Cangzhou, Hebei: Cotton Farmers' Mood Is Pessimistic And Cotton Area Is Reduced Greatly.

Recently, the weather in Cangzhou, Hebei is mainly sunny, which is a good opportunity for cotton farmers to sow seeds in spring. However, I seldom saw cotton farmers sowing in several cotton producing areas in Hejian, Dongguang and Xianxian County. It turned out that most cotton growers were pessimistic about cotton planting this year, and the number of cotton producers increased.
On the 27 day, a Hejian cotton grower introduced that in 2019, 11 mu of cotton was planted, with an average yield of nearly 500 Jin / mu. However, because of the low price, the average selling price was only 3.95 yuan / Jin, and up to now there were still hundreds of kilograms of cotton not sold, that is to say, in 2019, seed cotton was completely depleted.
It is understood that due to the outbreak of the epidemic after the Spring Festival this year, many cotton farmers have not sold the seed cotton, and not only did they not make money, but also some cotton farmers had a cost, so many cotton growers gave up cotton.
Up to now, cotton planting in Cangzhou area has completed more than 80%, and is expected to be completed in early May. However, the total area of this year is no more than 130 thousand mu, which is nearly 70 thousand mu less than that of 20 mu in 2019.
Therefore, some ginning factory bosses are very pessimistic to say that the whole province of Hebei has basically no cotton processing, so we can either go to Xinjiang to develop or change into other industries.
