The Cost Of Cotton Planting Increased In 2012, And Cotton Farmers Were Reluctant To Sell.

< p > at this time of year, it is a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > cotton enterprise < /a > the vigorous period of buying cotton in large quantities. If the market is good, it will be sold out early.

However, this year, cotton production in Huimin County was generally reduced due to heavy rainfall. Cotton farmers had hoped that cotton prices could rise, but cotton prices were not high.

Cotton prices are low, cotton farmers are reluctant to sell, and cotton enterprises are reluctant to buy. At present, the a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton < /a > Huimin County is facing the embarrassing situation of the prosperous market because of the fluctuation of cotton < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_cj.asp" > price < /a >, and the cotton planting area is decreasing year by year.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 1, affected by bad weather, cotton quality decreased < /strong > < /p >

< p > recently, snowy white cotton piled up into a hill in a vacant house of Li Bin, a large cotton farmer in Tai Village, Sun Wu street.

When asked about the cotton harvest this year, Li Bin said with some frustration: "this year, not only the output is low, but the price is also low, and the quality of cotton is also not good.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that Li Bin contracted out 40 mu of wasteland in the village and became the "king of cotton".

This year, only more than 180 kilograms of cotton per mu is produced. Although the price is slightly higher than that of last year, the cotton grade can not reach the national cotton standard because of the wide range of high intensity rainfall and cloudy weather.

< /p >

< p > 7 and August this year, there was a continuous heavy rainfall in Huimin County. In some areas of cotton, there was a phenomenon of rotten peach due to the accumulation of water in the field.

At the same time, after two successive typhoons, cotton lodging occurred in many places.

Affected by rain and wind, cotton production in these areas has been reduced to some extent.

< /p >

< p > strong > 2, the cost of planting cotton increased, and farmers' reluctant sale was significantly less than /strong > /p >

< p > this year, the village of the West Village of Madian town grows 1500 mu of cotton. All the land in the village is planted with cotton and few cotton is sold.

< /p >

< p > village branch secretary Liu Jingquan calculated a cost account: the cost of an acre land is about 1000 yuan, of which the contract fee is 500 yuan, and seed, pesticide, plastic film and fertilizer are 550 yuan.

"More investment and less output" is the current situation.

If there is no income from watermelon interplanting in cotton fields, there will be few families in the village.

Liu Jingquan said.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that the price of cotton seed bought by cotton brokers this year is 4 to 4.3 yuan per catty, and the quality requirement of purchase is higher.

< /p >

< p > because of the increase of planting costs, the cotton farmers feel somewhat lower and the selling mood is obvious for this price.

In addition, over the past few years, cotton farmers have the habit of selling cotton, but no matter how cheap they are, pick them up and put them away first.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 3, the market is very depressed, and cotton enterprises appear to purchase /strong /strong > < /p >.

< p > in late October of this year, Sun Wu Street Changsheng textile company bought a cart of cotton at the price of 18 thousand yuan per ton, compared with last year's cotton price of 20 thousand to 30 thousand tons per ton. But as a cotton textile enterprise, the textile industry did not feel any lightest.

< /p >

< p > because of the sudden cold of cotton yarn market, the shuttle yarn has dropped to more than 20 thousand yuan per ton, compared with 40 thousand yuan at the highest time last year, the profit has been greatly reduced.

According to Lv Zhaojun, the head of the company, the enterprises are reluctant to start work at present, mainly in order to retain workers and maintain their business relationship with their old customers.

The product is sold at 28 thousand yuan / ton, and the cost price is more than 29 thousand yuan / ton, which basically belongs to "selling at a loss."

< /p >

< p > according to Qi Fuguo, general manager of national cotton Co., Ltd., Huimin County, there were more than 20 cotton enterprises in the town at the same time.

"We are mainly going to store cotton.

The cotton stored in the central store is stored every day, and we can only take it on the phone. We have to pay for the purchase and storage of the funds. We can not afford to run it without a $20 million.

Without taking pictures, we dare not open up acquisitions. "

Qi Fuguo said.

< /p >

< p > strong > 4, cotton planting area decreased year by year < /strong > < /p >

< p > according to Chen Wenxiang, Huimin County is a large cotton producing county. In 90s, when the cotton planting area was the largest, it reached 650 thousand mu.

Huimin County last year cotton planting area is 339 thousand mu, this year is 246 thousand and 300 mu, it is estimated that in 2013 the county cotton acreage of about 200 thousand acres.

< /p >

< p > for the reason that the cotton area has been shrinking year by year, Chen Wenxiang thinks that cotton farmers are unwilling to bear the psychological harm caused by price fluctuations on the one hand and no longer grow cotton on the one hand. On the other hand, cotton is much more employed than wheat and corn, and wheat and corn are also subsidized policies, so that farmers receive preferential policies.

< /p >

< p > "imports are increasing, while domestic cotton is used up, prices continue to fall, cotton growers are unwilling to sell, and cotton enterprises can not get domestic cotton and can only turn to imported cotton, thus forming a vicious circle."

In Chen Wenxiang's view, the impact of cotton imports is also an important reason for the disappearance of the comparative advantage of domestic cotton production.

As for how to improve the enthusiasm of cotton growers, Chen Wenxiang thought that the state should increase its support for cotton spinning enterprises and introduce measures to protect cotton farmers, such as raising cotton prices, increasing cotton subsidies and giving subsidies to students.
