Look At Orders And Dare Not Pick Up &Nbsp; Anqing Export Textile Enterprises Encounter Three Difficulties At The End Of The Year.

"The price of raw materials such as cotton has stabilized somewhat, and the renminbi has appreciated again." Anqing A textile Export enterprises The boss Hu Jun (pseudonym) frowned. He looked at several orders on his hand. Then, if the exchange rate wasn't counted, it would be a good job. If not, the order on hand is almost finished. If there is no order after the year, how can we keep the workers?

　 Front-line workers are seriously lacking.

"There are still more than half a month away from the new year. Now the workers are already missing a lot. They normally need three hundred people's production line. Only half of them are on duty now. There is no way to recruit people." Yesterday, Qianshan County Mao Mao Textile Technology Co., Ltd. responsible person He Wangyang said anxiously. "Now is not the most time for lack of people, because many orders are placed in the year after, after the Spring Festival, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places have come to us to grab people, then it was the most bitter." He Wangyang said.

Li Guanggen, the head of Feixi Tianlong down products Co., Ltd., told reporters that their production line needs 600 people and only 200 people. "More than half of them are missing, and the production line starts at 50%."

It is reported that in the textile enterprises of Qianshan County, the wages of a front-line worker are over 1500 yuan, but if they are specially skilled workers, there will be a lot of four thousand or five thousand yuan after overtime work.

"Such wage level is higher than other textile enterprises in the province." He Wangyang said that the wages of front-line workers are rising, so the pressure of labor costs is greater.

Li Guanggen said that in addition to the wage level, now 80, 90 young people do not want to work in the front line workshop, this view of employment is a major cause of labor shortage in manufacturing enterprises in Anhui province.

　 RMB appreciation has great influence.

"In 2010, the foreign trade situation was very good, the order was 30% more than that of last year, but it didn't make money. The price of cotton yarn doubled, the RMB appreciated by more than 3%, and the employees demanded wage increase." Hu Jun's words tell the voice of many foreign trade bosses.

Reporters learned from the Provincial Department of Commerce, in 2010, the total import and export value of the province was 24 billion 280 million US dollars, an increase of 54.8% over the same period last year. In terms of performance, growth is still very gratifying, but many bosses reckon at the end of the year.

"Think about it, for example, when we signed last June, the list was $20 for a dress, equivalent to 136 yuan. By the end of January this year, when the settlement was completed, 20 dollars could only be reduced to 131 yuan, and five or six yuan for a piece of clothing.

In order to cope with the appreciation, Hu Jun has begun to ask the company to adjust its way of operation. What they are using now is the "differential quotation" according to the delivery date, for example, the half yearly order is subdivided into four stalls: 45 days, 90 days, 120 days and 180 days, and the quotations for each file are different.

"Generally speaking, we will not accept orders for more than half a year unless we have absolute advantage in the quotation, or there is a special agreement between the two sides on the exchange rate." Li Guanggen said that the change of exchange rate makes domestic export enterprises face the embarrassment that they dare not answer.

　 Inflation expectations force business transformation

"In the past year, cotton has increased by about 50%. Our garment processing enterprises have never experienced such a big fluctuation. A lot of orders have not been started yet. We find that we have already lost money because of the price increase of raw materials." Li Guanggen said with emotion.

Down jacket is an important product of Li Guanggen enterprise. Last year, the rise of down price also made him a lot of pressure. "Raising prices is unavoidable, but sometimes the price is too high and customers do not accept it. Therefore, how to price the product has become a problem for our sales people."

Under multiple pressures, many small and medium-sized enterprises have fallen. He Wangyang told reporters that some of their local businesses in Qianshan had been closed in 2010 because of their poor management or market pressure, and this phenomenon may continue in 2011.

"We are now actively exploring the domestic market." Li Guanggen said that as a relatively mature textile exporters, the appreciation of the renminbi in 2007 has been the most vivid and intuitive lesson. Enterprises can not fall head and shoulders in one place, and the potential of the domestic market is being fully explored.

The secret of another textile enterprise is to enter the high-end market. "After all, the high-end market has more profit margins, and is less vulnerable to risk shocks such as raw materials and exchange rates." For most domestic export enterprises, this direction may be the way to go.
