Binzhou, Shandong: market downturn, typhoon hitting cotton quality low price

to pay attention to the situation of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > cotton > /a > price depression. From the beginning of this year, cotton futures rose from 19165 yuan per ton to 20160 yuan per ton, or 5%. It seems that cotton prices have risen steadily, but in fact, cotton prices in February last year were 22410 yuan per ton, 11% higher than the current price.

The price of cotton in February 2011 was 34870 yuan per ton, which is 82% higher than the current price.

It can be said that cotton is in a downturn.

Now it is still a few days from the end of the state's purchase and storage of cotton in Binzhou, Shandong and other places. What about the sale situation of local a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_f.asp" > cotton growers < /a >?

in the cotton field of Wang Jianjun, a large cotton farmer in Binzhou, Shandong, the reporter saw that he was picking up the remaining cotton stalks from last year, and was going to pull them home for firewood burning.

What puzzles reporters is that there are still many cotton that are not picked when they are prepared for firewood. According to the latest market price, a catty cotton can be sold for at least 1 yuan.

Shandong Binzhou cotton grower Wang Jianjun: look at this cotton peach, what do we want him to use? One yuan (a Jin) is not enough for labor, and there is still more to lose.

There is no way to feel heartache. We have to pick up more money and get rid of labor costs.

reporter learned that Wang Jianjun planted more than 100 mu of cotton last year. After a typhoon "Davi", all cotton fields in his home were flooded, and more than 30 acres of cotton fields were almost destroyed.

Shandong Binzhou cotton grower Wang Jianjun: the reduction of output is nearly 2/3, that is, 500 catties of cotton per year, and this year it will not receive 80 catties of one mu of land. This is so great that the cotton in this field is less than 80 Jin, and the good cotton is 2 or 300 Jin. The profit of one mu of land is not equal to that of artificial labor.

in addition to low output, cotton grades also declined. The 90% cotton grades of his family were below four grade. Until the state started 5 grade cotton storage and storage, Wang Jianjun's cotton was collected.

But the best cotton can be sold to about 4 yuan per catty, while most cotton can only be sold for about 1 yuan.

Shandong Binzhou cotton grower Wang Jianjun: most of them have to be bought up. Like this, there is no need to use it. This account for more than half. 01-03-23-06 ten Jin has a catty of good cotton, half of a dollar, 5 jin is like this, and there are bad, four Jin like this kind of nobody wants.

by March 22nd, the stock of seed cotton in cotton growers in Binzhou area of Shandong was less than 5%.

Shandong provincial cotton production technology guidance Station Zhao Hongliang: the initial statistics are about 3600000 mu, of which about 600000 mu of the highest yield is produced. Of course, there is a drop in yield in the hardest hit area. The output of the whole northern Dongying Binzhou area is about 40%. The quality of the 02-11-56-24 should be relatively poor, and below four can account for 50% to 60%.

Lao Lu's profit defending war /p >

according to our reporter, the cotton purchased by processing enterprises in Binzhou District of Shandong this year is mainly made up of five grades of low quality cotton, which makes the local cotton processing enterprises very sad. In order not to lose money, the owners of cotton enterprises have racked their brains.

"P > > half a year later, the reporter once again came to Lu Hongwen's processing plant to see that there was only one old Lu in the factory.

In the last interview, Lao Lu was sitting in his office waiting for the workers to come to work. This time, the reporter saw Lao Lu alone cleaning the machine.

Lao Lu told reporters that since last September, if he could do it himself, he would do it himself, in order to save money.

Shandong Binzhou Xinyuan cotton processing company general manager Lu Hong Wen: no way, able to do their own, now the employment is still very expensive, looking for a general worker to get 100 yuan a day, 00-46-48-24 inspection, weight, supervision is that I collect 3 or 40 thousand jin a day, every year do not have to manage, we are sitting in the office, {page_break}

.

Lao Lu took the reporter to the backyard, pointing to a pile of mouldy cotton petals on the floor, telling reporters that the increase of these mouldy cotton petals was the main reason for squeezing the profits of enterprises.

The cotton in the catty of a catty of the cotton will have 32 mildew and grey cotton petals, but not one or two in the past year.

The quality of cotton accounts for more than 50% of this year's purchase volume, and the profits of enterprises are completely squeezed out.

Shandong Binzhou Xinyuan < a href= > http://www.91se91.com/news/index_h.asp > > cotton processing > /a > General Manager Lu Hong Wen: These are the two batches of cotton that I have arranged so much. My more than 40 normal batches, and now the two batches exclude so much. What I row out of four cotton, 3 yuan and 2 cents per pound, 3 yuan and 2 cents, which sell 2000 yuan, one yuan a Jin, one ton with 6000,

in order to avoid losing line, six months ago, Lao Lu tried his best.

From last October, he took two workers to Xinjiang to rent factories to process cotton, and saw that Xinjiang's cotton was also getting less and less. Before the Spring Festival this year, Lao Lu had no choice but to return to Binzhou, and began to buy cotton from Jiangsu, Gansu and Shaanxi.

But this year, the volume of processing is still down sharply.

Lu Hongwen, general manager of Xinyuan cotton processing Co., Binzhou, Shandong Province: (past years), I passed the Spring Festival every year till 1000 tons to 2000 tons, and now I have less than 300 tons of dry goods, and I have managed to reduce 4000 tons this year by half.

cotton processing: the profit is reduced by 40% and the 90% enterprises stop working

the experience of Lao Lu is not a case. In the whole Binzhou area of Shandong, most of the processing enterprises began to stop work after the Spring Festival. At present, there are 5 working days from the national cotton storage and storage. Now, more than 90% cotton processing enterprises in Binzhou area have been closed.

this is the most concentrated cotton purchase street in Binzhou, Shandong. At this time of the year, the street is busiest. The cars that send cotton and cotton to the street are full of streets, and buyers and cotton farmers can be seen everywhere.

This year, the whole street did not see a big cart pulling cotton. Only a few piles of cotton were stacked on the roadside, and some cotton pits were even exposed directly outside, blown away by the wind.

Zhang Yusheng has been buying cotton for more than 10 years, and this year he basically confiscated the cotton after the Spring Festival. He said that the local cotton grade five cotton standard had been collected before the Spring Festival.

The remaining 5 levels can not reach, no processing enterprises, may lose money to sell.

Zhang Yusheng, cotton buyer of Binzhou, Shandong: in, at least one hundred and eighty thousand of the cars were sold in the past year, and three cars and four cars were sold. This year, we are playing with P, waiting for two days and one or two days of the first year. Now this product is enough for a month. We can't sell it without moving.

in the Binzhou Guotai cotton processing plant, the reporter saw that the pipes that were blown down by the wind could be seen everywhere, and no machine was cleaned up.

Corporate executives say profits have fallen by more than 40%.

Zhang Zhonghang, director of Guotai cotton processing Co., Ltd., Binzhou, Shandong Province: this problem level is not enough. The proportion of stiff petals is too large, accounting for 1/3. All of these have to be shot, so it is very difficult for the processing industry to do so.

cotton is too bad, no profit, good cotton can not be bought, which allows Zhang Zhonghang to stop processing after the Spring Festival.

demand is low. Processing enterprises dare not store up cotton > /strong > /p >

in the interview, the reporter learned that after the end of the state's purchase and storage, the cotton processing enterprises will leave part of their inventory to the market of cotton spot market, and this year, because of the low willingness to purchase textile enterprises and the spot trading of cotton, the cotton processing enterprises lose confidence and have no intention of hoarding cotton again.

Next, we will take a look at the reporter's investigation.

.

after visiting several cotton processing plants in Binzhou, Shandong, the reporter noted that no cotton lint was visible in these cotton processing plants.

This means that the processing enterprises have abandoned gambling to the spot market and handed over all their stocks to the national reserve.

Binzhou Guotai cotton processing plant director Zhang Zhonghang of Shandong Province: this year the spot market is much more needless to say, spinning enterprises are also not good at doing so. This year's spot market is hard to sell. This year's market is that we must pay for storage. If it can not be sold, it will be hard to sell and no order.

Lu Hongwen, general manager of Xinyuan cotton processing Co., Binzhou, Shandong Province: if the market is good in the past years, I dare to save a little. At the most time, I can save 7 or 800 tons, or thousands of tons.

it is understood that Shandong's cotton reserves account for about 90% of cotton output this year.

In a textile enterprise in Binzhou, Shandong, the reporter learned that after the middle of March, the order volume of textile enterprises appeared a decline of about 20%. In order to reduce costs, enterprises began to reduce raw material stocks and buy with them.

> Cui Fengjiang, chairman of Shandong Binzhou run textile Co., Ltd.: now, keep the inventory for about one to two weeks. Basically, it should normally be in the stock from one month to 2 months, because now the market is not good, and the price of raw materials is also uncertain. Now we dare not save too much.

the latest data show that by the end of 2013, the state's storage capacity reached 6 million 440 thousand tons, accounting for about 87% of the total output of the country, an increase of 115% over the same period last year.

Some analysts believe that although the textile industry orders in February have been restored, but still down about 30% compared to the same period, the textile industry is still in a weak market.
