Cotton Price Fell By 50% &Nbsp; Cotton Growers Were Pulling Cotton And Planting Wheat.

On the way to Wucheng County in Dezhou City, there are many cotton fields that have been leveled out for planting wheat fields on both sides of the road.

The Economic Herald reporter interviewed in Wucheng County, Dezhou's cotton planting County, learned that because of the lack of money for planting cotton, many cotton farmers have already put the cotton fields in the field.

Cotton planting will be reduced by 20%

At the moment, it is the season of picking and selling cotton.

At this time of the year, in the field, the small traders who bought cotton were everywhere, bargaining and bargaining.

However, the 28 day reporter in Wucheng interview, encountered a few cold and cheerless, all the way hard to find vendors.

In the village of Jia Zhuang West Jia village, Wucheng Town, Wucheng County, Zhou Ziwang and his wife are picking up cotton that has not been picked up in the cotton field.

Zhou Ziwang told the Herald reporter that he had planted more than ten acres of cotton, yielding less than 400 Jin per mu.

"Now all cotton is piled in the house, not sold for a catty, the price is too low, only about 4 yuan a kilogram, selling will lose money."

According to Zhou Ziwang's statement, although the cotton crop failed last year, the price was high and there was no way to lose money.

"But this year is different. The heavy rain in summer has made many cotton bolls die black. The output is not going to go up, and the prices are also dropping."

In addition to cotton, Zhou Ziwang's family also planted more than ten acres of wheat.

"The net income of 1 acres of wheat and corn (wheat and corn) is about 2000 yuan.

What kind of calculation?

Ma Junkai, Deputy Secretary General of the Dezhou Cotton Association, who has been engaged in Cotton Research for more than 20 years, seems that although according to the regulations, there are 15 yuan seed subsidy per mu, but there is no comprehensive subsidy for seed cotton subsidies and agricultural subsidies, and there are 3 kinds of subsidies for total grain per mu.

"If the cotton seed is lost, an allowance of 15 yuan per mu will not help, and the enthusiasm of cotton farmers can not be mobilized."

Ma Junkai said.

Therefore, at present prices, farmers are not only unwilling to sell, but also need to continue to grow in entanglements.

Reporters saw the cotton fields near Zhou Zi Wang, and many cotton fields were levelled out.

Zhou Ziwang said that a total of more than 2000 mu of cotton has been planted in the village of Xi Jia, and now there are more than 500 acres of cotton fields replanted to wheat.

"My family will replant wheat. I just finished ordering wheat yesterday."

Liu Chunlian, a pang Wang Zhuang villager who is adjacent to the Sijia village, said that many cotton farmers in their villages were pulling cotton and planting wheat.

In Ma Junkai's view, the price ratio of cotton and grain in the past is between 12 and 1 to 8: 1. During this interval, farmers are willing to grow cotton, and now the price of wheat is 1 yuan per catty, according to the lowest cotton price of 8: 1, the cotton price should be about 8 yuan per catty, but now there is only 4 yuan up and down, and the cotton grain price ratio is seriously unbalanced.

Ma Junkai said, "because of

Downstream businesses: life is tough

Cotton prices are low, cotton farmers are unhappy, cotton textile enterprises in the downstream of the cotton industry chain are equally unhappy.

Reporters in Wucheng Maotai oil and cotton Co., Ltd., here is also particularly cold.

The parking lot at the entrance was empty, and there was no vehicle to deliver cotton. Only a few people in the factory area were sorting out the cotton they received.

This time last year, there was a long queue of vehicles to deliver cotton, which was once on the road.

Gao Jun Wang, the company's factory leader, told reporters that the two day cotton mill could only receive 10 thousand -2 kilograms of cotton a day, and almost 100 million people in the factory had no work to do.

"Not to mention that in previous years, when prices were higher in the preceding period, they received 200 thousand to 300 thousand kilograms (seed cotton) per day."

According to him, most of the cotton in the factory is collected from Hengshui, Hebei.

"Wucheng county is close to Hengshui, Hebei, where the purchase price of cotton is lower than that of Dezhou, and the land on Hebei is contracted out.

What causes cotton prices to go down? Ma Junkai said that seed cotton lint cotton yarn weaving clothing is all on an industrial chain, just like a grasshopper on a rope, the price affects each other, one falls, others will fall accordingly.

From the present point of view, the most important reason is that because of the economic depression in Europe and America, the cake of China's textile exports has become smaller, and this limited cake has been gradually lost due to China's comparative advantage and has been separated by some countries in Southeast Asia.

Ma Junkai told reporters, "the cost of Chinese textiles has gone up a lot. Since last year, textile orders have been pferred to some low-cost countries in Southeast Asia, which has caused great pressure on China's textile exports, resulting in a substantial reduction in domestic textile orders."
