Labor costs and other factors to increase clothing prices

Cotton prices have been falling and the price of winter clothes has been rising. On the 15 day, the reporters interviewed several garment manufacturers, and they all said that although the price of cotton fell, but because of the increase in labor costs and raw material prices, coupled with the cost of the intermediate circulation of clothing production, the price of clothing had not risen.

Mr. Liu said that the price of cotton has dropped this year, but the price of clothing has not declined because of the increase in labor costs. Mr. Liu said that the price of cotton clothing has been decreasing this year.

Zhang Yu, manager of Ji'nan Yu Chen professional clothing, also said that the workers in the factory were paid by the piece. Last year, a worker made a dress of 15 yuan, and now it has risen to 20 yuan. The monthly salary has risen from about 1000 yuan to 1300 yuan. Zhang said that clothing fabrics also rose, rising by 15% to 20%.

In addition to the rising cost of raw materials such as labor costs and clothing and materials, the increase in the cost of circulation has also become a cause of the rise in clothing prices. Ji'nan Hao Ran clothing company Chen said, the company mainly customized tooling, from the original cotton and other raw materials through the textile mill processing for cloth, and then through the garment factory processing, after the factory through a number of intermediate circulation link, stationed in shopping malls, and finally arrived in the hands of consumers. "Every link in this process costs a certain amount of money, so that the price of clothes purchased by consumers is increased."

This year, because of the decline in cotton prices, many small textile mills could not survive and stop production. Large textile factories formed monopoly on the industry, leading to higher fabric prices, which also contributed to the rise and fall of clothing prices. The head of several garment companies also said that the cotton price will drop from the fall to the textile enterprises, and it will take some time. Some textile enterprises are buying high priced cotton last year or the first half of this year, which also makes the price of winter clothes hard to fall.
