4.2 Yuan Per Catty Cotton Farmers Suspected That Low Cotton Prices Were High And They Were Afraid Of Losing Money.

　 Continuous rains and bitter rains have made autumn crops more bitter for cotton farmers.

　　 Xiajin Wang Ruisheng, a big cotton grower in the county, was helpless with a pile of rotten cotton bolls.

"Even the rain is too heavy, not only rotten peach, the same peach, a water will not open, it will become a cotton petal, cotton petal cotton 1.5 catty, 5 yuan a catty cotton, the price difference is big!" Wang Ruisheng side to reporters pour bitter water, side to Xiajin county supply and marketing agency director Qiu Lichang inquired cotton flower market.

In September 14th, the reporter came to Wang Ruisheng's cotton field in Guanzhuang village, Xiajin city. Wang Ruisheng planted more than 80 mu of cotton this year. He is a well-known cotton expert. "Now the middle cotton is on the open, and the yield reduction of 50-100 Jin per mu is fixed. We can pick 500 catties of seed cotton per mu, and this time we will be able to hit 400 catties." Wang Ruisheng's heartache was due to an account.

With a drizzle, the reporter walked in with Wang Ruisheng. cotton Land. Water has been seen under the ridge, and branches have been removed.

Han Fuhong, another big cotton farmer in Guanzhuang village, broke cotton wool at home. "You can't wait until you pick up the peaches, or the black cotton is even less valuable."

In the Xiang Shun cotton industry, 3 cotton purchasers are selling cotton in the rain, and cotton workers are adding rain pits to the purchased cotton. Xiang Shun cotton, a duty manager told reporters that they began to cotton in September 12th, weighing 4.3 yuan a kilogram, an average of more than 5000 kilograms a day, but no local cotton, all cotton producers in Hebei and other places sent cotton. Local cotton is not listed, first because it can not pick up even rainy weather, and the two is cotton farmers reluctant to sell, waiting to rise point price again.

The continuous rain continued for a week, covering the whole province, and the loss of cotton was huge. Zhao Hongliang, director of the cotton production technology guidance station, said that nearly 11 million 500 thousand mu of cotton in the whole province had been affected by rainy days. Not only Shandong, southern Hebei, and Eastern Henan's cotton producing areas also suffered from continuous rain.

　　 "No more than 5 yuan a pound is a loss."

Cotton prices affect all nerves.

Qiu Lichang, director of Xiajin county supply and Marketing Association, introduced 850 thousand acres of arable land in the county, and planted 550 thousand mu of cotton this year, with 1 mu per capita and more cotton. There are two hundred or three hundred large and small cotton processing plants in the county. The processing capacity is strong, and the local cotton is not enough to eat, so they eat in the surrounding areas such as Hebei. Xiajin has become one of the cotton distributing centers and processing centers.

Qiu Lichang said that Xiajin has a long history of cotton planting, and it is the national high quality cotton yarn production base, known as the "silver Xiajin" reputation. However, because of the high and low cotton prices, it has a huge impact on local farmers and cotton production.

Fan Yuzhu, a cotton processing company in Shuang Miao Town, said that the cotton price in September 5th was 3.9 yuan per catty ~4.1 yuan. Cotton growers are watching, buyers are watching and cotton textile companies are watching. Last year, the price of cotton was more than 3 yuan from the beginning, then it has been high, up to 6.9 yuan a Jin, but the high price time is very short, the vast majority of cotton farmers did not sell high prices. Since the first month of this year, fifteen cotton prices began to decline, the lowest to 3.4 yuan ~3.7 yuan a Jin.

Now cotton farmers in Xiajin do not sell new cotton, they are waiting. Some buyers told reporters that for many years, cotton farmers had the habit of selling cotton, but no matter how cheap they were, they did not sell at the beginning. Cotton growers said that now everything has gone up, and agricultural products have gone up, and cotton has to go up.

Qiu Lichang said that cotton enterprises began to buy when they were more cautious, and they were afraid of losing money. Last year, cotton bought at a high price made many cotton companies lose quite a lot. The acquisition period is expected to be more dispersed than in previous years, and the possibility of centralized selling is unlikely.

Wang Ruisheng felt that the benefits of cotton growing in recent years were acceptable. He sold a maximum of 5.8 yuan a kilogram last March. But the Han Fuhong family in the same village sells better than him. The 30 thousand jin seed cotton is 6.3 yuan a jin of hand, sold for more than 180 thousand yuan. Speaking of this, Han Fuhong wrote happiness on his face. However, more than 170 households in the village sell the price to 4 households, and the rest are about 5 yuan. High priced cotton is only a legend to most cotton farmers. Let many cotton farmers regret that, because cotton prices were good last year, they saved some cotton, and so on, the result was getting lower and lower.

Han Fuhong said, "cotton prices are not easy to say this year, but at least to more than 4.5 yuan to sell, do not want to last year's 6.3 yuan."

Han Fuhong cotton field because it is contracted land, Mu also need to pay 400 yuan contract fee, 200 yuan picking fee, topping, killing core, and fork to work, spend the most time to spend 30 jobs, the cost is 0.5 yuan per catty. "Not selling 5 yuan a kilogram is a loss, the accounts are placed here! The cost of planting cotton is high, time-consuming, labor-intensive and laborious, and it needs to be dealt with 24 times at most, 5 times a day, 90 yuan for medicine, 40 yuan for one mu of plastic film, 50 yuan for seeds, 250 yuan for chemical fertilizer and compound fertilizer, and for watering and herbicide. The total cost is more than 1100 yuan. But the average yield per mu is 400 Jin, which is 1600 yuan at 4 yuan a kilogram. An average of 400 yuan per mu, and 1000 yuan to heaven for high technology and high output! "Han Fuhong's small account book is clear.

　　 Entangled cotton purchase and storage price

although Shandong Cotton in other places is affected by overcast rain, but the main producing areas such as Xinjiang are in good condition. Besides, the cotton market has already been globalized. Shandong's partial cotton sentiment has limited influence on the whole world. Provincial cotton association responsible comrades said.

The provincial cotton association responsible comrades said that this year the global cotton field area increased, the cotton resources are abundant, the domestic area growth, the general growth is good, the total output will be higher than last year, the domestic supply and demand gap will reduce somewhat. At present, textile enterprises are facing difficulties in production and operation, and there is no sign of improvement. There is little possibility that cotton prices will rise substantially in the next few months.

　 This year's first cotton purchase and storage price has made cotton farmers feel at ease and confused.

According to the plan for temporary storage and storage of cotton in 2011, the cotton reserves will be stored and sold in accordance with the standard class (3 grade) lint 19800 yuan / ton storage price.

The price of 4.2 yuan per kilogram of seed cotton has been converted into storage price. Many cotton farmers are not grateful and feel low. A cotton grower from Baima Lake Township told reporters that this price just made us feel the bottom of the mind, but if the good cotton is also the price, I will not sell it. Fan Yuzhu thinks this price makes cotton farmers and cotton enterprises very entangled.

Because of the support of the state's reserve price and the stable price of cotton, the possibility that cotton prices will continue to fall after the new cotton market is very small. But domestic cotton prices will not increase too much, because domestic demand is still insufficient.

At present, the development of the textile industry is not good. The export situation of textile and clothing products has not improved significantly. Qiu Lichang believes that the textile industry is unstable. First, major changes have taken place in the state's regulatory policies. The main performance is the increase in bank interest rates, the increase in reserves, the appreciation of the renminbi, and the cancellation of preferential policies for the backward small and medium-sized cotton textile enterprises. The two is the implementation of the new labor law, so that the employment of enterprises will be subject to more stringent control, the compulsory payment of labor insurance, the rise of labor force, the increase of workers' treatment, the difficulty of recruiting workers and the difficulty of leaving work will further intensify. The three is the rise in energy and raw materials, the increase in spindles, the shortage of raw cotton, and the slow rise in prices of subsequent products, which has led to an increase in capital pressure in cotton textile enterprises, a sharp rise in the cost of enterprises and a sharp reduction in profit margins.
