What Troubles Do Xinjiang Cotton Growers Encounter After Spring Plowing And Planting?

At present, spring plowing and planting are progressively growing.

Cotton farmers from all over the country have received one after another.

Subsidy funds and gradually began to busy purchasing production materials, but also some cotton farmers have encountered annoyances, do not know how to choose?

Whether to continue to plant cotton?

Since 2014, Xinjiang

Down the road, until now, there is no sign of ending. The cotton farmers' income from cotton farming is declining.

Despite the state

A partial loss of cotton farmers was recovered, but the market continued to decline, which made cotton farmers' enthusiasm for cotton planting bottomed out.

Since 2015, the cotton planting area of the whole country and even Xinjiang has seen a larger decline.

According to relevant statistics, the actual cotton reduction area in Xinjiang alone amounted to 5 million 100 thousand mu, and the reduction effect was good and higher than the 4 million 665 thousand mu plan formulated by the government.

To some extent, the bleak income of cotton planting is the biggest contributor to Xinjiang's goal of reducing its target in 2015.

Whether to continue to grow cotton in 2016 has become a worry for some cotton growers.

According to data from relevant agencies, most cotton farmers will still grow cotton this year, and only a handful of cotton farmers will choose other crops.

At the same time, agricultural institutions in Xinjiang have also introduced a reduction plan, but this year the area will be significantly lower than in 2015.

How to choose cotton seeds

As we all know, the quality of cotton seed plays an important role in cotton quality.

As the market structure of cotton resources is out of balance, the price gap between high-quality cotton and low-quality cotton is constantly widening.

Under the guidance of market conditions, cotton farmers gradually abandoned the practice of simply pursuing production and began to pay attention to the internal quality of cotton.

How can cotton farmers find good cotton seeds?

It is understood that there are more than 8000 enterprises on the list of a seed company. If half of them have the ability to cultivate cotton seeds, it means that there are nearly 4000 more cotton seed enterprises in China. When they sell, they will naturally sell their wives and sell their own products, but the truth is that their qualifications are not good enough.

Even professionals can't choose real cotton varieties from these large quantities of products, let alone cotton farmers! At present, cotton farmers in Xinjiang generally choose cotton brands with long local brands and good reputation, hoping to avoid the risk of planting cotton.

How to choose planting mode

At present, there are great differences in cotton planting patterns between southern and Northern Xinjiang.

The area of machine picked cotton in Northern Xinjiang is much higher than that of hand picking cotton. However, due to various factors, hand picking cotton still occupies a dominant position.

Especially for cotton farmers in Northern Xinjiang, whether this year will continue to expand the area of machine picked cotton.

It is reported that in 2015 cotton growers harvested cotton harvested far more than hand picked cotton. The main reason was the low cost of picking cotton and the picking cost of machine picked cotton was 0.6-0.9 yuan / kg, while the artificial picking cost was 2.0-2.2 yuan / kg. The difference between the two was 1 yuan / kg, but the price difference between them was 1 yuan / kg.

In 2015, especially in Xinjiang, the quality of hand picked cotton was greatly reduced to the opportunity of picking cotton.

According to local people's understanding, in 2016, the area of machine picked cotton in Northern Xinjiang will be further expanded.

In 2016, faced with these worries, cotton growers would not be easy to make a choice.
