1. Shandong Heze, Jining and Linyi areas

Most enterprises in Heze, Jining and Linyi areas mainly produce pure cotton yarn. A small number of enterprises produce cotton blended yarn and purified fiber yarn. The products are mainly sold to Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu. At present, most enterprises are starting to work normally. Some enterprises are undergoing equipment upgrades or factory relocations, and the operating rate is slightly insufficient.

The enterprises in Shandong Province started well in 2019, and the orders were sufficient. Most of the production plans of the enterprises could be arranged between April and May. The product inventory was less than one month, and the products of individual enterprises were slightly backlogged.

The difficulty in recruiting workers, the high cost of labor, and the age of employees are a major problem facing enterprises. The average wage of the enterprise vehicle operators visited by the research team is about 3800-4000 yuan/month. The age of employees is generally over 40 years old, and there are few young people. The cost of electricity for enterprises is between 0.6-0.7 yuan/kWh, with slight differences between regions. Most companies are willing to make technical changes in the future to improve efficiency and reduce employment.

Regarding Sino-US trade friction, the company said that since the Sino-US trade friction, product prices have been unsatisfactory, and the order volume has also declined to varying degrees. In particular, for individual exports, orders have been greatly reduced until after January this year. The situation has improved.

Regarding the reform of the cotton system, enterprises hope that the state can further relax the quota policy to meet the demand for cotton for enterprises. The company also proposed that the previous reserve cotton auction effectively stabilized the cotton price and filled the domestic cotton gap, hoping that the country could improve the reserve cotton rotation mechanism in the future.

Second, Shandong Binzhou, Dongying, Weifang, Qingdao area

The company's products are mainly made of pure cotton yarn. Some enterprises use differentiated fiber to enrich product functionality. The yarn count, raw materials and yarn structure are very rich, and diversified products avoid homogenization competition.

Production and sales, local enterprises are fixed by sales, no product inventory, orders are more stable; raw materials inventory is more than 1 month, according to the company, the foreign cotton used in Sino-US trade friction is mostly US cotton, Sino-US trade After the friction, the US cotton tariffs have grown and there are many uncertainties. More choices are made by Australian cotton, Brazilian cotton and Indian cotton.

In terms of employment, most of them are local employees. The company is basically in the state of recruiting first-line workers all the year round. The average age is relatively large, and the average salary is about 4,000 yuan/month. Many enterprises are gradually reducing the employment gap by gradually replacing old equipment. Cost sharing. Contrary to the frontline workers, the technical management personnel of many enterprise workshops are gradually becoming younger, and the cultivation and trust of young technicians are increased.

According to the survey, the reserve cotton was difficult to solve in the past, and it was difficult to solve the problem of the new year's shipping plan, reserve cotton quality and regulatory effectiveness. Compared with foreign cotton, the problem of foreign fiber has yet to be resolved.

Third, Shandong Tai'an, Liaocheng, Dezhou and other regions

The companies visited mainly produced medium and low-grade cotton yarns and cotton-polyester blended yarns, which were basically full-load after the holiday. At present, cotton stocks are maintained at around 1-2 months, orders are in good condition, and some enterprises' product stocks have risen slightly. The employees are mainly locals, and the salary level is 4000-4500 yuan/month. The enterprises generally reflect the difficulty of recruitment, the shortage of labor, and the mobility of personnel, which affects product stability.

Some enterprises have outdated production equipment, using the humidification method behind, the workshop temperature is high, and the flying flower problem is serious. At present, corporate technology reform and the willingness to update equipment are not strong. If we consider the long-term development of enterprises and improve the working environment of workers, it is of vital importance to change the business philosophy.

In terms of transformation and upgrading, some companies focus on developing differentiated yarns, increasing product added value and broadening market segments. The awareness of intellectual property rights has also been continuously enhanced, and applications for invention and utility model patents have received attention. The company said that it should also actively attach importance to brand building, and regard the brand as an important starting point for enhancing the soft power of enterprises, and improve their competitiveness and market share.

Fourth, Jiangsu Changzhou, Wuxi, Jiangyin and other regions

The research enterprises mainly produce low-purity cotton yarn and cotton-polyester blended yarn. In the first three quarters of 2018, the production and operation of the company was in good condition. From the fourth quarter to February 2019, under the influence of Sino-US trade friction, orders decreased and began to improve in March.

According to the survey, the wages of workers in southern Jiangsu are generally higher, and the average monthly wage is around 5,000-6,000. Affected by the economic development of the central and western regions, the number of foreign workers is currently decreasing, mainly based on local people, but the aging is more serious. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the market was not good, and some small businesses were unable to maintain their operations and shut down production. Therefore, enterprises with better operating efficiency are more comfortable in recruiting.

In terms of loans, enterprises report that the state should formulate corresponding policy standards for different groups, support and promote the long-term development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and cannot be “one size fits all”.

V. Northern and Central Jiangsu Province

The cotton textile enterprises in the region visited the production of medium and low-grade cotton yarn. The company said that the operating pressure in the fourth quarter of 2018 was very high. As China and the United States continued to make progress on trade issues, the production and operation of the company improved in 2019. After visiting the company during the Spring Festival, the operating rate is about 90%, and the product inventory is half a month to one month. The products are mainly sold domestically, and the orders are in good condition.

The average wage of workers in the local cotton textile industry is 4,000 yuan/month, and the workers are mainly locals. Some enterprises in the Yunguichuan area account for a certain proportion. The aging of enterprise workers is severe, the mobility of personnel is large, and the cost of labor is increasing year by year, which affects the stability and long-term development of enterprise products.

In order to increase the competitiveness of enterprises, companies are actively adjusting their product mix, and products are gradually shifting to color spinning and differentiated products. In order to effectively deal with the employment problem, enterprises strengthen production management and upgrade production equipment. However, due to financing difficulties and lack of funds, the progress of enterprise upgrading and transformation is slow. The business operators hope to implement the relevant policies of the state to support SME financing to the local area. Industry transformation and upgrading.

Visiting enterprises hope that the quota policy can be further relaxed to meet the demand for cotton used by enterprises, while improving the quality of domestic cotton and solving problems such as Sansi.

6. Foshan, Guangdong

The operation of dyed fabrics and denim enterprises in Foshan area was stable overall, and the start-up situation was good. The opening rate was over 95%. Yarns used in yarn-dyed fabrics are mainly made of pure cotton yarn, accounting for more than 95%. The output and profit in 2018 increased year-on-year. The current order is about 4 months. Denim companies have increased production capacity to varying degrees. In 2018, the output increased year-on-year, and the profit rate was flat. From the perspective of production yarns, the warp yarns were mainly pure cotton yarns, and the amount of weft-knitted yarns increased year-on-year. From the product point of view, the thin, high-elastic and comfortable denim is still 2019. The main varieties of the year, the current order is 2 months.

In terms of recruitment, yarn-dyed fabrics and denim companies all expressed a year-on-year easing compared with 2018. The main reason was that under the new round of transformation and upgrading and environmental protection pressure in Guangdong, forced small-scale enterprises were forced to suspend production of small labor, and high-grade Talent is still in short supply. In terms of employment, the wages of the first-line two-shifter in three shifts are 6000-7000 yuan/month, and the key first-line positions even exceed 10,000 yuan/month. Because of the long production process, the weaving cloth and denim enterprises employ about 150 people.

Dye prices have risen and environmental pressures have increased. In 2018, the price of indigo dyes for denim rose sharply, up to 60,000 yuan / ton. In early 2019, the price of dyes remained firm, and price transmission was blocked, which became the main reason for the decline in corporate profits. As the national environmental protection policy becomes more and more strict, downstream brand enterprises have put forward higher requirements for energy-saving and emission reduction of yarn-dyed fabrics and denim enterprises, forcing the development of enterprise products in the direction of environmental protection, green and sustainability.

In 2018, influenced by Sino-US trade frictions, in the context of uncertain market conditions, downstream corporate customers were cautious in placing orders, resulting in insufficient production confidence, and the performance in the fourth quarter was outstanding. As for the market situation, with the easing of Sino-US trade relations, entrepreneurs have reported that some orders in the early 2019 have returned domestic signs, and companies have seized opportunities to ensure stable production. Regarding the market situation, entrepreneurs believe that the situation in 2019 is still complex and changeable. The uncertainty of the future is both a challenge and an opportunity, and it is confident to maintain stable production.
