Oh my God! The water jet looms in this area also don’t get out of the way! The cloth business under the environmental storm: all the workers are gone, and companies from other places are still coming to grab orders. It’s getting harder and harder to make money!

Recently, the storm of water spraying, production restrictions and shutdowns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has struck again! Following the news that Shengze’s water-jet looms have been “running three times and stopping one” for a long time, and Changxing has stopped production for 8 days a month until the end of the year, all the machines in Langxia Village, Wangjiangjing Town, Jiaxing City were shut down at the end of July. In order to eliminate “low-dispersion” textile enterprises and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of textile enterprises, if family workshops do not vacate the production buildings in time and hand them over for demolition, the relevant departments of the town will take measures such as power outages, water cuts, and forced demolition. The relevant notice is as follows:

What impact will such frequent production restriction and suspension measures have?

The income of weaving manufacturers has decreased

It has now entered the off-season, and some gray fabrics fell, but the price of raw polyester filament did not fall but rose. The increased cost of manufacturers, coupled with limited production capacity, directly leads to a significant reduction in profits.

For example, a machine originally had a profit of 100 yuan a day, but the cost increased by 20 yuan, and it was only 80 yuan a day. profit. “Opening three times and stopping one” used to make a profit of 400 yuan for one machine if it was operated for four days, but now it is only 300 yuan for four days. Just from the aspect of “starting three times and stopping one”, the manufacturer will lose so much profit, let alone shutting down all the machines. Therefore, the weaving manufacturers watched helplessly as the machines could not be turned on, and felt psychologically miserable.

Some workers have emigrated

With production suspensions and production restrictions, the problem of worker mobility is also brewing. For example, under the “three days on and one off” policy, textile workers work for three days and have one day off. For textile workers who have not had vacations all year round, this period of time can relax. After all, they are usually so busy at work and cannot leave. However, for most migrant workers, making money is the most important thing. Such frequent production shutdowns mean that output will be reduced and wages will also shrink accordingly.

With the reduction of wages, the mobility of workers has increased. Since water-jet looms in Anhui, Suqian and other places are also in production, some workers will choose to return to their hometowns to work. Boss Bu already had a problem recruiting workers, but now it’s even harder to recruit workers.

Promote foreign products to enter the local market

There is still demand in the market Under the circumstances, the contraction of production capacity in Jiangsu and Zhejiang directly led to insufficient market supply, so this part of the demand was transferred to foreign gray fabrics. It is understood that many conventional fabrics from Anhui, Suqian and other places have already entered the market. Shortages of local supply will soon be filled by supplies from other places. Although some traders prefer to buy local goods (which have a high degree of security), they will also choose inland products if the goods are unavailable, resulting in increased competition pressure from local manufacturers.

Extend order delivery time

For some trades For traders, there may be fixed supplier manufacturers all year round, but when the entire environment restricts production, the delivery time of orders received by traders will be extended, and environmental protection regulations have also slowed down the market transaction rhythm. Manager Chen of Suzhou Zhenglan Weaving said: “Recently, due to production restrictions, the delivery date of orders has beenIt’s been delayed again, and the customers have been urging me, so I’m really anxious.”

Conclusion

On the one hand, the production restrictions and suspensions under environmental protection regulations have caused the profits of weaving manufacturers to decline and the outflow of workers. On the other hand, it has promoted the entry of foreign gray fabrics into the local market and extended the delivery time of orders.

Under the environmental storm, the above situation is really helpless. The weaving boss sees that the machine cannot be started, the traders see that they cannot accept orders, and the workers see that they cannot earn wages. What can be done? Instead of everyone being anxious , it is better to give your busy self a holiday. Because the textile industry has been too hard these years.

Last editor Let me give you a bowl of chicken soup. Life does not have to be sprinting every moment. During the shutdown period, treat yourself as a long vacation. After this period of time, the real beginning.
