　　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 marketing¹ of cashmere， such as too many channels of management， a superfluous² working ability， blind competition， drastic price fluctuations³， 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 coordinated⁵ development of cashmere production， the State Council has ratified⁶ the following notice concerning consolidating⁷ control on the production and marketing of cashmere：

　　1. Rectifying⁸ the circulation channels， straightening out relations between production and marketing， controlling processing ability， and standardizing⁹ operational actions.

　　（1） Enterprises which engage in purchasing， processing， producing， and exporting cashmere shall be required to abide¹⁰ 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 relatively¹¹ regular purchasing and marketing channels and a business license¹² covering the purchasing， processing， producing， and exporting of cashmere， with said license authorized¹³ 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 certified¹⁴ by a fabric¹⁵ inspection¹⁶ institution.

　　（3） The main channels of purchasing， processing， producing and exporting cashmere are： qualified members of the All-China Federation²⁹ of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives system， enterprises dealing in cashmere under the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade， and big- or medium-sized backbone³⁰ 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.
