In 2015, The Total Output Of Cotton In China Declined.

It is understood that in 2015, the cotton planting area in China was 3 million 799 thousand hectares, a decrease of 10% over last year. Of these, the cotton area in the the Yellow River River Basin decreased by 182 thousand and 900 hectares (2 million 744 thousand mu) and decreased by 14.8%.

The national cotton production statistics released by the National Bureau of statistics show that

5 million 605 thousand tons, down 574 thousand tons from 2014, down 9.3%.

In 2015, the cotton planting area in China was 3 million 799 thousand hectares (56 million 984 thousand mu), a decrease of 423 thousand and 400 hectares (6 million 351 thousand mu), a decrease of 10% over 2014, and a reduction of 619 thousand tons due to reduced planting area.

In terms of regional distribution, the cotton planting area in Xinjiang decreased by 49 thousand hectares (735 thousand mu) compared with that in 2014, and decreased by 2.5%. Other areas decreased by 374 thousand and 400 hectares (5 million 616 thousand acres), and the decrease was 16.5%, the decrease was larger than that of last year.

According to different regions, the main cotton areas in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Basin yield less.

Among them, the cotton area in the the Yellow River River Basin decreased by 182 thousand and 900 hectares (2 million 744 thousand mu), a decrease of 14.8%; the per unit area yield decreased by 30.5 kg (2.03 kg / mu) per hectare, and decreased by 2.8%; the total output decreased by 231 thousand tons, and decreased by 17.2%.

The cotton area in the Yangtze River Basin decreased by 170 thousand and 500 hectares (2 million 558 thousand mu), and decreased by 17.8%. However, the per unit area yield increased by 63.3 kg (4.2 kg / mu) per hectare and increased by 5.8%, resulting in a reduction of 136 thousand tons in total production and a decrease of 13.1%.

After mid November, some of the best

Prices rose slightly over 100 yuan / ton, and the procurement of textile enterprises is still in hot pursuit.

The quality of cotton in the Yangtze River Basin is poor this year, especially the high horse value, which makes the attitude of spinning enterprises negative. Most of the high and medium yarn enterprises are aiming at the purchase of Xinjiang cotton.

It is understood that as of mid November, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places cotton picking 85%-97% after the Yangtze River Basin, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, the fastest progress, almost finished picking, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jiangxi and other places slightly slower progress.

Comprehensive cotton growers and cotton enterprises feedback, this year the Yangtze River Basin cotton spot main body level is 3128C, only Jiangsu area mostly 4128B grade, the overall quality is not ideal, downstream textile enterprises only some low and medium yarn enterprises purchase local cotton, most of the high and medium yarn enterprises are aiming at Xinjiang cotton purchase.

The quality of cotton is poor this year.

As a result, the number of procurement has been affected, but the most important reason for the difficulty in the sale of cotton enterprises is that the downstream demand has not been significantly improved.

Not only domestic cotton demand is weak, but also the number of imported cotton has been affected.

It is estimated that China's cotton imports will be reduced by 12% to 1 million 600 thousand tons in 2015, which is basically the same as that of 2014 (the quality of domestic cotton in 2014 is obviously better than that in 2015).

The key factor to solve the difficulty of selling cotton is to increase the demand of textile enterprises.

However, at present, the domestic textile industry is facing a dangerous situation. Especially this year, a large number of low grade cotton has springing up.

Where will the domestic cotton crop go in the future?
