Cost Increased &Nbsp; Wholesale And Retail Market Prices Rose In Summer 2011.

I visited Beijing Dahongmen clothing wholesale market to understand that this year's spring and summer season. Clothing price There has been a general increase. Among them, cotton and chiffon quality clothing prices rise more. Silk clothing The price increase is slightly smaller. A salesperson selling pajamas told the author: "this year Raw material And transportation fees have risen. One metre of cotton cloth costs about 9 yuan, resulting in a marked increase in cotton clothing and a smaller increase in silk clothing, with an average increase of two or three yuan per piece. In the past, a cotton pajamas earned more than 10 yuan. Now the price has gone up, but profits have dropped. " And a salesperson selling Chiffon shirts said that Chiffon shirts had risen quite a lot this year, "a garment has gone up by 20-30 yuan."

The rise of wholesale prices has a direct impact on retail businesses, and the volume of purchases has declined, and the purchase cycle has become longer. At the Beijing zoo's clothing wholesale market, a shopkeeper who is buying goods told the author: "now we are cautious in stocking, and the purchase cycle will be longer than the previous week. At this time last year, six or seven pieces of clothing were taken in a store. Only two or three pieces were taken this year, and a sweater with a price of 40 yuan last year will cost 60 yuan this year. "

With the increase of garment factory price, labor costs are also rising. At the front of many stores, I saw advertisements for recruitment guides, and merchants said that even if the basic salary is raised appropriately, shopping guide is still not good. It is understood that a general guide shopping in the monthly salary of 1500-3000 yuan, labor costs have also increased the pressure on businesses.

It is understood that last month, the domestic Spot price of cotton 60684 yuan / ton, futures price 30716 yuan / ton, up 97.48% and 88.31% respectively over the same period. The increase in oil prices also increased logistics costs earlier this month.
