Hemp industry hopes to increase policy support

During this year's ** period, the proposal of “Intensive Support to the Development Policy of Hemp Spinning Industry” put forward by Qiu Xinhai, the representative of the National Committee of Jiangxi Province and Enda Home Textiles Co., Ltd., became a hot spot for the people of the Mafang industry. According to industry insiders, this motion is in line with the needs of the industry in the new situation.

Strengthening the cultivation of hemp raw materials to give direct subsidies to farmer

Qiu Xinhai pointed out that the development of the hemp industry is facing market opportunities after the bottleneck such as insufficient investment in innovation, overall backwardness in the level of technology and equipment, and insufficient expansion of the consumer market. In addition to the efforts of the Mafang industry itself, the relevant state departments should pay attention to the development of the Mafang industry. And policy support. To strengthen the construction of high-quality raw material bases for domestic hemp, the State shall enable the farmers of the planting hemp to enjoy the same policy of equal subsidies for grain farmers, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the hemp farmers, expand the area of ​​raw materials, and promote the development of domestic raw material bases in the direction of scale and industrialization. development of.

In this regard, Xu Jixiang, president of the China Textile Industry Association, expressed his deep approval. He pointed out that the cultivation and cultivation of raw materials will play a powerful role in promoting the development of the Mafang industry. At present, China's ramie production volume and processing volume account for 90% of the world's ramie production and processing volume. Flax processing volume accounts for 70% of the world's linen processing volume. It can be said that China's hemp textile industry is in an important position in the world. However, 90% of China's flax raw materials are imported, and over 70% of jute's raw materials are imported. In recent years, the planting area of ​​ramie has shrunk, and the cultivation of China's ramie textile raw materials has been seriously insufficient. Therefore, China's textile industry, which is in an important position in the world, is in urgent need of national support and incentive policies to protect the interests of farmers and ensure the stable development of the industry.

Xu Jixiang stated that in recent years, China’s grain production has been continuously harvested, and in 2013, China’s grain production has “increased”. The most important reason for this is that the state has increased its policy investment in agricultural grain production. This not only allows the development of agricultural production, but also gives farmers a lot of benefits. For example, in some areas grain subsidies such as grain direct subsidies, improved seed subsidies, agricultural machinery purchase and operation links have reached more than 110 yuan per mu, and the large grain producer discounts are even higher. At the same time, the state has successively introduced a series of policies to protect the interests of cotton farmers. For example, since the listing of Xinmian Cotton in 2011, the temporary storage and storage policy of the State Reserve Bank was implemented, which protected the interests of cotton farmers to some extent. However, in order to adapt to the development of the new situation, starting from April 2014, China has cancelled its policy of cotton collection and storage, and changed its policy of directly subsidizing cotton farmers, so as to protect the interests of cotton farmers and bring about benefits for the stability of the textile industry. China's bast fiber planting has not been able to enjoy state subsidies, coupled with low investment in breeding, low mechanization, and high labor intensity, and some digging, numbness, and abandoned linen have occurred.

When talking about the shrinking of flax plants in Heilongjiang Province, Ma Liqun, President of Qiqihar University, also stated: “The risk of planting flax is high and there are many food subsidies, resulting in the loss of the comparative advantage of flax. Many farmers abandoned grain and grain, which is an important loss of flax planting in Heilongjiang in recent years. the reason". The low cropping efficiency of hemp crops has not only dampened the enthusiasm of farmers for planting hemp, but also caused trouble to the national hemp spinning industry.

Therefore, the implementation of the direct subsidy policy for seedlings by the State is in full compliance with the development of the new situation and is also urgently needed to solve the problem of raw materials in our country. In this way, on the one hand, peasants grow hemp crops by area and directly supplement seedlings, provide comprehensive subsidies for agricultural resources, and subsidize thoroughbreds, so that peasant farmers and farmers who grow grain and grow cotton receive benefits from the state's agricultural support policy. On the other hand, protecting the interests of the farmers who grow seed and peasants, and mobilizing the enthusiasm of the farmers and the Ma Ma, will help stabilize the basis of the Ma industry.

Strive to reduce the tax burden and establish a special hemp special fund

In addition to appealing for grants to Maanong, Qiu Xinhai also suggested that the relevant state departments should support the Mafang industry in creating and promoting branded products, strengthening the domestic market, lowering the import of hemp textile fiber tariffs, and introducing relevant subsidy policies for the export of hemp products.

In this regard, China Ma Textile Industry Association has actively applied to the relevant state departments to fight for the reduction of import linen fiber tariffs, and for the Jute enterprises to strive for export product subsidy policy. For example, since January 2010, the linen tariff has fallen from 6% to 3%; from January 2012, the linen tariff has been reduced from 3% to 1%; from January 2013, linen staples have been used. The tariff rate for waste hemp dropped from 4% to 1%, which reduces the cost of imported textile raw materials for flax and is well received by flax enterprises.

As the largest ramie production enterprise in China, the person in charge of the Hunan Huasheng Group stated that because ramie is a characteristic resource and a rare resource in China, it is recommended that the taxes on products purchased from ramie and linen be sold be compared with the taxation policies for soybeans and soybean oil. Implementing the 13% tax rate for inbound sales to effectively reduce the tax burden on the hemp processing enterprises.

At the same time, for Heilongjiang, which is a raw material base for flax planting, Ma Liqun suggested that the government should improve the long-term development plan for the flax industry and establish a linen business association and flax planting risk**. The provincial finance, seed breeding, and flax raw material processing enterprises shall respectively invest in the project. In the years when flax is severely affected, risk subsidy will be given to the original and original species of flax. The state should provide support in terms of policies and strive to reduce all import tariffs on linen, linen staples and waste hemp. The state should also actively resolve the taxation and exemption policies for the textile industry in the hemp industry.

He also pointed out that in Heilongjiang Province, a market environment and trading platform can be set up for the whole country to radiate the world's flax industry, and departments such as scientific research, production, processing, and trading can be combined to form an industry exhibition and product covering the linen chain. Trading, industry information, business logistics, and other functions, thus forming a complete industrial chain of the flax industry from the raw material to the end product cluster development.

In addition, some people in the industry believe that a special fund for the development of national hemp resources should be established to integrate various types of special projects such as the existing national environmental protection regional governance and special funds for the promotion and application of new environmental protection technologies and new technologies, agricultural plate base construction funds, and seedling breeding special funds. Funds, the establishment of special funds for the development of hemp resources, specifically for the support of high-quality planting bases, superior processing enterprises.

In the future, green products will dominate the world's textile, apparel and apparel consumer trends. Hemp textiles with a green product concept and natural health care functions will have broad prospects for development. Moreover, hemp textile has a strong sense of fashion in terms of appearance, and is a symbol of nobility in Europe and other developed countries and regions. With the continuous enrichment and improvement of the material and cultural levels of the society, the hemp textile market has great potential. If China's hemp industry can get more government support, coupled with the unremitting efforts of the industry itself, China's hemp industry will certainly develop into a real Hemp industry.
