Jingzhou: Cotton Prices Soared &Nbsp, Clothing Manufacturers Are Very Careful.

From Huang Yuan village to north, we went to the cen River textile industrial park.

However, on the day of the reporter's interview, this piece of Hubei textile and textile industry seemed too calm.

Large and small needles and textile factories are in rows, but there are few cars in front of them.

Looking at the gates of the one or two factories, there are not many workers who are working.

Although it has been reported that the price of cotton purchasing is falling, it is obvious that the textile and garment factories have not breathed.

"Affected by cotton prices, the output of Jingzhou's needle and textile industry has decreased by 1/3."

Zhu Bifu, director of Xintai garment factory, briefed reporters on the market in this period of time, while letting reporters into the factory.

The workshop is quiet.

20 of the workers were sewing children's T-shirts beside the sewing machine. On the other side, some older workers packed the autumn clothes well without delay.

Zhu Bifu said, now, many single dare not answer.

The price of raw materials such as cotton and cotton yarn has increased by 150%. compared with the same period last year. Although Jingzhou has a cotton producing area, the price is basically the same as that in other parts of the country.

If the manufacturer wants to cross the province to buy cotton yarn, it has to increase the freight cost.

One ton of cotton yarn can make 2000 pieces of clothing, a ton of thousands of dollars, a dress will rise several yuan.

However, the textile and garment factories in the vicinity of the cen River usually produce low-end clothing products.

The garment factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have high added value.

Zhu Bifu said, this is why the clothes sold in the stores are more expensive.

Zhu Bifu believes that the rise in cotton prices and speculators have a certain relationship.

"From the perspective of market discipline, cotton can not be so hot.

Cotton yarn has risen to 28000 yuan per ton since September.

The price of cotton yarn is still rising in October.

On one occasion, it rose 3000 yuan in one night.

The colored yarns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces run with oil prices, which can rise by 2000 yuan a night.

Zhu Bifu said that when the order was made with the other party, it was the prevailing market price, and when it was produced, the price rose.

As a result, the processing plant is under great pressure.

In addition, the increase in labor costs is also a factor.

Zhu Bifu told reporters, now, cotton yarn workers are less, cotton yarn production can not go.

Many times, the owners of cotton mills need to hire workers with high wages. Even so, many factories still can't keep people.

It is understood that, by the impact of cotton prices, some of the cen River knitting clothing factory temporarily suspend production.

Zhu Bifu said that although there are many domestic and foreign countries, the state has also regulated cotton prices, but he still dare not take orders.

First, the price of cotton will fluctuate again. Two, cotton is still in high price in the current circulation. It will take a while to digest the goods.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Bifu's factory produces hundreds of thousands of garments a year.

A set of ordinary autumn clothing factory price is 20 yuan.

The number of workers employed is about 60.

Faced with the current situation, Zhu Bifu is very cautious.

"I didn't recruit too many workers this year.

Some of them were 5 months ago.

Zhu Bifu said, generally speaking, if he wants to pick up a new order, he will talk to the other side according to the current market price and his estimated price.

In production management, he will also improve and reduce unnecessary expenses.

Now, the production of the textile and garment industry of Cen river has basically entered the end of a year.

Although this year's factory is not busy last year, Zhu Bifu is still full of hope for the future.
