The first 20 years of 21 century provide a promising period of important strategic opportunities to China's silk industry. The whole industry will realize steady growth on basis of optimizing structure, improving efficiency and lowering consumption.
Presently, silk price level is too low, but this will not last long in domestic market. With the gradual warm-up of export and domestic markets, newly increased silk materials will be consumed by large amount of silk goods; cocoon and silk supply and demand will be able to achieve a basic balance. Raw silk price should rise to a reasonable level at 200,000 yuan per ton.
With modern scientific and technological progress, it would not be too long to realize the desire of detecting raw silk quality by modern electronic detection technology. With the introduction of electronic testing standards for raw silk, the status of China silk industry in international silk industry will be advanced. The development of China's cocoon and silk industry will be promising.
2008 is approaching, Beijing Olympic Games is a golden opportunity for China's silk industry to demonstrate its image to the world, and meanwhile it will be also a good opportunity to expand sales in domestic market. Cocoon and silk industry must make good use of this opportunity, change approaches to development, and promote China's cocoon and silk industry onto the track of a better and faster development.
