Only Half A Month Later, Cotton Prices Fell By 30% &Nbsp; Cotton Farmers Grew Up In The Mountains.

Recently, cotton farmers in some cotton producing towns and villages in Changyi began to rise because of rising cotton prices.

Observation

Many cotton fields are unpicked.

On the morning of 28, 9 o'clock, the reporter came to the south side of the village of Jiazhuang village, Duchang street, Changyi. The reporter saw on the road leading to the village that there were large fields of cotton fields on both sides of the road, with a rough estimate of more than 1000 mu. Cotton in many cotton fields had not been cleaned yet, and cotton plants were still covered with white cotton flowers, but the reporters found that there was no one in the huge cotton field.

Not only that, but also in some cotton fields, reporters found that many cotton seeds with cotton were pulled up by cotton farmers, and a pile of fallen cotton seeds was poured into the cotton fields.

The reporter interviewed a passer-by villager. The villager told reporters: "now the cotton price has fallen by 2 yuan, and the cotton stored in the house can not be sold. The cotton remaining in the ground is even more closed."

The reporter asked the villagers, "why do cotton farmers pull cotton seeds out of the field?" "some people grow more cotton and more cotton this year. Cotton is almost the same, and the rest is left untouched. They are ready to plant something else."

Subsequently, the reporter interviewed another villager, he reluctantly told reporters: "my family planted 40 mu of cotton this year, nearly 20000 pounds, now all at home, no one to collect ah, cotton processing plants do not, initially 1 jin 7.1 yuan, 7.2 yuan when I did not sell, now has dropped to 1 Jin, 5.1 yuan, and want to sell can not sell.

Now, I don't know how long this price will last. I'm afraid it's going to drop. I've got bubbles all over my mouth these days. I'm looking for ways to sell cotton everywhere! "

Cotton grower

A pile of cotton is not collected.

At 10 a.m., the reporter came to several villagers in the village of Xu Lin Zhuang for an interview.

The yard of the villagers' Uncle Qi's house is stacked with hoarded cotton, which is covered with large plastic sheets.

"Now the weather is so dry that cotton is a little bit spark, and we are all worried all day.

This is the time when cotton was collected this year. Cotton prices fell so much this year that no one came to collect them.

Uncle Qi sighed repeatedly.

Subsequently, the reporter came to the village Aunt Li saw that her house was not only filled with cotton yard, but also a cottage in the east yard of the courtyard was full of cotton.

Aunt Li, using her fork to turn over the pile of cotton, told reporters: "we planted 20 mu of cotton this year, averaging nearly 500 catties per mu, which is more than 10000 Jin of cotton. This year, a cotton dealer in the village did not see it. I asked someone to ask, and everyone said that the price of cotton had to fall, and those who were collecting cotton were waiting for the lowest price."

Entering the home of Mr. Lin, a large cotton farmer in the village of bole, the reporter is like walking into one.

Mr. Lin told reporters, "plus contracted land, I planted a total of 90 mu of cotton this year, and received more than 40 thousand jin.

Although the price of cotton has dropped a little now, the price of lint (seed, a catty cotton seed can produce 4 two lint) is still around 14 yuan per catty. It is estimated that even if it falls again, it will not fall to the price of three or four yuan last year.

My wife now worries about the cotton and is afraid of hitting it in the hand. After all, I planted 90 thousand yuan of cotton this year.

Sometimes I worry, but I have a heart in mind, because the price of lint has not come down. Wait. "

Cotton merchant

When the cotton price is lowest, it will be collected again.

At 11 a.m., the reporter visited a number of cotton processing plants in the double street community of Duchang street, and found that all of these factories were "left in the cold". Mr. Song, the director of a factory, told reporters: "now the cotton price has dropped. In the early stage, we only received a very small batch, just to complete the original order, and now cotton price is one price per day, so we can wait for cotton picking again."

Reporters asked why, the person in charge told reporters: "in mid November, cotton prices were 7.1 yuan per catty, and it was 5.1 yuan per catty at the end of the last ten days, which was reduced by 2 yuan in just a dozen days, and the cotton price was down again. So let's wait and see. Not only is our factory, but other factories are like this."

A staff member of a cotton processing plant on the east side of the Far East Village in Duchang Street told reporters: "most cotton producing villages in Changyi are generally bought by cotton processing plants. A small proportion of cotton is collected by cotton traders. Now the boss of the processing plant has asked us to suspend the cotton gathering, so the cotton in these cotton farmers can not sell at any time."

The reporter asked the staff member: "can you make sure that cotton prices will fall again?" the staff replied, "we don't know this. We will do what the boss arranges."
