Experienced the rapid development of reform and opening up 30 years, the Chinese textile industry is accelerating from the number of growth to improve the quality of the transformation and upgrading, however, when we look back on the development process but found that the textile industry development lifeline of raw materials, especially natural fibers, in addition to The number of shortages, as well as the quality of the "black hole" has not yet been effectively resolved.

Mulberry silk, cashmere and ramie, are China's total production accounted for more than 70% of the world's total, stable monopoly status of high-grade textile raw materials. However, in recent years, these high-grade raw material quality decline can be described as shocking. In the past 10 years, the rate of cocoon cocoon in China (that is, the ratio of 100 kilograms of fresh silk cocoons) dropped from 38% to 25%. In China's agricultural scientific and technological personnel of the tireless efforts, fresh silkworm cocoon in the silkworm pupa increasingly large, and cocoon is increasingly thinning. In the individual cocoon weight increase, that is, the rapid increase in cocoon production behind, is the rapid increase in the cost of silk raw materials and silk quality of the rapid decline.

A leader in the silk industry for many years, told reporters that now is to go all over the country to find, we have not been able to find the gold medal in the first session was the quality of the "lake" the. Want to let the quality of silk raw materials back to the level of the last century 50's, it means that a lot of things to be overturned.

China's cashmere industry leader Ordos Cashmere Group launched its own top brand - "1436" many years ago, its meaning refers to the use of an average diameter of 14 microns, the length of 36 mm above the high-quality cashmere made of cashmere products. But in recent years, "1436" brand is subject to the great constraints on the quality of raw materials, and can not meet the needs of domestic and foreign high-end market.

Ramie is known as the "Chinese grass", in the last century 80's, ramie annual output reached 200 million tons. However, in recent years, ramie main producing areas blind pursuit of production, selection of improper varieties, coupled with the abuse of fertilizers and ramie varieties of degradation and other reasons, so that the quality of fiber deteriorating. At present, in the domestic market, it is difficult to find the average number of branches in 2500 above the ramie fiber, the average ramie fiber average of only 1,200 branches. In desperation, the domestic well-known ramie enterprises have their own establishment of planting base. Nevertheless, the average base of ramie varieties at the planting base is only 1,800 to 2,400.

80s of last century, the reporter in Hubei Province to participate in land and resources survey, Hubei Enshi area of ​​some excellent ramie varieties of single fiber count as high as 2800 kilograms, individual varieties of fineness even more than 3000 branches. The high performance ramie fiber can be compared with cotton. Now this fine varieties have been difficult to find, ramie fiber varieties directly lead to a decline in the quality of China's ramie textiles in the international market sales fell 40% straight line, because 1500 kg of ramie fiber made of the product, The prickle is hard to avoid.

Cotton is one of the main raw materials of the textile industry, due to the uncertainty caused by the supply of the market so that the prices of textile enterprises miserable. In addition to the pain of the price, domestic cotton quality problems have been plagued with the cotton business, resulting in the decline in the quality of textile cases are also a few. Although in recent years, domestic efforts to improve the quality of domestic cotton, to play its unique advantages, but it is undeniable that China's high-end textile production enterprises are still more trusted cotton imports.

Some people will be attributed to the decline of domestic natural fiber quality of the Chinese economy from the era of planned economy shortage to the era of excess market economy in the inevitable transition of a process, that is, in the circulation of money in the circulation of bad money to evoke the phenomenon of good money; China's textile industry, the extraordinary development - after all, in a short period of more than 10 years, China's textile fiber processing capacity from millions of tons per year soared to the current 40 million tons; others also attributed it to textile raw materials supply Chain of the split, the flow of cotton in the field of monopoly, only the weight of the neglect of the quality of agricultural policy guidance, etc., all the reasons have enough facts to support. But one thing is certain, and now the supply of textile raw materials to reflect the doping to fake, shoddy and so on quality problems, no less than China's food safety issues on the seriousness.
