Swedes From Goose Down In China, Swedes Return

A television broadcast in Sweden accused Chinese companies of producing products.

The source of the product is suspected of pulling out goose feather, causing local consumers to make Chinese feather products.

According to reports, Swedish TV-4 broadcast some scenes of "down Plush" of Chinese feather and down products enterprises in the February 1st program "cold facts". The scene was switched from the screaming geese to the consumers.

The household items such as feather and quilt, sleeping bags and other bedding items have announced 34 lists of enterprises that recognize the production or sale of live plucking, of which 16 are Chinese enterprises.

According to the program, 90% of the surveyed suppliers acknowledge the production or sale of live plucking products, and speculate that "down to 50% to 80% of feather down products".

This program has been raging in Sweden. Some consumers have begun to make down the down products with live plucking. They have begun to make down products. Some of the down products sold in some Swedish stores are required to return. The world's largest furniture manufacturer, IKEA, announced that customers who bought down products from IKEA's global chain stores could return their products. Many international buyers and operators also expressed the need to reconsider the future purchase plan.

Last year, Swedish television reported that the phenomenon of "living cashmere" had led to the whole process.

Cashmere sales fell by 30%.

Under the influence of the international financial crisis and the unfavorable factors of warm winter in recent years, China's down industry is not in good condition: raw wool, bedding and

Exports fell by 4.3%, 6.6% and 9.2% respectively.

Now facing the accusation of "plucking alive", the China feather and down Industry Association sent a letter to Swedish television station to clarify that the 13 member units of the China feather and down industry association did not export live plucking products to Sweden and other countries in recent years.

In addition, the association also pointed out that China's eiderdown production accounted for 90% of the total output of the down and only 10% of goose down. Mainly because Chinese people like to eat ducks, and the growth cycle of ducks is short and the output is large.

The price of live raised goose is about 1.5 times that of ordinary goose. It mainly produces high-grade feather down bedding sold to the Japanese market.

Since the price of live plucking is higher than that of ordinary pile, Chinese enterprises will not take the initiative to sell live plucking and their products if they are not required by customers.

At present, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania and other countries have a common phenomenon of plucking, but if they are not careful to remove, damage or infect the goose skin, they should also give antibiotics to the goose and feed them.

Statistics show that Chinese feather and down enterprises exported Swedish products worth 22 million US dollars (about 3321 Wan Xinyuan) last year, and exported to Europe totaling 720 million US dollars, accounting for 37% of the export volume of China's down industry.
