Domestic Raw Silk Prices Continue To Rise, Silk Costs Rise, Companies Are In A Dilemma.

Since last year, due to fluctuations in raw material prices, labor force increases, product inventory increase and other factors, many Shandong.

Facing the challenge of centralized cost.

At the same time, because export difficulties are difficult to improve in a short time, these export oriented cocoon and silk enterprises have to pick up their own brands which were once less concerned.

Industry has shifted to domestic development.

However, the reality is that just as these enterprises turn around and look back at the domestic market, the chance of price war will be slim because of the high cost.

As winter approaches, it is customary to keep soft and warm silk in the bed for sale in the year.

Recently, reporters visited the provincial home textile market and found that silk market was embarrassed with high cost and low sales volume.

In a shopping mall sales area of a shopping mall in Quancheng Road, the reporter saw that more than 10 brands of silk were marked from several hundred yuan to nearly 10000 yuan.

Take the products containing 100% mulberry silk as an example, the price is above two thousand yuan.

In a brand home textile store of Cultural West Road, the weight of 4 kg or so is double autumn and winter.

The price is 5000 yuan.

During the interview, a shop assistant told reporters that "the price of silk has been rising steadily since the beginning of the past year. The price of silk in the provincial capital market has risen by one to 20% this year."

Afraid of rising costs, companies dare not take orders.

From China's cocoon silk market monitoring data, the reporter learned that since May this year, the domestic price of raw silk has risen all the way, and the rate of rising prices in September has accelerated.

According to the spot quotation of cocoon silk trading outlets, the price of raw silk in October 19th commodity inspection was about 360 thousand yuan / ton, which was more than doubled compared to 160 thousand yuan / ton at the beginning of the year 3A.

During the interview, Cui Xinchang, director of the office of the silk group of Zibo Da Lin Fang, said that at present, there are thousands of silk quilts in the market, and 5000 yuan is not a high price.

In the face of rising prices of raw silk, on the 24 th of this month, the state cocoon and silk office launched some public bidding for some national reserve factories, and planned to put in 581 tons of B class white factory silk which was put into storage in 2007.

However, for any large enterprise like Shandong Hairun group, 581 tons is just the quantity that the enterprise needs in a year.

The price of silk products is running high in the market, while many cocoon silk enterprises are worried.

Ling Lanfang, chairman of the silk road holding group, said shortly before micro-blog that Zhejiang silk exports to Europe fell by 20% in the past few months due to the European debt crisis.

During the interview, the head of a textile enterprise in Zibo, Shandong revealed to reporters that due to the impact of the European debt crisis, especially on the European and American markets, the export volume of Shandong's "silk" enterprises this year will decrease by 50%.

A deputy general manager of Shandong Zibo hareun group, who is responsible for production and sales, told reporters that "orders that are not long enough for more than 6 months now are basically sold on the spot of selling orders for one or two months."

Manager Li told reporters that the losses of the enterprises were serious this year. At present, the 5A grade raw silk prices needed by the enterprises soared to 390 thousand yuan per ton. According to the current situation, there is still room for further increase in raw silk prices, which is unprecedented for the foreign trade enterprises to indirectly relieve the international market.

"I'm afraid I'll take orders, and then the raw materials will go up again."

The purchasing power of the silk market is insufficient, and the cocoon and silk industry is in the "three high" era.

Insiders told reporters that in recent years, due to the excessive growth of domestic silk reeling production capacity, resulting in overcapacity, higher prices of production factors such as coal, electricity and water, labor and so on were the incentives for high price of cocoon silk, and the cocoon and silk industry was in the "three high" era of high cost, high-end production and high-end demand.

Ling Lanfang, chairman of the silk road holding group, mentioned in the speech of the Chongqing cocoon brand forum that cotton productivity, cotton spinning, natural fiber, chemical fiber and even linen spinning had been greatly improved in recent 10 years, and the productivity of per capita stands, per capita yarn production, per capita output value and profits have doubled.

But in addition to silk weaving and printing and dyeing, the former process and silk reeling have hardly improved.

10 years ago, the average annual output of silk was 550 kilograms. Until now, it has only mentioned 850 kg or less, but the labor cost has increased by two times.

This also makes many manufacturers who want to turn around and rely on the domestic market to do nothing. "Prices will not drop, and they will not be sold back to China."

A "silk" enterprise official said.

During the interview, Shandong hareun Group official told reporters that compared to the national strategic material grade cotton textile, silk products are still in the high-end consumer class.
