The Cotton Price Is High, The Fabric Is Up &Nbsp; &Nbsp; The Small Clothing Enterprise Becomes The "Sandwich Cake".

"A previous set of 300 yuan.

Clothing factory price rose 1 to 20%

I do not know if I am wandering.

"The price of an ordinary coat in a shopping mall is thousands of times, which is equivalent to the salary of the ordinary people for one month. If you want to buy a decent outfit, the salary will not be instantaneous for half a year." Miss Hu, the public, said distressed, "only waiting for a discount will be sold again."

The rising charging costs of the citizens are inextricably linked to the high price of cotton.

On the website of the national cotton spot trading market, yesterday's China cotton price index (level 229) has reached 30536 yuan / ton, and the national cotton price (level 229) is 30329 yuan / ton.

In February last year, China's cotton price index averaged 14905 yuan / ton, up 33% yuan or 3691 yuan over the same period of the previous year.

The price of cotton has gone all the way, leading to a high fever for polyester materials. Data from China textile net show that as of yesterday, polyester staple fiber was 14900 yuan / ton, up 4.19% from the end of January, up 19% from December 31st last year.

Cloth prices rose rapidly across the board to the clothing sales link. Last year's annual reports of several garment listed companies in China showed that the clothing factory price was generally raised by 10% to 20%, due to the rising cost of raw materials and labor.

And the budget of clothing enterprises based on the production of underwear and infant clothing is that the price increase of cotton clothing is more than 30%.

Small garment enterprises become "sandwich cakes"

The night before last, Mr. Huang, the boss of a clothing enterprise in the province, could not attend to the romance of Valentine's day. After receiving the notice of the price increase, the manager called the manager back to the factory for a meeting.

"From February 15th onwards, cotton and polyester fabrics will increase by 2000 yuan to 2500 yuan per ton."

The young Huang boss put down his calculator and said helplessly, "within one year, the cost of T yuan, which was originally priced at 35 yuan, has increased by four or five yuan. I'm afraid it's hard for customers to accept it."

According to past experience, customers usually place their orders before the year, and after that, the clothing factories will increase their horsepower production.

But this year the situation is different. Quite a few customers are looking forward to a decline in cotton prices and thus wait and see. This is a dilemma for Mr. Huang.

Do you want the cloth to be prepared? It's not ready. I'm afraid it will be more expensive in the future.

"At that time, 60 thousand yuan and one ton of cloth may be sold at a price of 8000 yuan, and the loss will be even greater."

Mr Huang estimates that if this continues, sales of small garment factories will fall sharply this year, becoming the "shuffle year" of the garment production industry.

In order to avoid being shuffled, some garment factories even agreed with dealers to place the order first and offer the price again, so as to digest part of the cost pressure by squeezing profits.

Spring and summer clothing is expected to be 20% more expensive.

The textile industry also pointed out that every year from April to October is the growth period of cotton, and the cotton price will remain at a high level before the new cotton comes into season in autumn 2011.

In the market of high cotton prices, polyester staple has become the new favorite of the clothing industry. Even though the quotation has reached 15000 yuan per ton in some areas, the major textile enterprises are still stepping up their procurement.

"The production of cotton garments in general is less than half a year after cotton production. That is to say, the price increase of raw materials last year will mainly be reflected in this year's spring clothes and summer wear, which means that the price of spring clothes may be higher again this year."

The source said, "but because the price of clothing is already running at a high level, the estimated increase will not exceed 20% this year."
