According to statistics of Changzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau, as of the end of August this year, Changzhou, Jiangsu has been Imported silk The 35 batch, 297 tons, the value of $2 million, up 585%, 1137.5% and 287.5%, respectively, over last year's total imports. The import volume of silk is expected to exceed 500 tons this year, the highest in history.

It is understood that the main reason for the surge in imports of silk is domestic. Silkworm cocoon The quantity of raw silk decreased. Influenced by the international financial crisis, the price of silkworm silk was lower last year. Since the beginning of this year, the world economy has warmed up, and domestic and foreign market demand has been rising. Due to the tight stock of dry cocoons and the drought in five provinces in Southwest China, the output of cocoons has been seriously affected, and the supply of silk is in short supply. Prices have risen steadily. In just over a year, it has risen from 160 thousand yuan per ton to 330 thousand yuan, or more than 100%, resulting in a sharp increase in the cost of silk production enterprises. The cocoon output of neighboring countries such as Kyrgyzstan and India is relatively stable and the price is relatively moderate. Therefore, domestic silk production enterprises have imported large quantities.
