The Yellow River Basin, Cotton City Abnormal Cold Waiting For Direct Subsidy Rules

In the near future, the the Yellow River basin cotton market can be described in a word: cold water to drink ice water, dripping in the heart.

Cotton enterprises:

According to the boss of a 400 type enterprise in Binzhou, Shandong, at present, the local cotton production in Shandong is turning to Hubei, Hebei and other places, so that they can do all they can to get 3-5 Jin Jin of seed cotton.

A processing plant in Wucheng County, Dezhou, has 3-5 kilograms of cotton seed per day. Such a "battle fruit" is simply "starving" to a processing enterprise with a capacity of 1-2 tons.

According to the market forecast, the total amount of cotton in Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Tianjin and so on this year must be over 1 million 500 thousand tons. Is it the cotton farmers who are reluctant to sell, or do we overestimate the output? This is a question many cotton enterprises have in mind.

Cotton farmers are very bitter and helpless.

Lao Zhao, a professional cotton specialist in Cangzhou, Hebei, has planted 95 mu of cotton this year in the voices of his family and colleagues.

In Lao Zhao's words, his stubbornness was becoming a laughing stock for others.

He calculated an account. The total output of 95 Mu cotton is 38475 Jin, the average yield per unit area is 405 Jin / mu, which is 30 jin / mu less than that of last year.

The average price of seed cotton is 3.27 yuan / Jin, down 1.11 yuan / Jin compared with last year.

The average gross profit per mu is 405 yuan 3.27=1324 yuan per mu, but the cost of putting into the land is 600 yuan per mu, and the cost of fertilizer, pesticide, plastic film, labor and so on is 814 yuan / mu, the total cost is 600+814=1414 yuan / mu, and the loss per mu is 1414-1324=90 yuan / mu. It is estimated that this year, Lao Zhao cotton seed lost 90 yuan 95=8550 yuan.

"I don't know why I planted cotton."

Lao Zhao said that the cotton price was too low, and this year's bitter lesson made him lose confidence in planting cotton.

According to him, this year the number of cotton farmers in the field of cotton planting has been reduced by half.

Cotton brokers are the lubricants of cotton purchase and sale. This year, the the Yellow River River Basin has hardly seen them.

Lao Zhang, a cotton broker all the year round, started from September every year until the 2-3 month of second. He basically bought cotton from every village, and gained a lot of money from a cotton season.

This year, he left the cotton market and started a grain business.

Why did cotton brokers change their careers? Lao Zhang said, first, no price difference, no profit.

When some brokers bought the cotton growers and sold them to processing plants, they found that prices were falling again, and that they could only go away.

The two is basically no cotton can be collected.

This year, many villages did not have a family to grow cotton, brokers took up fuel and labor costs, and ran a long way. After a day's pfer, they received only 300-500 catties of seed cotton, which were not enough cost.

The cotton market is so cold, who can give a good prescription? Policy support is the key.

Last week, the mainland issued a news report on cotton subsidies, requiring provinces to make their own plans.

We hope that the responsible person can listen more to the folk voice, and work out a feasible Subsidy Plan for the cotton industry for the livelihood of the people.
