Hebei Cotton Association: Do Not Let Cotton Farmers' Interests Hurt In The New Year.

Year after year farming, harvest every year, new

The cotton can be described with a harvest picture.

However, many cotton farmers are worried and unhappy about the cotton that is about to be thrown out.

They worry about the next month's weather and worry about whether the price of new cotton will be moderately stable this year, and worry about whether cotton can sell as expected.

I hope there will be a weather.

A total of ten cotton fields were visited in five counties of Jizhou, Nangong, Weixian County, Linxi and Qiuxian. The total area of cotton planting in these five counties was about 2 million 200 thousand mu, accounting for 24% of the total area of Hebei.

In the large cotton fields at the village of Zhanghuai Township in Jizhou, we chatted with the Song Zhenwen couple who were pruning in the fields.

Their families planted 18 mu of cotton, including 7.5 acres of contracted farmland.

The cotton of his family grows very neatly, the cotton plant height is 85 - 90 centimeters, the root flower is also the peach 5--6, the peach peach 7--8, the autumn peach 4 - 5, the cotton peach is big and full.

Song Zhenwen said, according to years of experience, Fu Qian peach sitting 5, per mu yield of seed cotton will not be less than 500 Jin, in June did not spray flowers in the rain.

We have roughly calculated that his cotton yield per mu will not be less than 600 Jin.

Seeing us chatting, 5 or 6 cotton farmers in the nearby cotton fields came together.

A cotton farmer named Song said that mu yield will not be less than 550 Jin this year.

We saw the same scene in the cotton field of Liu Jinling's family in Xiaoshi village, Nangong.

He planted 16 mu of cotton, including 8 acres of contracted farmland.

Liu Jinling said that there are about 3500 acres of cotton planted in Nangong. The last year there were 4000 --4500 trees, and the weather was bad. The peach was completely mouldy, and 3500 more than 4000.

He estimated that his family's cotton yield was about 550 Jin.

The situation of other plots in Nangong is similar to that of Liu Jinling's.

The growth of cotton in Weixian County, Linxi and Qiuxian is also good, but some cotton fields are not growing well, some of them are too big, and the peach is relatively small. The number of peach in each plant is 13 to 15, and the yield of seed cotton is about 450-500 Jin.

The research also commissioned the Cangzhou cotton association to conduct a survey of Cangzhou's situation.

Their research results are as good as we can see. Cotton grows better than last year, and the estimated yield per mu is about 450 - 500 kg.

Since the emergence of cotton this year, it has been well developed, with moderate rainfall and no major insect pests.

At present, cotton is at the critical time of Peach Growth and development. If the weather is normal, the flowers will bloom after 15 days, and the flowers will bloom in the end of August.

The cotton growers said, "now I hope there will be no continuous rain. If there is no continuous rain for 20 days, this year will be a bumper harvest year."

If 450 mu per mu of seed cotton is produced, 36 cotton lint will be calculated, and the output of lint per mu will reach 80 kilograms. The total output of the whole province will reach 750 thousand tons, the best level in recent years.

Looking forward to a stable and good price.

According to investigation, the cost of physical and chemical conversion of cotton is about 500 yuan / mu this year. The cost of contracted farmland is 300 yuan / mu 450 yuan / mu, and the labor cost is 200 yuan / mu, which is slightly higher than that of last year.

If seed cotton yields 500 Jin per mu, according to 4 yuan / Jin, gross income is 2000 yuan, excluding cotton farmers' own work, the mu income is about 1000 yuan, which is lower than the grain income.

The price of new cotton is generally reflected by cotton farmers. 4 yuan / Jin is the bottom line, 4.5 yuan / Jin is more reasonable, and 5 yuan / Jin is their expectation.

"If we were like this year again, we might not grow cotton."

Cotton farmers generally have a sense of fear about the violent upheaval of prices, and hope that the state's regulation of cotton will be greater and more accurate, so that prices will be stabilized.

The cotton grower asked, why is the cotton grading now? In Nangong, Weixian County and Qiuxian, we went to several 400 type processing plants. There were not a few people in the factory. There was a lot of weeds and the machine had not been overhauled.

At a processing plant in Xiangcheng, Qiuxian, we couldn't find the boss. We chatted with the doorman: "the boss said," I don't know how to do this year.

I made a little profit in the early part of last year, but the cotton sold just now has lost a lot. "

When it comes to the two dealers, they say that they are collected through two dealers. If they are graded, they will not be able to be collected.

Many cotton farmers in the survey said, "in the past, 1, 2, 3 grades of flowers were cleared up, and now everything is mixed up. What is going on in the three horses? Why does the country not care?"

Hebei cotton was once a sign of cotton quality throughout the country. It has always been favored by textile mills, but now it is no longer what it used to be.

Besides the weather factors, the quality control of cotton purchasing and processing is very important.

In recent years, the quality control of the processing links has been effective, but the acquisition link is obviously out of control, especially the massive involvement of the two dealers, which seriously reduces the quality of seed cotton.

All the way down, there was a lot of emotion, both the joy of harvest and the worry of cotton farmers' income instability.

In the year of 2010/2011 cotton, the main players in the market were hit hard, and they were trapped in the mire.

Cotton growers are the forefront of the cotton industry chain. To realize the sustainable development of cotton industry, we must protect the interests of cotton farmers.

At the present stage, the most important thing to protect the interests of cotton farmers should be the normalization and openness of State purchasing and storage.

The cotton farmers' choice is less or no seed when the income of cotton seed is not expected.

This is an important reason for the instability of cotton prices.

State purchasing and storage should be normalized and open, and prices can be fixed for a year.

Only in this way can the cotton farmers clearly calculate the expected income, eliminate the fear of price fluctuations, reduce the risk of cotton seed, and effectively protect the interests of the cotton farmers.

The two is to encourage cotton processing plants to carry out joint operation with cotton production professional cooperatives and cotton farmers, so as to achieve benefit linkage and benefit sharing in production and processing links.

The introduction of the national cotton protection price has made this kind of union possible.

Three, we should give full play to the role of trade associations to solve the problem of cotton farmers' information blocking and not knowing the process of cotton price formation.

The information pmission to cotton growers is the focal point for the cotton trade associations at all levels to play a role.

Trade associations should organize more training courses on relevant contents, popularize relevant knowledge and technology, and enhance the ability of cotton farmers to use modern management and information technology to prevent risks.

Four, we should put the regulation of the two dealers on the agenda. Whether the administrative departments for Industry and commerce can implement the registration system, issue a temporary cotton collecting license, supervise by the inspection institute and the cotton processing plant, first manage the adulteration and make the fake, straighten out the acquisition links, and achieve the grading and grading, the superior cotton and the superior price.
