  • Wei Gangmin, Chairman of our company, delivered the annual work report of the Raw Material Industry Chain Branch of China Cotton Association.
On August 16, a joint meeting of the Raw Material Industry Chain Branch and the Information and Statistics Professional Committee of the China Cotton Association was successfully held in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Mr. Wei Gangmin, Chairman of our company and Vice President of the China Cotton Textile Industry Association, and President of the Raw Material Industry Chain Branch of the China Cotton Association, delivered the branch's annual work report.
President Wei summarized the branch's key work over the past year and put forward the work plan for the coming period. He stated that since the beginning of this year, cotton prices have continued to rise, deviating from the basic supply and demand fundamentals, under the influence of factors such as optimistic expectations for domestic consumption recovery after the epidemic, a decrease in the planting area for the new year, and market speculation. The soaring cotton prices are difficult to pass on to downstream industries, cotton textile enterprises are cautious in purchasing cotton, the pressure on production and operation is increasing sharply, and the loss rate is expanding. Faced with the severe situation in the industry chain, the Raw Material Industry Chain Branch has repeatedly put forward policy adjustment suggestions to relevant national departments regarding raw material security, market operation, and industry development, in order to ensure the stable and healthy development of the industry chain. In the future, under the unified guidance of the China Cotton Textile Industry Association, the branch will continue to strive to complete various tasks assigned by the superior authorities and actively provide industry consultation and services for cotton textile enterprises.
