"Crazy Cotton" Affects Wenzhou Clothing Terminal

It is said that the "crazy cotton" will be staged in 2010. For Wenzhou garment processing factories and clothing brand enterprises, the cotton price increase directly leads to the most important raw material of clothing: cotton yarn and cloth price rise, and at present, the "rising price trend" has almost expanded to all raw materials and processing areas, even terminals of the textile industry.

"The price of cotton yarn is unstable, and there is always a need for both ups and downs, but at the moment, it seems that we can not see the end."

The owner of an underwear factory in Ruian said that because the profit margins of the products were not large enough, the prices of raw materials were unstable, and the prices of winter clothes were not legal at all, and even orders were not to be answered.

Since July 2009, the prices of cotton and cotton yarn have increased significantly. By the end of March this year, the 328 level of fine cotton rank increased by 3000 yuan per ton in the middle of July last year, and 137 yuan per ton of long staple cotton rose 7600 yuan.

In March this year, China's international textile fabrics and Accessories Expo held in Beijing, the discussion on the price trend of raw materials has become the core theme, and the exhibition of accessories has even dominated the CHIC clothing exhibition of the same period.

It has been revealed that the rise of cotton will eventually be reflected in downstream products. It usually takes 4 months -6 months, so that the impact on Wenzhou's clothing enterprises will break out in the second half of this year.

A clothing brand enterprise boss said that now is producing the autumn winter clothing, the cost rises so fiercely, the enterprise cannot carry on, must raise the price, estimated to raise 8% to 10%.

Zheng Chenai, President of the clothing trade association of Wenzhou, said that the price of raw materials has gone up this year, and the impact on clothing enterprises is very large. For some enterprises without core competitiveness and low added value themselves, it will be very dangerous.

Dong Shengwei, chairman of Chuang Tai Garments Co., Ltd., said that enterprises will be difficult to survive if they continue to win the price. They can only win the design, research and development, and product quality, increase the added value and strive for the right to raise the price.

Rui Anying Bolen knitted underwear factory is a professional manufacturer of children's underwear, and is a leading supplier of children's wear brand in the industry.

Zhou Qingfeng, chairman of the board of directors, said that because of the cooperation with the children's clothing brand for many years, there was already abundant stocking at the end of last year. The order of the brand was basically unaffected, while the orders of other non long term customers had to be raised.

Li Huaiye, the relevant person in charge of the Clothing Co., Ltd., also said that the company has long-term and stable customers. Basically, next year's orders have been foreseen and basically stocked.

Zhu Yali, general manager of Jinou Clothing Co., Ltd., a foreign trade enterprise, will attend the Guangzhou Fair at the end of this month. The cost pressure of raw materials has long been included in her quotation.
