　　According to China Customs statistics: In August 2021, Chinese companies exported 202.907 tons of wet and dry pupae, with a value of US$277,966 and an average price of US$1,370/ton.

　　Affected by the continuous increase in the“dual control of energy consumption”, Guangxi’s electricity curtailment measures have been upgraded, and silk reeling and other companies have recently received notices of curtailment. It is understood that for the production arrangements during the 11th period and beyond, most companies have stated that they have no plans yet and will make arrangements based on the electricity consumption measures next month. As the printing and dyeing factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang adjusted production before the end of the month, the load on the weaving industry dropped to less than 50%. The pressure on finished product inventory remains unabated, and the enthusiasm for purchasing raw materials is not high.

　　According to China Customs statistics, the import and export volume of silk products in August was US$148 million, an increase of 50.41% year-on-year. Among them, the export value was 117 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 17.27% month-on-month and a year-on-year increase of 52.46%; the import value was 31.19.99 million U.S. dollars, a decrease of 1.84% month-on-month and an increase of 43.20% year-on-year. From January to August, the total import and export volume of real silk products was US$1.077 billion, a year-on-year increase of 25.59%, accounting for 0.49% of China’s total textile and apparel import and export. In terms of exports, due to the unfavorable effects of rising ocean freight rates and prolonged transportation turnaround time, overseas orders have shrunk.

　　Affected by the continued decline in the market, the recent downstream negotiation time has been lengthened, and the Guangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang factories have restricted production and stopped production. The market is still relatively light, and the market sentiment is strong. It is expected that raw materials will be purchased cautiously. As winter orders are placed one after another, double “11” and the Christmas season is approaching, demand pressure is expected to be relieved, and the cocoon silk market will also improve.
