Since November, winter clothing has begun to grow. Market Full listing, buying winter clothes to become citizens consumption Important content. However, this winter clothing market found that although domestic cotton prices fell sharply compared with last year, cotton and other clothing and apparel as the main raw materials still continued the trend of price rise last year.

In November 19th, after visiting several shopping malls in Zaozhuang, it was found that the price of winter underwear such as thermal underwear, coat and so on appeared to be more popular than that of last year. According to common sense, with the decline of the prices of raw materials such as cotton, cotton products (clothing, shoes and caps, etc.) also declined. However, during the visit, it was found that the prices of autumn clothes and winter clothes in the near future were not changing the price of cotton, but all along the way. In the two floor of Jiefang Road shopping center, from the counters of the shopping malls, it is known that this year, the brands of common brands, 500 yuan and one piece are hard to find. The price of most brands has exceeded 1000 yuan, while the price of single clothes is also around 500 yuan. "Garment production cycle is at least half a year or so. As cotton prices rose last year, the price of cotton textiles has been raised. Among them, cotton clothing, down garments and other winter clothing prices have risen by more than 20%, and the price of some clothing brands has risen even more than 50%." The purchase guide of a special brand.

A shop specializing in hats and gloves in Hongkong street, Zaozhuang, is crowded with people who come to buy Caps, masks and gloves. "In the past year, the number of gloves sold for 10 yuan and a pair of gloves was sold to over 20 yuan / pairs last year, and nearly 30 yuan was sold this year. In the past two years, the price increase has increased from 10% to 20%. Because the price is going up too much, we dare not buy it easily, and the quantity of purchase is also decreasing. Ms. Hou, who came to wholesale hats, masks and gloves, told reporters.

"One year cotton is better than one season".

Later, the reporter contacted Liu Haiquan, a cotton grower in Chengwu County of Heze province. He said that he wanted to have more kinds of grain last year, but because of the good price of cotton, there were many kinds of cotton. But this year, the fall in cotton prices has made him regret. Although 5 mu of cotton is not much, it has also lost a lot for him. The price of the original cotton seed is relatively high, plus poor management, low output and poor quality. Nearly 2000 Jin of cotton is now stacked in the home, and a pound is not sold. It costs a lot of time and cost to plant cotton, so it wants to sell a good price. We can wait to wait and see that the price is going down, but we are not willing to sell it. Besides, we can not see a cotton harvest now. Even if someone comes to collect it, we must sell it now.

"Although the policy has been good for two years, many farmers have given up farming and going to work in cities. To tell you the truth, a year cotton is better than a season job. For this year's cotton planting, one mu of cotton land will yield about 6000 yuan in 1 years. This is a good thing to say. If we work outside, we should say that we have nearly 10000 income in one quarter. Now farmers grow agricultural products, all luck, good luck, earn about 100000 a year is also there, but after all, only a small number. Next year is not going to grow cotton, and turn 5 acres of cotton into corn or wheat. Now the price of corn and wheat is not cheap, and most importantly, it is not as time-consuming and time-consuming as cotton. Many farmers in this village have been injured by planting cotton seeds, and everyone, like mine, has changed cotton fields to wheat. Liu Haiquan said.

"Many people complain about how they can't buy Cotton (spring flowers)" asked the reporter.

"Now we do not grow spring flowers, and grow more summer flowers. Unless there is marriage, we will occasionally grow some spring flowers." Liu Haiquan introduced. "Why not grow spring flowers?" asked the reporter.

"Planting cotton and spring flowers can only grow one season. It is not easy to hit a little cotton. But as long as we know flowers, we will choose spring flowers as quilts. Liu Haiquan explained.

"It's a little difficult to buy spring cotton."

"It is said that the price of cotton is cheap this year, and the market demand suddenly shrinks, so I think I can buy some affordable cotton this year. But what I didn't think was that after running down the road, I didn't get the right cotton." Speaking of cotton this year, Sun Xinrong, who lives in central Yongan Township, shook his head repeatedly.

Ms. sun's daughter is going to get married next year, which can be very busy, Ms. sun, who has been busy finding cotton for her daughter since April of this year. "Do not see now supermarkets, shopping malls are the main down quilt, silk quilt, but those are not suitable for marriage, to say that marriage is used, or the elder cotton used to be covered with steadfast. Besides, Zaozhuang people also pay attention to this. Daughters are married, and the wedding quilts are all quilts made by their mothers' homes. Also choose to sew in the days of even numbers. Not only is this sewing day exquisite, the quantity of sewing is also exquisite, generally it is double, quilt, two bed mattress, 6 bed quilt and two bed mattress. In addition, the quilt number of the quilt is also known as 6.6 Jin / bed, or 8.8 Jin / bed, and 3 to 4 jin of cotton seed per catty cotton. In this way, the demand for cotton is not small. " Miss sun calculated such an account.

"Because my daughter arrived at the age of marriage for nearly two years, I paid special attention to the market situation of cotton. In the same period last year, cotton was at the top of the roller coaster, and the price of seed cotton was close to 7 yuan / Jin. At that time, I was considering whether to buy less and store it at home, so as to prevent the cotton price from going up again this year. When I heard that the cotton price dropped this year, I couldn't wait to go around, and I also asked some relatives and friends to buy some good cotton (spring flowers). But to my disappointment, after looking for more than three months, I asked the five or six villages and towns around them not to find the farmers who planted the spring flowers. There was no way to entrust the relatives who helped cotton growers in Dezhou's hometown to help them. They had been busy for nearly a month before they wrote back to me and found that a spring flower was planted. But the quantity was very small, and it was seventy or eighty pounds, which was far from enough. Many people say that cotton is unmarketable this year and I bought a lot of cotton. " Miss sun complained about her experience in buying cotton.

In fact, there are not many people who share the same cotton shopping experience with Ms. sun. Earlier, the reporter has been listening to the public complain, "now can not buy spring flowers, if you really want to buy, you have to turn a few bends."

All cotton yarn has no market price, dealers are dismal maintenance.

Cotton sales are so bleak in the market. What is the status of cotton spinning enterprises? Then, the reporter contacted Li Yongfeng, manager of a textile company in Dezhou. "This is a popular saying in the textile industry: the upstream of the textile industry chain looks downstream, downstream needs and exports are not good. As the downstream link of cotton, the rising price of cotton yarn reflects the impact of textile materials on the textile industry chain under multi speculation. In recent two years, the price of cotton has increased 3 times. Although the price of cotton has started to decline, the cost of the company has not been reduced. In addition, influenced by the rising cotton prices last year, many small and medium-sized cotton mills are blindly following the trend, and the inventory is slowly digested. This leads to the impeding demand for cotton and cotton yarn in the upper reaches. If cotton consumption is not stimulated by the downstream demand, it will appear pale. In the past, it was generally believed that cotton was cheap to hurt farmers and cotton was expensive, but in fact, cotton prices had plummeted, and businesses had also failed to get the benefits. Cotton prices soared at the end of last year, and many cotton textile enterprises and trading enterprises increased their inventories to ensure production and operation. Unexpectedly, after the price of cotton fell all the way, many cotton enterprises were locked up and suffered heavy losses. In addition, the international textile market is also in the doldrums, the export orders are falling, coupled with the rising labor costs and the intensified competition in the domestic market. The cotton textile industry is now relatively low, and many cotton enterprises have closed down or stopped production. A towel factory that he knows is closed several months ago. At the same time, some cotton spinning and garment processing enterprises even face the pressure of shutting down production and closing down. Li Yongfeng said.
