Domestic silkworm cocoon raw silk prices since the financial crisis in 2008 all the way skyrocketing, up to 300,000 yuan / ton, the highest in nearly 15 years the highest price. The reason behind the "Silk Capital" Shengze's salesman for the Oriental Silk Market in China is, "The price of raw silk has been rising and rising too much." The reason behind this is the imbalance between supply and demand and the drastic reduction in output due to drought in areas such as Sichuan and Jiangxi. The urgent need is concerned that the cocoon shortage, the entire silk industry chain has been scared out "flour over bread" - cocoon and silk upside down 20,000 yuan, most of the companies are faced with rice dumpling dilemma. Last year, 300 yuan a set of silk pajamas early summer this year, the price has been changed to 360 yuan. A silk store in Xinzhong Road, Shengzeshun, a silk salesman, said to the Post reporter: "Raw material prices have risen so hard that prices do not rise. You do not buy now. Behind the apparel price hike is silk raw materials - raw silk prices all the way up, subject to tight supply and demand, strong demand for economic recovery and weather conditions, silk cocoon raw silk prices have soared, has reached its highest point in 15 years. "Ministry of Commerce, China Shengze Silk Chemical Fiber Index" shows that the price of silkworm cocoons silk products reached the top in several years by the end of April. Ministry of Commerce, China Shengze Silk Chemical Fiber Index has a barometer of the industry said in April the cocoon silk products in the index boom in the overall judgment of 104.8387, while in March the index was 90.625. In addition to the high price of silk products market exclaimed, and more It is noteworthy that, due to the shortage of silk cocoons, the anomaly of "flour over bread" has been found in the whole silk industry chain. The price of cocoon and silk is upside down by 20,000 yuan, that is, the production of one ton of silk The highest price of dry cocoon needed to be exploded to 300,000 yuan, while the same hurricane raw silk prices rose to 280,000 yuan / ton, which makes most of the reeling enterprises are facing a huge increase in production costs and even the situation without rice. Raw silk prices rose 1,000 yuan / ton China is a big silk country, accounting for 80% of the world's production, of which Shengze is one of China's largest silk producer, has the reputation of "China's first cloth market," the Oriental Silk Market, and "Business Department of China Shengze Silk Chemical Fiber Index "basic data sampling range is the Chinese Oriental Silk Market operators. Shengze is located in Wujiang City, southern Suzhou, 60 kilometers away from Suzhou. China Oriental Silk Market is located in the southeastern Yaojiabaqiao Shengze Town West, the market follows the layout of the Ming and Qing markets, the loop on both sides of the road, row upon row of shops. According to the East Silk Market Management Committee introduced Shengze since ancient times is "one of the four major silk", the town's silk exports accounted for one-sixth of China's silk exports. Currently Shengze has more than 2,600 production plants, the market has brought together more than 6,500 from the country's textile firms, operating more than 3,000 varieties of real silk, chemical fiber fabrics. Morning Post reporter randomly consulted with several businesses within the Oriental Silk Market, sales staff talking about the stock of silk materials, shook his head and said "has been rising, rising too high." Heyday Shengze Silk Co., Ltd. is the first purely private real silk enterprise and one of the sampling companies of the silk fiber index. Wu Jianhua, the general manager of the company, told the Post reporter that the price of raw silk has not risen since the 2008 financial crisis Stopped, the current Class A white silk has risen from last year's 170,000 / ton to 300,000 / ton. Wu Jianhua said: "In particular, raw silk prices have risen to 1,000 yuan a day for the past six months, with a rate of 2,000 yuan / ton. Conventions that could have previously delayed payment are of no use. We now have to wait in line for cash." The rise in raw silk prices Cocoon from the rise. According to Fan Ganqun, consultant of the preparation office of the Ministry of Commerce of China, Shengze Silk & Chemical Fiber Index, the price of silkworm cocoon in 2008 was over 10 yuan / kg, but now it is over 30 yuan / kg. Fan Ganqun said that in the past many sericiculture farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Wujiang Mulberry was as high as 100,000 mu, but with the increase of factories, sericulture bases have been transferred, there is still some in northern Jiangsu and southern Zhejiang, but the main mulberry fields are in Guangxi , Sichuan and other places, so the spring of 2010, affected by drought in the western region, the first batch of spring cocoon supply tight, raising the price of fresh cocoon listing, "the highest when the spring cocoon price in Guangxi rushed to 36 yuan / kg , Now a bit down to 30 yuan / kg, or very high. "Wu Jianhua said a few days ago he has been in Guangxi, Sichuan run, one received the cocoon, and second, and peer communication about the price of cocoon. He said insiders believe that with the second batch and the third batch of spring cocoons going on the market, the tight supply situation will gradually slow down and the price of fresh cocoon may slightly drop, "but there will be no major adjustment." "Flour over bread," the face of rising raw materials, several happy a few unhappy. Sericulture farmers generally benefit from this round of price increases, but the silk factory has the highest risk as an intermediate link in the entire industrial chain. From the China Silk Association data show that from January to February this year, the silk industry losses up 38.6%, higher than the national average of 35.4% of the textile industry, the level of losses. According to Fan Gan group introduction, affected by the price hike of raw materials, the profits of the silk factory in the middle reaches of the industrial chain are squeezed the most seriously, "Shengze originally had 12 reeling factories, and now there are only three." Jiangsu Huajia Investment Group Wu Li-chen, deputy director of the office introduced, and sometimes cocoon rose too much, the price transmission to the industry chain will appear cocoon "upside down" phenomenon, faced with the dilemma of revenue and sales, reeling plant will certainly be a loss. Jiangsu Huajia Group is the only one in Shengze to get through the middle and lower reaches of silk industry chain of silk enterprises, from silkworm mulberry to reeling silk, and then clothing sales, forming a complete silk industry chain. However, reeling part, Hua Jia still feel the cost pressure. "Our general manager flew to Guangxi to collect the cocoon, even if we have an agreement in Guangxi farmers, but because of the issues related to pricing, quantity and other issues, the general manager not not." Wu Lizhen said Huajia annual demand for silk in 1000 About 10,000 tons, the acquisition of cocoon by agreement is not enough to meet the needs of the company, or to buy cocoons at a high price on the market, which is the main reason for the increase of product cost. In addition, the silk industry due to recruitment difficulties, wages generally rose 20%, but also increased product costs. For the relatively large number of silk fabric processing plants in Shengze, the impact of rising raw materials on the enterprises showed a polarization. According to Fan Gan group introduction, rising raw materials, for stocks in the factory is beneficial, but the large amount of funds needed for the stock, small factories can not stockpile, so while processing is a low-cost orders, while receiving high-priced raw silk , The risk of loss is great. For larger factories with inventories, the impact of this round of rally is smaller. Wu Jianhua, general manager of the heyday of silk introduced, and now the company has some inventory, raw materials can be by the end of July, to a certain extent, to avoid the risk. However, Wu Jianhua said that they are now selling fabrics prices have also been rising, not only the pressure of rising raw materials, the pressure on other costs of the enterprise is also great. According to Wu Jianhua introduction, the company's existing shuttles are basically suspended, because the traditional silk industry to workers more demanding, and the chemical fiber industry to workers proficiency requirements low, so in order to facilitate the recruitment of workers, not only to increase the wages of workers , But also increase the automation equipment. "Just bought eight new machines, each 500,000 yuan, a fixed cost of spending a lot." Wu Jianhua said. May and June fears "may the whole market feel the price of silk raw materials rose too crazy, may come to an end, so wait and see mood began to appear." Wu Jianhua told Post reporter, heyday silk 70% -80% of the products are exported, the main export Spain and France. However, orders from foreign merchants were significantly lower after the raw silk prices peaked at the end of April and started to decline slightly in early May. Fan Ganqun, consultant for the preparation office of China's Shengze Silk and Chemical Fiber Index, said that China is a major exporter of silk and silk. In terms of export sales, the biggest factor affecting foreign purchases is the fluctuation of raw silk prices and quality. Because a certain period of silk, silk demand is basically fixed, the price drop will prompt them to wait and see; the price increase but will prompt foreign procurement speed, thereby further promoting the silk price rise. "Foreign traders have obviously had the wait-and-see sentiment in May." Wu Jianhua said that the company received many orders before May, but the main reason was that because merchants waiting to see at the beginning of the year saw the price rise, they quickly placed orders and the prices now In this way, foreign traders instead have to look at the decision again. Wu Jianhua worried about the prospect of the industry, he said that the season should be turned into the off-season of the original silk fabric orders, if the next few orders in June or July, followed by the August holiday in Europe, summer sales a good time It is missed, which is more pressure on enterprises than raw material prices. "In response to rising raw materials, in fact, there is a coping strategy." Wu Jianhua introduced several best-selling silk products, he said most of the new varieties are generally higher prices, compared with competitors also have advantages. He said: "We must adjust the product structure, do not only do the traditional old products, to be innovative products, but also to do deep processing, to go high-end line." In the heyday of silk interview process, the Post reporter also learned that last year, Wu Jianhua The 100-year-old factory that purchased the silk industry - Suzhou Soochow Silk Mill Co., Ltd., all produced silk weaving machines, rapier weaving machines and their related equipment, and introduced the management staff, technicians and operations of Soochow personnel. "I heard that the brand" Soochow "should also be auctioned at the right price, and we will buy it for further processing." Wu Jianhua said that for high-end products, raw material prices are not sensitive. The way to avoid rising raw material prices Products to deep processing and development, is to avoid the best way to float raw materials. According to insiders, raw silk in the final price of high-grade silk clothing only a small part, such as the price of 300 yuan / sets of silk pajamas, according to the current ordinary silk fabric from 28 yuan / m last year rose to 35 yuan / m To calculate, pajamas prices go up 20% not only offset the rising pressure on raw materials, and even thickened profits. Fan Ganqu told the Post reporter, the silk industry usually has a 50% law: that is, the rate of increase of raw materials delivered to consumers about 50% at a reasonable price, since 2008 silk nearly doubled, silk prices generally rose 20% -50%, it is currently estimated that the general price of consumer goods in silk this year raised. "In fact, I think the price of silk is up." Fan Gan group analysis, the entire fiber fabric market, only 1.2% of silk, scarcity of valuables, coupled with the overall price rise, the silk rose fierce is also very normal. Fan Ganqun said that in the southern silkworm farmer, there is a saying from ancient times that "the price of silkworm cocoon is about 28-30 yuan / kg in the industry is more reasonable, while the price of Class A white silk Can be maintained at 250,000 yuan / ton, the average price of silk fabric 32 yuan / m, so that the profits of upstream and downstream industry chain can get a certain degree of assurance.
