Quality Problems Of Imported Cotton Occur Frequently In China.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of agriculture that in recent years, the quality of imported cotton has frequently occurred in China.

According to the white paper released by the State General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine, the quality of imported cotton in China showed that the grade, length and strength of imported cotton in 2015 were higher than those of the same period last year.

According to statistics, the overall average rate of non conformity was 14.72%, an increase of 1.77 percentage points compared with the same period in 2014 (12.95%), grade reduction from 0.5 to 4, and 121 batches of imported cotton down to 100%.

The overall average rate of non conformity was 6.65%, an increase of 2.34 percentage points compared with the same period in 2014 (4.31%) and a decrease of 100% in 23 batches of imported cotton.

The overall non conformity rate of micron value was 3.19%, which was 0.97 percentage points lower than that of the same period in 2014 (4.16%), and that of the 18 batches of imported cotton was not up to 100%.

The overall non conformity rate of fiber strength was 4.84%, an increase of 0.98 percentage points compared with the same period in 2014 (3.86%), and that of the 19 batches of imported cotton was 100%.

On the arrival weight, the problem of short weight is still outstanding.

It was found that 84.47% of the batches were short weight and the average short weight rate was 0.80%.

China is the largest cotton producer, consumer and importer in the world.

Cotton production accounts for nearly 1/3 of world cotton output. In recent years, cotton sowing area has continuously decreased, but output still stands at more than 5 million 500 thousand tons.

According to the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences

Tang Shurong, a researcher at the Institute of cotton quality supervision and testing center of the Ministry of agriculture, said that the quality of domestic cotton has gradually improved in recent years, and the domestic high-quality cotton can meet the cotton demand of domestic textile enterprises.

With China's emphasis on improving cotton quality, cotton seed producing areas such as Xinjiang have been improved from seed selection, cultivation mode, cotton processing and pportation. In recent years, the internal quality of domestic cotton has been improved.

The quality cotton resources produced in Xinjiang and other areas have also become the target of cotton spinning enterprises in the production of high-end products.

In 2015, under the condition of continuous high domestic inventories, China's cotton imports still amounted to 1 million 760 thousand tons, and the main source of imports included the United States, India,

The world's cotton producing countries and regions such as Uzbekistan, Brazil and Africa.

Compared with domestic cotton, especially in the implementation of the cotton target price policy, imported cotton has a certain price advantage, which is also the main reason for high cotton imports and domestic cotton inventories in recent years.

The influx of imported cotton and the quality of the products are worrying. It not only affects the interests of China's cotton spinning enterprises, but also impacts China's cotton market order. It also has a significant negative impact on China's cotton production and cotton farmers' interests.

Experts suggest that we should further strengthen the inspection and management of imported cotton quality and safeguard the legitimate interests of domestic industries.
