The Mainland Cotton Area Looks Forward To The Early Introduction Of Subsidy Policy In Order To Arrange Agricultural Production.

In September 22nd, the national development and Reform Commission held the "cotton target price reform pilot and market regulation". News The conference explained the specific implementation of Xinjiang's cotton target price. It clearly stated: "in addition to the pilot area in Xinjiang, there are also the main producing areas of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River River Basin, and the state will grant subsidies appropriately. Now this principle has been set up by the State Council, how to make up and how much to be supplementation will be issued by the Ministry of finance." This news has brought some comfort to the hearts of cotton farmers and cotton processing enterprises in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River valley. After all, they should give proper subsidies and immediately enter the critical period of autumn harvest and autumn planting. Cotton growers and cotton enterprises hope that the policy will land as soon as possible so as to arrange agricultural production.

Dezhou city of Shandong province is one of the key cotton producing areas in the country. This year, 680 thousand mu of cotton has a bumper harvest. It is estimated that seed cotton yield more than 260 kilograms per mu is the highest output in nearly 6 years. However, due to the vacancy of the Cotton Subsidy Policy in the mainland, the relevant departments and the cotton association can not effectively carry out the work. The banks dare not grant loans. The cotton farmers dare not sell them, afraid that they will lose their early sale. Cotton companies dare not buy them, and fear that they will lose early.

In the second half of the Dezhou region, the wheat will be planted. Is the farmer a cottonseed or a cotton seed? policy Late publication will directly affect farmers' arrangements for agricultural production, and may result in a sharp decline in cotton area next year. The cotton area in Dezhou will probably be reduced to about 400 thousand acres next year, the smallest in nearly 40 years.

To stabilize the mainland cotton To ensure the healthy development of the cotton industry,

First, we should make clear the specific policy of Cotton Subsidy in the mainland as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the arrangement and production of cotton farmers, and timely purchase of cotton products.

Two is to increase investment in science and technology, promote mechanized planting and reduce the cost of seed cotton. At present, it is high cost and basically no benefit to disperse cotton seeds in one household, so it is the fundamental way to realize the scale and mechanization of cotton planting. It is suggested that the state should introduce policies to vigorously support cotton professional cooperatives, cotton farms and large cotton farmers, promote cotton scale planting, subsidize mechanized and large-scale production, reduce labor costs and reduce production costs.

The three is to encourage the development of cotton in saline alkaline dry land. Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu and other provinces have a large number of coastal saline alkali land, and some inland counties (such as Shandong Xiajin county) also have a large number of saline alkali soil, so they are not suitable for planting grain and vegetables, and suitable for planting cotton. The state should formulate policies for developing cotton planting in saline alkali soil, encourage enterprises and individuals to develop saline alkali dry land and develop cotton production, so as to ease the conflict between grain and cotton.
