Cotton Industry Predicament Persists. The System Of Collection And Storage Is Referred To As Obsolete.

New cotton came into season again, but the mood of Ma Suxin, a cotton grower in Shihezi, Xinjiang, was somewhat heavy.

"One year is too busy to earn much money." In October 8th, he said in an interview. In less than a month, Ma Suxin has sold 800 thousand kilograms of cotton at 8.8 yuan -8.9 yuan per kilogram to the cotton processing plant near Shihezi. He said he didn't make any money this year. The output is mainly low this year. Last year, Mu produced 350-400 kilograms, and this year only 250-300 kilograms.

His family still has hundreds of thousands of kilograms or so. cotton No collection. This time he stopped the 4 trucks loaded with 40 thousand kilograms of cotton and stopped in front of the Junggar cotton company in Kuitun, Xinjiang. He made up his mind to bargain with the Wenzhou boss Dong Li Ming, the Wenzhou cotton company. Ma Su Xin said that his cotton lint is obviously higher than that of the market and should have a good price.

He waited by the big truck outside the company and said that if Dong boss did not give him a good price, he would go to other cotton processing plants for sale. In Kuitun, Xinjiang, cotton processing enterprises are relatively concentrated, there are 34 qualified enterprises, and there are at least hundreds of other cotton processing enterprises.

　　 Ma Su Xin This year, 1400 acres of cotton fields have been planted, and they belong to large cotton farmers in Shihezi, Xinjiang. He recruited more than 100 cotton pickers from Gansu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui this year, and they had to pay 2 yuan per kilogram for picking cotton workers every day. The cost was already high. If cotton can't be sold at a price, it will be busy this year.

Dong Liming's life is also very difficult. The cotton company that has worked hard for 10 years is also a medium-sized cotton processing enterprise in Xinjiang. But in recent years, business has become more and more difficult. The factory has 200 employees to support. In less than a month this year, he broke through the loan records of last year. In October 10th, the state began collecting and storing the Kuitun area. This is more than 20 days late than the two days before the middle of September. These days, the factory has a maximum of 650 bags per day, which is about 227 kilos per pack. Daily lint has been piled up in open-air warehouses. Funds have also been reduced by more than 100 million yuan. Such a large capital occupation is what he dared not think in the past. The demand for capital is expected to double this year. The interest paid to the bank every day is very high, while the cotton grower is not satisfied with the cotton price, but the price of 8.8 yuan -9 yuan per kilogram of cotton has already put him under great pressure.

　　 Dong Li Ming Weighing repeatedly, Ma Suxin still made concessions, and cotton was really good. Finally, he settled Ma Suxin's cotton money according to 9.15 yuan per kilogram. He told the Economic Observer newspaper that "this year's profit margins will be small enough to earn this processing fee."

"This year, the cotton industry is indeed more complex. At present, the whole industry is in a predicament and is not competitive. The focus of the problem is that the cost of raw materials for cotton is too high and demand is not strong. Cai Min, deputy general manager of Wei Qiao textile, told the Economic Observer newspaper: "in the past 3 years, the policy of State purchasing and storage has been implemented, and the cotton industry is going downhill. Domestic cotton prices are far higher than international market prices, and domestic textile industry is not competitive. Domestic and international must eventually integrate, but it is not so simple to stop the system of storage and purchase.

He said that after three years of continuous cotton purchase and storage system, the cotton industry has come to a crossroads.

　　 Industry predicament

At the KuiTun Railway Station in Xinjiang, Zhang Youcai, a cotton grower, waited 30 days from September 27th until 4 days. At this time of the year, there were many cotton picking troops from all over the country.

Zhang Youcai had difficulty in sleeping. He had 70 acres of cotton fields in Gan He Zi. It was difficult to finish picking on his own family. He had to recruit 6-7 people for forty or fifty days. He had to come to the nearby talent market. There are applicants for cotton picking, but the cost of labor is very high. The original price per kilogram of cotton is 2 yuan for the pickers, and the people who are recruited here have to pay 3 yuan per kilogram. Zhang Youcai was not willing to pay for such a high labor cost, but he could not afford it. If there are still no people at the railway station, he can only hire workers from the talent market and never let the cotton rot in the ground.

Zhang Youcai told reporters that he did not want to grow cotton next year, and he would not worry about making money. There is no state subsidy. We should not worry about planting wheat. We can harvest the whole machine and enjoy national grain subsidy.
