Anhui Wangjiang: Cotton Production Is A Foregone Conclusion. Cotton Farmers Are Looking Forward To Raising The Purchasing Price.

The national cotton market monitoring system, Anhui monitoring station, has seen continuous high temperature and short rain since Wangmei County, the main cotton growing area of Anhui Province, after the 20 plum festival in July. Since September 3rd, there has been no rain for 50 days. The soil moisture in cotton fields is getting worse, and cotton appears premature senescence. At present, cotton seed cotton picking has been more than 80%, and cotton production is a foregone conclusion. According to the Lei village of Lei village in, the family has planted 9 mu of cotton this year, and its seed cotton boll opening rate has reached 90%. There are nearly 5000 catties of seed cotton in the family. It is estimated that the yield of seed cotton will reach 550 Jin this year, which will be reduced by 200 Jin / mu compared with last year's output of 750 kg of seed cotton per mu.

This year's long drought has reduced cotton production to cotton farmers, but this year's low seed cotton purchase price is more difficult for cotton farmers to accept. Kim said that the purchase price of cotton seed in the local cotton mill is only 2.85 yuan / Jin, which is 0.70 yuan / Jin lower than the highest price of 3.55 yuan / Jin last year, which is 0.40 yuan / kg lower than the average price of 3.25 yuan last year. His family hasn't sold one or two cotton yet. He said he would wait until after the Spring Festival to see if the price of seed cotton could rise, even if it was 3 yuan / Jin, it would be better to achieve the average price level last year. He said that the desire to raise seed cotton purchase price is the aspiration of all cotton farmers.
