The Cotton Producing Areas In China Have Entered The Stage Of Land Preparation And Broadcasting.

After the beginning of the Spring Festival, with the temperature rising gradually, the cotton producing areas in China gradually entered the stage of preparation for the land preparation, but the majority of cotton farmers were not eager to work in the fields. Most farmers had a wait-and-see attitude towards whether the new crop year continued to grow cotton.

It is understood that the demand for raw materials for textile enterprises has basically stagnated, and some cotton related enterprises are expected to have a range of 12000 to 13000 yuan / ton of cotton price fluctuation in the mainstream market in the near future.

In addition, some market professionals said that in the context of the current overall economic environment and the low commodity price performance, even if farmers in cotton areas have reduced their cotton planting area, it is unlikely that they will have a significant impact on cotton prices, because market demand is declining under the market downturn, and the impact of output on prices is negligible.

Statistics released by relevant agencies show that cotton output in China was only about 5 million tons in 2015, a decrease of 1 million 500 thousand tons compared with 6 million 500 thousand tons in 2014.

Although cotton production has declined a lot, cotton prices have not been boosted. In 2015, the purchase price and sale price of seed cotton and lint are still at a low level in history, and the income of cotton farmers has not increased.

According to the reporter, up to now, the cotton farmers' subsidy has been granted to farmers in Xinjiang cotton area, and the income of cotton farmers in Xinjiang area has not been reduced much compared with that in previous years.

In the mainland cotton region, although the government subsidies for cotton farmers have also been put in place, but because of the lower seed cotton purchase price, the income of cotton farmers in the mainland has dropped more than in previous years.

In recent years, due to the continuous downturn in domestic cotton market demand and the influx of imported cotton and cotton yarn, the domestic seed cotton purchase price has been declining continuously, and the cost of seed cotton has increased rapidly. Although the government has subsidized cotton farmers, the price of agricultural film and fertilizer has also helped farmers grow cotton.

But this can not offset the adverse impact of lower seed cotton purchase price on Farmers' income, and many farmers have gradually abandoned cotton cultivation.

In an interview with some of the cotton ginning plants, reporters learned that during the cotton growing and harvesting process last year, there were also adverse weather conditions in cotton fields, resulting in a decline in the quality and yield of seed cotton, which also affected the income of cotton farmers.

It is understood that there is still part of the cotton farmers in the mainland cotton seed sale has not yet been sold, Xinjiang cotton area cotton seed cotton has been sold.

Recently, the agencies concerned were Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Anhui and so on.

Cotton farmers' intention to cotton planting has been investigated this year. From the survey, farmers' intention to grow cotton area in various cotton areas has continued to decline. Many farmers still have a wait-and-see attitude towards whether to grow cotton this year.

The market is expected to reduce cotton planting area by 10% this year.

"The domestic textile industry is very depressed this year.

The situation of weak demand for downstream will not be changed. The price of lint and seed cotton will not perform well in the new crop year. Under such market conditions, farmers' enthusiasm for cotton planting is certainly not high.

Zhou Dalong, manager of the Ministry of agricultural products, Lu Xian, told reporters that the domestic spot market is rich in cotton resources, and that the price of Zheng cotton has continuously hit a low level in recent years. In addition, there are still many low-quality seed cotton for sale in the mainland, such as the Yangtze River valley cotton region, and the market is pessimistic about the price forecast for cotton in the later period.
