According to the provincial Commission, the speculation of the hot money last year caused cotton prices to soar. This year, the entire textile industry is still faced with problems such as rising prices of cotton and other major raw materials, shortage of labor force and rapid increase in labor costs.

Skyrocketing speculation caused by soaring capital prices

According to the relevant people of the provincial Commission, the price of cotton rose sharply from mid September last year, and cotton prices soared to 31 thousand and 300 yuan / ton in early November. In less than two months, the price of cotton rose by 13 thousand and 300 yuan / ton, or 72.4%.

With the adjustment of relevant national policies, cotton prices dropped nearly 5000 yuan to 26 thousand and 200 yuan / ton in less than half a month.

Over the past two months, the huge fluctuation of cotton prices has been interpreted, which has brought great difficulties to the production and operation of enterprises.

It is understood that cotton prices will continue to run high and stabilize gradually this year.

The reporter learned from the provincial commission that the main business income of the textile industry in 2010 reached 131 billion 150 million yuan, the first time to exceed 100 billion yuan, ranking seventh in the country, an increase of 45.5% over the same period last year.

On the other hand, the output of the main products was 564 million, up nearly 40% from the same period last year.

According to the relevant provincial committee members, the textile industry will achieve 160 billion yuan in the main business this year, an increase of 22% over the same period last year.

In addition, the textile industry is also faced with problems such as rising labor costs and increasing difficulty in recruitment.

It is reported that last year, most of the textile enterprises in the province increased wages by 15% compared with the same period last year, and some enterprises even increased by more than 20%.

In addition to raising wages, some enterprises also improve their working and living environment from room and board, shortening labor hours, and so on, to a certain extent, increasing the cost of enterprises.

According to the analysis of the industry, the labor intensity of the textile industry is high, the wage level is not high, and overtime is much. It is not only difficult to recruit workers, but also harder to retain workers, forcing enterprises to continuously raise wages. This will become a prominent problem that puzzles the production and development of textile and garment enterprises.

It is understood that our province's textile industry's key enterprises are developing rapidly.
