How Can The Cotton Industry Break Down When The Two Cotton Growers Fail?

In October, cotton in Shandong, Dezhou and Liaocheng began to list.

Although this year Xiajin County, Dezhou

Liu Binglin got a bumper harvest, but he still did not want to sell in the face of 4 yuan and 1 yuan per catty.

Cotton farmers: low cotton prices and no money

Although this price is 20 Fen higher than the price of three yuan and eight yuan per catty during the same period last year, but he still does not make money. In July and August of this year, Shandong encountered heavy rain, cotton production did not come, and the cost increased rapidly. The old two people worked hard to grow cotton for a year, and the income per mu was only five hundred or six hundred yuan. Liu Binglin told reporters that the less they grow, the less they earn, the average cost is too high.

"An acre of land can not sell 2000, go to 600 yuan of Ben, and then go to 800 pieces of work, it is five hundred or six hundred yuan, personal work is not yet money."

Liu Binglin said that they were two years old, in a year, at least three months in the planting of cotton, and eight acres of land sold for more than 4 thousand yuan, accounting for only more than 20 yuan per person per day wages.

If we count the wages of two people, it is not enough at all.

At present, there is a gap between the price and the ideal price of cotton farmers. Cotton farmers do not want to sell, and feel that they have lost money.

How did cotton spinning enterprises, as a barometer of cotton prices, say so? Reporters rushed to a medium-sized cotton spinning enterprise in Wucheng County, Dezhou. There were as many as more than 150 spinning machines owned by the company. But on this day in October 8th, the reporters saw that all the spinning machines in the workshop were all shut down, and Liu Qibo, deputy general manager of the company, said that the shutdown was not a failure, but they were carrying out peak production.

Enterprises: cotton price, large area loss

"Every day we start from 11 points in the night to seven days in the second morning. At this time, the electricity charge is relatively low, and the electricity is 3 3 per hour. Other times, you are like the morning, it is about 27 Fen per degree."

Wuyuan County

Liu Qibo, deputy general manager of the company, told reporters that through the production of staggering peak, they can save electricity bills to millions of yuan a month.

But even so, they are still in a state of loss.

The reason is that the whole market is shrinking. Especially after the Spring Festival, the stock in August has accounted for 1/3 of the total production in the past year.

"Every month there is a loss and losses should range from two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand, and there is still a deterioration in this sign, which means that there will be no profit in the coming months."

Reporters interviewed cotton spinning enterprises, the cotton textile enterprise executives told reporters a unified answer, the main reason for the loss is the domestic cotton price is much higher than abroad. At present, the price of cotton per ton in China is over 19000 yuan, but the average price of cotton in the world is only about 14000 yuan per ton.

The products produced in this way are not competitive at all compared with foreign products.

Although labor costs have risen a lot in the past two years, compared with foreign countries, the labor productivity and comprehensive cost of China's textile industry still have advantages. If the difference between domestic and foreign cotton is within 1500 yuan per ton, domestic enterprises can also digest internally, but now they are really unable to sustain the price difference of nearly 5000 yuan per ton.

"In previous years, this year, because of the great disparity with international prices, we are four thousand or five thousand yuan higher than the international price, per ton of cotton yarn.

So now exports almost can not go out, and can only be sold at home.

According to the survey of China Cotton Textile Industry Association, since the first half of this year, the loss ratio of cotton textile enterprises in China has been close to 40%. Under the 30 thousand spindles spinning enterprises cut production and close to 50%., a strange phenomenon has appeared. On the other hand, cotton farmers say cotton prices are low and no money is made; on the other hand, enterprises say that cotton prices are high, not only do they not make money but also lose money in large areas. What are the reasons for this?

Cotton industry is not good at both ends. Domestic cotton prices are far higher than foreign countries.

When China joined the world trade organization, it promised to levy 1% low tariffs on imported 894 thousand tons of imported cotton every year, but if the import volume exceeded the quota of 894 thousand tons, it would impose a sliding duty rate of 5% to 40% for imported cotton. At present, domestic cotton price is up to 19000 yuan per ton, foreign cotton price is 13500 yuan, and the sliding duty rate is about 5500 yuan.

Under such circumstances, the adjustment of cotton import policy seems imperative.

The abolition of cotton import quotas and sliding tax is also heard.

But is this really feasible?

Zhang Zhenxing, director of the cotton production technology guidance Station of Dezhou City, Shandong Province, said that the company shouted that quotas and sliding duties should be abolished, and that the quota would be greatly increased. If so, China's cotton industry would go down sharply.

Soybeans used to be the main industry in China. Because they were not protected, 85% of them are monopolized by foreign countries.

Yu Dianping, director of Plant Protection Station of agriculture and Forestry Bureau of Xiajin County, Shandong Province, told reporters that he had been engaged in Cotton Research for 26 years and had deep feelings for the cotton industry. Cotton was once the main industry for increasing farmers' income in Xiajin.

But in recent years, as a large cotton producing county in Xiajin, the planting area of cotton is decreasing year by year. According to statistics, Xiajin county has dropped from 530 thousand acres last year to 450 thousand acres this year, and its decline has reached 15%.

"I have witnessed the development of the cotton industry, and now I see the grim situation faced by the cotton industry. The cotton price has fluctuated sharply. The income of cotton farmers is decreasing and the area is shrinking. I see very worried, and I feel very entangled from my own heart."

In order to let cotton no longer take the old road of soybeans, how should China deal with the pattern of the two sides of the cotton industry? How to solve the present contradiction? Zhang Zhenxing, director of the cotton production technology guidance Station of Dezhou, Shandong, told reporters that the state should make the cotton industry the same as wheat, and gradually improve the enthusiasm of cotton farmers to grow cotton by increasing subsidies.

At present, wheat subsidies have reached 120 yuan, but cotton subsidies are only 15 yuan.

On the other hand, it is necessary for textile enterprises to jointly protect China by reducing taxes and lightening the burden of enterprises in two aspects.

Industry.
