Dezhou Cotton Association Early Warning Cotton Farmers Pull Cotton Seed Wheat

The Dezhou Cotton Association has issued an early warning report on "the early warning policy for the cotton growing areas in the mainland".

The report said that as of October 20th, the turnover of cotton farmers in Dezhou was only about 10%, which was about 20% lower than that in the normal year. Many farmers have been pulling cotton seeds. The cotton area in Dezhou is expected to decline sharply next year.

Dezhou is one of the main cotton producing areas in China. It has a history of planting cotton for hundreds of years.

Ma Junkai, vice president of Dezhou Cotton Association, said that Dezhou was drier and drier in July and August, with sufficient light, which is very beneficial to cotton growth.

This year, cotton harvest in Dezhou City, with an average yield of more than 520 Jin per mu, is the highest output in nearly five years.

However, the high yield of cotton has not brought the expected bumper harvest to cotton farmers and cotton enterprises.

Cotton production has skyrocketed, causing cotton prices to fall sharply. According to current market prices, seed cotton purchase price is 3.5 yuan per catty, which is about 0.6 yuan less than cotton price in the previous three years.

If we calculate the yield of 520 kg of cotton per mu and 3.5 yuan per catty per year, cotton farmers will only earn 1820 yuan for planting an acre of cotton.

According to the cotton association of Dezhou, cotton growers will be able to grow one mu of cotton this year, with a direct cost of 560 yuan and an artificial cost of 1100 yuan (22 cotton per mu, 22 yuan per mu). After deducting the above cost, the net income of cotton seed per mu is only about 160 yuan, far less than the grain yield.

In 2014, the state canceled the temporary cotton purchase and storage policy, which made the cotton purchase and storage almost stagnate.

Last year, the state store cotton purchase and storage price was 4.7 yuan / kg. Cotton processing enterprises basically did not have operational risks. They only pushed cotton prices according to the cotton purchase and storage price stipulated by the state, so that the acquisition, processing and quality control could be well done.

Ma Junkai pointed out that the abolition of temporary cotton purchase and storage policy is tantamount to letting cotton enterprises return to the market.

Now cotton prices are on the market, and the uncertainty is increasing.

The purchase price is low, and cotton farmers are reluctant to sell. When the price is high, cotton enterprises will lose money and buy.

This has made cotton purchase and sale in a dilemma this year.

By the end of September, most cotton factories in Dezhou began to scale cotton, but only a few cotton mills have been bought so far this year.

At present, the turnover of cotton farmers in Dezhou is only about 10%, which is about 20% lower than that in normal years.

A cotton grower in Xiajin County complained that in the past, many cotton traders took advantage of high street prices to grab cotton.

Because

It is impossible for farmers to increase their income. Many farmers have been pulling cotton seeds and wheat.

Statistics show that cotton planting area in Dezhou is 802 thousand and 500 mu this year, a decrease of 291 thousand and 200 mu compared with the same period last year, a decrease of 26.63%.

Seeing that the cotton market is in a low ebb, the national cotton subsidy has been delayed.

In September 22nd, the NDRC once said: "in addition to the pilot areas in Xinjiang, there are also the main producing areas of the Yangtze River and the the Yellow River River Basin, and the state will also give proper subsidies. Now this principle has been decided by the State Council, how to make up and how much to be supplementation will be issued by the Ministry of finance."

Dezhou Cotton Association pointed out in the forewarning report, "because of the vacancy in the Cotton Subsidy Policy in the mainland, the relevant departments and the cotton association can not carry out effective work, banks dare not grant loans, and cotton farmers dare not sell them, afraid that they will lose their early sale, and cotton enterprises dare not buy them, so that they may lose their losses early."

Dezhou Cotton Association appealed that the government should "clarify the specific policy of Cotton Subsidy in the mainland as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the arrangement and production of cotton farmers.

Cotton enterprises can also arrange acquisition processing as early as possible. "

Rugao, Nantong: late autumn cocoons are weighing 250 million of silkworm eggs throughout the year.

Today, the late autumn cocoon of Rugao is on balance. After the preliminary study, experts predict that this late autumn cocoon will have a bumper harvest.

On the first day of opening the scales, the silkworms' enthusiasm for selling cocoons was not high, and the cocoon purchasing station did not appear in the two seasons of the Spring Festival.

Experts say: This is because it is different from the other two season silkworms. There is a certain gap in the growth of silkworms in late autumn. Therefore, the acquisition period will be 4-5 days.

However, due to the appropriate temperature, less rain and good quality of mulberry leaves this autumn, cocoon production in late autumn is expected to be higher than in previous years.

This year,

In the three seasons of mid autumn and late autumn, 150 thousand species of silkworm were produced in Rugao, and 6 million 150 thousand cocoons were expected to be produced annually. According to the price of the first two quarters, 26 thousand households in the whole city are expected to earn 250 million yuan.
