The "cotton Craziness" that swept the entire textile market came to an end, and the relevant departments began to consider how to solve the problem of cotton gap.

Deputy director, cotton research center, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences Li you Zhong It is believed that the state should consider the long-term consideration, introduce relevant policies, stabilize the cotton planting area and expand the total output. At the same time, through the input of science and technology, increase the yield per unit area and guarantee the domestic cotton rate of not less than 70%, so as to basically safeguard the safety of the entire textile industry.

It is understood that in order to ensure the supply of cotton, India, Pakistan and the United States and other places have given strong support in policy. Statistics show that India, the largest producer of cotton, has established the lowest supporting price of cotton, and has subsidized cotton development through the India Cotton Corp. Pakistan has also established the price of cotton protection. Since 1994, Mexico has implemented an agricultural plan to subsidize cotton growers for more than three years, with a subsidy of US $73 per mu, and a 129 yuan subsidy for plant protection.

In addition, the US cotton growers enjoy a subsidy of up to 89% from the US government, which sells for $100 each. cotton The government subsidized 89 US dollars to effectively guarantee the stable production of cotton in the United States. Cotton growers in China currently enjoy only 15 yuan per mu of good seed subsidy. Comparatively speaking, the foundation of China's cotton industry is extremely fragile.

Du Min said that the instability of cotton prices is an important reason for the enthusiasm of farmers to grow cotton. The state should adopt a minimum protective price measure for cotton and launch it at an appropriate time to ensure the interests of farmers.

Reporter note: facts have proved that international import can not fundamentally solve the problem. The key issue is how to improve domestic cotton production.

After the fall in cotton prices, cotton farmers in China reached a small climax, but cotton farmers said, "everything is rising, and cotton is falling, and the more it falls, the more it will not sell." At present, it has already appeared. Hoarding cotton Phenomenon, cotton growers are looking forward to prices continue to rise, and processing enterprises think cotton price is too high, do not come to buy. How to grasp the balance between them and take the opportunity to raise the enthusiasm of cotton growers has become a new problem.
