Plus Interest + Foreign Exchange &Nbsp; Textile Industry Refacing "Dilemma"

Bao Songjin, general manager of Ningbo Tian Hui Textile Co., Ltd., yesterday interviewed by our reporter, said that although business loans were not much, raising interest rates would still increase costs, making it difficult for the 108th Canton Fair's textile and clothing export orders to start in October 31st.

The rising price of raw materials and exchange rate fluctuations will be more and more difficult to bear according to the current order price. The enterprise will prepare to raise the price across the board at this Canton Fair. The plan has been basically completed. Now the interest rate rises suddenly, and how to integrate the factor to raise the price comprehensively requires careful consideration.

"Because of raw materials and so on this year.

This year, China's textile and garment enterprises have mixed feelings. On the one hand, domestic and foreign markets are growing side by side, while the other side is fast rising prices of raw materials. Most enterprises have turned their heads down in order to increase their orders.

As one of the main raw materials of clothing and textile industry, cotton prices are rising rapidly. China's cotton price index shows that September is the peak of cotton price rising again.

In September 1st, the cotton price was 18002 yuan / ton, and the price rose to 22684 yuan / ton in September 30th, rising nearly 5000 yuan. Cotton price rose 13% in the short five days after the National Day holiday; cotton price has reached 24526 yuan / ton as of October 19th.

The price of clothing, accessories, polyester, chemical fiber, polyester fiber, artificial cotton and wool has also increased to varying degrees, of which viscose staple fiber prices have recently exceeded 22000 yuan / ton historical high.

Wang Yisheng, director of Lotte children's clothing, said that the price of raw materials increased by more than 30% in the past few months, but the price increase to customers was only about 10%. Most of them were digested by themselves. At present, both domestic and foreign markets are hard to raise prices for customers, and jeans and other products are not profitable at all.

Raising interest rates will undoubtedly further increase operating costs and eat up the last pitiful profits of textile and clothing.

Xu Yuping, general manager of Shenzhen gure Fashion Co., said that the impact was divided into two levels: on the one hand, the increase in interest rate led to the increase in costs, which further led to a decline in profits, especially for orders which had already signed contracts. This year, the cost of labour in the three corners of the pearl market rose sharply, 20%~30%, and the prices of raw materials rose all the way. The profits of textile and garment industry were explored. Interest rates continued to cut down the small profits of enterprises. On the other hand, interest rate hikes would increase domestic mortgage pressure, and consumers' consumption due to increased housing pressure might reduce consumption of clothing, which may drag on the growth of the domestic clothing market.
