As of October 10th, of the 10 cotton farmers included in the survey, 7 were harvested at 80-85 kg, 2 were in 65-70 kg, and another due to insufficient fertilizer input, the cotton fields showed premature senescence, dehydration and early maturing, and the harvest reached 125 kg, accounting for 70% of the households' predicted output.

However, as the price of the purchase continues to rise, the quality of the early cotton is too good. Quality of cotton Generally, tight control, especially for water control, requires less than 12%. Therefore, although the sale of cotton growers has accounted for 70% of the total harvest, the overall progress has caught up with the same period last year, but the purchasing volume of the enterprises is still not large. By the evening of 10, only 250 thousand kilograms of enterprises were purchased and the average daily purchase amount was less than 30 thousand kilograms. Most cotton growers are worried about the fall in cotton prices, and their enthusiasm for sale is generally high. Of course, a small number of households have not yet sold one or two.

Cotton brokers first went to the door to purchase, and the other cotton (which was affected by rainy weather in mid August after continuous rain for many days) was basically priced at about 6.80 yuan per kilogram. With the improvement of cotton quality, prices are rising every day. After opening the scales, the average purchase price of seed cotton was 10, 329, 429 and 527 in the past nearly 329 days. The seed cotton purchase price of 36-37% and 11-12% were 10.80 yuan, 10.60 yuan and 10.20 yuan respectively. The weighted average of the whole county was 10.50 yuan, which was 4.20 yuan higher than 6.30 yuan in the same period last year. Even if cotton farmers sell at home, they will earn less than 0.30 yuan a kilogram per kilogram, but the increase is still more than 60%. In order to avoid the risk of operation, enterprises are very rational and do not appear to raise prices or reduce the quality standard of purchase.
