Cotton Target Price Changed To "Three Years" Xinjiang Cotton Innovation Road Opens

The national development and Reform Commission recently issued the circular on deepening the reform of cotton target prices. From 2017, the target price of cotton was changed from "one year" to "three years" in the pilot period.

The subsidy method should be adjusted and optimized, the upper limit management should be carried out, and the subsidy exceeding the ceiling should not be subsidized.

From 2017 to 2019, the target price of cotton in Xinjiang was 18600 yuan per ton, unchanged from last year.

Why do we need to carry out price fixing? What impact will this policy bring to cotton farmers? How should cotton farmers plan their future production? At the time of spring sowing season, journalists will come to the field of long staple cotton in China, Awati County, Akesu, Xinjiang.

In April, Xinjiang's southern Xinjiang was shining and everything was revived.

On that day, Li Xinghua, a farmer in the village of surkzaq, in the village of Dolan Township, VAT County, was busy at home fertilizing the walnut tree.

He told reporters that a total of 110 acres of land, has been planted for more than 20 years of cotton, he has a clear account of the cotton market prices and their income.

"In 2010, the revenue was the best, with more than 170 mu of land and a net profit of about 300000 yuan.

It was in that year that seed prices and planting areas began to rise, but cotton prices began to decline after that year. "

Li Xinghua told reporters that unlike the kinds of grain, cotton grows throughout the year.

At present, his 110 acres of land have 50 acres of cotton, and the rest are replanted to walnuts.

After the implementation of the cotton target price reform in 2014, the state no longer stores and stores cotton prices.

In the autumn of 2014, the newly harvested long staple cotton could be sold to more than 8 yuan per kilogram, while ordinary cotton was only 6 yuan. In 2015, the cotton price dropped to 5 yuan.

"2011, 2012, 2013, three years, the State implements the national cotton store, and what is different now is that the state directly gives the money to the enterprise, and the enterprise restores the money to the enterprise.

Actually, the international cotton price is also cheaper and the price is not good.

2014, 2015, 2016, three years of target price reform, long staple cotton is about 7 to 8 yuan, cotton is not the same, about 5 to 7 yuan.

After the target price reform is carried out, if the market price of cotton exceeds the target price and the state does not interfere with the market price, if the market price is lower than the target price, the state will subsidize cotton farmers.

In the past 2014-2016 years, the target price of cotton in China was 19800 yuan, 19100 yuan and 18600 yuan per ton respectively.

Since the implementation of the target price subsidy pilot policy, although domestic cotton prices have dropped and domestic and foreign cotton prices have been narrowed, the loss of cotton farmers has been made up to some extent because of the support of national subsidy policies.

Jiang Shoulin, 48, is a native of Awati, Xinjiang. The couple live on cotton all year round.

When the reporter saw Jiang Shoulin, he was working with his wife and an employee in their own place before planting.

Jiang Shoulin told reporters that at the moment he had prepared the agricultural materials needed for the spring ploughing and waited for the water to start farming.

Referring to the income in recent years, he said, it is still practiced by the state.

The target price reform has helped him a lot.

"In 2015, long staple cotton was planted, and the yield was not high at high temperature, and a mu of land was just over 200 kilograms.

The first time it was sold was 8 yuan 10 Fen, second times sold 7 yuan, 6 cents.

Total less than 10 tons of cotton, more than 70 thousand yuan, and spent about 25 thousand yuan.

Subsidize a kilogram of long staple cotton is 2 yuan 5 wool 8, plus the area supplement and the output supplement, two kind of down is 30 thousand yuan.

After selling the cotton harvested last year, Jiang Shoulin found that he could not make much money after all the expenses had been plough out, while the state's subsidy to cotton farmers filled his profits.

He gave reporters such an account: in 2015, no compensation, even subsidies plus their own income of more than 40 mu of land earned more than 10 thousand yuan; in 2016 the output can be, long staple cotton (one mu) has received 360 kilograms, the current gross income is 110 thousand yuan, subsidies how much, now do not know, now has 5 cents 16 tons of cotton to make up for 8 thousand yuan.

In response to the slump of cotton prices, Li Xinghua, a cotton grower in Akesu, Xinjiang, adjusted the planting structure in 2015, replanted 60 mu of land to walnuts, and changed 50 acres to drip cotton.

He believes that the adjustment of cotton target price reform policy needs to change the concept, adjust the planting structure and improve production.

And benefits.

"In recent years, enterprises have requirements for quality, varieties, fiber length, impurities, moisture and tensile strength.

Our management and all aspects are in place, and what we earn is our own management. If we do not have this subsidy price, it must be lost. "

Yang Songlin, a cotton grower in Awati, Xinjiang, hopes that the state's subsidy to cotton can be higher.

"Subsidized countries are definitely good for cotton farmers.

We hope that the best way to get rid of the cost is more than 9 yuan, so that farmers can have a little profit, and hope to get the subsidy money as soon as possible. "

Xinjiang's cotton output accounts for more than 50% of the total output of the country, while half of the farmers in Xinjiang are planting cotton.

The implementation of target price reform plays a very important role in the livelihood of cotton farmers, the trend of cotton and its entire industrial chain.

The national development and Reform Commission has just announced that from this year, the target price of cotton will be changed from "one year" to "three years".

Zhai Xueling, director of the rural economic research center of the Ministry of agriculture, believes that after this adjustment, the development prospect of cotton will be better.

"At present, 18600 is still able to protect farmers' interests well.

My suggestion is not only to see the cotton market, but also to look at the future price movements and policy changes of other crops competing with cotton, so that it will be more convenient for farmers to decide which crops to plant.

At the same time, we should take a look at the cotton production in recent 16 years.

Down to the lowest level in recent years.

The continuous rapid decline will lead to a return to a reasonable level of cotton's whole industry inventory next year, and cotton prices may go out of the trough.

Therefore, compared with other crops, the yield of cotton is still considerable.
