Cotton Planting Costs Rose &Nbsp In Total, And Revenue Decreased By 58.8%.

The National Cotton Research Institute of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences recently released the 2011 nationwide. cotton The output value, cost and revenue monitoring report shows that in 2011, the output value of the main cotton products in China decreased by 18%, to 1995.1 yuan per mu, and the revenue decreased by 58.8%, to 491.5 yuan / mu.

Cotton Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and national cotton industry technology In 2011 11~12, the project team investigated 90 households in 160 fixed sample counties of 15 cotton producing provinces in Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Tianjin, Qin, Jin, Gan and new (local and Corps), and 1200 households in 5000 fixed sample households, and got the results of cotton production cost, output value and income in 2011.

The output of seed cotton in China was 254.8 kg / mu, an increase of 13.9% over the same period last year. Three major drainage basins Unginned cotton The yield per unit area increased by 216.2 kg / mu in the Yangtze River Basin, 3.9% in the Yangtze River Basin, 205.9 kg / mu in the the Yellow River River Basin, 4.2% in the Yangtze River area, and 326.8 kg / mu in the northwest region, an increase of 25%.

The output value of the main cotton products in China is 1995.1 yuan / mu, a decrease of 438.1 yuan per mu, or 18%. The output value of the three major river basins is 1692.8 yuan / mu in the Yangtze River Basin, minus 669.5 yuan / mu, minus 28.3%. The the Yellow River basin is 1564.8 yuan / mu, minus 663.1 yuan / mu, with a decrease of 29.8%. Northwest area 2728.8 yuan / mu, increased 30.8 yuan / mu, increased by 1.1%, resulting from the increase in unit production. The main cotton product income in China is 491.5 yuan / mu, minus 699.1 yuan / mu, minus 58.8%. The income of the three major river basins was 280.6 yuan / mu in the Yangtze River Basin, 890.5 yuan / mu reduced, 76%; the the Yellow River River Basin was 395.3 yuan / mu, reduced 715.1 yuan / mu, 64.4%; northwest area 845.8 yuan / mu, reduced 302.8 yuan / mu, reduced 26.4%, reduced mainly from the substantial increase in unit production. Monitoring results show that in 2011, 100% of the sample farmers were subsidized, an increase of 23 percentage points compared with the same period last year, and the subsidy fund was 19.5 yuan / mu, an increase of 2.76 yuan / mu, an increase of 16.5%.

The report analyzed the reasons for the reduction of 699.1 yuan / mu in 2011: first, the price of seed cotton decreased by 28.6%, accounting for 60.4% of the reduction. In fact, the decline in seed cotton prices should account for 105% of the reduction, and the 44.6 increase was offset by the increase in unit production. Two, the total cost rose by 21%, accounting for 39.6% of the reduction.

In 2011, the cost of cotton planting rose all the way, and labor cost accounted for the first time exceeded the cost of physicochemical. In 2011 cotton planting cost increased by 261 yuan per mu, or 21%. In total cost, physicochemical cost accounted for 38.9% yuan 584.7 yuan / mu, labor cost accounted for 52% yuan 782.1 yuan / mu; fixed cost 4.2% accounted for 62.5 yuan / mu; indirect cost accounted for 4.9% yuan 74.4 yuan / mu. The cost of labor for the first time exceeds the cost of physicochemical production, which is a very negative signal to cotton production.

Among them, the cost of materialization increased by 5.4%, accounting for 11.6% of the increase, and the increase in labor costs accounted for 39.5%. In 2011, labor cost rose to 782.1 yuan / mu, up 221.3 yuan / mu, an increase of 39.5%, accounting for 84.8% of the total cost increase. In addition, fixed costs increased by 9.7% and indirect costs increased by 7.2%.

According to the sample lint yield of 96.1 kg / mu, the cost per kilogram of lint is 15.8 yuan, an increase of 0.9 yuan / kg, an increase of 5.9% compared with 14.9 yuan / kg in 2010.

According to the monitoring results, compared with 2010, the price difference between grain and cotton increased by 25.7% to 45.8% in 2011, and the price difference between cotton and fertilizer increased by 35.5%.
