Cotton prices are pushing hands

A clothing company Sun told reporters, because domestic cotton prices rose 50% in half a year, the cost pressure from the upstream has been gradually pmitted to the consumer terminal, forced by the cost of purchase pressure, many clothing dealers have been brewing to raise the retail price.

It is reported that as early as last autumn, cotton prices began to rise gradually, as of early July this year, cotton prices have risen 30%, the highest point in 10 years.

Mr. Sun said.

Downstream customers are most tested.

According to the insiders, the export garment processing plant usually takes about 3 months from the order to the delivery time. Nowadays, the samples of the orders are still on the way, and the quotation has been repeated several times. Nevertheless, it is still not up to the price range of raw materials.

The latest research report of China Cotton Association shows that the continuous high price of raw material of cotton yarns reduces the profit of downstream garment enterprises, and many weaving enterprises choose to stop working and leave, while garment enterprises are more cautious when receiving orders.

Wang, manager of a clothing company in Jinjiang, said that the cotton and other raw materials were a substantial increase in prices. The price of raw materials and the wages of employees increased.

"The price of raw materials of cotton textile industry is rising, and downstream enterprises need to make the most direct response."
