Domestic Sales Of Raw Material Enterprises

Recently, Xiaolan family has 20 years of history and thousands of workers.

Because of the decrease in overseas orders, the factory suddenly announced that it would suspend production and disband all employees.

But in fact, this is not an isolated case.

According to the municipal government office's Economic Research Report in the first half of this year, since the price of materials has been falling sharply this year, many shoe and clothing enterprises are at a loss as to what to do. More small and medium-sized shoes and clothing enterprises will be unable to bear the pressure of production cost and may be faced with a cut-off or closure.

Statistics show that the second quarter entrepreneurs confidence index and business climate index fell 9.2 percentage points over the first quarter.

According to the questionnaire survey results of 131 enterprises below the scale, 93% of the enterprises had a net interest rate below 5%, and 68% of the enterprises reflected the combined cost higher than last year.

What is the problem of these small shoe and clothing enterprises? What kind of predicament have they encountered? The rising price of these raw materials is not a heavy blow for many shoe and clothing enterprises.

In an interview with reporters, the owner of Lin said that the financial crisis made him move from exporting to domestic sales, but there was still a way out. However, the soaring prices of materials almost made him walk away. "It is not a small profit, but a zero profit, sometimes even a negative profit".

A shoe and garment enterprise in the port told reporters that the price of raw materials for shoes and clothing has risen all the way, and the increase has reached about 20%. Plus other costs, the cost of products and the factory price are almost equal. But because of the sluggish market, manufacturers are too competitive, and prices have not been raised.

If raw material prices are rising wildly, shoe and clothing enterprises can take some measures or digest them, but the problem before shoes and clothing enterprises is that oil prices will rise, labor remuneration increases and electricity prices will be raised.

According to the state and capital sector, the increase in raw material prices, the expansion of the total fixed assets, the increase of depreciation and other factors, the operating cost and cost of the operating enterprises in the city are relatively high, and the increase is slightly higher than that of the receivable.

Related information shows that this year, the average monthly salary of ordinary garment workers has been increased from 1500 yuan to 1800 yuan, and the special lathe operator's bottom salary is 2500 yuan.

But all these are different, but they all illustrate a problem, whether state-owned enterprises or private enterprises, whether large enterprises or small and medium-sized enterprises, there are such or such problems.

In this regard, the experts said that in economics, there is a noun named "Lewis inflection point", which means that labor force from full supply to change is a turning point for a large number of shortages.

This turning point means that the era of demographic dividend, which relies solely on cheap labor to create corporate profits and gains competitive advantage with cheap product prices, will never return.

It is obvious that at present, the coastal labor shortage in Zhongshan and the increasing wages of workers have led the coastal industries represented by the manufacturing industry to stand on such a "turning point of Lewis".

Business costs are rising steadily, and the price of factory products is difficult because of fierce market competition, lack of core competitiveness and so on. So the outcome can only be one, that is, the profits of enterprises are pressed and repressed, and eventually zero profits or even negative profits.

In fact, in addition to the rise in operating costs, RMB appreciation and overseas

Order

Reduction and other factors also have a damaging effect on the majority of small and medium-sized shoe and clothing enterprises.

At the beginning of this year, because of the worry about the appreciation of RMB and the change of raw material prices, many shoe and clothing enterprises did not dare to pick up, but only received short and medium bills.

The one thousand shoe enterprises in Siu Lam, which had mentioned earlier, suddenly announced that they were going to stop production. The most direct reason was that the overseas orders of the company were reduced, and the operation of enterprises was unsustainable.
