The operating rate of downstream weavers which use imported cotton yarn as raw materials

The operating rate of downstream weavers which use imported cotton yarn as raw materials moved down at first and then rose in Dec. In the second half month, it increased along with the improvement of orders, but only limitedly. The resurgence of COVID-19 pandemic in Shaoxing, Shangyu, Ningbo and Hangzhou of Zhejiang affected the logistics of cotton yarn. In Guangdong, it slid in the first half month and recovered somewhat later.
