There are four major cotton centers in the world, in addition to Xinjiang in China, the United States, India and Brazil. Brazil, in particular, has been producing more and more cotton in recent years, overtaking the United States as the world's largest cotton exporter, while the United States fell to second. Why isn't the US targeting Brazil, why isn't it targeting India? The core is that Xinjiang cotton mainly high-end bureau.
Like India, the quality is more ordinary and the price is cheaper. What about Brazil? Both long-staple cotton and short-staple cotton have unstable quality and are greatly affected by climate.
Xinjiang cotton is different, with an annual output of 5 million tons, is the world's second largest cotton production base, making clothes and quilts, warm, breathable, comfortable, and in short supply all year round. Because of the high quality of Xinjiang cotton, the price is expensive, a ton can be sold for 17,000 US dollars. Overseas brands have stronger premium ability, higher prices, and Xinjiang cotton exports make more money. The result is that high-quality Xinjiang cotton is exported in large quantities, and ordinary overseas cotton is imported in large quantities.
At the same time, Xinjiang is rich in resources, and its political geography is also very special. It is a key hub connecting Central Asia and West Asia, and an important frontier for foreign exchanges such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Europe Freight train.
China's cotton industry is on the rise
With the continuous development of China's cotton industry, especially the rise of Xinjiang's cotton industry, it has occupied a growing share of the global textile industry market, which undoubtedly poses a challenge to the economic interests of some traditional Western textile industry powers and their enterprises.
Taking the United States as an example, its domestic cotton industry and related textile and garment enterprises have always occupied an important position in the global market. However, in recent years, the rapid development of China's Xinjiang cotton industry, when 3 million tons of Xinjiang cotton into the international market, originally, in the high-end market, the United States cotton is a show. But now, pressing American cotton. The competition pattern of the global cotton market has changed.
With the strengthening of the propaganda attention and strength of the domestic and foreign media, as well as the rise of the Internet, we can more calmly respond to the "propaganda offensive" in Europe and the United States. China's cotton industry will also actively strengthen scientific and technological innovation and quality improvement, expand new application fields, with the time goes by and the choice of the market, Xinjiang cotton will bloom more brilliant light. After all, cotton is soft and the Chinese are hard!
