Domestic Cotton Is In Urgent Need Of Technology To Keep Warm And Production Costs Continue To Rise.

At present, domestic cotton production costs are rising. According to statistics, the cost of lint production increased from 7.20 yuan per kilogram in 2001 to 17.2 yuan per kilogram in 2013, with an average annual growth rate of 7.53%. The cost of cotton production in China is high, and the cost of cotton ginning and circulation is very high. According to the average lint production cost in 2013 and the total cost of raw cotton, the difference is 3798 yuan / ton, that is to say, the 1/3 will be expanded from the cost of lint cotton production to the total cost of raw cotton in the textile mill. However, because of the good and clean cotton quality, the United States and Australia will only have the cost of cotton processing and the cost is less than 20% of that of China.

Li Yabing, a researcher at the China Cotton Research Institute, said that cotton is a labor-intensive field cash crop. Planting management links are many, labor intensity is high, and labor input accounts for more than 50% of the total production cost. To add insult to injury, the purchasing enthusiasm of textile mills has decreased significantly. Enterprises are watching, dare not risk high price acquisitions, have expressed a step by step.

These days, new cotton spreads information is coming from all over the place. What attracted most market attention is Xinjiang fine cotton and long staple cotton. Up to now, the price of seed cotton scales in the southern Xinjiang is 6.5 yuan / kg. "The price has dropped a lot, and the price is about 7 yuan per kilogram in mid August." Cotton farmers reflect that prices are still falling along with the increase in seed cotton listing. The Yellow River and the Yangtze River Basin cotton production situation is not optimistic, the industry is worried that this year, "selling cotton is difficult."

The output and price of cotton this year. quality Many indicators have caught the whole market by surprise. The national cotton industry technology system / Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences released the "China cotton production boom report 2016" shows that the import price of cotton yarn has increased rapidly since the international cotton price is far below the domestic price. The total net imports of 7 million 345 thousand tons in the 6 years from 2010 to 2015, a net increase of 5 million 270 thousand tons over the previous 6 years, increased by 254%.

Cotton and cotton spinning are important agricultural products in China. If they rely heavily on imports, they will bring unforeseen risks. A few days ago, at the cotton light reduction chemical control technology training meeting convened by the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, experts from the China Cotton Research Institute Mao Shu Chun said that China should strengthen monitoring and early warning to enhance the right to speak science and technology. Decision making participation right The development of cotton industry will be guided by "medium and high end quality", and the development of modern cotton planting industry will be led by light simplification and mechanization.

China's cotton planting area of about 70 million acres, the total output of about 6 million 500 thousand tons, cotton mills average annual demand for cotton about 10 million tons, seemingly demand is greater than output, but "2016 China" cotton Production boom report shows that in 2015, China's cotton production decreased by 9.3% to 20.9%, and the net output was reduced by 57.4 to 1 million 419 thousand tons, and the reduction was mainly due to the decrease of planting area. In addition, China's raw cotton inventory is high, according to the annual inventory of 2 million tons, it will take at least 4 years to return to normal stock level.

At the same time, the market share of domestic cotton is constantly being squeezed by imported cotton. In 2015, China's cotton production capacity, cotton planting intention, textile and cotton "three volume increase" to "three quantity reduction", and then to the shortage of domestic high-grade cotton and the low grade cotton surplus "one missing one remaining", the trend is worrying. Mao Shuchun said, this led to the "high cost of farmers unwilling to grow cotton, high prices, textile enterprises can not afford cotton, poor quality textile enterprises do not want to use cotton" industry dilemma. In addition, the domestic and foreign cotton price "hang upside down" phenomenon is widespread. A large number of imports directly impact domestic cotton production, cotton farmers' income increase and cotton textile industry development.
