Anhui Inaction: Cotton Planting Intention Declined In 2013

< p > the season of grain rain is coming. < a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/Matertial/show/default.aspx" > seed cotton < /a > preparations have begun gradually.

In order to grasp the actual planting area of Wuwei County cotton in 2013, the Wuwei Cotton Association has been a good staff for the government leaders and enterprises and cotton related people. Since the beginning of this month, 1 towns in key cotton producing counties in the county have conducted field surveys, 10 towns and 5 households in each Township, totaling 50 households.

The total area of the 50 cultivated land is 467.4 mu, and the actual cotton planting area is 325.6 mu in 2012. In March 2013, the cotton planting area was 295.6 mu, and the two reduction area was 30 mu, with a reduction ratio of 10.15%.

In 2012, the total area of cotton planting in Wuwei County was 589800 mu, and it was estimated that the planting area of Wuwei County should be 525807 mu in 2013.

Over the years, Wuwei County has been the largest cotton producing area and largest county in the province. It is also one of the largest cotton producing counties in the country. This year, it has reduced the area and the scope. Through investigation and analysis, there are several reasons for it: < /p >

< p > 1, in the first ten days of last August, cotton grew well and saw a bumper harvest year. It was hit hard by Typhoon "Hai Kai". It made all the cotton more than 90% of the county Lodge, followed by prolonged rain and rainy weather, which caused the cotton in that year to be hit hard.

After investigation, the county has only 326 kg of seed cotton per mu in 2012. Many cotton farmers talked about last year's typhoons. They still have a lingering fear that they are weak in cotton disaster resistance, and there are many typhoons and long rainy days.

< p > 2, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > grain and cotton < /a > the unreasonable price, even if it is a harvest year, it is very difficult to reach the output value of mu more than 2000 yuan, and one year of planting one season of wheat, and then one season of rice, the output value of mu can reach 2500 yuan, which is stronger than cotton.

And there are subsidies for grain producing countries, which are more than 150 yuan per mu.

Second, the cost of planting cotton is large and long.

If you want to grow cotton, the cost will be more than 600 yuan, and it will take 9 months to complete the whole process from seed to harvest.

< /p >

< p > 3, with the implementation of the < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/ > > land policy < /a >, the peasants voluntarily implemented the land twists, and many large grain households rented the land of the farmers in pieces. The rent increased year by year. The highest rent per mu was 700 yuan this year. They expanded rice in large numbers, and they could get the support and encouragement of the local government.

Similar situation is prominent in Wuwei southeast township.

This is the main reason for the large reduction of cotton area.

If we continue to develop, we will lose the aura of cotton producing counties in the whole province.

< /p >

< p > 4, the main labor force goes out to work, and over 90% of the household farm workers are elderly people.

Cotton is not particular, but it is a pity that it is idle, but how much it can be collected. The source of life is the children who work outside the home to bring money home.

This is also a direct cause of cotton production.

< /p >

< p > 5, in the past two years, although the state has issued a policy of purchasing and storing prices, the aim is to protect the interests of farmers.

The survey found that most cotton farmers did not know what to buy and sell, but sold cotton to the cotton merchants who bought them.

According to the association's investigation, the price of storing and storing the state in 2012 was 20400 yuan / ton of lint, and the price of seed cotton should be around 422 yuan per 100 Jin.

Last year, the average price of cotton farmers actually sold was only 398 yuan per 100 Jin, while the average price of the purchase was 423 yuan per 100 Jin, with a considerable difference between the cotton merchants' pockets.

The price can not be sold, which is also the main reason for dampened the enthusiasm of cotton planting.
