Rainfall In Jizhou, Hebei Leads To A Drop In Spot Sales Of Cotton Production.

At present, the author is in Jizhou, Hebei Province, one of the key cotton producing areas in the southeastern Hebei Plain in 2012.

The cotton production was investigated in the cotton field, and it was found that the cotton output in the city was expected to drop by about 5% under the influence of continuous rainfall.

In addition, the city's stable spot sale of cotton for many days has also dropped prices due to speculation.

Cotton growth

In the cotton field near the 106 National Road across the north and south of the city, I saw that the average fruit branches of the cotton plants were 13, with an average boll setting of 20 and an average of 3 buds. All these growth indicators decreased to varying degrees compared with the same period last year.

The main reason is due to the heavy rain in the more than 20 days from late July to early August, resulting in the accumulation of water in the cotton fields, the saturation of soil moisture, the lodging of individual cotton plants, the fall of some bolls, and the delayed bolting of normal bolls, bolting and bolting, which had a negative effect on the growth of cotton at this stage.

Up to the time of the author's release, more than 30% of the peach in the cotton fields were black and even mildew, and the other parts of the peach were broken, boll and boll finished. Most of them were poor quality stiff cotton and rain and rust cotton.

In the course of the investigation, I understand that the cotton farmers have picked about 10 kg / mu, and the quality is poor. The batch picking hasn't started yet. It is estimated that the seed cotton listing in the city should be in the late September and 3~5 days later than usual.

The author notes that the current situation of cotton boll peaches is relatively normal, and the number of bolls has not yet been cracked, and the number is less than that of the same period last year. The number of autumn peach decreased compared with the same period last year, which coincided with the actual rainfall in the early part of this year and much rainfall in the latter part of last year.

Comprehensive analysis, it is estimated that the quality of cotton in 2012 is acceptable, and the output is 5% lower than that in the middle of July.

Cotton sales

The market is widely rumored that the country is about to throw Chen cotton 1 million tons of information, since August 25th, the city has been stable for 20 days of cotton spot sales.

There has been a drop.

On the 28 day, the sales quotations of the 3 class large package of real estate cotton (delivery price, public settlement, with the same ticket) were 18700 yuan / ton, 4 class 17700 yuan / ton, 5 grade 16100 yuan / ton, which were reduced by 200 yuan / ton compared with 24 days.

Due to the poor quality of local cotton and the centralized collection and storage of the country in the coming cotton year, the high quality spot resources circulating in the market are extremely scarce.

If the country throws the store information is true, it will greatly improve the locals.

Poor quality of resources, but a shortage of stocks, will be a fatal blow to the production of lint sales this year.
