Analysis Of Cotton Production In Jiangxi This Year

< p > a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > cotton < /a > is an important material related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. It is also an important source of income for farmers in cotton growing areas.

< /p >

< p > this year, cotton planting area in the province is 1 million 197 thousand mu, a decrease of 74 thousand mu compared with last year, with a decrease of 5.8%.

Among them, the main production area of Jiujiang cotton planting area of 896 thousand mu, a decrease of 56 thousand mu over the previous year.

In Pengze county and Duchang County, more than 100 thousand mu of cotton planting counties were reduced by more than 10%, and the planting area of Ruichang households was reduced by nearly 50%.

From the point of view of the whole province, retail investors do not know much about the target price policy, plus the planting habit, the area is not greatly reduced.

< /p >

< p > due to favorable weather conditions, cotton growth in the whole province is better than in previous years.

The cotton weather was good in early April, and the emergence rate of cotton after sowing was high.

From the end of April to the end of May, there was no strong cold air effect. The temperature fluctuated little.

In early June, with sunny weather and high temperature, the growth of cotton seedlings was accelerated.

Provincial Agriculture Department responsible person said, the main varieties of the province are generally excellent.

< /p >

< p > although the cotton growth is gratifying, the price of cotton has worried the majority of cotton farmers.

It is understood that at present, the seed cotton price in our province is 8.4 yuan / kg, 0.1 percentage points lower than the same period last year.

Liao Chunhong, a cotton grower in Dalong village of Hukou County, made an account: "last year, my labor cost per mu of cotton per mu was 983.3 yuan, and the material cost was 467.8 yuan per mu, which is two times more than that in 2011, while the net income per mu is only 539 yuan, which is 300 yuan more than that in 2011."

Throughout the province, cotton production is characterized by high production costs and low comparative efficiency.

The information provided by the Provincial Department of agriculture shows that in 2011 and 2012, the cotton prices in the whole province decreased by 16% and 18% respectively, and the net income per mu decreased by 38% and 43.3% respectively. In 2013, although cotton prices rose slightly, the yield per unit area decreased, and the net income of planting one mu of cotton was only 529 yuan.

This year, the cotton is growing well, and the yield is expected to increase, but the price is expected to fall further, so the net income may decline again.

< /p >

< p > reporter learned in the interview that as the price of cotton is entirely determined by the market and the risk of planting is increasing, if the price of new cotton is not ideal this year, the majority of retail investors will withdraw from the < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > cotton planting < /a >.

Some cotton fields that have implemented cotton pformation or infrastructure construction in Jiujiang will be replanted into grain crops or cash crops.

< /p >

< p > because of the difficulty in grasping the market and increasing market risk, many cotton acquisitions and cotton purchase will be more cautious this year.

Some large cotton purchasing enterprises said that in the current situation of high cotton stock, the price of Jiangxi seed cotton listing may fall to 6 yuan per kilogram this year.

< /p >

< p > for this reason, some grass-roots cadres have appealed to increase the policy support to make farmers grow cotton profitable.

At present, cotton in the province is only 15 yuan per mu, and less than 1/10 of the grain subsidy.

The provincial and municipal governments should focus on supporting large cotton farmers and subsidize cotton planting for more than 50 acres of households.

The comrades in the agricultural sector suggested that the government should improve the subsidy for cotton seed production, but it must be supplementation in the production link, instead of being supplementation in the sales link. It should not take the old road of "raising the downstream price, lowering the price at home and abroad, being affected by the foreign market, and finally paying the farmers".

At the same time, we should start the construction of standard cotton fields, restore the demonstration base of cotton production, and increase the intensity of high-yield cotton production.

< /p >

< p > quality should be reduced.

At present, the mechanized operation of cotton seed planting, pplanting, plant protection and harvesting has not made substantial progress, and the degree of mechanization of cotton planting is low.

We should increase investment in science and technology and raise the scientific and technological level of < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > cotton farmers < /a > cotton planting. We should adopt a series of cotton planting techniques such as improved varieties, rational close planting, light cultivation, soil testing and formulated fertilization, comprehensive prevention and control of diseases, pests and weeds, so as to improve cotton production level, improve mechanized cotton planting and improve cotton planting efficiency.

Only when the cost is low, the quality is high and the price falls, can we stabilize the domestic market and resist the impact of foreign markets.
