According to the tracking and monitoring of the price of drinks from 20 major supermarkets in Hangzhou City, the price of beverage products in March increased by 1.3% again on the basis of a 1.1% rise in February in Hangzhou.

A part of Master Kang's instant noodle is expected to rise again in April. In this case, in half a year, the instant noodle giant, Kang Shifu, has gone on a three round price rise.

In the clothing and textile industry, the rise of price has never been interrupted.

According to the latest annual reports of a number of sports apparel enterprises, Nike, Lining, Anta, PEAK, 361 and other brand clothing also clearly indicated that clothing will rise this year, and the expected increase will be 10% to 20%.

A number of enterprises have said that the increase in prices is due to higher cost pressures on upstream raw materials, labor and pportation.

Ceng Xiwen, vice president of Unilever Greater China, recently explained to reporters that the upstream raw materials, petrochemical products, vegetable oils and inorganic chemical products increased by an average of about 40% in recent years, and directly increased the cost of daily chemical products by about 20%. Therefore, the terminal selling price of daily chemicals is higher.

Kangshifu company also said that because of the main raw materials such as flour, palm oil, sugar and PET prices continue to rise, pressure on the industry.

A number of clothing brands mentioned that the rising price of clothing raw material cotton has brought great pressure to the company.

The reasons for the rise in prices of food items such as food, beverages, daily chemicals and clothing are related to commodities such as cotton, sugar, palm oil, oil and so on.

On the evening of March 28th, at the annual meeting of the Guangdong Chemical Industry Association, Zheng Wuhong, director of the China Detergent Industry Association, pointed out that since the second half of 2010, the domestic and foreign commodity markets have been showing a bull market pattern, and the commodities such as crude oil, animal and vegetable oils and fats are showing a continuous upward trend, which will inevitably bring pressure on the production cost of washing products.

According to her introduction, the price of raw materials for washing products has increased by more than 40%, and the price of individual raw materials has increased by 100%.

She said that with regard to industry analysis, the average increase of raw materials for daily chemical products was over 50%, plus some other factors that would directly affect the increase in the cost of products by about 25%.

According to Man Rongrong, a senior analyst at the business association, under the double pressure of labor costs and raw material costs, the environment for survival and development of production enterprises is becoming more and more difficult.

Affecting commodity inflation and increasing inflation risk

Rising domestic and foreign commodity prices, especially the inflationary pressures caused by rising oil prices, are self-evident.

Reporters yesterday from the Ministry of Commerce commodity monitoring system to see, including sugar, cotton, wheat and other futures and spot prices are high.

Taking domestic futures as an example, the price of sugar in March 25th was 7236 yuan / ton, 4948 yuan / ton in March 26th last year, or 46%; cotton in March 25th was 30430 yuan / ton, March 26th March 25th was 16465 yuan / ton, or 85%; wheat March 25th price was 2560 yuan / ton, last year March 26th was 2193 yuan / ton, or 17%.

According to the global textile network analysis report, the early weather affected by extreme weather in some major grain producing areas of the world has further led to an imbalance in the supply and demand of global agricultural products, and the international food price has continued to rise. Recently, due to the geopolitical factors brought about by the political turmoil in Libya and other Middle East and North African countries, international oil prices and gold prices have risen sharply.

At the same time, with the international grain prices and oil prices and gold prices soaring, cotton and other commodity prices also followed.

The report also pointed out that although the recent international grain prices and oil prices and gold prices have a short decline, cotton prices will also be down.

But then, with the easing of monetary policy in Japan and the intensification of tensions in Libya, the prices of commodities such as crude oil and gold gradually recovered.

"It is likely that the prices of cotton and other commodities will continue to rise, and the risk of global inflation will also increase."

Commodity price pressure has been pmitted to the middle and downstream terminals. "PPI has a strong pmission effect to CPI, and future inflation pressure is obvious".

Many people are worried that the current price increases of many consumer goods will further push up CPI, and the consumer price index is expected to increase by more than 5% in March.

Zhang Xiang, chief strategist of national capital securities, analyzes that the fundamental factor is the gradual recovery of the global economy from abroad.

First of all, the emerging economies will continue to maintain a good growth, and the economies of developed countries are gradually moving towards a healthy recovery. The demand for commodities, including crude oil and non-ferrous metals, has risen substantially, making commodity prices facing upward pressure.

Zhang Xiang analysis "from the domestic factors, with the economic pformation, the price and pricing mechanism of raw materials will also be reform, including some elements cost, such as water, electricity, oil and gas are facing rising pressure.

In addition, the price adjustment targets in various places are generally based on rising housing prices as a control target.

This determines that the expectation of rising housing prices is still obvious, and the rise in house prices is a direct stimulus to inflation expectations.

Strategy development and Reform Commission: enterprises should strengthen their social responsibilities and not raise prices arbitrarily.

People's consumer goods have been rising recently, which directly affects people's life.

Jiang Lin, a professor at south of the Five Ridges College of Zhongshan University, believes that some people's livelihood products will rise in price, and that the price of consumption will be expected to rise. Some enterprises may rise again after this price increase, which will cause pressure on consumers.

At present, the domestic economy has slowed down. "This year, the central government has explicitly proposed to lower the rate of economic growth. The" 12th Five-Year plan "will set China's annual economic growth target at 7%, which indicates the slow development of the economy.

Under such circumstances, residents' incomes will not increase even if they do not decrease.

Coupled with the rise and increase of utilities such as water, electricity and coal, the pressure on Residents' lives has increased.

A few days ago, the national development and Reform Commission also said publicly that washing products and instant noodles are all necessities of life for the masses. Their price changes directly affect the lives of the masses, requiring all kinds of enterprises to strengthen their social responsibilities, not to raise their prices at random, and not to collude prices and drive up the prices of goods.

According to the newly revised regulations on administrative penalties for price violations, the company will impose a maximum fine of 5 million yuan if the company collude with the price increase.

It is reported that.

Last October, so far, the three masters of price increase, who were interviewed by the national development and Reform Commission (NDRC), said last night that the price rise plan for barreled faces was suspended in April 1st.

It is uncertain when the price adjustment plan will continue.

Some experts believe that under the background of the current rising prices of various kinds of people's livelihood, the government should reduce the burden of enterprises and increase production and supply through tax reduction and other methods. At the same time, it should create a good business environment, create more business opportunities and make the competition more active.
