Embarrassment Encountered By Cotton Farmers

Although the cotton harvest was good and the quality was good, it didn't make Zechman Akomatigauchen get up.

Zechman Akomat is a cotton grower in Hong Hai Township, Bachu County, Xinjiang. According to his report, since last autumn, the price of agricultural means of production such as cotton seed, fertilizer, plastic film and pesticide has always been high, and cotton planting is expensive and time-consuming. He believes that the price is not cost-effective now.

At the moment, the peak of cotton purchase in Xinjiang, cotton in Bachu county.

At present, the purchase price of cotton in southern Xinjiang is generally around 8.5 yuan per kilogram. According to the purchase price, the cost of processing 1 tons of cotton is only slightly higher than that of the state.

Liu Jianxue, deputy general manager of Bachu County branch of new cotton group, said: "the purchasing price is far below the expectation of farmers. At this moment, the market price is going to give farmers a satisfactory price, and that is the way to die."

As cotton prices soared last year, Zechman Akomat's 30 acres of arable land were all grown into cotton this spring, without even leaving an acre grain field, and the cotton price at the moment disappointed him.

He said, "there will be no more cotton next year!"

Similar to cotton farmer Zechman Akomat's idea and present situation, let some industry insiders and experts worry unceasingly.

Tan Yanwen, a professor at South China Agricultural University in China, said: "cotton prices are going up and down, which is far more damaging to the psychology of cotton farmers than to the market."

Tan Yanwen analysis, which has long been concerned about the domestic cotton industry, once this year's cotton farmers' confidence is frustrated, it may lead to the reduction of cotton planting area in the coming year, the decline in production, and the emergence of a new round of ups and downs, which has caused the "white industry" to be harmed again.

Mao Shuchun, a researcher at the Cotton Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said: "the stability and volatility of cotton area are large in China.

Due to the foresight of this situation, the state issued a temporary storage policy, announced the beginning of September this year to start the purchase and storage of cotton.

"If it is not for the state to introduce new policies for storing and storing, the cotton price will fall below the current purchasing and storage price."

Some industry experts and experts said that under the influence of the state's "bottom up" policy, the cotton price will not drop significantly.

But at the same time, they believe that our temporary purchasing and storage policy has taken into account the interests of both farmers and textile enterprises, but this is after all a temporary measure to deal with the abnormal fluctuations in the cotton market. The final effect of the new deal remains to be seen.
