Cotton Farmers Also Have "Three Expectations" Under The New Cotton Policy.

In 2014, China formally cancelled.

The temporary purchase and storage policy carried out a pilot project for cotton target price reform in Xinjiang.

Recently, the cotton planting area in Xinjiang has learned that the cotton growers have responded positively to the new policy and expressed three expectations.

Looking forward to: early payment of subsidies

In the southern part of the winter, thin snow reflects warm yang.

In the village of Kali Sha kale, Kokand Township, Kashi, the most talked about is cotton patch.

"Just heard that the subsidy went to the village, but I didn't expect the subsidy to get there so quickly."

The villagers Kurban Ayit carefully calculated, "planted 2.5 mu of cotton, 191 yuan per mu, a total of 477.5 yuan."

Like Kurban Ayit, 917 farmers in Kokand township have received subsidies.

In fact, Kokand rural cotton farmers get only the first subsidy, which is part of the subsidy.

According to the implementation plan of Xinjiang cotton target price reform pilot work, the finance of autonomous region will be divided into two parts, 60% by area, and 40% by sales volume. The latter part of the subsidy is not yet in place.

Affected by climate,

Some cotton growing areas suffered from low temperature and strong wind.

Overall, the picking period in 2014 was about 20 days longer than in previous years.

When the harvest is late, the subsidy is late.

In the case of spring loan and autumn loan, when the loan period remains unchanged, some cotton farmers will have great pressure to repay loans, which will certainly affect the credit of the borrowers and affect the spring ploughing production this year.

Two hope: price information to farm households

The target price of cotton released by the state is 19800 yuan per ton, which is the price of lint.

According to the cotton production in Xinjiang, the target price per kilogram of seed cotton is about 8.4 yuan per kilogram.

The cotton planting area in Xinjiang is mainly distributed in more than 60 counties and more than 110 farms. About half of the households in the whole area grow cotton.

Because of the obvious fluctuation of cotton prices, many farmers are reluctant to sell at the early stage of cotton harvest.

Dawut Patirik, a farmer from the county of Awati, has sent cotton to the processing plant two times. The first time is 2340 kilograms, the seed cotton is 6.57 yuan per kilogram, the second time 300 kilograms, the price is only 4.5 yuan.

Emel Akoniaz, a farmer in urulle Township, did not hire cotton pickup in time. 23 acres of cotton were sold at 5.96 yuan per kilogram.

"Cotton is sold in the bottom. What price is it?

If only some experts give advice. "

Emel Akoniaz said.

In the Awati cotton and linen company and cotton farmers' conversation, we know that the propaganda of the reform pilot is in place. We hope to publicize the policy well, and the relevant departments can provide timely price information to help cotton farmers grasp the opportunity to sell cotton.

Three hope: machine promotion cotton promotion

Shaw Wen Road of Gan He Zi town in Wusu city is machine picked cotton. He calculated an account: the cost of mechanically picking cotton per mu is 190 yuan, while the artificial cotton picking is about 800 yuan per mu.

The reform pilot has stimulated cotton growers to have a variety of cotton wishes. Many cotton farmers hope to popularize the machine picked cotton.

The production and Construction Corps of Xinjiang has a high degree of organization and production. The mechanized production of cotton has taken the lead in the whole country. At present, the area occupied by the machine accounts for about 70% of the cotton planting area.

However,

Most of the farmers are willing to invest at a time but not enough.

At present, the mechanized harvesting area of cotton in Xinjiang accounts for only 8% of the total planting area.

Zhou Yali, an expert in agricultural machinery at Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, suggested that low yield loans should be distributed to farmers to purchase cotton pickers, or the scope of agricultural subsidies should be included in the purchase of agricultural machinery.

The goal of Xinjiang's agricultural machinery department is that by 2015, the level of mechanical harvesting of cotton will reach 14.73%, reaching 35.5% by 2020.
