Cotton Prices Hurt Farmers And Cotton Farmers "Abandon Cotton And Grow Grain".

< p > mid March in Northwest Shandong, the vast field is full of spring. In less than a month, it was the season of local a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/" > cotton < /a >, but reporters in Dezhou, Liaocheng and other places found that the cotton fields that should have been reserved have now turned into green and green wheat fields. < /p >
< p > "originally all these are cotton fields, but now they all grow wheat." Jin Qingli, a farmer in Jin Hao Zhuang Town, Linqing City, Shandong, pointed to a large wheat field. The cotton prices were low in the past two years, and four acres of cotton fields were replanted to the relatively high yield wheat. < /p >
< p > in recent years, in order to raise farmers' income and protect farmers' enthusiasm for grain growing, China has carried out a subsidy of about 100 yuan per mu for wheat. However, the protection of cotton is relatively weak. Last year, the protective purchase price of 20400 yuan / ton failed to guarantee cotton farmers' income. In Dezhou and other places, the cotton yield per mu was less than three hundred and five hundred yuan, which led to the trend of "abandoning cotton and growing grain". < /p >
< p > "from the survey of cotton farmers' planting intention this year, the cotton planting area in Dezhou area is only about 1 million 100 thousand mu, and the planting area in 2008 is 2 million 900 thousand mu." Ma Junkai, Deputy Secretary General of Dezhou Cotton Association, said. < /p >
< p > in the whole country, the situation is not optimistic. In 2012, China's cotton planting area was 4 million 700 thousand hectares, a decrease of 340 thousand hectares compared with the same period last year. According to the national cotton market monitoring system, China's cotton planting area will be reduced by 6% this year. < /p >
< p > although cotton price for the upstream cotton growers is still not high, cotton price is obviously higher for downstream cotton textile enterprises. At the beginning of March, the price of China's main cotton importing port was about 15 thousand yuan / ton, which was 5000 yuan per ton, and some cotton textile enterprises complained that domestic cotton prices were too high to compete in international competition. < /p >
< p > < < a href= > http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/Matertial/show/default.aspx > labor force > /a > cost increase, RMB appreciation and raw material price rise. China's textile and clothing cost advantages have been declining in recent years, and export situation is becoming increasingly vicious. In 2012, the total export volume of textile and apparel increased by 2.84% over the same period last year, down 17.20 percentage points from the level of 2011. < /p > < p > < span style= "font-family: song body; font-size:small >".

< p > some people in the industry believe that the cost of labor in some countries such as Southeast Asia is obviously lower than that in China, which makes the competitiveness of the domestic textile industry lower. Guo Xinzhong, Shandong Silk Textile Co. Ltd., said: "the labor cost in Vietnam and India is only 60 to 100 dollars per month, and the local level has reached 2800 yuan, and it is rising further." < /p >
< p > although wages are rising continuously, enterprises are still suffering from "recruitment difficulties". The market share of Shandong Ya Ya clothing group has been growing steadily in recent years, and recruitment has become the task of the whole company. "We had planned to introduce workers in Pakistan and Bangladesh, but we failed in the end." Yuan Wenhe, chairman of the company, told reporters that in recent years, the wages of workers have increased by more than 15% in order to retain workers. < /p >
< p > some business operators told reporters that domestic competition was more intense under the condition of external demand being sluggish. "The year before last is going to inventory, last year is going to capacity, this year is directly to the enterprise", speaking of the two years cotton textile enterprise's survival situation, some industry insiders use this sentence to describe. < /p >
< p > according to the data of Shandong province < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > textile industry association < /a >, Shandong's textile enterprises above Designated Size lost 6.97% last year, an increase of 1.42 percentage points. Ma Junkai analysis believes that this year's cotton textile situation is still difficult to make a big improvement. At present, some enterprises have gone bankrupt and bankrupt. This year the cotton textile industry is integrated, eliminated or trend. < /p >
In order to cope with the predicament, Chinese textile enterprises have struggled to explore the market, reduce the amount of labor force and reduce the cost of management. However, from the experience of successful enterprises, avoiding the same low-level competition and winning high value-added in core competitiveness in the segmented market has become an important way for textile enterprises to break through P. < /p >
< p > some people from China Textile Industry Association called on the government departments to cancel the double management restrictions of cotton import quotas and sliding duties, and constantly reduce the difference between inside and outside cotton prices so as to participate in international market competition fairly. And like Shandong Ruyi [0.13%
Capital Research Report] large powerful enterprises such as the group began to buy production bases overseas to stabilize the prices of raw materials. < /p >
< p > for cotton planting this year, some CPPCC members jointly suggested that subsidies should be directly subsidized to cotton farmers in accordance with subsidies of not less than 100 yuan / mu, so as to stabilize cotton planting area and maintain cotton self sufficiency rate in China. < /p >
