Industry Survey: (Shandong Gaomi) Three "Pushing Hands" Pushing Up Cotton Prices

Three "pushing hands" push up cotton prices

It is understood that cotton farmers are reluctant to sell, the sharp decrease in planting area and the reduction of output have become the main "pushing hands" for cotton prices to hit a new high.

Reporters and cotton processing point of exchange leaders learned that cotton farmers harvest cotton seeds are not eager to take away, most of their own homes.

Cotton farmers generally have a mentality of selling, selling or selling. This year cotton prices are higher than previous years, resulting in cotton farmers reluctant to sell, the imbalance between supply and demand and indirect promotion of cotton prices.

According to the cotton growers of the Kang Zhuang community in Gaomi street, the number of cotton seeds is less and less, which has led to a rise in cotton prices.

Speaking of the reasons for the reduction of planting area, growers generally believe that the decline in cotton yields in previous years is due to the fact that planting cotton is much more labor and labor than planting grain.

It is reported that under the influence of rainy weather, the cotton yield per mu in the city has generally decreased by 30%.

Although the production has been reduced, but because

It is understood that cotton prices rose this year, cotton processing households acquisition difficult, machine "eat enough" phenomenon is widespread.

Last year, when the new cotton came into the market, it started at a price of 3.1 yuan / kg. This year's cotton price reached 4.3 yuan / kg, and then rose to 6 yuan / Jin, which is nearly doubled compared with the same period last year.

In some processing households, reporters found that some processing machinery was in semi shutdown state.

Cai Jun, a cotton processing merchant of the high density street, said: "in the past season, it's a good time to buy new cotton. The growers have sent cotton to the processing point. This year is too abnormal. They even have to go home to invite them."

In order to survive, many processing households try to find their own way to buy cotton, but it has little effect.

Textile and garment enterprises wait and see

Cotton prices have been rising all the way, and the textile and garment industry has been greatly affected.

For textile enterprises that account for more than 60% of the cost of production, cotton prices have skyrocketed, leaving business decision-makers at a loss as to what to do.

Three a person in charge of real textile company told reporters: "the price of lint at the moment is twenty-seven thousand yuan per ton. At the beginning of September, it was ten thousand yuan and seven thousand or eight thousand yuan per ton. In less than two months, it rose nearly ten thousand yuan, which has not been seen in more than ten years."

In the face of high cotton prices, how to decide the inventory level in late stage has become a difficult problem faced by textile enterprises.

It is understood that the high cotton prices also forced the textile industry to increase the factory price of finished cloth, which also brought difficulties to the garment industry.

Hu Kai, a buyer of Gaomi Clothing Co., Ltd., is usually responsible for purchasing cloth. He found that the price of the original cloth was less than fifty thousand yuan per ton, but now it has risen to more than sixty thousand yuan.

The cost of raw materials has increased, and the production cost of garment enterprises has increased, and the pressure of development has also increased. Due to the stringent requirements of foreign markets for product prices, the prices of products exported by export-oriented enterprises are relatively small. In order to reduce costs, enterprises need to make more efforts in energy conservation and consumption reduction. Business owners believe that only modest reduction in cotton prices is conducive to the development of the textile and garment industry.
