Rising Costs, Recruitment Difficulties, Textile And Garment Export Companies Have Raised Prices By 20%

The twenty-first China East China opening in March 1st

The Morning Post reporter learned yesterday at the China Fair that most of the exhibitors were affected by the rising cost of raw materials and manpower.

Export prices generally rose 20%

Fengyuan Home Textile Co., Ltd. is an export company which mainly produces quilted products and bedding.

The export price of an ordinary pet bed is about 30 yuan, which is 10% to 20% higher than last year.

Huang said that the main reason for the rise in prices was the increase in raw material prices.

According to him, the price of polyester has increased by 20% to 30% in the past year, and the price of cotton cloth has increased by 100%. Under such circumstances, the export price of products has to rise.

Huang is not worried that the price increase will lead to the loss of orders: "not only is the price of our products increased, so do other companies.

The price increase of plant fiber is global and old customers can only accept this reality. "

Huang said that the number of orders this year is not much different from that of last year.

Anhui China Import and export Limited by Share Ltd is also suffering from rising costs.

According to the Zhao surname man, who is responsible for the export of solid wood storage cabinets, said, "last year, the cost of raw materials and labor increased by 20% to 30%, and the export price of the company's products was forced to rise by 10% to 15%."

According to reports, the company's products are mainly exported to Japan, a small three storey solid wood storage cabinet price of 20 U.S. dollars, this price rose 15% last year, or less than the price of raw materials.

"There is no way to get too high for customers to accept, but if it does not go up, the company will not be able to bear it."

The responsible person said.

With the "boom" of household products, the difficulty of exporting garments and other traditional products is increasing.

Mou Mou, a representative office in Qingdao, Italy, has always been looking for the right co operative manufacturers at the China Fair. However, it has not been able to find a Chinese manufacturer for the whole morning. "I feel that this year's exhibitors are obviously much less than last year, and the 30% increase in their quotations is very difficult for our company to accept, so we have been looking at the 10% to 15% increase in the scope of the company to accept it."

Chen Xiangdong, manager of Xiamen Welfare Trade Co. Ltd., admitted that no order has yet been received.

According to reports, welfare Deng mainly manages needles textiles, general merchandise and other common household products.

"Old customers feel that our 15% increase is difficult to accept, but also wait-and-see attitude."

For the next step in the development of the company, Chen said he might consider pforming into domestic sales. "However, there are too many similar products in China and the price is low, which may not be very good."

Luo Hong, a clothing exhibition area of Jiangsu Hui Hong International Group, does not deny that the company's orders this year have been cut by half: "most of them are on the sidelines. Some old customers say they want to lower their prices and discuss cooperation."

"Partial order outflow"

Cost increase is not the most difficult headache for foreign trade enterprises.

Chao men, a Sino man import and export company, said their most troublesome problem is "no workers can be recruited".

Zhao said the wood storage cabinet was mainly exported to Japan, and last year's exports amounted to about $4. 5 million.

Although the price has risen this year, the demand for orders has not changed much. But because the workers are not enough, the company is afraid to take too many orders at the moment, and is afraid that the production will not come out.

"We pay about two thousand or three thousand yuan a month for workers in Anhui, which is not very low, but it's still the standard."

According to him, the company's total production line probably needs two hundred or three hundred workers, but now the labor gap has reached 1/3.

"Recruitment difficulty" also plagued Shanghai Changyuan Gift Co., Ltd.

The company's main business is to produce slippers, cloth bags and other gifts.

According to Wei Wei, chairman of the company, all production lines in the factory need about two hundred or three hundred workers, but now the number of workers is only 80, and the number of workers is seriously insufficient.

"The monthly wages we pay to workers now are about 2400-2500 yuan, up 15% from last year, but even so, workers are still hard to recruit."

Wei said that he could only distribute orders to other smaller factories after receiving orders, but this affected the profits of the company.

Wei analysis, the reason why this year is difficult to recruit workers is particularly prominent because some migrant workers have accumulated experience and started their own business, opening 8-9 small factories and starting their own businesses.

"Now the traditional export industry is becoming more and more difficult."

Wei feels that he is feeling that the Customs has raised the rate of opening and checking the products, and the procedures are more complicated than before.

According to his news from customers, many orders are being pferred to India, Vietnam and Bangladesh.

Because of the relatively low manpower cost in these countries, some of his friends in the country have also gone to set up factories.

Huang Yuan of home textile of Fengyuan said that the innovation and upgrading of foreign trade products is the way out for domestic foreign trade enterprises.

The Shenzhen Hongli yuan watch and clock industry Co., Ltd., which first participated in the China Fair, has developed a photographic watch and video recording waterproof watch, which is popular because of its novelty.

"The export price of this watch is about 220-260 yuan per unit."

Li Dechang, the Hongli watch company, said that on the first day of the China Fair, the company received 3000 orders from US buyers. Although the labor cost rose by 15% to 20% compared with last year, the main raw materials and steel prices of watches increased by 5% to 8%, but he expected that the company's orders would increase by 30% this year.

Learned from the Organizing Committee of the China trade fair, more than 20 thousand new products, new styles and new technology and new technology have been sold in this fair. These four new products have become the core competitiveness of Chinese enterprises to enter the international market.
