the newly added employment reached more than 4,000 people.

As the core area for the development of textile and garment industries in Xinjiang, Urumqi has achieved remarkable results in the development of the textile and apparel industry. At present, Urumqi City has more than 1400 textile and garment enterprises, and cotton yarn production has reached 120,000 spindles, achieving annual sales of about 1.3 billion yuan.

According to reports, as of the end of 2014, Xinjiang's textile and garment enterprises above designated size reached 101, a total of 5.7 million spindles were produced, and 180,000 were air-spinned, and the industrial value added of textile enterprises above designated size was 4.139 billion yuan. More than 40,000 people were employed.

Unprecedented new opportunities

Xinjiang's development of the textile and garment industry has taken advantage of advantages such as weather, geographical location, people and other aspects. In particular, the "Belt and Road" strategy currently being implemented by the country will in turn bring greater development opportunities to Xinjiang. Textile companies must seize the current great opportunities for development, take a long-term view, aim at the two 1.3 billion market, and jointly promote the development of Xinjiang textile and garment industry to a higher level.

The development of textile and garment industries in Xinjiang is uniquely advantageous. On the one hand, it is rich in raw materials, and cotton production accounts for half of the national production. On the other hand, Xinjiang has abundant land resources and abundant and cheap power resources. The average electricity price is at a relatively low level in the country, which is very favorable to textile and garment enterprises whose cost of electricity accounts for 10% to 15% of production costs. In addition, Xinjiang also has a geographical advantage that is open to the west. Exporting clothing to Central Asia and Europe through Xinjiang can significantly reduce transportation time and lower logistics costs.

In addition to the above advantages, it is Xinjiang's various preferential policies for the development of the textile and apparel industry that make Xinjiang more attractive. Relevant policies from the **, personnel training, freight, electricity and other aspects to give great support and concessions.

It is worth noting that the "Belt and Road" strategy proposed by the country will bring new opportunities to Xinjiang. According to reports, the “One Belt and One Road” strategy will involve 18 domestic provinces and Xinjiang as a core area. The “One Belt and One Road” strategy can boost Xinjiang's improvement of local textile industry supporting facilities and shorten the delivery of product orders. It will also improve textiles in neighboring countries. The efficiency of garment trade will deepen economic and trade cooperation, which in turn will increase the volume of trade.

“This year and the next year are the best opportunities for coming to Xinjiang. They are indispensable and will no longer come.” Liu Jianxin, vice-president of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region’s Political Consultative Conference, stated that Xinjiang’s vigorous development of the textile and apparel industry is an important national strategic deployment, and textile companies must Seize the opportunity, make good use of existing resources, make the company bigger and stronger, and also drive the local economic development.

Liu Jianxin said that relevant departments in Xinjiang will also continue to create a good environment for development, provide services for the development of enterprises in Xinjiang, and promote the development of the industry.

**The Central Government and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Party Committee ** Zhang Chunxian emphasized during the meeting with the China Textile Research Team that Xinjiang’s key textile and apparel industry has taken advantage of its advantages in terms of weather, geographical location, people, and other aspects. In particular, the “Belt and Road” strategy currently being implemented by the country will in turn bring greater development opportunities to Xinjiang. It is hoped that textile companies must seize the current great opportunities for development and take a long-term view, targeting the two 1.3 billion people markets and jointly promoting the development of Xinjiang textile and clothing industry to a higher level.

I hope relevant policies will continue to be stable

At present, companies are still worried about the development prospects. They do not know how many years these policies can last, and they hope to have a certain number of years so that enterprises can have a bottom.

In fact, under the backdrop of the huge opportunities faced by Xinjiang's textile and garment industry, its development has not been smooth, and textile companies are also facing a series of problems in their development.

“The main problem we are facing now is the issue of employment.” Wei Jiebin, general manager of Xinjiang Ruyi Wool Textile Co., Ltd. pointed out that Xinjiang's textile and garment industry is at its infancy. What is lacking is a skilled team of industrial workers, and the newly recruited workers are highly mobile. The investment in training is large and the effectiveness is low. I hope that the employment problem can be solved as soon as possible.

Li Yuzhang, deputy general manager of Aksulutai Textile Co., Ltd., told the reporter of the “Textile and Apparel Weekly” that the company’s lack of development in Xinjiang is now related to the technical personnel, hoping to introduce a group of technical personnel from the Mainland to Xinjiang. Communication and guidance.

There are also concerns about the current years of implementation of relevant policies. Li Yuzhang pointed out that the state’s supporting policies for the development of the textile and apparel industry in Xinjiang should have a one-year limit so that companies can have a bottom.

“If we follow the current policy, our company needs 12 years of development in Xinjiang to recover its investment. If the relevant policies of this intermediate country change, the development of the company will be greatly affected.” Li Yuzhang said.

Wei Xuezhu, chairman of Henan Xinye Textile Co., Ltd., also stated that at present, companies are still worried about the development prospects. They do not know how many years these policies can last, and whether the relevant policies can continue to remain stable.

At the same time, Wei Xuezhu also stated that at present, the financial institutions' support for textile enterprises is not enough, and enterprises still have certain difficulties in restricting the development of enterprises in Xinjiang.

The relevant person in charge of Xinjiang Tangcheng Cotton Industry Co., Ltd. also called for the relevant policies of the state to promote the development of Xinjiang's textile and garment industry. However, some policies have not been put in place. I hope these policies can be put in place as soon as possible.

Introduce large enterprises and extend them to the back road

The development of textile and garment industries in Xinjiang should not only limit the products in the front line of the industrial chain, but must also make a fuss about the latter industries such as home textiles and clothing, and guide relevant enterprises to settle in Xinjiang, which can not only promote more employment, but also promote Xinjiang's textile industry. The strength and grade of the garment industry.

In fact, for Xinjiang to vigorously develop the textile and garment industry, we must not only see opportunities, but also must see challenges. We must not blindly develop and we must build on a scientific and rational development track.

Wang Tiankai pointed out that in the development of the textile and garment industry in Xinjiang, it is necessary to combine the trend of industrial transformation and upgrading and structural adjustment, and grasp the total amount of textile and garment industry in Xinjiang from a scientific and rational perspective. It is necessary to introduce large-scale enterprises to the development of Xinjiang and use advanced models such as advanced management, talents, and markets to promote the development of local industries.

Sun Weiting, chairman of Huafu Color Spinning Co., Ltd., also said that the use of large companies to promote the development of Xinjiang textile and garment industry will be more effective.

Leading the textile and garment industry in Xinjiang to extend backwards is crucial for the future development of Xinjiang. Wang Tiankai pointed out that the development of textile and garment industries in Xinjiang should not be confined to the products in the front line of the industry chain. It must be done in the post-industry industries such as home textiles and clothing to guide relevant companies to settle in Xinjiang, which can lead to more employment. Can enhance the strength and grade of Xinjiang textile and garment industry.

Gao Yong, vice president and secretary-general of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, stressed that the development of the textile and garment industry in Xinjiang requires that clothing be the leading factor in the future. It is necessary to support the development of the latter industry in terms of policies and measures.

Xu Wenying, vice president of the China Textile Industry Federation, said that the development of the post-industry industry not only allows for more employment, it can also use clothing to pull the former industry, and it must be closely integrated with the textile and apparel development of neighboring countries.

Qiu Yafu, chairman of Shandong Ruyi Technology Group, also believes that it is very important for Xinjiang to develop the textile and apparel industry. “If all of them develop primary products, then the future will be a big problem. We must attract some later companies to settle in Xinjiang and improve Xinjiang’s textile and apparel industry. Industry chain."

Ye Maoxin, vice president of China Hengtian Group Co., Ltd., said that the development of textile and apparel industry in Xinjiang is not simply a transfer of production capacity, but a development center for the future textile and garment industry, so we must establish a perfect industry from the former to the latter. chain.

The construction of a talent team is also crucial to the development of the textile and apparel industry in Xinjiang. Wang Tiankai specifically proposed that talent training is very important. Without the construction of a talent team, there can be no great development in Xinjiang's textile and clothing industry. Therefore, Xinjiang's development of the textile and garment industry must pay attention to the integration of the training of talented people and the integration of minorities, and jointly promote the healthy and sustainable development of the textile and garment industry in Xinjiang.

Regarding the implementation of the “One Belt and One Road” strategy, Wang Tiankai emphasized that the “One Belt and One Road” strategy will provide new opportunities for the development of the textile and clothing industry in Xinjiang. The industry and enterprises must do some targeted research to analyze the opportunities existing in the “Belt and Road” initiative. .

Wang Tiankai said that for the development of Xinjiang's textile and garment industry, China Textile Association will also provide strong support and help in talents, technology and other aspects, and with a high degree of enthusiasm to jointly promote the development of textile and garment industry in Xinjiang.
