Cotton Soared Cost Pressure Increased &Nbsp; Hefei Clothing Prices Will Rise Again.

A statistics show that last year

"The price of an ordinary coat in the mall is thousands of times, and only when it is discounted."

Miss Qian found that the price of winter clothing in this shopping mall was generally much higher than in previous years, and the mounting charge of the public has been inextricably linked to the cotton price that has not been reheated last year.

It is understood that despite the steady decline in cotton prices in the second half of last year, clothing prices still soared in the terminal sales segment.

Reporters noted that last year, a number of domestic clothing listed companies annual reports show that, by the cost of raw materials, labor and other costs, clothing prices generally rise, ranging from 10% to 20%.

Although the price of cotton has dropped somewhat compared with last year's high level, the price of clothing is still rising this year because of the expected increase in cotton prices.

"The shadow of soaring cotton prices last year is still there."

A brand clothing dealer in the provincial capital, Mr. Chen told reporters that the price of cotton has been rising, pushing up the price of clothing, and the public's cash on the spot has led to a surge in pressure on many brand clothing retailers.

Yesterday, the Anhui investigation team of the National Bureau of statistics released the survey. According to the test of some rural markets in our province, the average price of cotton (seed cotton) was 7.46 yuan per kilogram last year, up 39.3% from 5.36 yuan per kilogram in 2009.

From the annual price trend, cotton prices tend to be stable before the listing of new cotton, which fluctuates at around 6.3~6.5 yuan per kilogram. After the listing of new cotton, the price rises significantly, with the highest average price reaching 12 yuan / kg, which is twice the price of the lowest monthly price.

According to the survey and analysis, the cotton price increase is mainly due to a large increase in cotton growers' cost. The gap between supply and demand caused by domestic cotton production has not been made up by imported cotton. Large scale disaster weather has affected cotton production in the future; the cotton inventory in the textile industry is relatively low.

In addition, driven by the replenishment needs of textile industry in Europe and the United States, cotton prices continued to rise in our province.

Provincial textile industry insiders told reporters that the production of cotton garments in general is less than half a year after cotton harvest. That is to say, the rising price of raw materials will directly lead to spring clothing this year, which means that the price of spring clothes may rise again this year.

"Last year due to many reasons, clothing prices rose by about 20%~30%."

Liu Ling, general manager of smart children's clothing, told reporters that the increase in clothing prices this year is still digesting the cost increase of last year. But now that the price of clothing is already running high, this year's expected increase will not exceed 20%.
