Henan cotton grows well but cotton growers are still not active

From August 17th to 22nd, deputy general managers of Yumian Group Tian Yunfeng and Huang Anjie, Director of the Enterprise Development Department Guo Guangxin, Deputy Secretary General of the Cotton Association of Henan Province Wei Yong, went to the traditions of Yanshi, Fugou, Xinye, Dengzhou and Tanghe. Produce big county, understand cotton production situation. According to the survey, the growth of cotton in the province is good, but the planting area is reduced, and the enthusiasm of cotton farmers for planting cotton is not high.

The investigation was conducted in a way that Tanabe randomly asked farmers. Most cotton farmers have low enthusiasm for planting cotton. The price of cotton was increased at the end of the acquisition last year. Seed cotton reached 3.8 yuan per catty, but it is still not enough to fundamentally restore confidence in cotton production. The cotton planting area has still decreased compared to the previous year. Individual farmers Reduce the area more than 30%.

It is understood that the reason why cotton farmers are not active in planting cotton is mainly due to the following reasons: First, the comparative benefits of planted cotton are poor. The cotton farmers counted an account. The wheat yielded 1000 kg per mu, the unit price was 1 yuan, and the gross income was 1,000 yuan; the corn yield was up to 1,300 kg, and the per mu was 0.97 yuan, the gross income was 1,260 yuan, and the planting grain input was about 200 yuan per mu; According to the average yield of 350 kg of seed cotton in recent years, the price is based on the highest price of 3.8 yuan last year. The gross income per mu is 1,330 yuan, and the input is about 400 yuan per mu. The income is not as good as food. The second is that cotton has a large number of workers and the cycle of growing cotton is long and the risk of planting is high. From March cotton planting to the end of November harvest, basically can not go out. About 30 jobs are required for each acre, and about 6 wheat and corn are needed. September is the key period of cotton bolling, and Henan rain is also mainly concentrated in the months of July, August and September, and the risk of cotton is increased. Third, most rural young people in rural areas go out to work. There is no person who grows cotton for field management. Cotton farmers generally demand that the government raise the subsidy standard for cotton cultivation; like food, establish protection prices for cotton purchases and remove the worry of planting cotton.
