Faced with the continuously high cotton and yarn fabric markets and the current foreign trade situation, the vast majority of mainland small and medium-sized textile enterprises have adopted continued and stable production and operations, and strived to reduce “double-end inventory” to ensure normal production and operations.
According to the research of many coastal textile companies, a company with 20,000 spindles and more than 100 people has an operating rate of more than 90%. It produces about 5 tons of pure cotton yarn per day and consumes 5.5 tons of cotton. Around tons. There are many such small and medium-sized factories in the local area. The usual raw material cotton inventory is around 200 tons. On average, they are replenished once a week, and about 20 tons of cotton are purchased at a time. Yarn inventories are also being kept to a minimum. For the same company mentioned above, it is rare to see a large amount of finished yarn in stock. Since most of the orders are for domestic sales, many companies joke that “the warehouse is on the car.” When raw materials and products are at artificially controlled minimum values, companies that sell spot goods will not have any pressure. Of course, the abundant cotton supply market and convenient purchase and sale circulation also allow companies to have no worries and concentrate on completing each order to obtain normal operating benefits.
With the international economic situation and the unclear domestic and foreign trade trends of textiles, companies’ psychological expectations for stockpiling are not high, and stable operations are still the first choice for companies. On the 24th, the price of 3128B cotton at the public inspection in the Yangtze River and coastal areas was 16,800-17,000 yuan/ton, with a price difference of 100-200 yuan/ton between regions. The prices of cotton by-products such as cotton oil and cotton meal are soaring, hitting a record high for the same period in history. </p
