Dezhou, Shandong: Cotton Prices Fell &Nbsp; &Nbsp; Cotton Farmers Were Injured.

In 2010, Cotton price The ups and downs have made people palpitate. Cotton prices up and down can't be understood by ordinary people, so that old experts who have been buying and selling cotton for decades have also failed to understand. Cotton growers, cotton enterprises and textile enterprises are entangled in cotton prices.

In recent years, prices of grain and other agricultural products have continued. Rise Cotton prices have been undervalued for a long time. Last year, they rose for granted. But they rose too fast, too much or too much, and there was a bubble.

After last November 11th, our country took measures to control cotton. market Cotton prices began to fall sharply. By the end of November, the purchase price of seed cotton had dropped to 10.6 yuan / kg, and lint to 26000 yuan / ton. After that, the cotton seed rose slowly to 12 yuan / kg before the Spring Festival, and the lint rose to around 28000 yuan / ton. After the Spring Festival, domestic and foreign cotton futures prices rose sharply, and spot prices also rose sharply. In mid February, the purchase price of seed cotton rose to around 12.8 yuan / kg, and lint rose to 31000 yuan / ton. In recent years, with the weakening of the futures price oscillation and the reduction of the purchase price of lint by a large textile group in Shandong, the spot price of cotton in Dezhou city of Shandong has continued to decline, and the acquisition of seed cotton has basically stagnated, and the sale of lint cotton has slowed down.

1/4 cotton is not for sale.

In April 22nd, the sale price of lint cotton at grade three in Dezhou was around 28000 yuan / ton (delivery, gross weight, carrying tickets), four level 27300 yuan / ton, and four class 26800 yuan / ton less than 400 yuan / ton in the previous few days. The purchase price of grade three seed cotton is 11 yuan / kg (lint 36%, moisture regain 10%), four level 10.8 yuan / kg, mixed grade flower 10.6 yuan / kg, down 0.2 yuan / kilogram than a week ago. With the continuous decline of cotton prices, the current seed cotton purchase price has no market, basically in a state of stagnation, cotton prices continue to decline because of cotton prices, unwilling to accept, dare not accept; cotton farmers are reluctant to sell low prices, and no one wants to sell. The price is far below the psychological expectation of 12-13 yuan per kilogram of cotton farmers. It is understood that 70% of the cotton in some villages in Xiajin county has not yet been sold, and about 25% of the cotton in the whole Dezhou area is not sold.

Recently, Dezhou cotton yarn sales difficulties, inventory continues to increase, the factory to increase sales efforts, generally take preferential policies to reduce sales promotion to increase sales and reduce inventory, C32S cotton yarn mainstream trading price at 36000 yuan / ton below, high price in 37000-37500 yuan / ton. The current cotton market has such an embarrassing situation: it is difficult for textile enterprises to sell cotton yarn, unwilling to purchase cotton lint, and some enterprises limit production or stop production; cotton processing enterprises are afraid that cotton prices will continue to fall and they are unwilling to buy cotton, they have all stopped collecting; cotton farmers are reluctant to sell cotton for sale, and no one wants to sell them.

Cotton farmers are very sad.

The general mindset of cotton growers is rising and selling. From last September to now, cotton prices have gone up and down, and there have been two high points: 14.4 yuan / kg and 12.8 yuan / kg. The cotton farmers who can catch these two time points are afraid to not even get 5%. Most of the cotton growers are sold between the ups and downs. Xiajin county is a large cotton growing County in Shandong province. Farmers have the habit of selling cotton after the Spring Festival, and many farmers have been waiting to see it.

According to the survey, at present, the total cotton storage in Xiajin county is around 40%, and the amount of cotton stored in some villages is around 80%. Even some farmers do not sell a catty, and there are thousands of pounds of cotton in their homes. The ups and downs of cotton prices have affected cotton growers' enthusiasm for planting cotton. At present, Dezhou is in the cotton planting period. Some cotton farmers originally reserved cotton fields to replant other crops. It is estimated that the area of cotton planting in this city will be around 1 million 500 thousand mu this year, a slight decrease compared with the previous year.

Cotton prices are very upset.

As a cotton purchasing and processing enterprise in the middle link of the cotton industry chain, it is not afraid of high cotton price, nor is it afraid of low cotton price. As long as the price is stable, there will be a reasonable profit, for fear that cotton prices will fluctuate.

At present, the price of lint has dropped to below 28000 yuan / ton, and the cost of lint is more than 29000 yuan / ton. According to the survey, the average cotton lint inventory of cotton enterprises in Dezhou is about 150 tons, with more than 400 tons of 6 and more than 800 tons. The ups and downs of cotton prices make the owners of cotton enterprises very annoyed, simply stop and close.

Textile enterprises are worried.

Last year is the best time for textile enterprises in the past ten years. Cotton prices are good and cotton prices are rising. Raw cotton stored in warehouses can produce gold every day even if they are not spun into yarn. From the Spring Festival to the present, cotton yarn sales are becoming more and more difficult, inventory is increasing, prices are dropping and falling, and good life has passed 1 years and has entered a difficult period. Spinning enterprises bite teeth hard and dare not stop production, because it will be hard to recruit workers before they stop production. At present, the inventory of textile enterprises is increasing, interest rates are rising, and funds are tight, so there is no money to buy cotton linen again.

At present, cotton purchase, processing and sales are basically at a standstill. By the end of April and early May, cotton farmers had basically sold out and the processing companies also closed. At this time of the year, cotton farmers in Dezhou still have 1/4 cotton not sold (individual counties store more cotton), which is very unsafe at home, and the quality of long-term storage is also significantly reduced. At present, sales of cotton yarn are difficult, and the possibility of cotton prices rising in recent years is very small. It is suggested that cotton farmers should sell their minds and sell them as soon as possible. At the same time, it is suggested that textile enterprises should speed up structural adjustment and industrial upgrading, eliminate backward production capacity, actively develop and produce high value-added products, and use non cotton fibers to resolve the impact of high priced cotton.
