Cotton prices rose orders "set" prison clothing factory

Since last year, so far, the price of cotton has been rising to a higher level, especially in the past September, it has risen by 20%, making textiles upstream and downstream industries struggling to cope. Many operating households and factories in China Textile City were in a chaotic manner. Orders were not, and neither was it rejected. At the same time, the momentum of price increases in urban terminal textile consumer markets is just around the corner.

Keqiao fabric market price "changes every day"

"If we raise prices, we will lose money if we don't raise the price. One meter of rice will probably rise about 3 yuan from the beginning of September!" Fujian Sanhe Textile Co., Ltd. is a trousers supply company, and it is now with a number of well-known Chinese brand clothing companies. There is cooperation. Li Maosen, head of the company’s Zhejiang office, told the reporter that since the beginning of the year, the company’s products have been increasing prices, but the price increase in September was the largest, raising the price by 3 yuan and 1 meter at a time. %about. The original 13 yuan a metre of pants, now sells 18 yuan a meter.

Although the price of one meter per year increased by 40%, Li Maosen has lost interest in the business. “If cotton prices rise, we can only follow up, but the loss is high in this process.” Li Maosen said that his trousers have a 5% loss from yarns, grey cloths and finished products, and raw materials have a rising price. The loss of % means less profit.

Similarly, the employees of Shaoxing Yongjun Textile Co., Ltd. have recently become more and more busy. “The quotation is valid from the original month to the week. Now it is only two or three days. Sometimes it is quoted three times a day.” Shi Jianhai, the company’s general manager, told reporters that their products are now rising in price, only rising in September. About one-third is now twice the price at the beginning of the year. If a lining product only costs 4 yuan at the beginning of the year, it will now be 8 yuan. He said that he can only communicate with customers, especially foreign customers, and tell them the current market conditions in China. "If the quotation expires and the other party orders again, we do not agree and we must re-quote."

There are also textile companies operating in the price increase at the same time, with some of the yarn to replace the yarn. The North Market Min-Jebu Line mainly deals in all kinds of cotton stretch corduroy, velveteen and other products. Chen Yingxue, the person in charge of the cloth, told reporters that their products also rose about RMB 4 or 5 per meter. Some customers could not accept such prices and had to instead purchase gas spinning yarns instead of ring spinning. The pressure was a bit lighter. She said that it is fortunate that business can now be guaranteed without losing money.

Foreign trade clothing companies are being dragged into the water by cotton prices

The production cycle of fabrics is relatively short, and there is room for cloth merchants in China Textile City to raise prices. However, the substantial price increase of fabrics has made the clothing enterprises in Shaoxing sad.

“Foreign trade orders are handled according to contracts, and the price of fabrics is so powerful that we are now doing our share of losses.” Hangyue Garment Factory, located in Xialing Town, Shaoxing County, mainly produces T/R cotton garments. The products are mainly exported and exported. Xu Guomin, general manager of the company, was afraid to laugh at this round of cotton prices.

Xu Citizen told reporters that foreign trade garments generally require a two-month production cycle, and their factory orders are now the next two months ago, just in time for the wave of cotton gains in September. In two months, the price of fabrics for each piece of clothing rose by an average of 1.5 to 2 yuan. He said that the factory’s foreign orders for about 400,000 pieces of clothing can only be realized. The efforts made this year have basically been dispelled.

The Rainbow Village Garment Factory in the Binhai Industrial Zone is also very difficult these days. The relevant person in charge of the plant, Wang Xinggen, told reporters that the increase in cotton prices has a great impact on them. Although the fabrics used by the factory are all produced by the group itself, the clothes that the company is currently making can only be preserved. Wang Xingen said that if the company continues to receive orders, it depends on the market conditions. If customers do not agree with the price increase, the garment factory can only stop work.

Terminal cotton products prices or just in front

The price increase of cotton has caused the downstream of the textile industry to suffer. The consumer goods market is also quietly raising prices.

Reporters visited the market and found that underwear, T-shirts and home textile products have been gradually increased prices. The price of quilts in the Xinjiang Cotton Home Textiles Sales Store in the "Orffl" heart plaza in Keqiao, Lanzhou was noticeably higher. Such as a set of 6 pounds of Xinjiang quilts, as long as the previous 200 yuan a bed, now added about 30 yuan.

Mr. Wu, an owner of an underwear store on the Jiefang Road in the downtown area, told reporters that he had just purchased a group of children's underwear from the wholesaler some time ago, and the purchase price had risen by about 5 yuan each. He worried that in a few days, adult underwear's purchase price increase will be even greater.

Compared with low-end textile consumer goods such as underwear and towels, the retail price of high-end branded apparel has not changed, but the store's purchase price has increased. Mr. Wang, a brand clothing store owner in the urban area, told reporters that the purchase price of his old branded clothes has been higher than before. The price of each item has increased by 20 to 30 yuan, but the retail price still remains unchanged. However, he expects that the ex-factory price of new clothes will rise according to the recalculated cost increase at the beginning of next year, and then the terminal retail price will have to follow the price increase.
