Cashmere is a vital aspect of China's high-grade wool textiles， and is a major foreign exchange-earning export item. It is also an important source of income for herdsman in the primary production areas of cashmere. Since 1985， the management of cashmere has been gradually relaxed， which has produced positive effects in invigorating the economy in production areas and in increasing the incomes of herdsmen. However， some new problems have appeared in the production and marketing of cashmere， such as too many channels of management， a superfluous working ability， blind competition， drastic price fluctuations， and fluctuating product quality. In order to form a better circulation sequence， ensure the unique superiority of Chinese cashmere in the international market， and to promote the stable， sustained and coordinated development of cashmere production， the State Council has ratified the following notice concerning consolidating control on the production and marketing of cashmere：

1. Rectifying the circulation channels， straightening out relations between production and marketing， controlling processing ability， and standardizing operational actions.

（1） Enterprises which engage in purchasing， processing， producing， and exporting cashmere shall be required to abide by the following basic requirements：

a. Possession of a regular organ of management， site， storage facilities， fairly high technical level， and quite advanced equipment； possession of relatively regular purchasing and marketing channels and a business license covering the purchasing， processing， producing， and exporting of cashmere， with said license authorized by an industrial and commercial bureau.

b. An enterprise engaging in purchasing cashmere shall set up a permanent agency in the primary production area of cashmere； it shall also have a relatively regular purchasing network， and quality-control personnel and equipment which has been certified by a fabric inspection institution. For preliminary processing of cashmere， the enterprise shall have cashmere combing machines qualified by a fabric inspection institution.

（2） The people's governments of the primary production provinces and autonomous regions of cashmere shall appoint a leading department which， in conjunction with other departments， shall inventory and reorganize existing enterprises engaging in purchasing， processing， producing， and exporting cashmere， and reconfirm their operational qualifications. The industrial and commercial administrative departments shall re-register enterprises dealing in cashmere， and resolutely bar the operation of businesses and units without licenses or that do not meet requirements for dealing in cashmere. Illegal dealers shall be severely cracked down upon according to relevant laws and regulations.

（3） The main channels of purchasing， processing， producing and exporting cashmere are： qualified members of the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives system， enterprises dealing in cashmere under the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade， and big- or medium-sized backbone enterprises dealing in finished cashmere products. The purchase of cashmere shall rely mainly on the supply and marketing cooperatives at all levels in the primary production areas of cashmere. Raw cashmere material and the purchasing， processing， producing and exporting of finished cashmere products shall rely mainly on big- or medium-sized enterprises under the system of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade and China National Textile Council. Purchasing cashmere in the primary production areas of cashmere must be carried out through local cashmere enterprises that possess business qualifications.

（4） The State Planning Commission at all levels shall strictly control the working ability of cashmere processing. It shall not examine or approve new， repetitious processing projects with low technical levels or which do not meet the requirements of readjusting the industrial make-up， or which do not have obvious industrial superiority. New， internal cashmere processing enterprises shall be examined strictly on the principles of increasing value， earning foreign exchange， and possession of a high technological level. The State Planning Commission shall not， based on the present internal situation of producing and marketing cashmere， examine or approve foreign-invested cashmere processing enterprises， and shall resolutely destroy backwards and obsolete cashmere combing machines.
