Cotton: Reasonable Adjustment Of Planting Structure To Ensure Production And Income Increase

Wang Zhan, director of the village committee of the North Village town of Datong Lake District, wrote an account to the author: last year he planted 11 mu of cotton, 250 kg of seed cotton per mu, and the purchase price of seed cotton at 6 yuan per kilogram, earning 1500 yuan per mu, while the land rent and production cost amounted to 1200 yuan, and the net income per mu was only 300 yuan.

Planting 16 mu of rice, producing 450 kg of early rice per mu and 550 kg of late rice, according to the national minimum protective price Buy The output value per mu is about 2700 yuan, and the corresponding production cost in the two season is 1460 yuan, the net income per mu is 1240 yuan, and the income of cotton seed is more than 4 times. Wang Zhan sighed: "under this situation, only cotton can be changed to grain this year."

　　 Yiyang Guo Yenshan, director of the municipal supply and Marketing Association, also agreed with Wang Zhan's statement. He believed that after the state abolished the temporary purchase and storage policy, we should face up to the current situation of low cotton prices and the lack of market demand. Government departments at all levels should actively guide and respect the wishes of cotton farmers, rationally adjust their planting structure, and reclaim cotton fields in high terrain and difficult to convert into paddy fields, and replant corn and other dry crops.

However, most cotton fields do not have matching facilities for irrigation and water conservancy. They need extensive land formation and involve a wide range, which is difficult to solve by cotton farmers. Guo Shan suggested that government departments arrange special funds to support the spanformation of farmland infrastructure. Cotton region Land leveling and dry land improvement projects.

In addition, the supply and marketing department should remind the cotton growers that there is a hidden danger of fire safety and easy to mold and produce worms. Cotton growers should actively face the current situation and sell them as early as possible.
