2016 Cotton Growers In China

In 2015, cotton production in China was greatly reduced, according to the state.

According to the market monitoring system, the total output of cotton in 2015 was 5 million 216 thousand tons, a decrease of 21.2% over the same period last year.

In the era of earning more money than farming, cotton farmers gradually began to give up seed cotton.

During this period, the cotton farmers in Xinjiang counted many times, but they did not earn any money.

The local cotton growers in Xinjiang said that in 2016, the situation of subsidy should not be seen in cotton planting. If cotton subsidies were not in place, some cotton farmers would like to contract out the land. The general contract fee was 550-700 yuan / mu, and the drought and waterlogging were guaranteed.

It is predicted that in 2016, Xinjiang

Area and output will continue to decrease by 10-15%.

Long staple cotton is another scene.

In 2015, Xinjiang's long staple cotton had a "two increase and one drop".

Two increase, first, increase in output.

In 2015, the area of long staple cotton in Akesu reached 2 million mu, a record high, and its output exceeded 100 thousand tons, an increase of 40-50% over the previous years.

The other is revenue growth.

In 2015, cotton farmers who planted long staple cotton in Xinjiang mostly made money.

For example, a Awati cotton farmer, long staple cotton yield per 270 kg / mu, the average sales price of 8 yuan / kg, gross income 2160 yuan / mu, if plus 1.3 times the subsidy, gross income in 2800 yuan / mu.

"Minus the cost of 2200 yuan / mu, the net income is 600 yuan / mu."

The cotton grower said.

Most cotton farmers in 2016 said they would continue to plant long staple cotton.

In recent years, China's textile industry has been developing towards the high end, and the demand for long staple cotton has also been on the rise. The advantages of long staple cotton are gradually emerging. The industry estimates that in 2016, the area of Akesu's long staple cotton increased to more than 2 million 300 thousand mu, and reached a new high.

Inland

The situation of mainland cotton farmers is less than that of Xinjiang.

Why? Maybe it is because most of the farmers in the mainland are responsible fields. Many of them are 5 or 6 mu, and 1 or 2 mu are scattered. They do not have to pay the contract fee, pay some agricultural materials and work which can not be calculated.

In fact, the cotton farmers in the mainland are losing money badly.

Low yield, big pay, loss of seed cotton, low subsidies, a drop in the bucket, it is difficult to quench thirst.

Taking Hebei as an example, the subsidy granted to cotton growers in 2014 was 175 yuan per mu, which could not stimulate the cotton farmers to continue to grow cotton.

In addition, there is a very important reason. In recent years, the mainland farmers have gone out to work, and their working income is generally 3000-4000 yuan / month. Most of them stay in the countryside are old, weak, women and children.

From this point of view, the cotton planting area will continue to decrease in 2016, and the planting area of long staple cotton will increase, which to a certain extent can alleviate the textile enterprises' demand for high-quality cotton.
