On the afternoon of July 17, the Silk Association of Wujiang City convened a director meeting of silk weaving enterprises in the conference room of the Association. There are 12 silk weaving factories to attend the meeting, the main topic of the meeting is the exchange of production and operation of the first half of the year, analyze the trend in the second half, plan the future direction of development. City Silk Association President Cai Xue Xiong informed the city the first half of cocoon, reeling, chemical fiber, textile, printing and dyeing industries such as production and operation of the operation. He pointed out that in the first half of the whole silk textile industry, the continuous appreciation of the renminbi, the reduction of the export tax rebate rate, the increase of bank interest rates, the shortage of funds and the increase in production costs including labor wages, taxes and energy sources made the industry struggling. It is understood that silkworm mulberry production decreased by 16.4%, 14.3% reduction of silkworm cocoon, an overall silk production operation is relatively stable, the output increased by 10% over last year, although participating in the meeting of meager profits, the production situation is better than chemical fiber production. He praised the silk weaving enterprises for their efforts to stabilize the silk production and the achievements made under the circumstances of tighter macroeconomic conditions. In the first half of the year, the plant managers exchanged views on the operation of production and trade in the first half of the year. It is generally agreed that thin silk products are better than thick ones in terms of market prospects and benefits. In terms of production efficiency, Loom is better. In the reflected problems, what is more prominent is that the tax burden has increased compared with the same period of last year. Under the condition of basically stable raw material prices, the rising cost of energy, labor and other factors of production has relatively reduced the profit margin of enterprises; The higher technical requirements of silk and the poor quality of the labor force, the contradiction between the technical workers face the fault restricts the improvement of product quality. For the second half of the operation trend, the factory managers believe that although enterprises are facing more difficulties, but also opportunities for business development; the second half of the month is the foreign orders 8,9,10 months, the real silk exports may be to Increase, and some factory managers think the second half of the year the export of how much, may be reduced, the domestic market is the off-season. The situation is not optimistic. The biggest difficulty the silk industry faces in exporting is the continued appreciation of the Renminbi. There are so many hearts in mind that many enterprises are afraid to pick up foreign orders. In particular, they are afraid to take large orders because the time is prolonged and the exchange rate changes are not certain. Our enterprises should learn from the manufacturers in Huzhou and be good at researching and making use of the national macroeconomic policies and local government policies to plan the enterprises' response measures and development ideas. The changes of the RMB exchange rate, the export tax rebate rate, the production cost changes, Material price fluctuations and so on all aspects of the elements must be included in the overall business plan; do everything possible to improve product quality, improve production efficiency to offset the various aspects of price increases brought about by the loss of efficiency. The directors discussed very warmly. They think that the City Silk Association to build such an exchange platform, so that we exchange information, which is of great benefit to the enterprise. At the end of the meeting, Cai Xixiong, president of the association, further introduced the nature and content of the Silk Association and hoped that all units would cooperate well with the recent research project entitled "Wujiang Silk and Coco Silk Industry Development Report".
