Cheap cotton price would pressure on VSF yarn producers

摘要

Yarn producers using viscose staple fibre (VSF) say the cheap prices of cotton exert price pressure on their products, namely 100 per cent viscose yarn/blends as the softening raw cotton prices have forced many VSF spinners migrate to cotton yarn spinning. "At least 10-15 per cent of the spinners who used to produce 100 per cent viscose or viscose-cotton blended yarn have chosen to shift to cotton yarn production this year because of the easy availability of cotton and the lower raw cotton prices," said Mr P. Selvaraj, proprietor of a 100 per cent viscose yarn producing company.
