The Dominant Cotton Producing Areas Need To Maintain Their Advantages.

Yancheng City, one of the dominant cotton producing areas in the country, has seen another drop in cotton planting area this year.

According to Sheyang County Cotton Association 2012

The survey shows that the cotton planting area in the county will drop to its lowest level in history.

The results of special investigation by Dafeng related departments also show that the cotton planting area will drop by 20% this year compared with last year.

Insiders pointed out that the advantages of the cotton producing areas should be maintained, otherwise, the advantage of reconstructing advantages will be lost.

It is the basic policy of the country and the dominant producing area is the main force of stabilizing cotton.

The agricultural technology workers in the cotton area are even more worried about the fact that not only the cotton planting area has been shrinking, but also cotton farmers have been out of sight.

Cotton planting is a job with many jobs, long cultivation management cycle and high technical requirements. For a long time, there are quite stable and considerable cotton planting experts in the old cotton growing area.

As these cotton planting experts go on and on and go out of cotton every year, many villages have broken down. Young people are seldom willing to bear hardships to wait on cotton.

Therefore, in some villages or failing to implement the scientific multi cropping system, the density of cotton seedling pplanting is too sparse, or the cotton fields can not be managed after the disaster. In order to reduce the cost of planting cotton, the input of fertilizer and labor is obviously insufficient, so that some farmers produce only 200 Jin of left and right cotton seeds per mu at the end.

The cotton association of Sheyang suggests stabilizing cotton from stabilizing cotton farmers.

One is the early perfection

Policy, and according to the reasonable cotton grain price ratio, appropriately raise the cotton purchase and storage price, expand the storage scale.

The two is to raise the standard of subsidized cotton planting.

According to the grain subsidy method, we should increase the Cotton Subsidy Project and raise the subsidy standard for cotton varieties.

Three, we should further strengthen the support for the construction of demonstration bases for high quality cotton production, and promote the establishment of "high-yield" activities in cotton production and improve the yield per unit area.

Four is to increase investment in cotton planting technology innovation.

We must establish a long-term mechanism for cotton science and technology input, set up a special financial subsidy fund, increase the award and supplement of cotton seed development, high-yield cultivation techniques and cotton machinery operations, and focus on cotton production areas, cotton growers and cotton farmers' professional cooperatives.
