Cotton grows well overcapacity in cotton companies

In recent days, Shandong, Hebei and other places in the Yellow River Basin cotton area are dominated by high-temperature sunny weather, which is favorable for cotton growth. A surnamed Li farmers in Zhangzhou, Hebei, introduced that the plant height of 2 mu of cotton planted in him is generally between 40 and 45 cm. The stem and coarse leaf fertilizer is very gratifying. "From the current growth point of view, it is better than last year." Lao Li said that at this time last year, more rainy weather, lower cotton emergence rate, late replanting and bad weather, cotton plant growth is poor, this year's cotton plant There is a bumper harvest on the whole site.

Heze, Texas, and other places in Shandong Province have good cotton growth. “Although it has experienced continuous rainy weather in recent days, hail has even appeared in some areas, which has caused some negative effects on cotton growth. However, after recent field management, cotton growth has basically recovered.” According to a cotton farmer in Texas, the local plant height of cotton is generally 35-45 centimeters, and individual plants reach more than 50 centimeters. Most of them have sprouted 4-5 plants/plant. If the weather conditions are good in the later period, the cotton yield is expected to increase by about 10% from last year. Quality will also improve. In recent years, responsible cotton farmers in the Yellow River Basin are gradually decreasing, and the proportion of professional households in the contract farmers and growers is increasing, which provides conditions for cotton scientific planting and large-scale planting, which is conducive to the improvement of cotton quality.

However, although the growth of cotton is good, due to the significant reduction in planting area this year, it is expected that the total cotton production will still have a certain degree of decline. Take Dongying in Shandong as an example. At the peak of cotton cultivation in 2014, the area reached more than 258 million mu. In recent years, it has declined year-on-year to only 900,000 mu this year, a decrease of 65.1%.

Due to the shrinking area of ​​cotton seed cotton, the ginning factory has gradually lost its place. A person in charge of a 400-type company in Xingtai, Hebei, said that the biggest problem for companies is that they have no rice. There are dozens of existing 400-type companies in the region, but from the perspective of cotton supply, only 4-5 companies can complete the processing. Other companies are objectively vicious competition. At present, many local companies have changed their business and a few enterprises have decided to go to Xinjiang.
