The encroachment of e-commerce on the profits of physical enterprises is absolutely not aimed at any industry or enterprise, and it is absolutely all-encompassing. Therefore, many labor-intensive industries that used to be in the cities can only get the opportunity to survive and develop in two ways: one is to move to the rural areas;The first is to rely on science and technology to improve production efficiency, such as sock processing.
In fact, the cost of labor in rural areas has also risen in recent years, but for low-income people such as women, the weak, the old and the young who stay in rural areas in rural areas, socks making is also an opportunity.
In particular, Zhuji, Zhejiang, which is known as the "World Hosiery Capital", has developed a family hosiery industry and workshops with services such as equipment leasing, technical guidance and product sales in the east-west cooperation activities, so that the masses can work at home and realize the goal of earning money and taking care of the family, and taking into account both children and childrenAt the same time, it also completed the transfer of Zhuji hosiery enterprises to the central and western regions.
According to the "Muchuan Release" report in November 2023, in Songlin Village, Muxi Town, Muchuan County, a small farm yard with a signboard of "Jin's Hosiery Industry", Jin Shijun, who has been working abroad for more than 20 years, rented 4 hosiery looms after returning to his hometown to take care of the elderly at home, and produced more than 6,000 pairs of socks in just over a month, and more than 4,000 pairs have been sold.
It is understood that local individuals lease hosiery machines through the East-West Collaborative Hosiery Incubation Project, free of charge in the first year, and charge a rental fee of 4% of the equipment from the second year. In the Nongba community of Muxi Township, Su Shoubing, another family hosiery processing workshop, rented 16 hosiery machines. He said that the socks produced are of high quality and low price, and they are very popular in Muchuan County.
At present, Muchuan has built 10 family socks processing workshops, each family workshop produces more than 40,000 pairs of socks annually, with an output value of more than 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and each household can achieve a monthly income increase of more than 5,000 yuan.
This income is still good for ordinary rural families, and the key is relative stability. But on another level, if you want stability, you should not think about usury, and everyone understands this truth.
In fact, socks as a daily necessities that everyone in urban and rural areas can not do without, the market is very large. In particular, the profit of socks is not high, but there is a great demand, and it has a cost advantage compared with the socks that are transported to the local area over long distances. Moreover, as long as the quality is good and the style is new, it can also cover the national market through the Internet.
In addition, relying on the family's idle house, the investment in hosiery production is mainly in the purchase of equipment. The investment in equipment has a great relationship with production performance, some hand-cranked machines, ** is relatively low, thousands of yuan can be bought, but the production capacity is also relatively low, and the efficiency is not high. The fully automatic integrated hosiery knitting machine will cost tens of thousands.
If you do homework, according to your actual situation, one is the performance of the purchased equipment, and the other is the amount of purchased funds to determine the amount of investment funds. The scale is a little smaller, and twenty or thirty thousand can be started.
Under normal circumstances, a machine can produce 400 pairs of bag socks, 300-350 pairs of ** socks and a higher number of boat socks in 24-hour continuous operation.
The production of socks is also related to the size and model of socks. Baby socks produce about 450 pairs per machine every day, and about 164,250 pairs a year**Boat socks produce about 350 pairs per machine per day, and about 127,750 pairs a yearEach machine produces about 300 pairs of high socks every day, and about 109,500 pairs a year.
In addition to the number of processed socks, the factors that affect making money are the raw materials for the production of socks, as well as the category, quality and grade of socks.
According to the raw materials used in woven socks, they can be divided into cotton yarn socks, wool socks, nylon**, elastic nylon**, nylon cotton blended socks, cotton-nitrile blended socks and natural socks.
According to the weaving organization of socks, it can be divided into two categories: plain socks and flower socks. Single-needle socks are one-color flat needle tissue socks. Flower socks can be divided into jacquard socks, that is, single-sided jacquard tissue;Embroidered socks, that is, embroidered yarn tissue;Mesh yarn socks, that is, overhead yarn organization;Horizontal stockings, i.e. transverse connecting tissues of different colors;Terry socks, i.e. terry tissue, etc.
There are also two kinds of weaving together, such as jacquard embroidered socks, jacquard horizontal socks, mesh embroidered socks, etc. Plain socks knitted with double needles are ribbed tissue. Flower socks are jacquard socks (double-sided jacquard tissue), embroidered socks, plain concave and convex composite tissue), embroidered concave and convex socks (embroidered concave and convex composite tissue).
If the production of low-grade socks is positioned, the cost and profit are relatively low;While positioning the production of high-end socks, the cost and profit of a pair of socks are relatively high.
Theoretically, the profit of low-grade socks is about 600 yuan a day, and there are more than 200,000 yuan a yearFor high-end socks, the profit is between 3,000 yuan and 6,000 yuan a day, and the profit can reach more than 500,000 yuan a year.
Of course, this is only a theoretical value, and the actual profit also needs to consider factors such as production efficiency and sales.
Although the profit margin of the hosiery industry is relatively low, the market demand is large and stable. For start-up entrepreneurs, the hosiery business is a good industry to learn and gain experience.
