Cotton Purchase Progress Is Slow &Nbsp; Directly Affects Hebei Cotton Price Fluctuation.

From Hebei Province

"At present, cotton farmers sell less than 20%, and a lot of cotton is piled up at home.

3 yuan per kilogram, the cotton farmers can only save the money

"This year cotton prices are quite low, 3 yuan per catty 7, I intend to see the future price, and then decide whether to sell or not."

Although cotton has been basically picked up, but because of low prices, Qiuxian Xin Ma Town Wen Zhuang village cotton farmers Shen Fu Dong is not anxious to sell.

Qiuxian is one of the major cotton growing counties in Hebei province. The cotton planting area is 463 thousand mu this year, an increase of 10 thousand mu compared with the previous year.

The County Bureau of agriculture analysis, cotton purchase price rose last year, this spring still maintain a higher purchase price, the enthusiasm of cotton farmers to stimulate production, this year the county cotton planting area increased.

The total output of lint is expected to reach 43 thousand tons this year due to the increase in area and unit production.

At present, the purchase price of cotton is about 7.4 yuan / kg, up by about 2.8 yuan / kg.

Due to the gap between cotton purchase price and cotton farmers' expectation, cotton farmers generally have a mentality of reluctant to sell, and the progress of cotton purchase and sale is slow.

It is understood that this year's planting of cotton per mu, cotton farmers put in the physical and chemical costs between 550 to 600 yuan, and if the labor costs, the cost per mu is about 1500 yuan, cotton farmers due to picking and other links also need to hire people, plus contract fees, the cost per Mu is about 2000 yuan; the cotton yield per year is 225 kilograms, according to the current price, the cotton sales income per mu is 1800 yuan, so that cotton farmers are at the edge of losing money or even losing money.

19800 yuan per ton, cotton temporary storage plan has been launched

According to statistics, cotton planting area in our province was 8 million mu last year, and the cotton planting area increased to 9 million 400 thousand mu this year due to price increase.

A recent survey by the provincial Cotton Association shows that farmers' willingness to grow will decrease next year due to price declines and planting cotton, which is expected to return to last year's planting level by about 15%.

How to avoid the recurrence of cotton price "roller coaster"? Yang Shanxing believes that farmers' enthusiasm for planting cotton should be protected.

In order to protect the interests of cotton farmers and stabilize cotton production, the China Cotton Storage and Storage Corporation launched the 2011 cotton temporary storage plan in September 8th. The 2011 cotton temporary storage price was 19800 yuan per ton of standard grade lint to the warehouse.

"This year's temporary purchase and storage price is set according to the ratio of grain and cotton at 1:10, and it feels a little low. If the standard is set according to 1:12, the price of temporary storage and storage will reach 21000 yuan per ton, the average purchase price of cotton per catty is about 4 yuan and 5, the income of cotton per mu will increase by 300 to 400 yuan, and the enthusiasm of cotton farmers to sell cotton and cotton will increase greatly."

Yang Shanxing analyzed that the temporary purchase and storage price is a "double-edged sword". The low price will hurt farmers' enthusiasm in selling and planting, but the market is unacceptable.
