“Although domestic raw silk prices have risen rapidly since the beginning of 2021, which has directly driven the purchase price of spring cocoons in Guangdong, Guangxi and other places to rise sharply, and domestic production orders of enterprises have increased, export orders are still in short supply. The economy of the cocoon and silk industry in 2021 Whether it can return to the level before the COVID-19 epidemic remains to be seen. I remind everyone to remain optimistic and continue to be mentally prepared to deal with various difficulties and risks in the long term.” Tang Lin, President of the China Silk Association, said at the 2021 held recently Said at the National Cocoon and Silk Industry Production and Sales Situation Analysis Meeting.
The word “stability” must be at the forefront during the period of change
At present, my country’s silk industry is still in a period of transformation in technology, market, and profit model, with risks and opportunities coexisting. Analyzing the production and marketing situation and industry development strategies during the “14th Five-Year Plan” can find the direction for the next development of the industry. At the 2021 National Cocoon and Silk Industry Production and Sales Situation Analysis Meeting, the participating representatives initially reached a consensus: the development of the silk industry must take “stability” as the top priority, make progress while maintaining stability, make cautious judgments, and highlight the importance of innovative development.
Chen Xiangping, President of the Sichuan Silk Association, said that the development of the silk industry lies in quality and brand, so it is necessary to improve quality And work hard to build the brand. The cocoon price should not be lower than 50 yuan/kg, otherwise the enthusiasm of farmers will be damaged.

Solve industrial bottlenecks and strengthen market supervision.
“We must combine the rural revitalization strategy and deepen the transformation of the first workshop model. The current market is not optimistic, especially in the international market, so we must work hard to develop the domestic market, hoping to improve Domestic market environment. The development of the silk industry must highlight innovation and leadership, especially the intelligentization of silk reeling equipment. It must highlight green development and enhance the sustainability of the silk industry. It must highlight open development, accelerate the development of central, eastern and western regions, large, medium and Small businesses, the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries. We must advocate the spirit of craftsmanship and hope that the China Silk Association will organize professional training and skills competitions.” said Wu Jingen, president of the Zhejiang Silk Association.
Liu Changgui, president of the Shandong Silk Association, said: “At present, the cocoon silk market has picked up, but it is still very different from before the epidemic. The situation of small and medium-sized enterprises is particularly difficult. , hoping that the government will guide and support consumption. The entire industry must build confidence, base itself on itself, improve quality, and increase sericulture technology innovation.”
Wang Xiaohui, President of Chongqing Cocoon and Silk Industry Association, said , the intensification, scale and base of the sericulture industry must integrate systems and policies by region and play the role of leading enterprises. At the same time, we should encourage leading companies to join forces to make their brands bigger. Industrial policies should be developed based on the characteristics of each region’s factors, and the scope should be based on the scale of industrial operations and other supporting facilities. Industry associations must be horizontally integrated, and industry supply chain information must be sound. “The future sericulture model must have a system for evaluating the labor force of sericulture farmers. Currently, silkworm breeds are seriously degraded. Silkworm breeds must be improved and sericulture companies should be encouraged to improve economic benefits,” Wang Xiaohui said.
When building internal loops, you need to find the correct position
In view of the current situation of the silk industry such as sluggish domestic sales, blocked exports, insufficient production orders, and shortage of working capital, industry insiders are looking for more reasonable development strategies.
When talking about the economic trend of the silk industry in the second half of 2021, Qian Youqing, executive vice president of the China Silk Association, said that he is cautiously optimistic about the silk industry in general. He analyzed: “In 2021, it is expected that industrial production will gradually recover, the cocoon silk market will stabilize, the decline in foreign trade exports will gradually narrow, various economic indicators are expected to return to normal, and the industry’s economic recovery momentum will be further strengthened.” In view of the current complex and severe situation, Based on the domestic and international economic situation, he suggested that enterprises should firmly establish risk awareness, accurately judge the market situation, and arrange production scientifically and rationally. At the same time, we must pay close attention to changes in market conditions, strengthen trend analysis and judgment, strictly control raw material inventory according to sales and production, and avoid blindly following the trend of stockpiling to prevent the risk of depreciation and losses caused by the decline of high-priced raw materials. Not only that, but we must also pay attention to the exchange settlement risks brought about by the continued appreciation of the RMB, and use hedging tools rationally to reduce profit losses on export orders as much as possible. It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate its own economic strength, be cautious about external investments and guaranteed loans, and guard against internal financial risks and inter-enterprise debt risks.
Liu Zhuoming, general manager of China Cocoon and Silk Trading Market, said: “We should be cautiously optimistic about the comprehensive cost of cocoon supply, inflation expectations, the degree of domestic market sinking, and the recovery of demand for epidemic control. attitude; we should not be blindly optimistic about the degree of recovery of the export market, monetary policy, changes in the international political situation, and the tolerance of silk consumption. Interaction of factors on the supply side + demand release on the client side = efficiency and win-win. Silk Industry in 2021 For the chain to develop healthily, the upstream and downstream must tolerate each other and leave each other a reasonable space. Only then can we achieve win-win cooperation and achieve a virtuous cycle of healthy development of the industry.”
Jiaxin Silk Stock �Zhou Guojian, chairman of �� Co., Ltd., said that in the future, Jiaxin Silk will insist on strengthening its main business and plans to complete the “one-stop”, strengthen the “two barrels of gold” and form three major supply chain clusters by 2025. Goal.
