Cotton Seeds Are Still Not Growing, So It Is Important For The Market To Speak.

In 2011, seed cotton was 20720 yuan per ton; in 2012, it was 20023 yuan per ton; in September 1st this year, it was 17977 yuan per ton, and 16200 yuan per ton in September 30th.

On the 3 day, the number of reporters reported that Sheyang County hahe town farmers have a lingering fear of flying.

"Such a price, even in a bumper harvest year, will cost 300 yuan per mu. This year there will be a lot of rainy days. Cotton is seriously cut down, and the quality is not as good as before. Fortunately, I didn't grow cotton in the past year, otherwise it will be miserable this year."

He said.

Cotton picking season is now.

As a major cotton growing province, the cotton planting area in 2004 was 6 million 144 thousand and 300 mu, mainly distributed in Northern Jiangsu and central Jiangsu.

However, the cotton planting area in this province is less than 2 million mu this year.

Sheyang county was once the first county of cotton production in the whole country. In 2005, the county's planting area was close to 1 million mu. However, this year's dramatic reduction was only about 80 thousand mu.

"The 80 thousand acres of cotton land are still not suitable for planting rice, and farmers can only grow cotton."

Sheyang county station director Mao Chuntai told reporters that the price of seed cotton is so low this year, it is estimated that the area will be less next year.

according to

The main reason for the downward trend of cotton prices this year is that the state has cancelled the implementation of the policy of temporary cotton purchase and storage for 3 years. In addition to direct subsidies to cotton farmers in Xinjiang, all cotton growers in other regions sell cotton at market prices, which means that the price of domestic cotton has shifted from "policy market" to "market city" this year.

Why should we cancel the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy that has been implemented for several years? Because the price of cotton at home and abroad is seriously upside down, that is, the price of cotton in the international market is much lower than that in the domestic market. At present, the price of imported cotton is about 11000 yuan per ton, far lower than the domestic cotton price.

The high cotton prices will weaken the international competitiveness of the downstream textile manufacturing industry.

Moreover, according to the China cotton net, there are as many as 13 million tons of cotton stock in the whole country, which is equivalent to more than two years of cotton production in the whole country.

At present, under the premise of serious domestic and international cotton prices, the stored cotton is hard to sell at a price. In the long run, it will seriously distort cotton prices and affect the healthy development of downstream industries. Therefore, abandoning storage and letting the market price is a must.

"Low income of seed cotton is also a plateau factor for farmers unwilling to grow."

Zhou Yu, a Nantong station director, said that Nantong, once a major cotton growing city, had a cotton seed area of nearly 3 million mu at most, and currently only about 500 thousand mu, mainly concentrated in coastal sandy soil areas such as Qidong, Haimen and Rudong.

He believes that the degree of mechanization of grain is very high, and cotton from raising seedlings, pplanting, fertilizing, pesticide, until picking, all rely on labor, labor costs are much higher than the type of food.

From the perspective of economic benefits, although the gross income of cotton seed per mu is 1500-2000 yuan, it can earn seven hundred or eight hundred yuan per mu, but because of the large amount of labor and intensity of labor, the comprehensive benefit is not as good as planting grain.

The planting area of cotton in China has been decreasing, but the supply of cotton in the international market is surplus.

Jin Xin, Secretary General of Nantong Textile Industry Association, which is concerned about the international cotton market for a long time, told reporters that the global cotton production, demand and storage forecast of the US Department of agriculture in September showed that the world's cotton stocks hit a new high.

Due to the serious inversion of cotton prices at home and abroad, it is a natural phenomenon to use imported cotton in large quantities in cotton enterprises.

On the 1 edition, Nantong Ding Yan Textile Co., Ltd. is a large household cotton manufacturer who reaches thousands of tons of cotton per year. Chairman Chen Jian told reporters that the company imported 70% of cotton. If there is no quota restriction, imported cotton can replace domestic cotton.

The price of imported cotton in the 1-8 months of this year is 3500 yuan cheaper than that of domestic cotton.

According to the statistics of Nantong Textile Industry Association, the textile enterprises in Nantong last year used cotton to 550 thousand tons, of which 250 thousand tons were imported, more than 230 thousand tons were Xinjiang, and Nantong cotton accounted for 40 thousand tons, and the rest were cotton in North Jiangsu and other places.

The continuous reduction of cotton planting area has caused the concern of a cotton expert in the Yancheng City agricultural system. He believes that cotton is not only an important cash crop, but also a very valuable strategic material, or a labor-intensive crop. We should not abandon cotton cultivation because of excess or low efficiency.

He also believes that from the perspective of market competition and long-term development of China's textile industry, China can not rely entirely on imported cotton, but still needs to maintain certain output and reserves so as to meet the needs of the cotton industry and respond to changes in the international market. Otherwise, it will easily be subject to human consumption, resulting in an increase in the cost of textile products and a decline in market competitiveness, thus falling into a passive position.

But the provincial government counselor and senior agricultural expert Liu Liren did not think so. He said that the high price of storing and storing was out of line with the market rules, and the policy of storing and storing 3 years ago, cotton growers' income growth was limited, but the cotton spinning industry was seriously damaged.

"A huge amount of cotton reserves is like a huge dammed lake. If we continue to implement the policy of collecting and storing, we will not only be burdened with heavy burden on the state finance, but this" barrier lake "will become bigger and more dangerous.

He said that the abolition of the purchase and storage policy, straightened out the price relationship, pain in a moment, for a long time.

Now that China has integrated into the international market, it should follow the trend of the market.

"Cotton can be stored for a long time, as long as strategy.

Enough, planting area reduction is not terrible.

It is the most important thing for farmers to grow crops with high economic benefits and increase farmers' income.
