Xinjiang Long Staple Cotton: Between Cotton Enterprises, In Order To Compete For Resources, Will Raise Prices And Rush To Collect?

At present,

Awati County

Some cotton growers have been picking up the fields.

A small number of local 200 type cotton enterprises although Kai Ji acquisition, but

The price is far lower than the cotton farmers' expectations, and the actual turnover is very small.

The head of a cotton and hemp company in Awati County indicated that at the end of August last year, the local 400 cotton enterprises had already begun to scale up, and the price of the opening scale was around 9 yuan / kg, reaching 11 yuan / kg at the highest level. This year, 400 cotton enterprises have delayed the scale up plan, and are expected to be postponed to the end of September or early October.

At present, there are 200 types of cotton enterprises weighing scales in 7.2-7.3 yuan / kg, far lower than cotton farmers' expectations.

In the face of such a purchase price, a few cotton farmers have to sell a small amount of long staple cotton because of the problem of paying children's tuition fees. Most of the remaining cotton farmers have a wait-and-see attitude and wait for the market to change.

Although the price of the 200 type cotton enterprises is not representative, it still brings pressure to the local 400 cotton enterprises.

The main reason for this year's Awati county's opening up time and the price of opening up is that the area of long staple cotton in Awati county has increased substantially this year.

According to the survey in early August in Xinjiang, the cotton yield of long staple cotton was higher than that of upland cotton last year, which is the main reason for its large planting area.

In 2014, Awati County long staple cotton planting 639 thousand and 700 mu, the output can reach 7-8 tons, this year Awati County long staple cotton planting 110.94 mu, the output is estimated at 16-17 tons, the entire Akesu area long staple cotton 1 million 912 thousand and 500 mu, also increased nearly 1 million mu compared with 2014.

Although the area has increased significantly, the yield of long staple cotton is greatly affected by high temperature this year.

A cotton planting staff of the Lu Tai cotton industry in Awati County said that the output of long staple cotton reached 330 kg / mu before the high temperature, and the output dropped to 300 kg / mu after the high temperature. The decline was about 10%, while the local retail investors lost more, and the reduction of Mu was 50-100 kg.

According to this situation, the output of long staple cotton will not be doubled this year, but the sudden increase of output will make local cotton enterprises pinch a sweat so that they can not easily open scales.

It is understood that the local long staple cotton

In the early stage, there will be a situation of low price and cotton farmers' reluctant sale. This year is no exception. However, with the increase of picking amount of long staple cotton, cotton enterprises will raise their prices in order to compete for resources.

But at least from the current situation, this year's purchase price of long staple cotton will decline considerably compared with last year.
