The Main Reason For The Sharp Decline Of Cotton Farmers' Enthusiasm For Cotton Growing In Zhijiang, Hubei

March was originally

It is time to prepare for farming, but in Zhijiang, Hubei, few people can mention cotton planting enthusiasm.

Baiyin Cotton Industry Information Center learned that cotton farmers' enthusiasm for cotton seed fell sharply for three main reasons: first, last year

The purchase price is low; two, compared with other crops, cotton has a huge profit disparity; three, the implementation of subsidy policy is not in place.

In the course of the investigation, many cotton growers have reduced their cotton planting intentions this year.

Lou master of Xing long mountain village, Qixing Town, Zhijiang, planted 10 mu of cotton last year, and only 3 acres are planned for this year.

Lou master revealed that cotton prices were too low last year, and they could still sell 3 yuan / Jin in the early stage, and the price was lower and lower in the late stage. The net profit per mu was only about 1000 yuan.

But planting vegetables is different. Taking cauliflower as an example, the yield of broccoli can reach 3000-4000 Jin per mu, the price is 3 yuan / Jin, basically equal to the price of cotton, the price of white vegetables is 1.5-1.6 yuan / Jin, while the cost of cauliflower per mu is only about 2000 yuan, and the net profit of broccoli planting can reach 7000-10000 yuan per mu.

At the same time, there are 3-4 crops growing every year, with less planting cycle and labor saving. Lou Master said that the cotton planting area decreased by 40% this year.

In addition to low cotton planting profits, 70% cotton farmers in the survey said last year.

It's rather vague.

Yang Da Jie, a Gu Jia Dian town in Zhijiang, is deeply dissatisfied with this. "Why do I grow cotton and those who do not grow cotton can get cotton patch? This is unfair."

After hearing that there was a cotton subsidy this time, Mr. Yang heard the issue of the village committee consultation. The village cadres told the cotton subsidy not to be issued separately, but it was distributed with the grain subsidy, and the average distribution was made for every family.

Yang's elder sister revealed that last year's total cultivated land area was 9 mu, of which 5 mu planted cotton, 4 Mu planted corn and wheat, all the subsidies received were 800 yuan, and the specific cotton and grain subsidies were not clear.

At the same time, Dong master of dangcao Lake said that cotton subsidies in the area were also subsidized with rice subsidies, with a total subsidy of 150 yuan per mu.

At present, the Cotton Subsidy Policy of Hubei province has not yet been promulgated, and cotton farmers have strong intentions to abandon cotton. I hope relevant departments can confirm the implementation of relevant policies as soon as possible.
