In the first half of the year, the decline in the number

According to data from the Nanjing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in the first half of the year, 1816 batches of knitted garments were exported in Nanjing, valued at US$110 million, and the batches decreased by 15.6% year-on-year, but the amount of exports surged by 79.7%. It is reported that Nanjing exported knitted garments are mainly exported to the United States, the European Union, Canada, Japan and other countries, involving varieties include knitted underwear, knitted T-shirts, baby knitwear, knitted petticoat.

According to the analysis, the sharp increase in the unit price of knitted garments is the key to the increase in the overall amount of knitwear exported in the first half of the year. There are three reasons why the unit price of export knitted garments has risen: First, the price of international raw materials has risen sharply. From the third quarter of 2010, the price of cotton has skyrocketed. In May 2011, the price of cotton has reached 17,000 yuan per ton, and only half of the increase has been as high as 15%. Under the influence of rising cotton prices, the prices of raw materials for knitted garments such as polyester, viscose, and acrylic have also risen, resulting in a significant increase in the unit price of apparel. The second is rising labor costs. The third is the *** appreciation factor, which also affects the increase in export clothing prices.
