Jizhou, Hebei: Epidemic Prevention And Control Situation Improved, Cotton Spot Spot Small Deal

In February 23rd, with the last confirmed case of 8 cases of new crown pneumonia in Hengshui, Hebei, the last one was cured and discharged. All the local confirmed cases were cleared, and there were no new cases since half a month. Inspired by this, the relevant departments in Jizhou District of Hengshui City, Hebei Province, take effective measures to encourage local enterprises to carry out their work in an orderly manner while doing a good job in prevention and control.

Hengshui is one of the four major cotton producing areas in Hebei province (the remaining three are Handan, Xingtai and Cangzhou). Jizhou is the main cotton producing area in Hengshui city. The cotton planting area in Jizhou area is nearly half of that of the whole Hengshui City, and only 51 of the 400 cotton processing enterprises in the city account for 1/3. Although 2019/20 cotton's annual real estate business is difficult to make, there are still 7 or 8 cotton enterprises in Jizhou District, which insist on acquisitions and survive in cracks. Since the Spring Festival in 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has spread in Hebei Province, including enterprises such as cotton enterprises, all of which have ceased operation after the festival, and the cotton industry has been greatly affected.

"Spring is warm, sometimes flowers bloom." Since 24, staff members of key positions in some cotton enterprises in Jizhou have been put in place. Although the sale of cotton seeds and cotton has not been started yet, the processing work is waiting for some time. However, the sale of real estate cotton has been started in the early stage. It is understood that on the 25 day, a cotton grade 3127C2 real estate cotton sales in Nan Wu town of the area quoted 13000 yuan / ton (public settlement, with the same ticket), and 1228C2 quoted 12600 yuan / ton, which was nearly 300 yuan / ton before the epidemic. As a means of promotion at a very special time, the above quoted price includes short distance transportation costs within 100 km radius, that is, the above quoted price is the delivered price.

According to the responsible comrades of the cotton enterprise, the purchasing personnel of a textile enterprise in Zhaoxian County, Shijiazhuang, have contacted WeChat to confirm the offer and purchase quantity of 20 tons. If we add financial expenses and short distance freight to the business, we will lose at least 100 yuan / ton per ton. The cotton merchants responsible comrades said: "the current epidemic of textile industry downstream fabric, printing and dyeing and other follow-up effects have not yet completely dissipated, we can only take a look at one step, homeopathic sales, reduce inventory, less compensation for safety."
