What Is The Way Out For Cotton Industry?

Referring to the domestic and foreign cotton transformation mode, combined with the actual situation of Changde, Huang Yunxin, director of the Municipal Agriculture Bureau, pointed out that the way out for cotton industry is to combine with the local market demand, and the two is to adapt to the changing production situation and improve the production technology.

As the saying goes, "the best is the best." To this end, under the guidance of the Municipal Bureau of agriculture, Changde cotton farmers have explored a variety of vegetables and fruits, including oil sunflowers, soybeans, peanuts, sesame seeds, grapes, honeysuckle and other Chinese medicinal materials, and also have flowers and seedlings.

Huang Yun said that planting must be based on a stable sales channel, so it is best to sign production contracts first.

In July 2014, the Municipal Bureau of agriculture conducted a comprehensive survey on crop planting in recent 3 years from the aspects of Mu output, Mu output value, Mu materialization cost, Mu employment number, Mu gross income, Mu labor cost and net income per mu. According to the survey, experts believe that sorghum is the best, but sorghum must have excellent winery contract guarantee. In 2014, nearly half of the wineries in Guizhou were closed because of prohibition, resulting in the failure of the sorghum market. Therefore, it is not suitable to blindly develop; secondly, it is necessary to have a good water conservancy condition, but the last is to plant corn and corn. Sale The benefits are also good.

Huang Yunxin suggested that under the premise of respecting the wishes of cotton farmers, we should adhere to "prevent blind adjustment and prevent abandonment." Suit one's measures to local conditions We should stabilize the market and change the market, select the right crops, and rely on the leading products and order production "to replant them.

　　 cotton Production is one of the traditional industries in our city. It is impossible to quit altogether, and now the cotton is cut down globally. Maybe cotton prices will rise one day. Therefore, experts believe that cotton production can not be completely abandoned, but to adapt to the new situation and research and popularize light and simplified cultivation techniques. For example, popularizing cotton seed oil after direct seeding, saving seedling and seedbed management employment, popularizing cotton special nutrient controlled slow release fertilizer, making basal fertilizer one-time deep application, changing 5 times of whole year fertilization to 1 times of fertilizing, popularizing rational Intercropping of cotton field. At the same time, we should explore and popularize mechanized operation technology of cotton planting in order to save money and increase efficiency.

It is a wise move to encourage other high-income crops to be planted in areas where cotton is low. In recent years, news about cotton farmers' growing cotton has not been profitable, especially since last year, the state no longer bought and sold cotton prices. Where is the way out for the cotton industry? How to adjust the structure? Recently, the reporter conducted in-depth interviews on this topic.

Since 2013, cotton production has been in a predicament. In that year, the charm of "emperor's daughter and snow white" was dim.

Wu Renming, director of the Bureau of grain and oil, Changde Bureau of agriculture, analyzed cotton production for four reasons.

Reason 1: severe climate loss causes serious reduction. The hot and dry weather from 6 to August in 2013, the heavy rain in from August 23rd to 25th and the continuous rainy weather in early September resulted in a significant reduction in autumn peach and a large number of rotten bolls in the later stage. The long rainy weather from 5 to June in 2014 led to the prolongation of the seedling stage, the stunted growth and development, the poor overall growth of cotton, the low temperature in August, and the rainy weather in September, which affected the Bolling rate of cotton, and reduced the number of autumn peach and late autumn peach, and increased the number of rotten bolls, resulting in a serious reduction in cotton yield than in normal years.

Reason two: cotton prices continue to fall. In the early 2011, after the domestic cotton market was difficult to sell, in order to protect the interests of farmers, the state implemented a temporary cotton purchase and storage policy for 3 consecutive years, resulting in a huge increase in state reserves. So far, the stock of China's reserve cotton management company is more than 11 million tons, while domestic cotton consumption is only 600 to 8 million tons per year, forming a situation that supplies far more than sales. Because of the difference between domestic and international price mechanism, the difference between domestic and international cotton price spreads is quite large. In 2014, the state adjusted the relevant policies, and domestic cotton prices began to go down all the way. To achieve domestic cotton prices in line with international prices, there is still a big drop in domestic prices.

Reason three: the state has made a major adjustment to the cotton purchase and storage policy, that is, "cancel the temporary cotton storage and purchase, and start the pilot project of cotton target price subsidies in Xinjiang". In recent years, affected by temporary purchasing and storage, the development of cotton industry has shown a special form. In the market, cotton can not be found, and cotton storage has become the only way. Under the pattern of excessive concentration of cotton, the risk of cotton regulation is too high, the price is high, the price is high, the price is low and the farmers are injured. At present, the government needs to unload the burden gradually, so that the cotton industry will steadily return to the market and the cotton price will be determined by the market.

Reason four: the rural labor force has been greatly reduced. However, the cotton production season is longer and the labor cost is much higher. At present, the main labor force of cotton in our city is old people and women, and there is a common phenomenon of labor shortage. It is difficult to realize the traditional mode of intensive cultivation for cotton planting. Cotton growing is due to the long growth cycle, and it belongs to the crop which needs more labor. Moreover, the price of labor is rising constantly, resulting in the rising cost of labor, which affects the benefit of cotton planting.
