So, the rise in clothing prices is really

It is understood that in 2010, the annual cotton planting area in our city was 1 million 623 thousand mu, with a total output of 137 thousand and 600 tons.

Although the cotton planting area has reached over 168 Mu this year, the weather is not suitable for cotton planting and harvesting season, resulting in low yield.

When the reporter asked whether the purchase price of cotton rose this year, Han Changyou replied, "this year's fall is terrible!" he said that last year, the purchase price of seed cotton reached 14.6 yuan / kg at the highest price, the average price was about 11.2 yuan / kg, and this year's purchase price is not as good as last year. The highest purchase price of seed cotton can only reach 8.6 yuan / kg, and the average price is about 8.4 yuan / kg.

According to the average price, the purchase price of cotton this year dropped by 25% compared with last year.

"Farmers are not making money this year, most of them are in a state of capital preservation."

Han Changyou said this year's cotton prices are in a downward trend, and it is unreasonable to attribute the rise in clothing prices to cotton.

According to the statistics of the Jingzhou investigation team of the National Bureau of statistics, the price of cotton fell significantly from March to May this year. Cotton textile enterprises purchased raw materials of cotton, and the combined price dropped from 31300 yuan per ton to 26000 yuan per ton, a drop of 17%.

In addition, according to the Jingzhou agricultural information website, in mid September, the price of lint is 21622 yuan / ton. The price of cotton this year can be described as a bump all the way. Why does the price of clothing not go up and down?

At present, most of the cotton used by textile enterprises is bought high priced cotton in the first half of the year.

Mr. Hu, a responsible person of a textile enterprise in Jianli, said that cotton prices rose last year, and many cotton textile enterprises hoarded a lot of cotton, when cotton prices were around 30000 yuan per ton.

Even now buying cheap cotton, the price of ready-made clothes will rise.

Mr. Lin, a garment factory in Honghu, said, "labor costs have been rising this year and recruitment is hard. In order to retain workers, we have made several wages."

He said that the production cost of clothing can only rise or fall, and the cost of autumn garments produced by our factory has increased by about 10% compared with last year.

In addition, various shopping malls have become another driver of the rise in clothing prices.

Mr. Lu, an analyst in the industry, said that the cost of cotton made of yarn, yarn and cloth was higher than that of garments.

He said that clothing from garment factories to consumers, experienced a multi-level increase in prices of shopping malls and agents, and a better clothing brand wanted to enter the shopping malls, and most of the shopping malls carried out joint tax deduction.

"When the festival sells promotional activities, the mall will also charge some fees to the agents."

Mr. Lu said, for example, site layout fees, etc., in addition, brand advertising fees, booth rent and other expenses superimposed, resulting in the rise of clothing retail terminal price.
