Xinjiang: Undertake the textile and clothing industry to accelerate the transfer of special preferential policies and measures

Xinjiang, a once distant and unfamiliar region, has become a hot spot for investment in the textile and clothing industry in recent years. Driven by the development opportunities of the “One Belt and One Road“, Xinjiang has accelerated the construction of the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt and is export-oriented. The door of the economy is opening wider and wider, creating a virtuous cycle market environment for the sustained, healthy and orderly development of the industry.

With years of vigorous development, Xinjiang’s textile and garment industry has continued to grow its industrial base and complete its industrial chain. It has formed a group consisting of textile raw materials, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing, home textiles, knitting, “#FF8040”>Industrial textilesAn industrial system composed of multiple industrial sectors. In particular, breakthroughs have been made in printing and dyeing production, which restricts the extension of the industrial chain. It is reported that as of the end of 2021, Xinjiang has accepted more than 1,100 textile and garment companies from other domestic provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to invest and develop in Xinjiang, and the development momentum is promising.

The reporter learned that the People’s Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region recently issued Document No. 31 of 2022 – “About Accelerating the Undertake of Textile and Clothing and OtherLabor-Intensive TypesNotice on Implementation Opinions on Industrial TransferPromotingEmployment“. This is an authoritative and important guiding document on the development of the textile and apparel industry in Xinjiang, which provides important basis and support for the subsequent development of the textile and apparel industry in Xinjiang states, cities, and counties. At the same time, the document also releases a positive signal that Xinjiang will continue to vigorously develop the textile and clothing industry to drive employment during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period.

It is worth noting that Xinjiang has listed labor-intensive industries such as textiles, clothing, and electronic products as key industries for development during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period. It is believed that the superposition of a series of special preferential policies and measures by the country and the autonomous region will be a great success for the future. Provide strong support for the development of the textile and clothing industry.

About “development goals”: three transformations + 450,000 new jobs

[Data: During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, we strive to create more than 450,000 new jobs in labor-intensive industries such as textiles and clothing in Xinjiang, of which more than 60% are new jobs in southern Xinjiang. 】

The document provides clear “three changes” for the development goals of Xinjiang’s textile and garment industry:

First, promote the transformation of the textile and apparel industry from a single cotton raw material path to a diversified raw material path represented by cotton and chemical fiber, and enhance the elasticity and resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain;

The second is to promote the transformation of labor-intensive industries such as textiles and clothing from primary processing to a full industry chain oriented toward technology, fashion, and green, and promote the improvement of industry quality and efficiency;

The third is to guide the industry to gradually transform from a “policy lowland” to a market-oriented “industrial agglomeration highland” and promote high-quality industrial development. We strive to create more than 450,000 new jobs in labor-intensive industries such as textiles and clothing in Xinjiang during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, of which more than 60% are new jobs in southern Xinjiang.

It is worth noting that the goal clearly mentions that the number of jobs must be increased by more than 450,000 people. 450,000 people is not a small number. In 2014, Xinjiang issued the “Opinions on Developing the Textile and Garment Industry to Drive Employment” and introduced ten preferential policies in terms of land, taxation, and electricity prices. The employment goal proposed at that time was to create 1 million new jobs in 10 years. Comparing this figure, the “14th Five-Year Plan” proposed in this document will create 450,000 new jobs, which shows the great determination.

About “Cotton, Cotton Yarn Development”: High Standards

[Data: By the end of 2023, cotton spinning production capacity with a scale of less than 30,000 spindles (including 30,000 spindles) and backward equipment will be eliminated. The spindle scale of new cotton spinning projects in the four prefectures of southern Xinjiang shall be no less than 100,000 spindles, and no less than 200,000 spindles in other regions. 】

“Backing the mountain and eating the mountain” is the basic underlying logic for the development of Xinjiang’s textile and apparel industry. Giving full play to the advantages of the cotton base is crucial to the development of Xinjiang’s textile and apparel industry.

The document states: Xinjiang “has achieved remarkable results in the construction of a national high-quality cotton yarn base.” Specifically: In 2021, Xinjiang’s cotton planting area was 37.59 million acres, with a total output of 5.129 million tons, accounting for 89.5% of the country’s total cotton output and about 20% of the world’s total cotton output. The level of scale, mechanization and intensification of cotton scientific and technological planting and production continues to improve, with the machine picking rate reaching 80%. Cotton quality is generally improving, and the industrial chain continues to extend. The number of spindles is 21.46 million, and the cotton on-site conversion rate reaches 35%. . The cotton and cotton spinning industry has become an important pillar industry for Xinjiang’s economic and social development and a people’s livelihood industry that helps farmers increase their income and become rich.

The next development of Xinjiang requires “the construction of a national high-quality cotton yarn base with high standards.”

“High standards” is the core word! How high standards?

The document points out: It is necessary to improve the local conversion rate of Xinjiang cotton and extend the cotton industry chain. Accelerate the establishment of a national cotton yarn trading center. By the end of 2023, cotton spinning production capacity with a scale of less than 30,000 spindles (including 30,000 spindles) and backward equipment will be eliminated through shutdowns, mergers and reorganizations, and technological transformation. It is strictly prohibited to start new cotton productionInvestment tends to extract short-term policy dividends rather than settle in Xinjiang based on long-term principles; for example, the lag in the training of highly skilled talents cannot meet the talent needs of enterprises for high-level development, which has affected the confidence of enterprises in investment, etc. Xinjiang has let People feel full of expectations and helplessness at the same time. During the “14th Five-Year Plan”, China’s economic development faces important challenges in the extremely complex internal and external environment. The epidemic has repeatedly caused problems in the industrial chain cycle, and the situation in Russia and Ukraine has caused oil and otherbulk commodities prices Remaining high, the development of enterprises is under great pressure. At this moment, Xinjiang once again issued a document “Accelerating the relocation of labor-intensive industries such as textiles and clothing to promote employment”, which is undoubtedly a positive signal, and more importantly, we see in this document the determination, confidence and confidence in the realization of the textile and clothing industry in Xinjiang With an attitude of high-quality, long-term and stable development, we look forward to Xinjiang’s textile and garment industry once again creating new glory during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, and looking forward to bringing more high-quality products from China through Xinjiang in the new business era of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. Textiles were transported westward.
