What Is The Main Reason For The Decline In Cotton Digits In The Two Digits?

In June 8th, the national cotton market monitoring system

Fresh out of the oven, the report details the changes in the area of the three major cotton growing areas in the country, which is similar to the changes it had released in the 2015 cotton cotton survey area (March), and maintained a two digit decline.

It is understood that this year the whole country

Compared with last year, the drop in area has the following 3 characteristics:

1. The cotton planting area in the mainland has dropped greatly.

In 2015, the actual sowing area of cotton in China reached 51 million 189 thousand mu, a decrease of 12 million 909 thousand mu compared with the same period last year, a decrease of 20.1%, which is basically the same as that in March this year.

In 2014, the total sown area of cotton in China reached 63 million 241 thousand mu, a decrease of 9 million 15 thousand mu compared with that of the previous year, a decrease of 12.5%, less than 7.5 percentage points this year.

2, the area of the Yellow River basin is smaller than that of the Yangtze River Basin.

The national cotton sown area survey report in 2015 showed that the actual sowing area of the the Yellow River River Basin was 11 million 67 thousand mu, down 30.8% from the same period last year, and the actual sowing area of the Yangtze River Basin was 7 million 947 thousand mu, a decrease of 37.2% compared with the same period last year, and the decrease of the the Yellow River basin area was 6.4 percentage points lower than that of the Yangtze River Basin.

The national cotton sown area survey report in 2014 showed that the actual sowing area of the the Yellow River River Basin was 15 million 998 thousand mu, a decrease of 24.4% compared with the same period last year, and the actual sowing area of the Yangtze River Basin was 12 million 661 thousand mu, a decrease of 21.6% compared with the same period last year, and the decrease in the the Yellow River basin was 2.8 percentage points higher than that in the Yangtze River Basin.

3. The cotton planting area in the northwest of China has dropped significantly.

In 2015, the national cotton sowing area survey showed that the actual area of the northwest inland area was 31 million 499 thousand mu, a decrease of 9.4% compared with the same period last year.

The actual area decreased by 8.7% over the same period last year.

In 2014, the national cotton sowing area survey showed that the actual area of the northwest inland area was 33 million 906 thousand mu, a decrease of 1% compared with the same period last year, of which the actual sowing area in Xinjiang decreased by 1.1% over the same period last year.

The inland area of Northwest China has dropped by 8.4 percentage points this year, of which Xinjiang's decline is 7.6 percentage points higher than that of last year.

The main reason for this decline is also different.

The main reason for the new fall of the national cotton sowing area survey in 2015 is the large circulation of farmland, and the farmers who rent their homes give up cotton planting because they are too expensive to plant cotton.

In 2014, the national cotton sowing area survey showed that the main reason for the decline was the poor yield of cotton compared with other cash crops and the pessimism of cotton farmers' expectations for cotton prices in the new year.

The change of cotton planting area this year has touched the hearts of millions of people. Especially, the decline of cotton planting area in Xinjiang area has become a hot topic in the cotton circle.

With the 2015 national cotton sowing area survey report freshly released, this year's cotton area decline is a foregone conclusion, the specific decline is also settled, and later cotton growth will gradually become the focus of attention of all parties.
