When Will Cotton Farmers In The Mainland Get Subsidies?

2015 inland

The scope of subsidies increased in 2014, including Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Gansu, Anhui 9 provinces and Tianjin cities.

The city and other 9 provinces are different from the local financial commitment to subsidize cotton subsidies, in November 2015, the Tianjin Municipal Finance Department announced that it will give cotton farmers 156 yuan / mu subsidy funds, other areas have not yet announced a clear subsidy standard.

It is understood that as of now, Tianjin cotton subsidies have been gradually sent to the hands of cotton farmers, is expected to be released before the Spring Festival.

For the subsidy of 156 yuan / mu, cotton farmers said that although the quota was limited, the government thought cotton farmers thought it was very good to safeguard the vital interests of cotton growers.

Hebei, which is adjacent to the city of Tianjin, has not yet received any news of subsidies. Tianjin cotton farmers have received subsidies in succession, and local cotton farmers express their admiration.

It is understood that at present, not only in Hebei Province, but also in other cotton areas in the mainland.

The purpose of launching the national target price subsidy for cotton is to actively explore the reform of promoting the decoupling of the price formation mechanism of agricultural products from the government subsidies. Under the premise of ensuring the interests of the farmers in the cotton field, the market plays a decisive role in the allocation of resources, rationally guides the production, circulation and consumption of cotton, promotes the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream industries, and consummate the cotton price formation mechanism conforming to the requirements of the national conditions and the current stage of development.

In recent years, the cotton market has been sluggish, cotton prices have continued to fall, cotton growers' cotton planting income has declined, and cotton planting area has dropped considerably.

According to the national cotton market monitoring system survey results, in 2016, the national cotton planting area was 47 million 500 thousand mu, a decrease of 3 million 688 thousand mu compared with the same period, a decrease of 7.2%.

If subsidies can not be put in place in time, cotton farmers' enthusiasm for planting cotton will also be frustrated.

I remember that in 2014, after the announcement of the cotton subsidy standard in the 9 provinces of the mainland in early November, cotton subsidies were issued in the cotton fields in February and the beginning of March.

2015 is the mainland reference.

Cotton target price subsidies for second years, related departments in the subsidy process more experience than the 2014, then when cotton farmers can receive subsidies? It needs to explain that because Tianjin is the local financial subsidies for cotton subsidies, in the allocation of funds, cotton planting area verification and other procedures are relatively simple, so the release progress is earlier than the other 9 provinces.
