Cotton purchasing season is now under way. However, affected by the global economic downturn and the slowdown in textile and garment exports, cotton purchasing price has dropped by 30% compared with last year.

Relevant experts suggest that the relevant departments should intensify the efforts to rescue the market.

Dezhou is one of the key cotton producing areas in the country. The cotton field area has grown to 2 million 890 thousand mu this year, an increase of 10% over the previous year. It is estimated that the whole city has produced 186 kg of lint per mu, a record high.

Cotton is abundant but farmers are unhappy.

Reporters learned from the Dezhou Cotton Association, cotton seed buying season last year, the average seed cotton at 3 per catty.

About 35 yuan, but this year the purchase price is only 2.

30 yuan, down 30% from last year.

"The price of agricultural products has risen sharply this year, and the direct cost of planting one mu of land (fertilizer, seeds, pesticides, irrigated land, arable land, etc.) and labor costs has risen by about 140 yuan over the previous year, but the purchase price of cotton has fallen so much that cotton farmers have at least reduced their income by 300-500 yuan."

The association official said.

It is understood that due to the difference in grain and cotton comparative benefits, cotton farmers are reluctant to sell more obviously. At present, the cotton picking capacity in Dezhou is over 70%, but the purchase amount is only about 25%.

Wang boss is the head of a cotton processing point in Ji'nan. He told reporters that the price of a pound of seed cotton in the market is now 2.

3 yuan to 2.

About 6 yuan.

After the seed cotton is collected, it is first necessary to carry out the work of seed removal. Under normal circumstances, 3 kg of seed cotton can produce 1 jin of cotton, so the cost of such a catty cotton should be around 8 yuan, plus the selling price of artificial labor is 12 yuan a Jin.

This price has dropped considerably compared with the previous two months.

"In August of this year, the purchase price of a jin of seed cotton was still 3.

3-3.

About 5 yuan, I bought it now, after processing, if we sell another 12 yuan a catty, we must lose money. "

The slowdown in textile and garment exports is an important reason for the collapse of cotton purchasing prices.

"Now many textile and garment manufacturers can not receive orders, can not be normal production, so we can not buy cotton."

Dezhou Cotton Association's responsible person said.

Statistics show that in the first 9 months, exports of textiles and clothing to the United States were 192.

400 million US dollars, an increase of only 1.

4%, 28 percentage points lower than the same period last year, while our province exported 17 to the US.

700 million US dollars, an increase of 2.

2%, down 16 from the same period last year.

7 percentage points.

In order to stabilize cotton prices, the industry suggested: first, we should ensure the supply of purchasing funds; two, the state subsidize cotton farmers to protect the interests of cotton farmers; three, support the textile industry to speed up upgrading and upgrading, and get out of business predicament as soon as possible.
