< p > the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region seize the opportunity to shift the east to the West and vigorously develop mulberry and silkworm. In the first half of the year, the output of cocoons in the whole region was 145 thousand tons, up by 6% over the same period last year. The average price of cocoon purchase is about 40 yuan / kg, up 26.1% year-on-year, the highest in the calendar year. The income of sericultural farmers was 5 billion 800 million yuan, an increase of 1 billion 476 million yuan compared with that of the previous year, an increase of 34.14%. < /p >
< p > according to the statistics of the agricultural sector, the total silkworm rearing in Zhejiang province was 550 thousand this year, and the total amount of rearing was 10% lower than that of the same period last year. However, the proportion of quality silkworm varieties has increased considerably, and the new varieties of male silkworm have reached more than 50 thousand. The proportion of checkerboard cocoons in the acquisition is high, basically no cocoon cocoons, over tidal cocoons, good cocoon quality and high cocoon yield. During the spring cocoon rearing this year, the climate is suitable, and the growth of mulberry leaves is better, which is conducive to the rearing of silkworms. This year, the quality of cocoons is better, the output of Zhang is high, and the average output is 50 kilograms, but the total output may still be lower than that of last year. < /p >
< p > affected by the difference of cocoon quality and market demand, the purchase price of spring cocoons in Zhejiang province has increased considerably this year. In 2012, the average purchasing price of spring cocoons in Zhejiang province was 33 yuan / kg, and the average purchase price in 2013 was 43 yuan / kg, or 30%. < /p >
< p > this year, 277 thousand species of silkworm eggs were produced in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, ranking the first in the province. It is understood that the highest purchase price of spring cocoons in Dongtai, Sheyang and Dafeng, the main producing areas of Yancheng's sericulture, is about 54 yuan per kilogram, and the lowest purchase price is around 46 yuan per kilogram. The average purchasing price of spring cocoons in the city has increased by 25.6% compared with the same period last year, reaching a record high. The output value of silkworm cocoons is 630 million yuan in the spring, increasing 100 million yuan for farmers. Zong Wen < /p >

< p > January 4th is the first trading day in 2013, and the contract of cocoon silk is fully accepted, and the main contract is added to the warehouse, which can set a tone for the cocoon silk market in 2013. In January and February, cocoon silk prices remained at a high level. < /p >
< p > in early March, the price of cocoon silk decreased slightly. After the Spring Festival, the activity of cocoon silk market is relatively low. The production of silk enterprises is quite regular, and the procurement of raw materials is prudent. Most of them are bought and used immediately, resulting in pressure on silk stock of silk reeling enterprises. At the same time, after the Spring Festival, the climate of the silkworm areas is warm and the rain is abundant. The growth of mulberry trees is obviously better than that of the previous two years, and the enthusiasm of the silkworm farmers is high. In 2013, cocoons are expected to increase production. India's proposal to raise import tariffs on raw silk has become a fuse for cocoon silk prices to go down. < /p >
< p > in the middle of April, the price of cocoon silk decreased sharply, from 380 thousand yuan / ton to 365 thousand yuan / ton. Judging from the cycle, this period is in the alternation of new and old cocoons, resulting in an empty window period, coupled with the continuous rise of the cocoon silk market, and other textile materials to a certain extent, there is a trend of weakness in the market. The substantial increase in the price of cocoon silk market has brought a lot of negative effects to the industry. But since the late April, the market has begun to improve with the advent of new cocoons. At the end of April, the spring cocoons of Guangxi began to list. The purchase price continued to be high at the end of last autumn. The purchase price of Yizhou in northern Guangxi was maintained at 40~42 yuan / kg. The price of spring cocoon in Xiangzhou, Xincheng and Guangxi Hengxian and Binyang remained at 38~40 yuan / kg, and the new cocoon purchasing price provided new support for the April downturn. < /p >
< p > in early May, cocoon prices rose slightly, and the narrow oscillation market in the early stage gradually stabilized and maintained a rising trend. The recovery of export orders in 3~4 month is the basic reason for the price reversal this year, which directly led to the rising purchase price of spring cocoons this year. With the arrival of the peak season of consumption, the price of dry cocoon is moving upward gradually, and the overall rising pattern is continuing. < /p >
Generally speaking, in the first half of this year, the price of raw silk continued to rise. Last year, the price of raw silk rose from 366000 yuan per ton at the beginning of the year to 386500 yuan / ton at the end of June, or 5.60%. In the 3 and April, the demand for the downstream was difficult to change. Before the cocoon of the new cocoon was fully listed, there was a slight fall in cocoon silk, and the market continued to rise. Starting from the end of April, spring cocoons were listed on the market, and cocoon prices basically maintained at around 40 yuan / kg, up 10% from the same period last year. The purchasing price of spring cocoons is strong, and the average price of spring cocoons nationwide is almost the highest in history. The high cost of spring cocoons has become a foregone conclusion. The trend of high cost of cocoon raw materials is hard to change all year round. Raw silk prices remain strong, and cocoon support has become a solid reason for keeping the raw silk market at a high level. < /p >
< p > enterprise status < /p >
< p > loss management silk enterprise is laborious "/p".
< p > July 12th morning, Chen Qiming, head of Yuxin town Shuxin clothing and Clothing Co., Ltd., Deqing County, Zhejiang, put 1 tons of silk into storage. "We dare not enter more. Now the price of silk is too high, 330 thousand yuan per ton, compared with 230 thousand yuan per ton last year." Chen Qiming said that his enterprise needs about 70 tons of silk every year, and now he can only slowly replenishment. < /p >
< p > since June last year, the price of silk has kept rising. Speaking of the crazy rise in silk prices, Chen Qiming could not help crying out. He counted the accounts. In the first half of 2012, the company produced 0.9 kilograms of silk, and exported 53 dollars, with a profit of 5%. This year, the quilt of the same size will be sold for 57 dollars, with a loss of 2.5 dollars per quilt. < /p >
< p > "no way, the price is good in 3 months, and this year will be done at such a price, otherwise it will be a breach of contract." Chen Qiming said that he did export, and talked about the price once every 3 months. This year, he estimates that the price of silk will continue to rise, and will raise its price by 8% when negotiating prices with customers. "This price has been talked for 3 whole days, but it is still a loss." Chen Qiming said that now we can only subsidize other products. < /p >
< p > according to the price of silk in past years, 6, 7, 8 three months are the off-season sales of silk, and silk will depreciate. But since last year, this rule has been broken. Chen Qiming said that this year, people buy better quality silk quilt. The price is expected to be 180 yuan per catty and 140 yuan per catty last year. < /p >
Wang Xuerong, one of the directors of silver dream p, has the same trouble with Chen Qiming. "Even if it's not off-season this year, there will be less business." Wang Xuerong said that compared with last year, the output of enterprises has dropped by nearly half this year. The price of silk has not gone down in the off-season, and the increase is not small. What is the reason? Chen Qiming thinks that the growth of labor cost and the reduction of silkworm farmers are the key. < /p >
< p > Deqing County summer village of Yuyue town has only three households, and two silkworms are kept. Back in the 90s of last century, every family here raised silkworms. In 1997, there were 2000 silkworms in the village. Shen Bing, a 60 year old villager and half a year's species, has told reporters that she has to bring her children to cook, and can not go to work in the factory before choosing to continue raising silkworms. "Going to work in factories, earning 2000 yuan a month is much more profitable than raising silkworms." Shen Bing said that last month, she sold more than 20 kilograms of cocoons at a price of 2100 yuan / Dan (50 kg / kg), earning less than 900 yuan. "One year to raise four seasons of silkworm, the head silkworm is the best quality and the highest price, and then can not earn so much." < /p >
< p > besides, nowadays young people think that raising silkworms is too hard and they do not earn much. They are unwilling to do this job. Fewer silkworms, less cocoons and higher prices. < /p >
< p > how to get out of the industry circle? < /p >
On the one hand, the growth of sericultural farmers' income is very happy. On the other hand, silk enterprises are worried and struggling to survive. The two sides of the same chain of interests should share the joys and sorrows of P and win mutual benefit. < /p >
< p > for silkworm farmers, planting mulberry and raising silkworms is not only hard but also affected by uncontrollable factors such as weather and price fluctuations. With the rising cost of production materials and labor costs, cocoon prices will only rise and silkworm farmers will be able to raise silkworms. < /p >
< p > for the silk enterprises, the traditional export market economy is stagnant, the export is more and more difficult, the terminal market has limited affordability, and the rise of cocoon price is difficult to transmit to the downstream. The price of cocoon is too high and the price of silk is too high. < /p >
< p > How can we get out of the strange circle and let the cocoon silk industry develop healthfully? Only by digging the consumption demand deeply and developing high added value products can we ensure the profit margin of the silk enterprises and protect the interests of the farmers. < /p >
< p > silk has the name of "Queen", which symbolizes the unique status of the owner and reflects the elegant taste of the wearer. Recently, the handpainted silk brand Lansi painted in Wuhan new world China World Trade Center shop new business opening. The brand takes 100% mulberry silk as raw material, hand painted pattern and pure hand sewing, and has a group of loyal customers in the first tier cities. With the improvement of the quality of life, not only Lan's high-end clothing brand has a fixed market group, many brands of silk fabrics as the main brand are becoming more and more popular among consumers. < /p >
In recent years, more and more natural, green, pollution-free and functional new products, such as silk quilts, silk underwear, silk fashion and silk ornaments, have been continuously developed. The inherent advantages of silk fibers have been gradually recognized by modern people, which fully conform to the trend of "green consumption" nowadays. P < /p >
< p > for the export oriented Chinese silk industry, the silk domestic market with a population of 1 billion 300 million has great potential for development. Combined with the ancient Chinese silk culture, we can understand the current trend of consumption and stimulate the driving force of the domestic market. The silk industry will be able to get out of the strange circle and usher in a new spring. < /p >
