The Price Of Silk Keeps Rising &Nbsp; Silk Clothing Is Just Like A Tiger.

Silk clothing is summer.

The price of silk clothing rose in the first half of this year to 15%-20%.

The owner of a silk shop said: a year's style of silk trousers, the same manufacturer, the same brand, the same weavers, this year's price increase of 15 yuan.

The boss has been making silk garments for more than 20 years. For the first time this year, he experienced such a large increase in silk prices.

And the whole silk set.

Cocoons and

The raw material of real silk -- dry cocoon price is rising crazily.

According to data from China's cocoon and silk trading market, cocoon price has doubled since the beginning of 2009 and has risen to 92 thousand and 700 yuan per ton in mid April.

The price of raw silk in international trade also showed a similar trend.

Driven by the rising cost of dry cocoons, the price of raw silk in the market has surged forward, rising from 140 thousand yuan per ton during the financial crisis to about 200000 yuan since the beginning of this year.

In the past two months, the price of raw silk has skyrocketed to 290 thousand yuan.

Garment factory adjusts fabric structure

Silk clothing manufacturers timely adjusted the procurement strategy of clothing materials.

Because of the instability of silk prices, most international buyers have reduced their purchases of silk fabrics.

Apart from the high-end clothing brands that are not sensitive to the price of raw materials, most of the mid-range brands prefer to interweave silk, cotton and linen.

Since last year, the application of pure silk fabrics in clothing has been declining.

The silk reeling factory is the most difficult.

Silk factories and retailers can rely on the corresponding rise in prices to maintain the situation, but the silk reeling plant as an intermediate link has the highest risk in the whole production chain.

Facing soaring

Tracing the source: cocoon price increases are intriguing.

According to the insiders, the causes of drought and drought in Sichuan and Jiangxi are the reasons behind them.

However, some people in the industry also analyzed that the severe drought in Southwest China, which lasted for 8 months, had a certain effect on the price of spring cocoons. However, because the main producing areas in Guangxi were less affected and the output of silkworm cocoons in Yunnan was relatively small, the overall production of silkworm eggs in China was not affected by drought.

Gradually reduced mulberry area and cocoon production may be the main reason for the rising price of raw silk materials.

In the final analysis, there are fewer people in sericulture.

According to the statistics of the National Cocoon Silk office, in 2009, the national mulberry garden area was 11 million 974 thousand mu, down 8.5% compared to the same period last year. The output of cocoons was 574 thousand tons, down 17.8% compared with that of the same period last year, and the average purchasing price of cocoons was 1081.76 yuan / weight, up 30.15% over the same period last year.

With the decrease of cocoon production, the income of silkworm farmers increased by 1 billion 251 million yuan compared with that of 2008, and sericultural production showed the characteristics of reducing production and increasing income all year round.

Others believe that capital speculation has led to a surge in the price of silk and pepper and garlic.

Some experts say that the price increase is not affected by drought.

This spring, the first batch of spring silkworms was of better quality and a large number of factories seized goods.

Price increases, labor costs rise, all kinds of factors together, resulting in the current price is high, but still basically become reasonable.
