Cotton Prices Have Fallen By Two Or Three In Autumn And Winter.

The autumn wind is getting cold, and the autumn winter clothing is also on sale. But many consumers find this autumn.

Since last October,

However, at present, domestic cotton prices have dropped to below 20000 yuan / ton, or more than 30%.

But the reporter learned in the interview that although the price of cotton has dropped, the price of clothing and fabrics has risen.

Analysis of the industry, in addition to the autumn winter clothing materials are mostly caused by high price spring cotton, the price is also from the middle all aspects of the joint rise.

Customer

One month's salary is not enough to buy two jackets.

"This year, the clothes in the market have gone up again, and a pure cotton jacket will cost thousands of dollars.

Nowadays, buying clothes can only sweep away goods during holidays and anniversaries, even if it costs money. "

Yesterday, Wang Shi Yu, a public citizen, came out of Yintai department store with a large bag of packages, so he told reporters.

During the national day, most shopping malls in Hangzhou city had a discount sale for new autumn and winter clothing, but according to many consumers, a coat that could be bought hundreds of yuan last year has exceeded 1000 yuan this year.

"Originally wanted to take advantage of the National Day mall discount, focus on buying autumn and winter clothing, I did not expect to go around a circle but found that their wages can not buy two coats a month."

Speaking of rising clothing prices, Wang Shi Yu is somewhat helpless.

Reporters in Hangzhou several shopping malls and some brand clothing store to see, the new listing of autumn clothing has been placed in the counter striking position, the price is not low.

The price of a long sleeved sweater is about 700 yuan, while the price of similar clothes last year is about 500 yuan.

The head of the counter said frankly that the price of autumn and winter clothes this year did increase by two or three, and most of them increased by more than 100 yuan.

Cotton grower

The price of cotton is less than that of last year.

Now it is the season of cotton harvest. Yesterday, reporters contacted Xing Zugui, a cotton grower of the Xinjiang Construction Corps Agricultural first division. When he answered the phone, he was collecting cotton in the cotton field.

"This year, Xinjiang has a lot of rain. When the cotton is blooming, the weather is bad, the output of cotton is low, and the cotton purchase price is low, so this year we may have to lose money."

Xing Zugui is not a native of Xinjiang, but has been growing cotton for more than 10 years.

Last year, the price of long staple cotton was 12 yuan / kg, and the price of Upland Cotton reached 10 yuan / kg, which made cotton growers taste the sweetness. So this year Xing Zugui contracted more than a few acres, but did not expect the purchase price of cotton fell.

According to him, cotton purchase price dropped to 9.1 yuan -9.3 yuan / kg during the same period of this year, and the price of three flower flower processed by new flower was about 20500 yuan -20800 yuan / ton.

In the interview, most cotton growers share the same view with Xing Zugui - the cotton market this year is not optimistic.

As cotton prices rose too high last year, and cotton production, plastic film, fertilizer, pesticides and other means of production and management costs rose, although cotton harvest is good this year, the income is quite different from that of last year.

Analysis

Cotton prices drop.

As we all know, cotton is one of the important raw materials for clothing, but cotton price has dropped. Why hasn't the price been cut?

The lag of garment production cycle

A leading garment manufacturer in Hangzhou said that the production cycle lasted for at least half a year.

At present, most of the cotton used by textile enterprises is bought high priced cotton in the first half of the year, when cotton price is at a high level of 30000 yuan per ton.

Zhejiang University of Technology professor of clothing design Zhang also believes that although the spot price of cotton has dropped by nearly 40% from March to now, in fact, most of the autumn clothes are made of spring cotton, and many enterprises are still in the stage of raw material de stocking.

As cotton prices soared last year, many cotton companies blindly hoarded a lot of cotton. Now cotton prices have fallen, but the cost of production has risen sharply, leading to higher prices.

Affected by this, the price of autumn and winter clothing is also rising.

"Eat" profit in many links, such as manual, logistics and so on

In addition to "cotton price sequelae", a clothing sales enterprise manager Zhang manager also has his own understanding.

He thinks that the clothing materials such as down garments, coats and windbreaker are only 10-20% of their fabrics, but the prices of raw materials such as chemical fiber and wool have not dropped.

"The basic wage of workers in garment industry has also risen to varying degrees, most of which rose from 1500 yuan to 1800 yuan, or 20%, which is even stronger than cotton prices."

Zhang also calculated his own account. The cost generally accounts for only about 20% of the bid price.

A clothing price tag 1/3 belongs to the manufacturer, wholesaler or agent occupies 1/3, and retail channel cost also occupies 1/3.

"Price increases are the collective actions of all sectors, such as the factory price increase of 20%. In order to increase profits, agents will also raise the tag price to increase profit margins.

All of these have raised the price of clothing.

This is confirmed by Lu Ning, a staff member of the Shandong Ya Li clothing group company. He said that the price of cotton has fallen, and the purchase of raw materials has indeed saved the cost. However, the garment enterprises have not taken the big profits, and many profits have been expended in the circulation process.

"For example, the domestic and foreign market hot money is involved in the clothing industry, the clothing price is scrambled up, take the opportunity to profit, we also did not earn much."
