Shandong: A Few Cotton Ginning Plants Have Better Growing Cotton Seeds.

Recently, some small cotton ginning plants in Dezhou, Liaocheng and other places in Shandong province have begun to buy seed cotton, and cotton farmers still sell at home. There are obvious signs of re opening the market.
On the 12 day, a boss of a ginning factory in Liaocheng said that the main purchase price of the local cotton seed was 2.80-3.00 yuan / jin (lint percentage 38-40%, moisture regain 11%) in the white cotton grade 3, and the 1 grade purchase price of white cotton grade 4 and light spot cotton was 2.70-2.85 yuan / Jin, all of which dropped by 0.15-0.20 yuan / Jin before the Spring Festival.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, Shandong cotton growers only finished about 70% sales of cotton seeds before the Spring Festival, while the remaining cotton was still in the hands of cotton farmers and cotton traders. Cotton mill generally can buy 5000-10000 kg of seed cotton a day.
However, the cotton mill introduces the characteristics of seed cotton in recent years: first, good quality. The white cotton grade 3 is mainly, the length is 27-28 millimeters, the micron level is at B2 level (4.3-4.9), the length uniformity is mainly U3 (80.0-82.9), and the fracture strength is better than S2 (29.0-30.9). The two is more dispersed. At present, most of the seed cotton is still stored in the hands of cotton farmers, which is stored in a single family, 1-2 kilograms, and hundreds of catties.
Because of good quality, most cotton farmers insist on price, but they do not want to stay at home. Because hot summer is coming, cotton will become more and more difficult to store. Moreover, the dispersed seed cotton also limits the storage schedule.
In addition, the vast majority of new cotton in Shandong province has sprout this year. From the perspective of seedling, this year's growth is better. Cotton farmers are busy with field management, spraying herbs to weed, loosen soil and preserve soil moisture. A cotton farmer in Dezhou named Li is optimistic that this year's output is expected to exceed 2019. Cottonseed sales are also in progress. As of 12 days, the mainstream price of cottonseed in Dezhou area was 1.25-1.26 yuan / jin (about 13% of wool seed oil).
According to market estimates, cotton is expected to get warmer in the near future, so some of the ginning plants and traders are greatly improved.
