Behind The Cotton Price Is The Issue Of Industrial Upgrading And The Establishment Of A Unified Cotton Seed Management System.

"Cotton Research Report of Xinjiang" put forward the problem of cotton quality in Xinjiang this year. The external factors are climatic reasons, and the internal factors are too many varieties, too much miscellaneous management and lack of unified management.

It is necessary to establish a unified cotton variety management system, encourage scientific research institutions to cultivate high-quality varieties, strictly manage seed market, avoid mixed degeneration and quality deterioration.

Behind the cotton price is the problem of industrial upgrading. The way out is to promote the upgrading of cotton industry from quantity to quality and efficiency.

At the same time, we should use policies to guide Xinjiang cotton to concentrate on the dominant producing areas, optimize the industrial structure and industrial layout, and guide cotton farmers to actively adopt new varieties and technologies, increase yields per unit, reduce costs, and enhance the market competitiveness of intensive, specialized, organized and socialized production of cotton.

In order to mitigate the impact of natural disasters on agricultural production, most farmers choose to purchase agricultural insurance.

Many cotton farmers believe that insurance companies should settle their claims in the face of the cotton reduction this year.

In fact, it is not easy to get compensation.

Guma Yiming said cotton premiums per mu were 14 yuan, which has not changed over the past few years, and the villagers have paid regularly.

"This year is affected by high temperature, rain and other weather, resulting in a significant decline in cotton production, which is caused by natural disasters, should be awarded.

But the farmer applied to the insurance company for identification and compensation. The company has not sent anyone to investigate, nor has it said anything about compensation.

In the past, we also reflected high temperatures and droughts. Every time we replied to normal conditions, we never made claims.

The staff of the Xinjiang branch of PICC said on the phone that the insurance claims for cotton, including losses caused by strong winds and hail, had just included the loss of pests and diseases this year.

However, losses caused by high temperatures are not within the scope of claims.

Cotton production and cotton prices have declined.

The enthusiasm for planting has been frustrated. Many cotton farmers say they will adjust their planting plans next year.

"We are also thinking about not planting cotton next year, but we are accustomed to planting other crops."

Guma Yiming said he had plans to give up planting cotton, but for him, it was also a challenge to replant crops that were unfamiliar to him.

Unlike Guma Yiming, Batur Abla of the Tso Tower Village in the county of Kuche was adjusted ahead of schedule.

His family has 45 acres of land and has been planting cotton before.

Because cotton prices were bad last year, according to the recommendations of the village, all of them were converted into sugar beets this year. "A few days ago, they were dragged to the cooperatives in the village and sold for 100 thousand yuan, and the money had already been received.

If we did not listen to the recommendations in the village, we made timely adjustments, and this year there is no such a good income. "

Face the state

The adjustment of takeover policy, as early as the beginning of this year, made a response to Xinjiang, and issued a guiding plan for reducing cotton planting area in 2015. The annual plan is to reduce cotton planting area by 4 million 665 thousand mu, and reduce the scale to 15.72%.

"Last year, we subsidized 1.3 yuan per kilogram of cotton and sold it at an average price of 7 yuan per kilogram of cotton. What else do we know this year?" Kurban Iti planted 45 mu of cotton in kimu o La village. This year, production is reduced, and the purchase price is low, so it is difficult to repay the loan.

A total of 130 villagers have planted cotton through bank loans this year, with a personal loan of 50 thousand yuan and a total loan amount of 2 million yuan.

But at present, only 30 households can repay the loan through the sale of cotton.

Yan An, a resident cadre of Xinjiang Agricultural University, said that some of the villagers had not been able to sell the cotton this year, and the funds had not yet been returned. In addition, cotton production and prices were double low this year, and the sales amount was not enough to repay the loan.

This will lead to bad credit records, which will be even more difficult next year.

"

It is an important cash crop in Xinjiang and the main source of income for many farmers. The state's adjustment of cotton purchase policy is conducive to the integration of cotton prices with international standards. However, subsidy policy should be flexible and how to issue further research. "

Yan An said that in the case of widespread cotton disaster this year, the number of subsidies will affect the enthusiasm of cotton growers.

Dai Gongxing, President of the China Cotton Association, pointed out at the national cotton situation analysis conference that China's stock of staple agricultural products is generally large, and the price is higher than that of foreign countries. The import volume is large, and the supply of cotton market exceeds demand, and the space for price increase is small.

Moreover, domestic cotton has structural problems, low grade cotton supply is excessive, and high-grade cotton is relatively scarce, so it is difficult to meet the production requirements of downstream textile enterprises.
