Planting Area Fell 20% Cotton Prices Hit A New High Of Three Years

< p > 0, 10, starting from September 9th, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > cotton > /a > entered a new round of storage and purchase. After the Mid Autumn Festival, every purchase point in the main producing areas of Shandong started a large-scale takeover. However, unlike the past, cotton buyers generally reflected that cotton could not be collected this year. How did this happen? Our reporter recently visited several cotton producing areas in Shandong for a visit.

< /p >

< p > Wang Shunjun is a cotton purchaser from Guangrao County, Dongying City, Shandong province. He thought that it would be too late to start the scale later this year, and the farmers' willingness to sell cotton would be higher.

< /p >

< p > Wang Shunjun, the purchaser of the wharf town of Guangrao County, Dongying, Shandong, said that half past five came. (a car was confiscated, neither is it suitable)? Well, I have been there for three days, but I have lost it.

< /p >

< p > Wang Shunjun told reporters that because of late listing, the overall quality of cotton this year is generally better than that of previous years. Meanwhile, farmers' expectations for < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > purchase price < /a > have also been greatly improved, which has been basically equal to the purchase price of cotton processing enterprises, which has led to little profit for middlemen.

In order to make money, purchasers can only reduce prices one after another, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of acquisition.

< /p >

< p > Wang Shunjun, a buyer of wharf town in Guangrao County, Dongying City, Shandong Province, said there were many cars.

It is also installed and received.

A small number of them are still being received.

He will not accept the price.

Today is a white trip, I intend to go back, this has come two times, all confiscated, and then go to other villages to look around.

< /p >

< p > Wang Shunjun gave an account to reporters. Now farmers sell cotton at a price of 4.5 yuan per catty, six or seven cents higher than last year, while the purchasing price of processing enterprises is only 4.53 yuan / kg, and the middle price difference is only 3 cents per catty. If the cost of labor and pportation is calculated again, the middleman will not only make money but also invest money in it.

And the buyers who encounter this situation are absolutely few in Shandong.

< /p >

< p > Shandong Binzhou Qin Huang Tai Township purchaser said that it is not easy to accept, but he did not approve of it. All of them were thinking about /p.

< p > Binzhou, Shandong, another buyer of Qin Huang Tai Township said it was not easy to accept.

< /p >

< p > planting area declined 20% cotton price hit three year high, < /p >

< p > due to the high price expected by cotton growers, it is difficult for purchasers to acquire cotton.

However, reporters found that the cotton purchase price is not low at present, especially this year's cotton prices have created a new high in the past three years, from the 2011 catty of 4.1 yuan, up to about 4.5 yuan, cotton growers look at the high price of the price will inevitably produce a reluctant mentality to wait for prices to rise further, so what is the reason for pushing up the cotton prices this year, continue to report.

< /p >

< p > Binzhou County, Shandong Province, the people of Qin Huang Tai Village claim that they have reduced the number of more than ten acres (how much you used to grow), fifty or sixty acres, (why reduce) cotton losses? < /p >

< p > Binzhou County of Shandong Province Qin Huang Tai Village people said that cotton price difference is too strong, cotton price is not good, less species.

< /p >

< p > this is the situation from the end of March to the beginning of April this year when the reporter learned about cotton planting area in Shandong. Because of the low cotton prices in previous years, compared with other cash crops, the benefits declined year by year, and it was easy to suffer from pests and diseases. So many farmers in Shandong made decisions to reduce planting area or abandon cotton and grow grain.

< /p >

< p > Wang Jianjun, President of the Nong Hei co operative society of Qin Huang Tai Township, Binzhou, Shandong Province, said that the cotton planting in our county town has been reduced by 7%-10% < /p over the previous years.

< p > except for the reduction of planting area, in July this year, sixteen heavy rains fell in Shandong within twenty days, resulting in large area of cotton fields flooded, and nearly 20% of them were damaged by 580 thousand tons of cotton.

This has further pushed up farmers' selling cotton prices.

< /p >

< p > > Sun Liwu, an analyst with Zhuo Chuang information cotton products (7.48, 0, 0%), said that the local price in Shandong has risen by nearly 10%, reaching 4.5 yuan, 4.6 yuan and the highest price of 4.7 yuan.

< /p >

< p > Shandong Binzhou Qin Huang Tai Village people said that the price can be accepted, compensation is not lost, personal land, but earn less, production is not high.

< /p >

< p > although the yield is low, the quality of cotton this year is much better than that of previous years. In the past, it was mainly made of grade four cotton, and it could reach three grade. This year, most of the newly listed cotton belongs to grade three cotton, and no one is willing to sell it cheaply. So the purchase price has risen from 4.2 yuan per catty to 4.5 yuan in less than ten days.

Moreover, many cotton farmers believe that prices will rise further, and some even expect to reach 5 yuan per catty.

< /p >

< p > the threshold of national reserve policy to raise the profit of cotton processing enterprises shrink < /p >

< p > in the face of this high cotton price, the capital cost of cotton processing enterprises has gradually increased. At the same time, with the release of the rules for storage and purchase this year, the raising of storage threshold has brought great pressure to the processing enterprises.

Under the double pressure, the days of processing enterprises are getting more and more difficult.

< /p >

< p > Tianxin company is the largest cotton processing enterprise in Guangrao County, with an annual processing capacity of ten thousand tons. At the moment, though it is in the peak season for cotton purchase, there are few vehicles coming to deliver cotton.

At present, Tianxin is making efforts to complete the first batch of purchase contracts signed with State Reserve, but the progress is not satisfactory.

< /p >

< p > Xu Zengguo, general manager of Tianxin Cotton Industry Co., Ltd., Guangrao, Dongying, Shandong Province, said that the daily income of 20-30 Jin Jin should be slightly worse, because it is not yet able to meet the expectations of ordinary people, and the people are not selling it at a price. But at present, the price is not rising.

< /p >

In order to compete for supplies, Tianxin company once opened a local highest seed cotton purchase price of 4.65 yuan per catty, which nearly lost all profits for P.

Because according to the current country's 20400 yuan per ton of leather storage price to calculate, deducting processing costs, only when the seed cotton purchase price is less than 4.4 yuan per catty, the enterprise can make profits.

< /p >

< p > Xu Zengguo, general manager of Tianxin Cotton Industry Co., Ltd., Guangrao, Dongying, Shandong, said that there is no profit now, that is, white processing can earn interest.

< /p >

< p > in addition to the high cost of acquisition, this year's purchase and storage threshold has also been raised.

According to the past, the processing enterprises will pay 80% after the first public inspection, and the remaining 20% will be paid after the final inspection. This year, we will have to wait until the two inspection is finished. This will undoubtedly bring great pressure to the processing enterprises.

< /p >

< p > Zhuo Chuang, Sun Liwu, an analyst of cotton products and agricultural products, said that the tight resources and the increase in the storage rules this year, the average a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_cj.asp" > profit < /a > of all processing enterprises should be somewhat lower than that of last year.
