Chongqing: Production And Marketing Are All &Nbsp; 90% Silk Enterprises Cry

At the beginning of the year, Chongqing silk enterprises tied up accounts: more than 90% of enterprises cried.

Chongqing's foreign economic and Trade Commission said yesterday that Chongqing is

Status quo: 90% enterprises at a loss

"Only half of the capacity was started last year."

Yesterday, Zhou Xuanji, chairman of Tongnan County dazzle Jizhong silk Co., took inventory of the past year.

"We are fairly good. Some colleagues simply stop working."

He sighed with a bitter smile.

According to a statistical data from Chongqing Silk Industry Association, the production of raw silk was 1591 tons in 2011, down 24.45% from the same period last year. The production of real silk was 2 million 464 thousand and 600 meters, down 43.73% compared with the same period last year. The total silk fabric decreased by 14.55% compared with the same period last year, and the production of silk was 5923, which had a significant decrease compared with the same period in 2010.

At the same time, the number of silk enterprises has also declined sharply.

Before the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, there were more than 70 silk enterprises in Chongqing. After that, 40 or so remained, and 31 were reduced to the end of last year, while only 21 were in operation, while the remaining enterprises were not optimistic. More than 90% of the enterprises were in a state of loss.

Reason: price and cost "rear end"

"The current situation may be more serious than the 2008 financial crisis."

Wang Xiaohui, President of the Chongqing cocoon and silk industry association, said that in 2011, under the background of the weak international consumer market, raw material prices fluctuate drastically and labor costs increased, so that most of the silk enterprises in the industrial chain with low added value were breathless. Some small businesses with insufficient financial strength have been closed down, and some larger enterprises are struggling in the cracks between small profits and no profits.

Zhang Yongchun, head of Yonghua silk Co., Ltd., Hechuan District, told reporters that the price of silkworm cocoons rose to nearly 1600 yuan / load from the 1200 yuan / load (Note: 1 kg =50 kg) at the beginning of the year, and the price of finished products was 330 thousand yuan / ton at the beginning of last year, and the highest price had been sold to 410 thousand yuan / ton in July last year, and now it has dropped to 250 thousand yuan / ton.

"Raw materials are erratic, like roller coaster, which has great impact on enterprises."

Reporters learned in the interview that the high price of cocoons caused the high price of silk, which affected the price rise of terminal products, and led to a reduction in orders. In turn, it affected the enthusiasm of the terminal to purchase raw silk, and in turn, affected the price of silk.

It has become a headache for silk enterprises.

In addition, the rising cost of manpower has made many enterprises on the edge of marginal profits overwhelmed.

"Before 2011, the wage cost of a front-line worker was usually 1200~1500 yuan per month, rising to 1500~1800 yuan per month last year.

Plus social security, the cost of labor alone has increased by 30%.

Zhou Xuanji said.

Wang Xiaohui said that due to low automation and aging equipment, local enterprises mainly focused on semi-finished products for many years, and a few of them involved downstream products. However, they had been stuck in cotton products, pajamas and other products, and this was also one of the reasons for the current downturn in Chongqing's Silk Industry.

News depth: extending the industrial chain and supporting policies will be introduced

Deputy director of the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Commission, he thinks, now the industry competition from neighboring countries is becoming more and more intense. With the pressure of RMB appreciation, the comparative advantage of our city's cocoon silk export price is being weakened.

"We plan to gradually change the simple production oriented business mode and gradually turn to R & D design."

Ren Zhiqiang, chairman of Chongqing Hong Mei Da Xin Xing Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd., said that it had "borrowed brains" from the Japanese design team. "So the profit margin of the silk products with high added value is as high as 200%."

Chongqing weir silk Co., Ltd., a related person, told reporters that the company has developed a product that can be directly dehydrated and does not play ball. Now it has applied for a patent and intends to enter the high-end market in Europe and America.

It is understood that in order to help the development of the cocoon and silk industry, a proposal on promoting the development of modern silkworm industry in Chongqing is being discussed. It will give support to the silkworm layout, technological innovation and investment environment. In addition, our financial investment in the cocoon and silk industry will increase by nearly 3 times this year to more than 40 million yuan.
