Bird Flu Causes Rising Prices Of Down Materials And Wenzhou Garment Enterprises Can Not Afford It.

< p > May, it was time for Li Boqin to "throw away his arms and do a big job", but now he is trapped in the dilemma that "a clever woman can't make bricks without straw".

< /p >

Li Boqin, less than P. Thirty, is the boss of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_p.asp "Wenzhou /a" Ai Le Clothing Co., Ltd., at this time of year, it is precisely when his factory produces large quantities of winter down clothes.

< /p >

< p > but this year, Li Boqin, who has worked with many years, refused to supply raw materials to him at the time when he signed the contract at the beginning of the year.

The reason is that the price of H7N9 has increased.

< /p >

< p > "the order for garments has come to us. If we can't get the raw materials on time, the factory will lose a lot."

Li Boqin said that such a "default" behavior of raw material suppliers may cause a devastating blow to enterprises.

< /p >

< p > Li Boqin's experience is not unique. The reporter learned from Wenzhou's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" target= "_blank" > clothing < /a > chamber of Commerce and learned that more than 3000 similar garment factories in Wenzhou had similar situations.

No one thought that this bird flu might bring Wenzhou's clothing industry a "drastic" pain.

< /p >

< p > < strong > the price of raw materials has increased by more than 60%, < /strong > /p >

< p > < strong > this year, the price of the down garment will definitely increase. < /strong > < /p >

< p > "no more feather down material, we will stop working."

In Li Boqin's company, the young boss walked into the company's warehouse with reporters. It looked empty, and two bags of down were stacked in a corner, which was the last "food" of the company.

< /p >

< p > "actually, we signed a contract with the supplier of raw materials at the beginning of the year, when the price was 300 thousand yuan per ton."

Li boss said that only a few days ago, the supplier called him and said that it was difficult to make an appointment, which made him unprepared.

< /p >

P, the supplier told Li boss that the duck and goose by-product feather down the poultry industry chain has become a "scarce commodity" under the influence of H7N9 avian influenza. The latest price is more than 500 thousand yuan per ton.

< /p >

Less than P, such an increase is unbearable for Lee boss's company.

"Our order has already gone out and signed the contract with the buyer. Now the raw material has more than doubled, and this loss will be borne by us."

Li Boqin said helplessly.

< /p >

< p > Li boss told reporters that his company belongs to a typical clothing manufacturer in Wenzhou. It produces about 100 thousand garments a year, of which 20 thousand are down garments and 2 tons of down material is needed.

< /p >

< p > "the losses faced by the company are very large."

Li Boqin said that business has not been done well recently, so that the pressure of survival is even greater.

< /p >

"P" reporter found that at present, clothing enterprises in Wenzhou, a similar situation is widespread.

< /p >

< p > many enterprises can only purchase raw materials at high price in order to complete the order of down garments.

"In order to continue to cooperate with buyers, we know that the more we do, the more we lose money, and we must do our best."

This is what a man in charge of men's clothing business in Longwan, Wenzhou said.

< /p >

< p > "raw materials are rising so much that this year's price of the down garment will definitely increase, and it is estimated that it will more than double."

Some garment factory owners say so.

< /p >

< p > < strong > no feather feather > /strong > /p >

< p > < strong > raw material supplier "breach" < /strong > /p >

< p > Li Boqin also wanted to take the contract to court to prosecute the supplier's "breach of contract".

However, the result is that the rational party is a supplier of raw materials.

< /p >

< p > "this situation is called" change of circumstances "in law.

Lawyer Lu Shi Fa, a new Zhejiang Zhongda law firm, told reporters that after the establishment of the contract, the clothing factory and the supplier of raw materials could not continue to perform according to the original contract because of the influence of bird flu.

< /p >

< p > "avian influenza causes raw material to rise. This fact is neither fault nor responsibility for both sides."

Lv Shifa said that if the contract was continued, it was obviously unfair to the suppliers, so they could choose "breach of contract" and recontract the contract.

< /p >

< p > then, the reporter contacted the raw material supplier of some down garments in Wenzhou. Most of them were down products company in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou.

< /p >

< p > according to these suppliers, the fundamental reason for their "breach of contract" is the decrease in feather and down, and the nationwide suppliers generally increase their prices substantially.

< /p >

< p > "now few people eat chicken and duck, even feather and woolen are gone. We sell raw materials according to the original order, and we can't afford them."

Suppliers say that the purchase price of feather and feather after bird flu has nearly doubled.

< /p >

< p > < strong > Wenzhou 3000 garment enterprise < /strong > < /p >

< p > < strong > some may fall down < /strong > /p >

In the past few days, Li Boqin has been consulting with his suppliers in order to minimize the company's losses, P.

< /p >

< p > the latest development is that Li Boqin and the supplier have finally reached an agreement. "We pay part of the original price and the other part is delivered at the negotiated price."

Li Boqin said that in addition to saving themselves, they also hope to be supported by government departments.

< /p >

< p > Wang Xinfu, Secretary General of the clothing trade association of Wenzhou, said that conservatively estimated that Wenzhou garment enterprises need about 600 tons of down material every year.

"Under the background of the financial crisis, if the pressure of the rising cost of raw materials is entirely borne by the producers, it is likely that a batch of garment enterprises will be shut down or even closed down."

< /p >

< p > Wang Xinfu said: Recently, the chamber of Commerce has begun to investigate the pressure of nearly 3000 Wenzhou garment enterprises, collecting information by special personnel, and communicating them to enterprises in a timely manner through the exchange platform.

< /p >

< p > besides, reporters learned from the China feather and down industry association that they have also issued an appeal recently, hoping that the supply and manufacturers of raw materials can communicate with each other and "restore the normal operation of the down production supply chain as soon as possible".

< /p >

< p > Wenzhou < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > garment enterprise < /a > annual needs about 600 tons of down material.

If the pressure of the rising cost of raw materials is entirely borne by the producers, it is likely to result in a batch of garment enterprises shutting down or even closing down.
