Xinjiang Cotton Production And Quality Double Decline, Futures Market Prices All The Way Down.

Recently, Hutubi County, Shawan County, Shihezi city and so on were investigated.

In the main producing area, we have a thorough understanding of the cotton purchase and processing in the new year.

It is reported that in July 2015

Cotton suffered hot weather, from late August to early September, another cold air attack, resulting in the development of cotton peach immature, single bell weight drop, top peach peeling off, in 2015 not only cotton yield was affected, but also the quality of a larger decline.

According to a number of local cotton business executives, this year's disaster in Northern Xinjiang, especially the counties and cities east of Manasi County, is relatively serious.

The total output of cotton in the northern Xinjiang area was 250-270 kg / mu, which was at least 20%-30% lower than the same period last year.

The average length of cotton tested at present is concentrated in 26-27mm, and even the individual batches are below 25mm. The horses are mostly C2, and the quality of cotton is generally lower than that of last year.

According to the test results, the quality of cotton in Shihezi, Shawan, Wusu and Kuitun areas is relatively good. The average length of cotton is 27-28mm, the number of individual batches can reach 29mm-30mm, and the horse's value can reach B2.

A person in charge of the enterprise said that this year's cotton quality is not only affected by weather factors, but also related to the cotton varieties planted.

In the past, the average cotton linen in Xinjiang was 35-36%, and the high lint percentage was only 38-39%.

It is not only of good length but also of high spinnability.

Now cotton growers are too economical to pursue, and more than 40% of the high linen cotton is selected, resulting in serious cotton quality.

At the same time, the director hopes that the seed research departments and breeding companies can really develop high-quality cotton seeds adapted to Xinjiang's growth.

It is reported that the purchase price of hand picked cotton in Northern Xinjiang is 5.2-5.7 yuan / kg, the purchase price of machine picked cotton is 4.5-4.7 yuan / kg, and the price of cottonseed is about 1.5 yuan / kg.

Now part of the cotton enterprises in order to ensure the quality of lint processing, has begun to purchase price according to the length.

The person in charge of a cotton enterprise said that the cotton output of this year is low, the amount of the purchase is not up to the 1/3 of the same period, the processed cotton length, the horse value and so on are poor, the product is not competitive, the spot price of cotton is still weak, and the price of the futures market is low, and the price of the futures market can not be guaranteed. This year the enterprise will be very difficult to make a profit.
