Textile ambition of automotive -

-

-

It is a reality that we need to concentrate on the Technical textile to achieve permanent success at nowadays textile sector. One of the usage areas of Technical textile is transportation textile. The usage of textile materials in cars has increased due to coming into prominence of security and comfort in automotive industry. People’s expectation from cars has increased to higher level because people spend more time inside the car and the standards of living in the world have rised. The subjects like confort, functionality, security, economy and ecological are cared for the manufacturing of the automotive materials. Passenger cars include textile materials nearly 20kg or 40-45 square meter. However, the total weightiness of textile used does not out range 2 % of the total automobile weightiness. In terms of cost, transportation textile is at the first order in the Technical textiles but in terms of output amount it is at these condorder.

Car manufacturers use ecologically harmless materials for human and environment in automotive industry. Nowadays, decreasing of weightiness may be possible with changing metallic parts to the fiber-reinforced composites. So the biggest changes are expected in the area of composites for transportation textiles. The situation of transportation textiles in the future largely depends on new developments and new designs in automotive sector as well as the development of fiber.

Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. During the 1600’s, the early Christians in England celebrated a day to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. The holiday was later expanded in its scope to include all mothers, and named as the Mothering Sunday. As Christianity spread throughout Europe, the celebration changed to honor the “Mother Church” - the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration. People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.This custom eventually faded in popularity before merging with the American Mother’s Day in the 1900s.

The American incarnation of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis.

Following her mother’s 1905 death, Anna Jarvis conceived of Mother’s Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children. After gaining financial backing from a Philadelphia department store owner named John Wanamaker, in May 1908 she organized the first official Mother’s Day celebration in West Virginia. Following the success of her first

Mother’s Day, Jarvisstarted a massive campaign urging the adoption of a special day honoring motherhood. Her persistence paid off in 1914 when President W. Wilson signed a measure officially establishing the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. However, once Mother’s Day became a national holiday, it was not long before florists, card companies and other merchants capitalized on its popularity. Jarvis would later denounce the holiday’s commercialization, and ironically enough she spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar without any success. Mother’s Day has been celebrated all over the world whiledates and celebrations vary.

The usage of polyester has been rised even in bathrobes and towels. Especially the usage of cotton and polyester blend cloths has got growth each passing easier and also raw material shortage has not developing so the consumption of threads also increase in a direct proportion. Because of the production deficiency of synthetic threads in Turkey, we have to import.”

OFFERING SOLUTIONS TO THE CUSTOMERS Saim Çapar, who mentions about their being able to respond the fast procurement of exporters due demands of our customers owing to the fact that we, as a firm, have a flexible structure. When the

PRODUCTION SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED Çapar has mentioned about Turkey’s obligation of thread importation because Turkey cannot meet the needs of sector. Also he said, thread production based on raw materials should be encouraged without area differenproducer can only meet the needs at the rate of 60%-70%. The other part which is the need of the sector is imported. This rate is 80% for polyester, 100% for sewing threads. I think the imported threads, Turkey need, should be included in incentive scope for the investments to make for the production in our country. Thus, the needs for intermediate goods disappear and also current deficit has been met.”

For more than 35 years, Retech has been developing and producing components and installations for processing of synthetic filaments mainly in the field of thermal and mechanical treatment in order to create added value for our customers worldwide. Behind the nomencla-

ture thermal and mechanical treatment there is a large amount of Know-How and technical competence. E.g. Thermal treatment goes in 2 directions, namely heating as well as active larger range, starting from a big variety of dif-

ferent process speeds, an extensive range of different coatings of the godet rolls which are also vital to the excellent function and superior quality of the final product. RETECH offers complete solutions coming either as stand-alone concepts or fully integrated, as a retro-fit or upgrade of existing equipment. As the leading global partner of the textile industry in its field, RETECH Switzerland can look back on many years of experience in the world of research and development of components and installations, which are also used to significant advantage in other areas of the industry, such as solar cells.

Heated godets are since many years RETECH’s “flagship” and are used originally on drawtwisters they are now to be seen on most spin-draw and spin-draw-texturing machines running at surface speeds of 2,500 – 6,000 m/min. Although they are just as capable of transferring

heat to a bundle of filaments as contact heaters, their use in the false-twist texturing process has always been prevented by the high twist in the yarn as it leaves the heated roll. The temperature range of the Retech induction heated godets is between 50°C and 250°C, this really high range gives an even higher flexibility and added value to the customer.

Retech godet rolls are customized flexible solutions concept there are three main sizes of motor, which are available in different performances. For these types of motors there are different roll diameters in various lengths available.

After defining the heated godet size, the type of heating can be decided according specific customer process data such as the material to be processed, yarn count, number of

threads and wraps, process speed and temperatures, draw forces and yarn properties. In most cases the godets are heated by induction. Together with the customer on the base of process requirements Retech engineers work out the decision if one-zone or a multizone heating will be used and fact is that RETECH godets are capable of 6000 m/min with temperatures up to 250 °C. Furthermore is there the definition of the interface with the machine frame. In this case RETECH also offers wide range multi functional flanges with possibilities to adjust the angle. Alternatively the godets are available with their own bearing buildings to use for a very low speed application or to use them with a belt drive to drive several godet rolls centrally. Retech offers the customer a tailor made technical as well as financial solution and hence achieves the highest flexibility and benefit for the end-user of this godet rolls. In line with RETECH’s credo “always 1 step ahead” we are now focused on increasing the efficiency of the heating.

Basically there are 2 technologies available to control the heating. One option is offered by using high frequency application, quite efficient but also costly because additional devices are required. The other option is the conventional control using 50/60 Hz technollosses. RETECH now has improved on the common and reliable 50/60 Hz technology.

Air bearing separator rolls RETECH is focusing on a larger range of Air Bearing Separator Rolls (ABSR). We have successfully implemented this technology in the market, numerous ABSR’s are in operation worldwide, size 58 x 228 mm as well as new versions e.g. 58

x 320 mm / 36 x 158 mm and 35 x 80 mm, just to mention some. The advantage of our ABSR’s is the fact that our rolls reduce the air consumption by around 30 % and can sustain to higher radial and axial forces. Thanks to a complex technology we were able to reduce the air consumption of our latest version ABSR further, in fact the energy consumption is 1/3 less compared to conventional ABSR’s, combined with lower wear and tear.The main reason for such space available by means of individual design of all parts, considering the permanent weight and tolerances. Nano- technology is involved in order to reinforce the axial bearing. - In order to generate a maximum pay-load and a minimum on flywheel mass combined with supemore than design on paper but technical detailed evidence in the field. Consistent quality control is monitored as a necessity to achieve highest quality standards in order to make this product successful in the market.

RETECH improves quality with the on-line oped a yarn tension measuring system that continuously monitors yarn tension, records yarn breaks, calculates downtimes and provides machine efficiency and quality data.

This system was originally invented by Retech AG in the early 1980’s thereafter distributed until 2009. Subsequently Retech itself approached the world-wide market very successfully to the satisfaction of the customers. standard product as well as the entire Win-

standard for high quality and optimised production. Sustainability is becoming more and more important in every textile components which are running for more than 2 years without any problems to the satisfaction of the customers and where spare parts are granted over years. The developments of Retech show in this direction. RETECH uses only materials which can be recycled without any exception and all new developments are based on environmental correct solutions. If the customer takes into account the cost of the whole system, a RETECH solution is cost neutral from the beginning. A cost calculation shows that energy cost of the drawing process, depending on the yarn, can be reduced between 20 and 80%. However, a lot of customer still judges the price of each component rather than the advantages of the overall system. Unfortunately, the energy consumption in production is still given too little attention. The Focus in 2014 will be to convince customers to see modifications in this angle of vision.

RETECH´s components and installations are important links within the textile value chain. As the market leader, RETECH has extensive Know-How in design and construction of drawing elements in order to provide high-quality installations with excellent customer service. What customers need to purchase, such as process components for technical yarn, for sports wear as well as for automotive or tyre cord is part of the creativity of the Swiss manufacturer RETECH in this particular field. At RETECH the entire effort is

always focused on delivering customer benefits and keeping a close contact to the clients. The mutual success is primarily based on the company’s knowledge and focuses to meet every aspect of its customers’ requirements - at all times and in every location, globally yours, value added exclusively from RETECH Switzerland.

a new wave of automation rolls in -

Since 2012 Schlafhorst has been experiencing a sharp increase in demand for customised automation solutions in the package winding department. A new wave of automation is rolling through the global textile markets that will change the industry significantly in the next few years. With the Autoconer X5 and its new modular automation options, Schlafhorst offers spinning mills worldwide an optimal opportunity to ride this trend successfully.

Rapidly rising investment in automation of the package winding department is currently marking a new trend. Until recently, the main markets of -

For this reason Schlafhorst now offers its customers made-to-measure process automation solutions, which are optimally coordinated to the profile of requirements of each market and company, with the modular machine concept of the Autoconer.

manual machine type. Since 2012 the proportion of automatic Autoconer X5, type D and V winding machines has been increasing steadily and perceptibly. China and India above all are proving to be trendsetters. The degree of automation in these markets is growing dramatically.

It is noticeable that the trend towards automation has become much more individual. Gradual automation in differentiated stages is just

Autoconer - the name says it all Competence in creating innovative automation solutions is a tradition at Schlafhorst. The Autoconer 107 in 1962 was the first machine for automatic package winding to be ready to go into series production. Its automated sequences for eliminating yarn breaks and for bobbin changes were groundbreaking at the time.

and changing every single bobbin by hand were thus consigned to history. In the years following, the name Autoconer became synonymous with automation in the package winding department. Operation was simplified continuously, and more and more sequences were automated. An important impetus for automating the material flow and processes came during the 1980s from the then main markets of the textile industry in Europe and America, where rising labour costs led to a strong shift towards automation. With its caddy transport system for the Autoconer system 238, a feature that is unsurpassed even now, Schlafhorst created a milestone for the entire industry.

A holistic view of automation The major strength of Schlafhorst was and is its ability to look at processes in the spinning and winding mill as a whole in order to be able to introduce functional innovations into the individual process stages. Automation was thus looked at from a wide variety of angles too. It is found in different sequences in the winding process, for example:

and winding

With regard to automatic operation of the winding process, for example, sensor-monitored process sequences and central setting of the winding parameters at the Informator were introduced. These advances eliminated labourintensive mechanical adjustment and settings at the individual winding positions. The introduction of the Autoconer 338 was accompanied by the facility for setting the yarn tension regulation centrally, Autotense FX, and the sensor-controlled, centrally adjustable suction plant with AVC system, which rendered the laborious exchange of pulleys superfluous. The introduction of single drives on the Autoconer 5 was a prerequisite for being able to configure further winding parameters centrally, such as the suction arm spacing, the splicer feeder and the waxing. Innovations in automation resulted in a marked reduction in operator workload even on the manually operated winding machine Autoconage handling. The intelligent X-Change doffer is an automation unit that facilitates multi-tube handling and automatic lot changing without manual winding-on at each winding position among other things. The last two points are the automation stages which permit the greatest staff savings to be made. Intelligent automation functions were conceived that both reduced the outlay on operators and improved quality.

Modular material flow automation The long-term strength of an automation strategy is only demonstrated by the interaction of the modules. Schlafhorst offers every customer the right automation concept with the modular installation and material flow automation of the Autoconer X5. Textile companies with a clear automation strategy will therefore quickly find the optimum solutions for implementing their plans consistently at Schlafhorst. Customers opting for automation for the first time will receive extensive advice from the market and technology leader with regard to changing over their operating sequences. The more individual the requirements, the more important it is to support customers in the design phase.

By examining all design variants and using detailed model computations Schlafhorst finds the most efficient and productive solution for each individual customer.

Two machine types that are well known and proven over decades for an automatic material flow are the standalone version Autoconer X5 type D and the Autoconer X5 type V, which is directly linked to the ring spinning machine. On the type D, the bobbins are transported manually to the winding machine on large bobbin trucks and then placed onto the caddies via the flat circular conveyor. On the type V, the bobbins are supplied via an interface to the

CTS transfer station, which places the bobbins on the caddies and supplies them to the Autoconer. The empty tubes are returned automatically via the same interface and put back onto the peg trays of the ring spinning machine.

The type D machine can be located independently of the ring spinning machine. When switching from a manually operated machine to an automated system, the previous process sequence can be retained virtually unchanged, therefore. And it means more productivity and greater independence from personnel while retaining a high level of lot and material flexibility thanks to the automated bobbin handling.

By its direct linkage to the ring spinning machine, the type V machine paves the way for complete process integration between spinning and winding. The spinning and winding machine as well as transport and storage can be optimally coordinated to one another without any operator intervention. This results in higher productivity and improved quality with spindle identification system for the Autoconer X5 type V in particular opens up new possibilities of direct online quality control. The quality of each individual spindle can be monitored 100% and promptly by the system, meaning that quality problems are detected much earlier than in normal laboratory tests and can be

-

pinpointed precisely. Targeted early maintenance enables diminishing quality values to be remedied before they fall below the quality limit. However, high process integration in linked systems comes at a price. Converting a spinning mill with a manual process sequence to an automatic material flow calls for new sequences and a different space concept.

Even on the type V, a highly integrated automa-

-

tion solution, Schlafhorst has taken maximum flexibility into account. The interface between ring spinning machine and package winder on the type V can likewise be custom configured and adapted to the space available as well as to process sequences in the company.

A direct link is possible, as is a link via bobbin bridge or an underfloor link. It can be linked to ring spinning machines from all manufacturers.

Custom-built and individual - the new machine type T To cater even more specifically to customers’ requests, Schlafhorst has extended the product family to include the Autoconer X5 type T machine, which following manual central presentation of the bobbins prepares them automatically. The new machine type is an ultra-modern entry-level model for step-by-step automation of the package winding department. The type T can be equipped with the same automation modules that were developed for the type D. For example, customers can reduce manual intervention at the machine to a minimum with the new yarn seeker and the automatic bobbin tube remover.

FlowShare FX, the smartest material flow concept on the market the material flow on the package winding machine itself through FlowShare FX, the smartest

material flow control system on the market.

The system guarantees a continuous, self-regulated supply of bobbins to all winding units by reliably compensating for variations in the material supply. The individual functions of the system complement one another in their effect, offering a maximum leap in productivity.

Vario Reserve adjusts the number of reserve bobbins at the winding unit flexibly to meet the requirements. High Speed Feeding supports the requirement-driven supply of bobbins to the winding units by variable adjustment of the supply speed under sensor control. But it is Intelligent Bobbin Sharing that makes the autonomous material flow control system perfect.

This innovative function, which is only available on the Autoconer X5, ensures an intelligent exchange of bobbins between the winding units.

If one winding unit is threatened by a shortage of bobbins, the adjacent unit promptly surrenders a reserve bobbin. Waiting times are avoided thereby. FlowShare FX is therefore the

Successful automation with Schlafhorst - a summary Nowadays every company needs a flexible and individually configurable automation solution due to the individual basic conditions in its market. Textile companies that want to achieve successful automation will find a partner in Schlafhorst that considers the specific processes in each individual company as a whole and delivers made-to-measure automation solutions thanks to its modular concept. Customers with excellent process automation have been trusting in Schlafhorst’s competence for many years. In the latest wave of automation, the textile companies that will benefit above all from the know-how of the market leader are those that invest targetedly in automation for the first time and strive for future-ready solutions that are easy to realise and capable of expansion.

Highly productive and economical omy - those are the priority objectives that Schlafhorst is pursuing in the development and improvement of automation solutions. Higher cycle rates have been achieved on the new flat circular conveyor and the improved CTS transfer station. New operating principles on both units result in higher functional reliability at the same time. The consequence is an extremely reliable, fast process sequence without disruptions. Thanks to the perfect interplay between the individual innovations, Schlafhorst also constantly achieves synergy effects in the material flow.

The challenge was among other things to connect the line regarding drives and safety technology to an already existing felt calender. For this purpose all motors of the fabric drives have been replaced and the safety technology has been adapted to the latest requirements. Behind the rubber belt unit the fabric is led via guide and scroll rollers into the felt calender. Subsequently the fabric is transported with low tension via

a relaxation belt to the winding unit. In case of a working width of 2,00 m the line is operated depending on the type of fabric with a speed of up to 30 m/min. the fabric weights are between 50 and 300 g/m2.

With this line Dolinschek finishes mainly sensitive knitted fabrics made of cotton, viscose, polyamide and polyester for underwear and outerwear. For the improvement of brightness and touch the fabric is sanforized with a BRÜCKNER The residual shrinkage values before sanforizing are between 8 and 12 % and after sanforizing they are - even for knitted fabric - between 5 and 0 %. With mere cotton articles it is really possible to reach residual shrinkage values of 0 %, articles with 3 - 4 % elastane can reach residual shrinkage values between 0 and 3 %. In case of viscose articles the residual shrinkage is normally between 2 and 4 %. The fact that BRÜCKNER develops, designs and manufactures all lines exclusively in Germany was also for the company owner, Theo Dolinschek, a very important criterion for his decision to buy BRÜCKNER. The modification had to take place in very short time to keep the production interruption as short as possible. This was possible due to the very good co-

operation between both companies. As worldwide leading producer of system solutions for the finishing of textiles and technical wovens, carpets and nonwovens, BRÜCKNER stands since decades for innovative power and technology competence. Dolinschek was founded in 1980 as textile cutting and wholesale company. At that time they supplied mainly to customers in the field of night, casual and children’s wear.

After a reorganization of the company in 1997 they took over a dyehouse which was extended continuously in the following years. This allowed Dolinschek to extend also their range of articles considerably in the following years. In 2001 a move into the premises of a former textile factory in Burladingen came up and this is where the company is domiciled today with finishing, dyeing, warehouse, laboratory and administration. In these premises Dolinschek produces with three BRÜCKNER stenters, one sanforizing range, one relaxation dryer, one continuous washing machine and several dyeing machines made

by Thies and with lines made by the company Today Dolinschek has about 100 employees and supplies to customers all over Europe and some even all around the globe.

CREATIVITY: new dimensions in technical fabrics Aerospace and textiles: A combination that would probably not come immediately to ber of other Swiss textile machinery companies now actively providing manufacturing solutions for this most technically demanding of industry

and weaving preparation technology, with an unrivaled track record of market success. Innate creativity has extended its reach into dramatically different fields. Robotics is one, now company’s textile operation, headquartered at Sargans, is also flexing its creative muscles.

Drawing on existing expertise within the group, activity, the demand for three-dimensional fabrics for specialized technical textiles end-uses has been a key driver of progress. The Alpha 400 of the woven carpet machines, it also draws on multilayer fabrics in 3D. Suppliers to aircraft makers need to observe the toughest standards of quality and consistency to win and retain orders, so this machine has been precisely engineered to guarantee top performance. The key is precise control of warp threads in each fabric layer, to ensure a carefully structured fabric which meets the requirements of final custom-

A tenfold performance increase in preparation of filament warps is achieved in industrial operation. “Active control of warp and novations across all our product ranges,” states CREATIVITY: energy saved in spinning How to save energy? It’s a major headache for textile producers worldwide. Both the cost and actual availability of power is problematical, depending on the market area, and it is clear that creative thinking is needed to provide solutions that give practical help to the mills.

Rieter, one of the world leaders in textile yarn technology, has responded with an innovation that is physically small but with a potentially enormous impact on spinning costs. The suction tube ECOrized is an ingenious, yet simple invention. In ring spinning, suction tubes are only sporadically, to clear tangles and remove ends-down. With a single piece of creative thinking, Rieter specialists came up with a tube with a closed flap, which opens – and therefore consumes energy – only when an excess of material is presented by the drafting system, indicating a problem. Suction tube ECOrized is the name of this breakthrough product, and it means each spinning position needs 50% less energy, if conventional tubes are replaced with the ECOrized type. With an adjustable inverter control, the suction tubes ECOrized can be op-

Spun Yarn Systems: “ECOrized conversion can offer payback within a year, after which the full impact of the energy savings will kick in.”

SUCCESS: optimizing of quality data With sales totaling over half a million, Uster Technologies already has a proven market success with the latest USTER Quantum 3 yarn clearers, providing in-line fault detection and quality control in automatic winding after ring spinning. But the company was keen to extend the functionality of the yarn clearing process, as well as offering users a simple, quick and effective way to apply clearer data to achieve genuine quality and productivity benefits. Naturally, there was a

whole range of spinning mill decision-making.

USTER Quantum Expert 3 takes maximum advantage of the data generated by the USTER Quantum 3 clearers, turning the data into clear advice on essential quality and cost isBody’ concept – an instant view of any potential faults – and a focus on identifying single rogue bobbins, or outliers, help spinners to adjust yarn clearer settings to reach an optimum balance between fault removal and keeping machines running at a productive rate. USTER Quantum Expert 3 shows all this in an easy-

to-view format, with remote access when required. Feedback from spinners suggests that the partnership between clearers and expert system helps them produce exactly the right yarn quality their customers demand, without adversely impacting on the mill’s profitability.

SUCCESS: Chinese investment in novel finishing system Success in textile machinery today is often judged by a company’s impact in the Chinese market, the biggest potential customer in many processing branches. That is what makes Benninger’s work with Guangdong Esquel Co. especially significant. One of China’s – and the world’s – largest textile and clothing producers, Esquel has underlined Benninger’s credentials in open-width finishing of knitgoods by investing in a complete range. Dyeing and bleaching, as well as washing and mercerizing technology for knitwear are now installed at Esquel’s Gaoming

plant, making it the first Chinese customer to operate a total Benninger system for knits.

Benninger developed the Trikoflex technology in response to customer demands for significant savings in both water and steam consumption.

Specially-designed rollers, controlled fabric tension and novel washing compartments enable the system to process at maximum washing efficiency. These creative innovations have taken the finishing of knitted fabric in open-width format to a new level. The result is 50% lower energy use than with conventional exhaust processing equipment. Quality benefits are also reported, with improvements in dimensional stability, hairiness and fastness levels. “Sustainability and energy savings are very important to Esquel, so the choice of the Trikoflex washing range is ideal,” says Benninger CEO Gerhard Huber. Esquel uses the Trikoflex range for soaping after jet dyeing and washing after cold pad-batch processes, as well as for softening and finishing.

SUPPLY, DEMAND, & TRADE In the USDA’s latest monthly report, there were minor changes to global production and consumption figures. The world harvest estimate decreased only 60,000 bales, from 116.7 to 116.6 million. Country-level revisions were for the U.S. (-320,000 bales, to 12.8 million), Brazil (+100,000 bales, to 7.5 million), and Burkina Faso (+100,000 bale, to 1.2 million). The world consumption figure increased 240,000 bales, from 109.2 million to 109.5 million. Among the largest country-level changes to mill-use were those for India (-350,000 bales, to 23.0 million) With an assumption of additional import quota being released in China, the 2013/14 Chinese import forecast rose 1.0 million bales (to 12.0 bales, to 2.5 million) and Vietnam (+100,000 bales, to 3.0 million) also increased, while projections were lowered for India (-350,000 bales, to 750,000 bales) and Indonesia (-100,000 bales, to 2.7 million). Export forecasts for Australia (+700,000 bales, to 4.5 million), India (+500,000 bales, to 8.0 million), and Burkina Faso (+100,000 bales, to 1.2 million) were all revised

higher. No changes were made to the U.S. export figure, but the reduction in the U.S. crop estimate caused U.S. ending stocks to decrease 320,000 bales (to 2.5 million). At its current level, U.S. ending stocks are expected to reach their lowest level since 1990/91. Since the U.S. is the world’s largest exporter, tightness in U.S. supply could support prices until the 2014/15 harvest becomes available. Next month’s report features the USDA’s first complete set of estimates for the upcoming crop year and should provide an indication of how U.S. stocks, as well as stocks in other countries outside of China, could be re-built with the 2014/15 harvest. The extent that stocks in the U.S. and other countries increase should influence how low world prices may decrease next crop year.

PRICE OUTLOOK The Chinese government made a series of revisignificant were the changes declared for the way the government supports its cotton growers. It was announced that the system based on guaranteed prices enforced by reserve system purchases will be eliminated. Replacing

this system is a new program based on target prices. Under the new support structure, gins will report prices for the lint they sell in order to establish an average market price. When this market price is below the target, the government compensates growers for the difference.

An important element of the new system is it facilitates the flow of fiber from field to mill and allows for market prices below guaranteed level. The initial target price was set at 19,800 reserve-based system in 2012/13 and 2013/14.

However, since the subsidies are paid directly to producers, it has been reported that certain growers may enjoy higher incomes under the new system. Details specifying the geographic coverage of the new system have not been released, but it appears that subsidies will not be universal and will initially only be offered in Xinjiang province. If no support is offered to other growing regions, steep declines in acreage could be expected in those areas.

In addition to the reforms announced with respect to production, changes were also made to the auctions that sell cotton from reserves. The price for cotton sold was lowered

cents/lb at current exchange rates). In addition to the change in prices, incentives to move cotton from reserves were created. One of these is a ratio tying newly granted import quota to mill purchases from reserves, which allow one ton of sliding-scale quota to be issued for every four tons of reserves purchased.

With reserve prices above international rates, this ratio allows mills some opportunity to lower average costs while encouraging the movement of cotton out of government warehouses. By facilitating a more direct flow of cotton from Chinese growers to Chinese mills and by incentivizing purchases from reserves, recent reforms appear to emphasize increased use of domestically available supply. With more domestic cotton available, the question of how much less China might import in coming crop years is likely the most important demandrelated uncertainty for the global cotton market. From the supply-side, there are significant weather-related questions, particularly how the on-going drought in the southwestern U.S. may result in abandonment and yield loss. In combination, these two issues will affect the extent that stocks outside of China are re-built in the coming crop year, and therefore how far global cotton prices could decrease.
