China's domestic cocoon market to remain bullish in 2013

Throughout 2012, and especially since the beginning of the second half of 2012, cocoon price in China continued to show upward momentum and the price touched 370,000 yuan/ton at the beginning of 2013.
 
The short-supply of cocoons is cited as the main reason for the continuous rise in prices and market analysts expect the cocoon price to remain at a high level throughout 2013, as there is enough demand for silk in both Chinese domestic and foreign markets.
 
High cocoon price would increase the cost of raw material for silk enterprises and hence these enterprises would need to adjust their product structure and develop high value-added products to retain their current profit levels.
