China's Clothing Exports &Nbsp; Scraps Of Profit.

Although the timing gradually entered the summer, but now is the textile industry in autumn and winter clothing orders, exports are in full swing.

However, due to soaring prices of raw materials such as labor and cotton, the price of Chinese clothing export industry has been rising this year. Some enterprises have cut profits directly, and a feather coat has only earned 1 dollars in profit.

Luo Weiming, chairman of Shanghai Dragon Textile Co., Ltd., who has been engaged in garment export for six years, said that small and medium-sized textile and garment enterprises in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang had not received orders after the Spring Festival. If export prices are still not rising, it is estimated that in August this year, about 20% of the small and medium-sized clothing trade enterprises in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be faced with a crisis of closure.

According to the statistics of China's Ministry of Commerce, the average profit margin of Chinese export enterprises in 2010 was 1.47%, which dropped to 1.44% from 1 to February this year.

Luo Weiming pointed out that a woman's leisure in the autumn and winter of about 140 yuan. Down jacket The cost of fabric, such as cotton and artificial wool, now needs RMB 50 yuan (about NT $221), while LiNbO costs RMB 20 yuan (about NT $88.7), as well as accessories, zippers, buttons and sewing fees.

Luo Weiming said that the cost has increased greatly from 2009 to now, and cotton prices have risen sharply, driving fabric prices up to 30% to 40%. In terms of sewing fees, the sewing cost of processing a down coat in 2009 is about 30 yuan, which is now rising to 45 yuan due to the rise in wages.

"We raised the price of the down jacket to $22," the foreigner said, "no, only $21. At this price, we export only one dollar for a down coat." Luo Weiming said that three years ago, the export profits of a down jacket were between two and three dollars, and the profit fell sharply because of the rapid rise in costs, such as duck down, which used to be up to 300 yuan per kilogram as long as RMB eight yuan, but export prices were hard to raise.

Luo Weiming's anguish is not the only one. He said that once the price is raised, prices will not be accepted. Foreign businessman The order is transferred to countries such as Vietnam and Bangladesh, which are lower than those in mainland China, and the pressure of final cost increase is mainly borne by themselves.

In addition, labor costs in Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces continue to rise. Luo Weiming said that now the wages of every paid worker have been up to RMB 3000 yuan a month. Many small and medium-sized export enterprises are simply unable to bear the load. His company has decided to set up factories in Anhui. The local wages are about 1800 yuan per month, lower than those in the coastal areas.
