Cotton Mills Find Themselves In A Dilemma Between The Inside And Outside Cotton Prices.

The policy of temporary cotton purchase and storage for two years, less than P, has now come to a time of change.

This policy originally aimed at stabilizing the domestic cotton market and protecting the interests of cotton growers has now fallen into the "three lose" situation of cotton growers, cotton spinning enterprises and the government: cotton growers have not actually benefited; cotton spinning enterprises are in a predicament both inside and outside the cotton price gap; the government's high cost of collecting and storing has become a financial burden.

However, at present, the highest voice of alternative purchasing and storage policy is cotton farmers' direct subsidy, and they also face various problems in terms of operability.

< p > < strong > forced temporary "temporary collection and storage" < /strong > /p >

< p > "cotton purchase and storage policy, in short, is a short-term policy forced to be long-term, and a contingency plan is forced to normalize."

Gao Fang, executive vice president and Secretary General of the China Cotton Association, told reporters that the original policy design was the time when the cotton market was short of oversupply.

< /p >

< p > "but it is not envisaged that this policy has been implemented for three consecutive years.

To such a degree, the implementation of this policy will become a disadvantage if the advantages of a person are prolonged. "

< /p >

"P" Gao Fang said the "drawback" of the policy of collecting and storing the capital, first of all, this policy caused domestic cotton prices to be far higher than foreign prices.

At present, the difference between inside and outside cotton price is as high as 6000 yuan / ton.

"P > a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "" target= "" target= "_blank" > textile < /a > Industrial Federation, vice president of the Industrial Federation, said that the high price difference at home and abroad at home and abroad makes the export of yarn and cloth products in the domestic enterprises decline in the global competitiveness, and the profit is difficult.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that the purchase and storage of cotton is the acquisition of processed lint, rather than directly from cotton farmers to buy seed cotton.

Therefore, the cotton purchase and storage policy has directly protected the profits of cotton processing enterprises. Because of the profit shifting, the cotton farmers' benefit from this policy is not large enough to protect the interests of cotton farmers.

< /p >

< p > can directly prove that cotton growers have little benefit. The fact is that since the implementation of the purchase and storage policy, the enthusiasm of domestic cotton growers has not risen or fallen.

According to China Cotton Association's cotton planting intention survey data in March, it is estimated that the total area of cotton planting in China will be 68 million 460 thousand mu in 2013.

According to the weighted average of cotton planting area of cotton farmers surveyed, the average planting intention of cotton growers in the whole country decreased by 6.4%.

< /p >

< p > at the same time, at present, the state has bought cotton at a high price and sold cotton at a lower price than the reserve price. The purchase and storage at a high price also caused the country's storage and storage department to have the largest cotton inventory in the world, which caused great financial burden to the state.

< /p >

< p > < strong > cotton farmers direct subsidy operation is difficult. < /strong > < /p >

"P", said Du min, a rural economic research center of the Ministry of agriculture, said that the cotton purchase and storage policy failed to achieve the expected goals and effects. "I think it can brake."

< /p >

< p > it is understood that the views of many ministries and commissions on adjusting cotton purchase and storage policy are basically the same. The highest voice in alternatives is cotton farmers' direct subsidy policy.

According to Gao Yong, vice president of China Federation of textile industry, after more than two years of appeals, the cotton farmers' direct subsidy policy has been loosened, and more than ten cotton related departments have unified their ideas.

< /p >

< p > textile industry believes that cotton farmers' direct subsidy can not only guarantee the enthusiasm of cotton growers, but also provide a stable source of raw materials for cotton producers.

It is understood that the United States and other countries also implement cotton subsidies directly to domestic cotton.

For a long time, the US government has subsidized cotton farmers in various ways, including production subsidies, sales subsidies and export subsidies which have been used but have been cancelled.

< /p >

< p > Gu Qingliang, a professor at Donghua University, thinks that the starting point of cotton farmers' direct subsidy is good and progress, but cotton farmers' direct subsidy is very difficult to operate.

How to determine the standard of subsidy? Under what circumstances should we subsidize? The decentralization and individualization of Chinese cotton farmers will bring many difficulties to cotton farmers.

< /p >

< p > "cotton farmers direct subsidy need to have a good direct subsidy mechanism design, and must be considered comprehensively."

He said.

< /p >

< p > Du Min said that the new cotton production support policy, including cotton farmers' direct subsidy, must take into account the particularity of cotton.

"We have calculated the clothing problem of one billion and three hundred million people. According to our basic demand, our cotton (planting volume) should be 80 million mu, at least 70 million mu.

This amount can not be lost. "
