Cotton Prices Are Low, No One Is Complaining.

On the way of investigation, the information man saw several aunt picking cotton in the field. If this work is in the past years, the mothers must be working on their own, and your parents are talking about it when their family is short. This year is different. Cotton prices are low and they are suffering from heavy losses. Everyone is in a depressed mood. They are silent, and do not say a word for a long time.

except cotton During the period of the mainland, many agricultural products were depressed in the market, and the depressed mood caused by the market downturn was everywhere in the countryside. In Dafeng, Jiangsu, cotton harvest has reached "the second half of the year". A lot of people have posted the bill. This year, the cotton harvest is only three or four of last year's harvest. The reason is a reduction of nearly 50% per mu and an average price of one yuan per kilogram. Of course, in addition to cotton wilt, the local garlic, wax gourd, green peppers also "coincide with the year". A party secretary of the village Party branch, who was the chief producer of garlic, said: "the same price of garlic, the same price of field purchase, could sell more than 1 yuan at this time last year, leaving only three or four left this year. Not only did the price go down badly, but it seemed to be less demanding and sold out. And lettuce and other green goods are also low in price and unsalable.

Cotton, garlic, lettuce... Why are agricultural products always falling and hard to sell? Why are they always injured? Why do they always hurt farmers? To investigate the market, to visit farmers in conjunction with the situation and carefully try to figure it out, I do not think this can completely "blame" the market, and farmers have to find their own reasons.

　　 Seeking quantity but not quality

The newly picked cotton is placed in the sun for a long time, and there are no two kinds of stiff valves like snow, white and snow. Xie Chunguan grabbed a handful and grabbed a bite of the cottonseed. He can't sell a high price. Xie Chunguan threw the cotton back to the drying tower, and lettuce green oil grew very gratifying. Squatting in the lettuce field, Chen Gaoping had a worried look. He is worrying about the marketing of lettuce.

Dafeng cotton planting area is ranked first in Jiangsu and Yancheng this year, but some farmers complain that if there are more kinds of rice, they may not have so many losses. The lettuce planting area in Ding Feng Village is 1500 mu, and there are also species of lettuce and lettuce. The same is lettuce, but the market is different. In recent times, the village has "a few unhappy families." Those who have red heart are busy harvesting the market every day. According to the professionals who have been engaged in cotton processing and purchasing for many years in Dafeng City, the market has maintained a strong demand for high-quality cotton. Some high spinning yarn companies are paying high prices for cash but are unable to get the best quality cotton. The reason is that there are too many people selling mixed cotton mixed with mixed grains such as mixed rice and cotton, and some of the processing enterprises are just planning to make good cotton mixed with inferior cotton, which artificially reduces the natural quality of cotton.

The professional said, Jiangsu cotton has always been due to geographical latitude and standardized management of production and marketing and other factors, the quality of Cap Cotton City, once known as the "spice" in spinning cotton, in the era of its advantages, many textile enterprises to buy Jiangsu cotton as a blessing, and some even used as cotton, while others were sold in the "yarn Department of Jiangsu, a certain county (city) cotton production spun" said. It is easy to find out how Su cotton sold yesterday. And after all these years of market transformation, Jiangsu has few real value 1-2 grade commodity cotton in the market, from production to acquisition to processing and operation of a set of high-quality supporting management measures have been put aside, "one-stop" selling cotton gin sales, a good cotton gold medals stained, rusty. Take the red lettuce, which is also once unmarketable, for example. The red heart lettuce produced in North Jiangsu has good taste and tender meat and has been selling well over the years. But some farmers still grow white lettuce, "it is their output that harms them." An informed broker was outspoken. As a result, the yield of red heart lettuce is only 3000-4000 kilograms, but the white heart can reach 4000-6000 kilograms. As a result, many farmers are "greedy" and choose to plant white heart lettuce, hoping to win by quantity. But the market is merciless. On these two days, the price of red heart lettuce has risen to more than 8 horns per kilogram, but there is a lot of difference between the heart and the white heart. Moreover, farmers' brokers are reluctant to buy white heart lettuce, and farmers have to look at the elders and become waste. Guan Qixin introduced that the market of agricultural products has gone through the age of insufficient supply. Consumers will pay more attention to taste and quality. They hope to win by quantity, but will lose everything.

Information workers feel this: quality is more important than output. Cotton and other staple agricultural products can not blindly chase high yield and high quality products.

　　 Break through the market reason

"If you lose so much, will you grow cotton next year?" this is the problem that farmers think most in cotton fields. "What is the right thing to do? Who knows what the market will be worth next year?" Wherever you go, as long as you get into the crowd and mention cotton, everyone will talk with you in a single word. "No seed, no seed, no head." next year, even if ten yuan a Jin, I will not grow. The spirit is wrong. "Let's see, I will grow my family." It is not hard to find that many people do not study the market, but "follow the feeling". A broker who has been engaged in agricultural products marketing for many years, thinks that there are many channels to catch the market. Farmers can synthesize all factors and make scientific judgments according to the laws of many years. They can get rid of natural conditions and traditional inertia, and produce high priced and well sold agricultural products. However, this is not the case. Following the trend is a big category. Only the idea of harvest rejection is too strong. We can't afford to lose. We sold it last year, but we didn't lose it. Last year, we sold thousands of cotton, but the price of cotton is low this year. If you drop the cost of cotton production and make the quality of the product good, anyhow, there will be cotton in the textile mill. No matter what the year of the year is, the quality of the agricultural products will not be sold.

Information workers also have the sentiment that rationality is more important than feeling. Farmers should not only immerse themselves in work, but also look up and see the road.

　　 Heavy profits and light faith

stay countryside No matter what kind of agricultural products are on the market, when the price is rising, the farmers are reluctant to sell, and some of them sell their brokers to the west to express their feelings. The freight cars are also dissatisfied with the cost of logistics, and the cost of logistics has doubled and doubled. When prices fall back, farmers are competing to sell, resulting in oversupply and falling prices. This year, most of the cotton fields in the mainland come to be ugly. I do not sell them. No matter what period of time, cotton is completely installed in its own storehouse, and the market is "turning around". This is a strange phenomenon that some rural cadres have introduced to me.

This phenomenon, Wang Ying Wang is a personal experience. He began his cotton business in the year of "cotton price roller coaster". Seeing the market is so hot, he is also a head of spirit. In the first few days he paid a lot of money. He rented a large tonnage truck, but cotton prices rose almost every day. When the peasants saw this posture, they all shrank back, and no one was willing to sell it. If the goods are not enough, they will not be able to start. Waiting for a day is hundreds of dollars! Fortunately, I made some profits the other day. A few days later, cotton prices were resurgence, and some people were selling cotton. It's all old acquaintances. Where can we get higher and lower? "Said Mr. Guan of Xinfeng, who has been rolling around for years. Their information is still better than that of farmers who grow crops in the fields. They are neighbors who do not see them in the morning, and the transparency of their operations is very high. "Just like two days of lettuce, a pound will touch a few cents." Lao Guan hopes that there is a tacit understanding between all the farmers and brokers. The broker will make a fair offer, and the farmers will cooperate with them. "This will make the market flow smoothly. We can make the market bigger and win more profit margins, which is good for both sides." "But now the situation is that both sides talk more about price and less faith."

The information clerk once again said, "I think the old manager is right, but there is nothing wrong with the farmer's pursuit of high price sales. The problem is that both sides must speak the good faith." Don't be greedy to sell, not to be greedy. The more people in your own village, the more transactions you have before the door. The more you want to talk about the letter, the price of the road is public. Farmers should not fight to the top. There will be a little organization fee for the individuals or organizations that sell them for you. Otherwise, you will sell three hundred and a hundred jin cotton seeds, and Laughton will go to power. Faith is more important than interests. The moral environment of honesty is more conducive to the cultivation of a healthy market system. A stable market is the core of increasing agricultural efficiency and increasing farmers' income.
