USDA Seriously Overestimates Pakistan'S Cotton Imports

According to the latest data, in September this year, Pakistan's cotton import volume was 8375 tons, down 3.6% from the same period last year, declining for 16 consecutive months.

Pakistan is one of the reasons for the decline in cotton production or imports. It is estimated that USDA expects to reduce cotton imports in Pakistan this year.

In the first two months of this year,

Cotton imports totaled 16 thousand and 100 tons, down 9.1% from the same period last year.

The forecast target for USDA10 months is 327 thousand tons, up 25% over the same period last year. That is to say, in the next 10 months, the average monthly import volume in Pakistan will reach 31 thousand tons, which is higher than the average import volume in the past 16 months.

Obviously, USDA overestimated Pakistan's appetite.

In addition, the gap between cotton production and consumption in Pakistan will increase. On the one hand, the import demand of China's foreign yarn is weakened, which means that the amount of cotton will be reduced. On the other hand, there are rumors that the price of cotton set by the government to support the price is not low, which will encourage cotton farmers to pick and sell.

Cotton harvest was good in Guzhou county. The total output of seed cotton reached 131 million kg.

The flower has gained a good harvest, and the total output of seed cotton is expected to reach 131 million kg.

In order to ensure the successful acquisition of cotton, the financial department of Guzhou County promptly put in 985 million yuan for acquisition and processing of cotton purchase and processing enterprises.

At present, 22 cotton acquisition processing enterprises that meet the acquisition terms have acquired 9 scales and bought 1 million 500 thousand kg of cotton.

In recent years, through the comprehensive promotion of land circulation and the implementation of the matching of high and new water-saving technologies and good seed laws, the cotton yield per unit of the state has increased year by year, and the benefit of cotton planting has been steadily raised. However, the cost of picking cotton has also increased year by year. In order to maximize the planting benefit, all cotton planting counties (cities) and towns (farms) are actively demonstrating and popularizing cotton harvesting by machine.

It is estimated that in 2013, the indexes of material cost, yield per unit area, average purchase price, harvesting cost (medicament input, mining charge, delivery charge, pick up staff food and other incidental expenses) of comprehensive cotton production in 2013 were more than 238 yuan higher than that of manual picking cotton.

And mechanical harvesting is more time-saving and labor saving than manual picking, making the enthusiasm of cotton farmers to harvest mechanically this year is obviously high.
