Raw Material Rose Silk Clothing Collective Price Rise

　　絲綢服裝是夏季服裝里一種備受寵愛的產品。絲綢旗袍，絲綢短袖常常是夏季熱銷的產品。然而今年的真絲夏裝比去年貴了不少。

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.

The whole set of silk pajamas was originally priced at a high price, and the purchase price has increased by 30 yuan this year.

With the rise of wholesale prices, there is little room for profit in clothing stores.

Behind the rise of silk clothing is the surge in cocoon and silk prices.

Cocoons and silk prices soar

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.

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.

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.

In the face of soaring cocoon prices, many cocoon and silk processing enterprises are overwhelmed.

At present, the price of cocoons and silk is seriously upside down, and the pattern of silk industry in China is changing.

Silkworm cocoon prices are rising all the time. Silk reeling enterprises can raise silk prices and eliminate cost pressures. But since last year, silk clothing enterprises have not increased their demand for silk.

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.
