Cotton Prices At Home And Abroad Are Seriously Hung Up On The Predicament Behind Xinjiang'S High Yield Of Cotton.

Predicament:

"Roller coaster" market end cotton farmers in the heart or not down to the truth

It's time for lunch. At noon on October 8th, Ma Zhongxin sent a big pot of fried white lotus and a large barrel of rice to the ground, and asked a group of flower picker in the cotton field to have dinner.

After 24 years of cotton planting, Ma Zhongxin has become an expert in Chen Jia Qu village, six town in Manasi county. Every year, there are always some cotton growers in North and South Xinjiang to study in his village.

"My cotton planting technology is very mature, but I can't control the weather or the market."

Ma Zhongxin's words made the reporter feel the pressure of his heart.

Manasi County farmers and herdsmen per capita annual income has been ranked in the forefront of the whole country, scientific cotton breeding is indispensable, Ma Zhongxin is one of the many benefited cotton farmers.

Although cotton prices fluctuated in recent years, he lost more than ten million yuan in 2001, but he insisted on planting cotton, and now it has grown to 400 mu.

Growing cotton makes him nervous and jumpy. He can taste more sweetness. He knows clearly that the government is considering the interests of cotton farmers everywhere.

After the introduction of the cotton temporary purchase and storage policy, the cotton price has stabilized, and the cost of planting is higher and higher.

Moreover, when the cotton is sold, the quality of the cotton purchased by the acquiring enterprises is higher and higher.

We can only take the market price. "

Ma Zhong complained about bitterness.

The year before last, Ma Zhongxin's net income of one mu of cotton reached 2000 yuan, which was 1400 yuan last year, and only 800 yuan this year.

Profit space is occupied by high cost.

He wrote accounts to reporters: "the rise in agricultural costs is not so high that the labor cost is too high.

I hired more than 40 pick up workers to pick up a kilogram of cotton and pay two yuan. Besides, I also pack them round trip tickets to manage them to eat and lodge.

From sowing in April to picking in October, the labor cost per mu is 1000 yuan.

Li Deming, director of the Department of crop management of the Agriculture Department of the autonomous region, calculates that the average cost of planting one mu of cotton in Xinjiang is 1714 yuan this year. According to the cotton price of that day, if the output of seed cotton is 300 kilograms per mu, the profit per mu will be only 600 yuan.

"Since the introduction of the cotton temporary storage and storage policy last year, the state has played a positive role in stabilizing the enthusiasm of Xinjiang cotton growers and the cotton planting area. Xinjiang's cotton price has ended the" roller coaster "market since then, but the normal production of cotton does not mean that there is no problem.

For example, this year, the price rise of production data is far higher than that of the temporary purchase and storage price. Some acquisition enterprises have reduced the cotton lint (indicating the quality of cotton) and grades, and the reduction of international cotton prices has led to a serious hang up of cotton prices at home and abroad.

Li Deming said.

Seed cotton is 0.2 to 0.4 yuan lower than last year's kilogram, and the proportion of cotton that goes to market price increases.

Li Deming worries that cotton purchase is not optimistic this year.

The imported lint of less than 5000 yuan per ton of domestic price is bound to cause changes in the cotton market in the territory.
