Dezhou city of Shandong province is one of the key cotton producing areas in China. The annual cotton planting area is 200-300 mu.

At present, cotton picking is coming to an end in Dezhou. The cotton purchase and sale situation presents four characteristics:

First, the per unit yield has dropped sharply.

This year

Shandong

The cotton planting area in Dezhou province is only 1 million 550 thousand mu, 32% less than last year, the smallest area in nearly 11 years.

In the middle and August of the year, there was continuous wide range of high intensity rainfall and cloudy weather.

The yield and quality have been greatly affected. Some of the bolls have fallen off, and the cracked peach is black and mouldy.

The average yield per seed cotton is only 420 kg, which is more than 20% less than that in the normal year.

Two is cotton grade reduction.

Affected by waterlogging and continuous rainy weather, the quality of cotton in Dezhou decreased significantly this year, and the cotton seed coat was low and the moisture content was too high.

In previous years, the average grade of seed cotton was about 3.5, while this year's main grade was 4 grade. The proportion of grade 3 cotton was relatively small, which was 1 lower than that of the normal year.

In the early stage of the acquisition, the average local clothing score was about 37%, and the recent lint percentage was around 36.5%, which was more than 2 lower than in previous years.

This year, seed cotton purchase water content is too high, in the early stage generally more than 20% (about 13% of water in normal year), some reached 25% or more, and it has dropped 14% in recent years, still higher than in previous years.

With the advent of centralized cotton marketing, the quality should be improved.

Three, prices are rising all the way.

Since the launch of new cotton this year, cotton production has been cut down by rain.

Resources

Shortage and other factors, the local cotton seed purchase price continues to rise.

From the beginning of September, 4.2 yuan / Jin has been rising to about 6.20 yuan per Jin in the late October. In more than a month, the Jin rose by 2 yuan / Jin, or 47%, up by 2.70 yuan / Jin, up to 77%, and the highest price in history.

Four is the benefit of cotton growing.

Although local cotton has been greatly reduced by waterlogging this year, cotton production has not been cut down due to a record high cotton price.

According to the average yield of 420 Jin, the average selling price is 6.10 yuan / Jin, the output value of Mu is 2562 yuan, and the direct cost of planting is 393 yuan / mu (excluding labor cost, the cost of land package and the cost of picking up cotton), plus 15 yuan per mu of good seed subsidy, 2184 yuan of mu income, more than 625 yuan of income per mu, which has completely changed the situation that cotton is not as good as grain yield in recent years. It is estimated that the cotton planting area may increase next year.
