Cotton City Is In A Stalemate This Year, Xinjiang Cotton Enterprises Are Under Great Pressure.

The new cotton season will start soon, but Xinjiang cotton enterprises are facing greater pressure on acquisitions.

According to statistics, Xinjiang seed cotton has been listed sporadically in recent days, and seed cotton has been purchased in Turpan, Akesu, Kashi and parts of Northern Xinjiang, but with 200 cotton enterprises.

Less than 200 kg or cotton brokers are the main ones. The quantity of seed cotton is less, and the turnover is only a few hundred kilograms.

Individual type 400 cotton enterprises (cotton bags in 400 kilograms) after the opening of weighing, the acquisition pressure is larger. A cotton enterprise in Turpan started to weigh two tons and only received more than 1 tons of seed cotton.

In 2014, when the central government explicitly proposed to cancel the temporary storage of cotton, Xinjiang adopted the "area + sales" subsidy method, that is, 60% was distributed according to the production area, and the 40% was distributed according to the sales volume.

It is reported that this year is planning to adjust the amount of subsidy mainly according to output.

Target price reform plan to be approved

This year is the second year of cotton target price reform in Xinjiang, and the way of subsidy is going to be adjusted.

In 2014, Xinjiang adopted the subsidy method of "area + sales volume", that is, 60% was distributed according to the production area, and the 40% was paid according to the sales volume.

According to the data released by Xinjiang agriculture department, the cotton planting area in Xinjiang reached 29 million 670 thousand mu in 2014, and the total output of cotton reached 3 million 100 thousand tons. In 2014, the local planting area increased by 13 million 120 thousand mu compared with the 2013 agricultural sector statistics (16 million 550 thousand mu).

For the large increase in planting area, Xinjiang agriculture department deputy director Ma Cheng explained that this is only a change in statistical data, does not mean that the actual planting area of Xinjiang cotton has increased substantially compared with previous years. One important reason is that in the past, agricultural production was taxable by area, and some non-agricultural production units did not report to the agricultural sector. Subsequently, the agricultural tax was abolished, but the non-agricultural production units had not reported the data to the agricultural sector. The data from the agricultural sector for many years actually were the planting information of the basic farmers' contracted land in the whole region.

In fact, the statistics of cotton planting area also cost a lot of manpower.

It is understood that from May to September last year, Xinjiang's agricultural land statistics, survey team and other forces have deployed 25 thousand and 300 cadres of 5 levels, forming more than 5800 working groups to jointly carry out a thorough investigation of Xinjiang's cotton production and production.

Liu Weidong, director of agricultural products and water resources of the Xinjiang development and Reform Commission, said, "improving the pilot of this year's cotton target price reform, the most important thing is to further improve the subsidy mode. This year, the plan is planned to adjust the allowance in accordance with the output, so as to further encourage the enthusiasm of cotton growers in our district."

It is understood that the implementation plan of Xinjiang cotton target price reform in 2015 is still waiting for the final reply of relevant state departments.

Cotton city is in a stalemate this year.

Xinjiang accounts for nearly 70% of cotton output nationwide, and 60% of China's textile cotton is produced in Xinjiang. Under the background of cotton target price reform, Xinjiang's new cotton season, which is about to start in September, has attracted much attention.

According to a feedback from a cotton manufacturer in southern Xinjiang, the picking period in South Xinjiang is probably around the middle of 9.

The purchase price is higher than 6 yuan / kg of ginning plant, I am afraid it can not be collected. It may be around 5.50 yuan / kilogram. The current cotton mill generally has a consensus that it is very difficult to operate this year and almost won't make money. It is estimated that the output of cotton growers is 400-450 kg / mu in the current cotton production, and the more than 300 kg / mu in the adjacent areas is low. The management of different varieties and different cotton fields leads to a gap in output.

"The main force to buy seed cotton at present is the 200 type cotton enterprises, and the small cotton enterprises in the early stage are buying at the price of 6.2-6.5 yuan / kg. Cotton farmers are worried that the subsidy will not be in place, which will not be recognized for the 5.5 yuan per kilogram of the large package enterprises."

Huang Xiaoyi, an information analyst, said, "despite the fact that cotton enterprises have begun to scale up, they have little market guidance. It is expected that the 400 cotton enterprises in Xinjiang will start concentrating in mid September. Cotton prices should be carefully controlled and cotton growers will not be active. The market stalemate will become the norm this year".

In fact, in October last year until the end of the cotton season in December, Xinjiang seed cotton acquisition enterprises experienced a round of changes in the acquisition market, enterprises suddenly rush to raise prices and rush to pick up seed cotton fluctuations, leading to the beginning of this year's cotton season, we mainly rely on conservative wait and see.

"With the lessons of last year's high price rush, plus this year's issue of agricultural products

Tightened up, many colleagues this year cotton purchase attitude is cautious. "

An industry insider said, "if the price of cotton is slightly higher this year, the acquisition processing enterprises will face greater market risks, and the current market situation is not very clear. In the later stage, the risk of acquisition will be determined."
