The Development And Reform Commission Studies The Long Term Mechanism Of Stabilizing Cotton To Deal With The Difficulty In Selling Cotton.

Zhong Jimin sighed a lot.

As a farmer in Qian village, Qinghe County, Xingtai, Hebei, he planted 7 Mu this year.

Each catty can be sold to 3 yuan 9, mu yield 380 Jin, the income per mu is 1482 yuan.

This is more than last year's 7 Mu cotton per catty sold 3 yuan 3, the mu yield 410 Jin, the mu income has increased 130 yuan.

But he broke his finger and calculated carefully. This year's cost has increased a lot more than that of last year, and the cost of actual increase has been reduced.

According to the reporter's understanding, the situation of total cotton production and output reduction has become a reality this year, but the price is hard to rise, which is related to the international cotton's low 4000 yuan per ton.

Therefore, although the national development and Reform Commission buys cotton at the price of 20400 yuan per ton per ton, which is more than 1000 yuan higher than the market price per ton, but the domestic cotton purchasing price is still facing great downward pressure.

The national development and Reform Commission and other departments have recognized the downturn in the textile industry, low international cotton prices and the difficulty of selling cotton to domestic cotton farmers.

On October 9th, at the national cotton working teleconference, Zhang Xiaoqiang, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission, pointed out that due to the phased oversupply of new cotton during the listing period, and the current market price is still lower than the purchase and storage price, there may be problems such as "selling cotton difficult for farmers" or the purchase of seed cotton pressure levels and so on.

To this end, we need to implement the temporary purchasing and storage policy to ensure open purchase and storage. We must further summarize and perfect the cotton temporary purchase and storage policy according to the implementation of this year, and study the long-term mechanism to support cotton production and development.

According to the reporter's understanding, the current CIF of grade 3 cotton is about 16000 yuan per ton, while the price of cotton purchase and storage announced by the national development and Reform Commission is 20400 yuan per ton.

In September, the price of cotton sold to cotton spinning enterprises by the NDRC was 18500 yuan / ton per ton and the bottom price.

Buying cotton at a high price and selling cotton at a low price, the state is willing to shoulder such a loss because the country needs to stabilize the enthusiasm of farmers to grow cotton so as to prevent the cotton planting area from falling sharply, thereby preventing cotton prices from skyrocketing and plummeting.

Ma Junkai, Deputy Secretary General of the Dezhou Cotton Association of Shandong, pointed out that because of the high cotton used by domestic textile enterprises than the international price, the competitiveness of their cotton textile products will decline in the international arena.

"Domestic cotton prices are high, forcing textile enterprises to accelerate pformation.

Otherwise, it is difficult to survive.

Cotton production is more difficult than cotton sales.

According to the latest survey by the Ministry of agriculture, the cotton planting area of this year is around 72 million 550 thousand mu, a decrease of 3 million 10 thousand mu compared with that of the previous year, with a decrease of 4%.

The actual output of cotton in China is estimated to be about 6 million 900 thousand tons, a decrease of 300 thousand tons over the previous year and a decrease of 4.2%.

Reporter learned that Hebei, Shandong, Tianjin and other areas of cotton because of the heavy rain this year, reduce production seriously, plus Shandong this year, cotton planting area reduced by about 2 than last year, which makes the national cotton production in some areas decreased obviously this year.

However, unlike previous years, cotton prices will not increase if cotton area and total production decline this year.

For example, the actual price of cotton in the actual market is 18700 yuan per ton, the total price of seed cotton is only 3 yuan per catty.

The state stores and stores 3 yuan cotton per ton of 20400 yuan, the total seed cotton per catty is 4.2-4.3 yuan.

The reason is that at present, the international cotton prices are relatively low, and the price of the 3 grade cotton on shore is about 16000 yuan per ton.

In addition, domestic cotton prices are higher than foreign countries, making some textile enterprises take the place of chemical fiber instead, which leads to a reduction in demand for cotton than last year.

A cotton grower in Xiantao, Hubei told reporters that cotton last year

After the fall, the actual planting area this year

All of them are reduced, but the price is still not up. In the year before last, the purchase price of seed cotton once reached 6 yuan per catty.

"This year's purchase price is slightly better than last year, but the gap is too big compared to the previous year."

Many ministries and commissions of the country also recognized that there might be a downturn in cotton demand.

The reason is that at present, the price of the country's purchasing and storage is higher than the selling price, and the trading companies and processing enterprises are reluctant to sell cotton at low prices, which makes the market less expensive cotton, while the state reserves are mostly full.

By the end of August, the state reserve cotton stocks had reached the highest level in history.

Zhang Xiaoqiang, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission, pointed out that due to the phased oversupply of new cotton during the listing period, the current market price is still below the purchasing and storage price, and textile demand is unlikely to improve in the short term. Cotton processing enterprises are expected to give priority to the storage and storage. With the increase in storage and storage, the problem of insufficient storage capacity will become more prominent, and the difficulty of related tasks and coordination will also increase.

At present, the central storage cotton company has laid out nearly 4 million tons of storage capacity for storage and use.

Next, according to the progress and storage of new cotton, the state will make timely arrangements for the subsequent Treasury points to ensure that the warehousing progress is normal during the peak storage period.

Research on long-term mechanism for stabilizing cotton

Zhang Xiaoqiang pointed out that the next ministry will further summarize and perfect the cotton temporary purchase and storage policy according to the implementation of this year, and study the long-term mechanism to support cotton production and development.

He judged that it is difficult to stabilize cotton production at present.

Cotton production has low efficiency and low level of mechanization. Under the condition of limited cultivated land resources and rapid increase in labor costs, the factors restricting cotton production are increasing.

While striving to stabilize the international market share, we should guide enterprises to actively explore the domestic market and expand domestic demand for textiles.

At present, it is also a favorable opportunity for the pformation and upgrading of the textile industry. We must continue to accelerate the structural adjustment of the textile industry and improve the technological content and added value of the products.

We should enhance the concentration of textile industry, speed up the construction of our own brand, and gradually realize the pformation from a big textile nation to a strong textile country.

According to the understanding, the cotton planting area and price in China have been relatively large since 2009. In order to prevent the price of cotton from being too low this year, the state has paid a heavy price to stab the farmers' enthusiasm for planting.

For example, the cotton which was stored and stored at the price of 19800 yuan per ton in 2011, this year put 494 thousand tons of cotton reserves to the enterprise at the base price of 18500 yuan / ton on September 3rd - 29. According to the actual paction price of 18600 yuan / ton, the country lost 1200 yuan per ton, with a total loss of 590 million yuan.

At the meeting, chief economist of the Ministry of agriculture, Bi Mei pointed out that in order to establish a long-term mechanism for the stable development of cotton, it may be necessary to study the relationship between grain and cotton and the adjustment of agricultural structure, and put forward the train of thought and Countermeasure for promoting the stable development of cotton production, actively strive for policies, and build a policy guarantee system for the stable development of cotton.

In view of the important problems of cotton production mechanization, comprehensive production capacity improvement, cotton field film pollution, and so on, we should strengthen investigation and study, formulate technical line and work measures according to local conditions, and promote sustainable and stable development of cotton production.

Zhong Jimin, a farmer in Qinghe County, Xingtai, Hebei, thinks that the purchase price of cotton should not be less than 4 yuan, otherwise planting will not be of much significance.

Ma Junkai believed that cotton prices were low and no one planted, and the state reduced the price of cotton purchase and storage, and the peasants were not motivated.

Now raising the price of purchasing and storage, the new problem is that textile enterprises can not afford to pay high prices.

As the country no longer throws stores in October, the future textile enterprises will have to buy market cotton when they use up the stock of cotton, and the market price of cotton will probably rise to the level of the state's purchase and storage price.

When the cost of cotton is high, textile enterprises need to increase the added value of products.

"National

Production capacity of 100 million spindles, too much, the future may only need 70 million spindles. "
