Hebei Cotton Enterprises Actively Respond To The New National Standard Cotton Market Weakness

The rain continued for about a week in Nangong, Guangzong, Weixian County and other parts of southern Hebei. < p >

At present, it is in full bloom of cotton buds in the locality. This rainfall has caused some damage to local cotton growth.

Due to rainy weather, pollinated flowers have not been pollinated recently. About 5% of the buds have not been able to bell, some flower buds have fallen off, and the total number of buds has been reduced, which directly affects the yield of seed cotton.

< /p >

< p > at present, the local cotton plant is 80-90 centimeters tall, with 6-8 branches per plant, and 2-3 branches per peach.

Generally speaking, the local cotton grows better. If the weather is good in the late period, the cotton plant will return to normal growth.

< /p >

< p > last week (July 8-14), most cotton areas in Hebei suffered heavy rainfall, which brought many disadvantages to cotton growing at critical stage.

Especially in Cangzhou, Baoding, Hengshui and other places, the rainfall lasted for almost a week. The accumulated rainfall was estimated at 200-250 millimeters, which has caused adverse effects on some cotton fields.

< /p >

< p > "the rain is half mixed, and I fear that the rain will not stop."

In July 15th, the weather in Cangzhou, Hebei did not completely clear up. Lao Li went to inspect cotton fields. He said that the average height of cotton was 80 cm at present, 8-11 branches per fruit branch, 3-5 flowers / plants, and 1-2 peaches at the bottom.

"How much water has not been accumulated, but still can't get in, so we can only see it on the field stem."

Lao Li believes that last week's rain is just "quench thirst" for cotton fields, which is more advantageous to cotton growing at the critical stage of growth, but if the rainfall is still not able to stop in recent days, the cotton field will definitely be waterlogged.

However, Mr. Zhang, a cotton grower in Hengshui, said that because of the long duration of rainfall and heavy rainfall, it had a very adverse impact on cotton production.

There are mainly: cotton field water, soil moisture saturation, soil easy to knot and loss of fertility; two is a long time of rain and light, easy to make cotton branches and leaves long, and poor ventilation, easy to make the bottom of the bud flower off, so that the peach before the peach is black and mildew; three, rainfall will cause cotton farmers can not enter the field operation, may cause the cotton bollworm, bug bug and other pests occur, and easily cause cotton yellow and wilt disease; four is cotton pollination is blocked, the bell time will be postponed.

"I hope it clears up soon. If it doesn't clear up, the cotton will really be cut down."

Mr. Zhang said that at present, cotton farmers especially hope that the weather will clear up quickly, and they can prune and spray pesticides in time.

According to the weather forecast, most of Hebei is still overcast and rainy this week. The market predicts that cotton production and quality will drop in Hebei province this year.

< p > recently, the fiber inspection bureau of Hebei province began to strengthen the training of the new national standard of cotton enterprises in Shandong Province, requiring that every 400 type enterprise must send 3 participants.

Training involves color level, quality of rolling mill, length, micron value and so on. Training has received some effect.

However, about 60% of the enterprises still can not grasp the essence of color level.

< /p >

< p > "in theory, it is a matter of fact that it may be stuck when confronted with real problems."

Zhang, director of an enterprise in Baoding, said he was still not fully aware of the new national standard and could not grasp it well in his practical application.

It is understood that at present, cotton enterprises have two major concerns.

One is worried about the quality of cotton this year.

According to the content of the new national standard, about 50% of cotton in Hebei province can enter the white cotton ranks in the normal year. However, in recent rainy days, the color level of cotton will be greatly reduced. It is estimated that many cotton will enter the ranks of dirty cotton or light yellow cotton. Two, we are worried that we should not grasp the color level and lose money in the process of storing and storing.

"Now processing cotton is big money, thin profit, can not afford to lose a bit."

Zhang manager's worries are beyond words. They intend to really see the market situation before buying the new cotton market.

According to him, many enterprises are similar to his ideas.

< /p >

< p > recently, the continuous rain in Hengshui, Hebei, one of the key cotton producing areas in the southeastern Hebei Plain, caused some flower buds to fall off in the cotton fields.

In addition, cotton spot and cotton byproducts in the local and surrounding areas have been in a state of stagnation for a long time, and the market is exhausted.

< /p >

< p > by the joint influence of the northern high pressure of subtropical high and the cold air, since July 9th, heavy rain has occurred in almost all cotton regions of Hengshui, Hebei, including Jizhou, Zaoqiang, Jingxian County and Gucheng counties.

This continuous rainfall has a wide range, long duration and heavy rainfall. The total precipitation reaches 50-100 millimeters. The precipitation in some areas even reaches 150 millimeters.

The continuous rainfall in addition to causing serious local cotton field water, excessive water saturation, soil compaction and loss of fertility, and at the same time, rain and light, the air humidity is very great, easy to make the branches and leaves of cotton grow crazy, coupled with poor ventilation, early formation of the peach before the risk of black and mildew, may also cause Verticillium wilt, Helicoverpa armigera and bug bug and other diseases and insect pests, which will have adverse effects on cotton growth and cotton production this year.

Therefore, the local agriculture department reminds cotton farmers to timely topdressing, spraying and pruning after rain to reduce the harm of this rainfall to cotton growth.

< /p >

< p > it is also understood that since July, the local cotton market has been stagnant and sales are almost stagnant.

Real estate cotton sales, 11, the local 4 grade real estate cotton sales offer 18600 yuan / ton (pick up, take the ticket, public settlement, the same below), 5 grade real estate cotton sales quotations 17000 yuan / ton, are the same as the same period in the previous week, the market is still "zero turnover".

On sale of cotton by-products, the sale price of local cottonseed was 1.40 yuan / kg, 11, the same as that of the previous week; the output price of the 4 grade cottonseed oil was 6900 yuan / ton, the same as that of the previous week; the selling price of two cotton lint was 3400 yuan / ton, which was 100 yuan / ton lower than that of the previous week; the sales price of 40% cottonseed meal was 3300 yuan / ton, 40% yuan / ton compared with the same period of the previous week, and the cotton shell was 1500 yuan / ton, which was the same as that of the previous week.

Due to limited market demand, local cotton by-products sales overall pattern is weak, turnover is relatively light.

For the sale of long staple cotton, the 11 day 137 grade Xinjiang long staple cotton sale price is 28500 yuan / ton (local warehouse delivery, original certificate code sheet settlement, cash spot paction, take the ticket, the same below), 237 level 27400 yuan / ton, same as the same period of the previous week, the sales volume showed a downward trend.
