高企的棉花价格增加了纺织厂的问题

 

High cotton prices add to textile mills' problems

The sudden spurt in cotton prices this month has added to the problems faced by textile mills, particularly in southern Indian states of Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

Price of Shankar-6 variety of cotton has increased from Rs 37,300 per candy of 356 kg at the beginning of this month to Rs 40,950 per candy on June 20, 2016, showing a rise of nearly 10 per cent.

Cotton price remained in stable range of Rs 32,000 per candy to Rs 34,000 per candy last year. In January 2016, it was Rs 34,000 per candy, and slowly increased to Rs 34,300 per candy in April this year.

But the price increase has acquired momentum this month, especially during the two-day period from 15^th to 17^th June. The average price of Shankar-6 was Rs 39,850 per candy on June 15, which rose to Rs 40,925 on June 17, up Rs 1,075.

This sudden increase in prices has added to the already existing problems faced by textile and spinning mills, such as slowdown of exports, and devaluation of Chinese renminbi last August. The problem is especially acute for those spinning mills that do not have enough raw material stock.

To meet this situation, textile and spinning mill owners in southern Indian states have decided to shut down operations twice a week, according to media reports.

高企的棉花价格增加了纺织厂的问题

本月棉花价格的突然迸发增加了纺织厂所面临的问题,尤其是在印度南部州的泰伦加纳,泰米尔纳德邦和安得拉邦。
Shankar-6各种棉花价格从月初的每356公斤37300卢比增加到6月20日的每单位40950卢比 ,显示上升了近10%。

去年棉花价格保持在稳定范围的每单位32000卢比到34000卢比。2016年1月为每单位34000卢比,今年4月慢慢增加到每单位34300卢比。

但是价格的增加本月获得了势头,特别是在6月15日至17日的两天里。6月15日Shankar-6的平均价格是每单位39850卢比。而在6月17日则增长了1075至每单位40925卢比。

这突然上涨的价格已经增加了现有纺织厂所面临的问题,如出口放缓以及去年8月中国人民币的贬值。对于那些没有足够原材料库存的纺织厂来说，问题尤为严重,。

据媒体报道，为了应对这种情况, 印度南部州的纺织厂老板已经决定每周两次关闭操作。
