Enthusiasm For Cotton Planting In Hebei

Recently, Hebei The number of cotton enterprises started in Xingtai, Tangshan, Baoding and other places increased significantly, and seed cotton purchase prices remained at the pre holiday level, but the seed cotton purchasing work was at the end of the season, and the quality of seed cotton decreased greatly. This year, the state will pilot cotton direct subsidy in Xinjiang, while the cotton policy in the mainland is not yet clear. Cotton farmers' enthusiasm for cotton planting in Hebei is decreasing.

In February 18th, the mainstream purchase price of Hebei white cotton 3 level was 4.10-4.23 yuan / jin (lint rate 35-37%, moisture regain 10%), white cotton grade 4 and light pollution cotton grade 2 4.00-4.05 yuan / Jin, light pollution cotton 1 level 4.10 yuan / Jin, cotton enterprise daily purchase quantity in less than ten thousand Jin. According to the test results of a cotton enterprise in Baoding in February, the quality of lint was mainly 41 grades, accounting for more than 50%, which was 40% higher than that in January. The 31 grade only accounted for about 10%, which was more than 10% lower than that in January. Micron value was mainly C2, accounting for about 85%, while B2 was the most important in January. The proportion of non conforming storage requirements accounted for about 6%, slightly higher than in January. After the festival, the quality of seed cotton has declined, and enterprises continue to maintain a cautious attitude towards takeover. The acquisition began picking up foreign fibers and processing them on sunny days to ensure that moisture regain meets the requirements for storage and storage, and avoid the phenomenon of returning stocks.

The main selling price of cottonseed is at 1.33-1.35 yuan / Jin, and cottonseed sales in Baoding and Tangshan have started one after another, but sales are very low. But the festive atmosphere is over. Aquaculture As well as the aquatic product industry has not entered the recovery stage, the cotton by-product transaction is limited, the market needs to wait and see. At present, cotton enterprises in Tangshan are not in a hurry to sell, until the price of cottonseed prices rise again for sale. Baoding cotton enterprises need timely turnover of cotton seeds because of the need for capital turnover. Market analysis, because cottonseed squeezing profit has been relatively low, cotton oil manufacturers low inventory, after the holidays have increased their own sales quotes, but due to the light after the transaction, cotton sub market temporarily stable.

During the visit to Cangzhou and Xingtai, it was learned that with the understanding of cotton growers' national policies, Xinjiang will be pilot in 2014. cotton "Direct subsidy", and the mainland policy is not clear. Cotton farmers worry that the cotton prices in the mainland will drop substantially. Cotton farmers in Cangzhou will grow crops such as wheat and pepper. Xingtai Weixian County belongs to the traditional cotton planting area, but cotton growers have not been interested in cotton planting. Although the plots are more suitable for planting cotton, the income level of rural areas has improved greatly, and farmers no longer rely on land production income to maintain their livelihood. With the development of the agricultural and sideline industries, the income of the peasants going to work in the city is more than 2000 yuan / month, and their livelihood is guaranteed, and the per capita income has increased greatly. Local cotton growers say that if seed cotton purchase prices fall, they will completely abandon cotton planting and choose to work in cities. After all, the existing cotton market is hardly attractive.
