Market Prices Of Cotton In Jiangsu, Hebei And Shandong In November 8, 2012

This year, cotton production in Yancheng City, Jiangsu province is gratifying and the harvest is in sight. Over the years, the annual yield per unit area has been a foregone conclusion.

According to the current cotton growth in Yancheng and the trend of weather and natural disasters in the next period, it is estimated that this year's cotton yield will reach 85 kilograms (equivalent to lint). There is no special case. This year will also be the highest harvest year for Jiangsu Yancheng since 2008.

According to the monitoring of Yancheng City price monitoring center, the acquisition situation of Yancheng's new cotton is not optimistic this year.

Judging from the current acquisition situation, the price of the new cotton has been running smoothly since the beginning of the scale, but compared with the cotton farmers' psychological expectations, the current purchase price is still far lower than expected.

In addition, the acquisition process of cotton enterprises is relatively slow.

Due to many factors such as market demand, purchase and sale price difference and purchase and storage policy, both cotton enterprises and cotton traders are very cautious.

This year, the total purchase amount is less than 1/5 of cotton farmers' sales volume, and the social purchase volume is only half that of cotton farmers.

Some enterprises reflect that the current acquisition cost is relatively high, and the sale price contrast with the spot market is bigger, so the operational risk can not be evaded, and dare not be bold and generous in purchasing.

According to the survey, except for agricultural film this year, prices of seed, pesticide, fertilizer and other means of production have increased from 5% to 10%, and labor costs have also increased, leading to a further increase in total cost of cotton planting, which is expected to reach 1498 yuan / mu, up by 6% over the same period last year.

Judging from the cotton prices in recent years, the cotton price of roller coaster has made cotton farmers spend their time in grief and joy.

The cotton planting area has been sharply reduced and the comparative efficiency has been declining. The main reason is that the cotton planting benefit is low, the labor force is insufficient and the cotton field disease is heavier.
