Cotton Prices Rose &Nbsp; Sellers Said Temporarily Not To Clothing Pricing.

Affected by typhoons, the temperature difference between these two days gradually widened, and people felt the smell of autumn in advance.

And one about

Seller: it has little impact on retail sales for the time being.

"Cotton prices have little impact on clothing prices, basically the same as last year."

Reporters on 9, 2, came to several large shopping malls in Zhongshan Road, from the price point of view, autumn clothing prices seem to have risen.

"This has little to do with cotton. Although the price is high, there are many discount promotions, so it's pretty much the same."

A salesperson said that the increase in cotton prices is more related to production enterprises, such as fabric suppliers, but there is still a lag in the pmission to terminal retail.

She disclosed that in the current pricing mode of the shopping mall, the price of clothing still has certain profit space to be compressed, so the raw material will not be so obvious that the price will be directly reflected in the price tag, so consumers will not feel very obvious.

However, Taobao seller "samsam31" still felt the pressure of "cotton inflation".

"Last week, we found that the price of goods has gone up a lot, and we have raised 5 yuan - 10 yuan."

"Samsam31" said that a cotton shirt could be handed in 50 yuan in the first half, but last week it had already mentioned 60 yuan.

However, taking into account the psychological acceptability of buyers, "sam-sam31" decided to raise the price by only about 3 yuan, and the rest could only reduce their profits.

The price of standard cotton has risen all the way.

"At the beginning of last year, cotton prices were rising."

The manager of Wuxi walshin Textile Co., Ltd. told reporters that cotton prices have been rising since the end of last year, and the price surges have rapidly spread to the raw materials, processing, clothing and consumer terminals.

According to China's cotton price index, the price of standard cotton has risen from the average price of 12831 yuan / ton in 2009 to 18165 yuan / ton in July this year, and the market expects that the cotton price will further break through the 20 thousand yuan / ton mark.

It is understood that as the raw material of the textile industry, 95% of domestic cotton is used for spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and then processing into garments, etc., and has a wide chain of upstream and downstream industries.

Some foreign textile enterprises in Wuxi indicated that cotton prices continued to rise, but export prices did not improve significantly.

Textile enterprises: share the rising cost with customers

"Some of our products will be exported to foreign countries. If prices go too far, they will not be able to afford it.

So we usually communicate with customers and share part of the cost, and digest the price of a price.

As a middleman, they can only sacrifice some profits to ensure sales volume, Xu said.

It is understood that after the cotton was collected, the spinning mill first spun it into cotton yarn, and then woven it into cloth, dyeing and printing at the printing and dyeing mill, and finally selling it to a garment enterprise.

Each link will take three or four months, so price pmission will have a lag process.

"Like last year's feather cotton raw materials, the purchase price is 10 yuan / meter, this year has risen to 13 yuan / meter."

Xu said that cotton prices fluctuated every year, and prices rose more frequently in the 9 to December demand season.
