Looking at the major shopping malls, the price of cotton clothes has risen from hundreds of dollars to thousands of yuan.

Cotton price "dive" barrier cotton padded price rise

Since last year, the sharp rise and fall of cotton prices has become the focus of attention.

Now, at the peak of the new cotton market, affected by the continuous decline of the domestic cotton spot market paction price, in the main cotton producing areas such as Yuncheng and Linfen, Shanxi, the purchase price of seed cotton market has been declining.

According to China cotton trading network information, in November 1st, the purchase price of Linfen grade 4 seed cotton was 6.8 yuan / kg, which is close to the low level in 2010.

The downturn in the cotton market is hard to pin down the price rise of the downstream winter clothing.

In fact, the fluctuation of cotton prices will only affect the cost of making costumes, and there is a big gap between the cost price and terminal price.

70% where does the price difference come from?

So, what links to absorb the difference between the 70%?

A clothing wholesaler told the author, "now the ingredients of clothing cotton are not many, and more garments are made of nylon, spandex, hemp, various fibers and other materials. Nowadays, prices are soaring, the cost of intermediate links in production of clothing is rising, wages of workers are going up, the cost of packaging is going up, and freight rates are going up, so it is inevitable that the sale price of terminals will rise.

Even if it is also useful for cotton clothing, the drop in cotton prices will affect a little, but it is not enough to reverse the overall situation of rising prices.

The wholesalers also said, "we belong to a wholesale shop, and the price of clothing is low, but the price of the store will be doubled. After all, they have store fees, employment fees, freight charges, and so on. They also need to make money. The difference between them is inevitable."

A person in charge of Taiyuan white pigeon garment limited liability company said, "now the textile companies are not using newly acquired cotton, most of which were acquired last year when cotton rose, so a lot of cotton was hoarded.

The cotton material that our company uses now is the stockpiling of the cotton price when the cotton price rose last year, so now the cotton price has dropped, and it is also difficult to quickly reflect the product of the company, let alone the terminal market.

In addition, the responsible person also said that their stockpile is running out. If cotton prices continue to be callback, they will reduce their costs. Other clothing factories should be similar to their counterparts. Therefore, the impact of the fall in cotton prices may be reflected in the clothing market next spring.
