Russia intends to accelerate the development of the cotton raw material industry According to the Russian report, according to data from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, all Russian cotton imports depend on imports. In 2012, Russian cotton imports were 90,000 tons, which is expected to more than double in 2020. Over the years, the supply of the cotton market has been undersupplied, leading to higher prices. The dependence of many importing countries on major cotton-producing countries has drastically fluctuate prices in the years of poor cotton production, which has brought great uncertainty to textile producers, and the cost of the products has largely been determined by the price of raw materials.

The Russian Federation of Textiles and Light Industry Enterprises believes that Russia should establish a cotton base with an annual capacity of 4 to 45,000 tons of cotton fibers. This requires the production of 12 to 135,000 tons of cotton raw materials. Only this scale can eliminate raw materials. Dependency. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a new agricultural sector: to build a cotton cleaning factory, establish a cotton cultivation and harvesting new technology demonstration area, and train technical personnel. Without government support, such a project cannot be profitable.

Experts pointed out that Russian-made cotton may not be competitive in quality. The demand for synthetic materials in the international market continues to rise. The production of chemical fiber fabrics using petroleum products as raw materials has been successful in Germany. It is recommended that the Ministry of Industry and Trade consider simultaneously the planning for the production of chemical fiber fabrics.

The imposition of anti-dumping duties on China’s clothing cannot solve the Peruvian issue. The decision of merchants in the gamarra clothing market to prepare for a strike on September 5th was announced. Ferrexros, general manager of the Peruvian Foreign Trade Association (comex), published a weekly report in the association. A signed article said: “A few days ago, representatives from the market’s trade unions said that the market’s turnover will increase by 10% year-on-year in 2013, and the sales volume will reach US$1.65 billion. This year's winter has improved sales, the export market has further increased, and profit expectations have increased. As a result, it rose, but just a few days later, the market union was “intimidated” by a government official who did not want to be named. The representative of the market immediately changed his tone, claiming that 14,000 Secret Textile and garment companies were unfairly competed by Chinese apparel products. Damages, low-cost customs declarations and other unhealthy acts flooded the secret market. Therefore, the official anti-dumping investigation agency indecopi needed to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese products. The trade union then made a decision to stop the market.”

At the same time, the fees further clarified that “There is no doubt that low-cost customs declaration is illegal and should be punished. However, asking the government to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese products is not a reasonable mechanism to solve the above problems. Using trade remedy to curb foreign product competition is not It is possible that the attempt by the Peruvian Ministry of National Competition and Indecopi to “hand in hand” will help the Peruvian domestic garment manufacturers to harm all Peruvian consumers’ rights.Why this market represents the indecopi investigation into the US Cotton case and the Indian textile line? Does the case remain closed?"

Finally, fees indicate that the Peruvian government cannot arbitrarily manipulate such professional technical institutions as indecopi to impose tax on a certain case, but does not take measures against other cases. The above approach is inappropriate.

Indecopi launched an anti-dumping investigation on China's apparel and accessories products in June 2012. A key factual report was issued on July 17 this year. Regardless of the opposition of the Chinese and secret importers, it was found that there are widespread dumping of secret clothing products in China and secret domestic industries exist. damage.
