In the past

The villagers have saved millions of pounds of cotton.

On the 27 day, the reporter learned that the village's cotton processing plant had been shut down for more than 10 days because the cotton processing plant in the village had not been able to get cotton.

The villagers wandered around the village. It was less than more than 10 days ago that the lorry queued up to the village.

"The ordinary people can't bear it. Now it's 5.2 yuan / Jin!" Xu Xianghuai, a large cotton farmer standing at the head of the village, saw his own leg after seeing the reporter.

It is understood that in November 10th cotton prices reached the highest peak, and the best quality cotton was 7.85 yuan / Jin.

But by November 14th, the purchase price of cotton dropped to 6.385 yuan / Jin, only 4 days, and a pound of cotton fell by 1.5 yuan.

Xu Xianghuai and his wife planted 24 mu of cotton.

Now, his family has more than 8000 Jin of cotton.

It is understood that in the second village of the village, there are many people who have twenty thousand or thirty thousand pounds of cotton in their homes.

The price is too low to sell.

A cotton grower told reporters.

Xu Zhenbo, a village clerk in the second village, told reporters that there were 526 villagers in their village, and more than 90% of them were cotton, and some large cotton farmers even contracted more than 100 acres.

"All those who sold cotton in 7 yuan and a kilogram were made, and only about 1000000 catties were stored in our village."

"Wait and see" becomes the only choice for cotton farmers.

Xu Xianghuai gave the reporter an account. When the cotton price was good, the labor cost of picking cotton also went up. The highest time was 1.3 yuan / Jin, which was only 0.3-0.4 yuan / Jin last year.

What worries Xu Xianghuai more is the price of contracted land.

When cotton prices rose to 6.5 yuan per catty, Xu Xianghuai and other cotton growers signed a land contract next year.

As cotton prices rose, land contract fees rose, from 450 yuan / mu to 670 yuan / mu.

The cotton price has come down for more than a month after signing the contract.

Speaking of future plans, Xu Xianghuai said, "what can we do? Wait and see!"

The villagers said that they would save cotton in the past year. After the new year's day, the price of cotton would pick up. Last year, it increased by 0.5 yuan per catty, which is a rule summed up by cotton growers.

Now, cotton storage has become the last hope of cotton growers.

Cotton prices rebounded slightly

On the afternoon of 27 th, a reporter saw a cotton yard in the west of the second village of the village, and there was no car in the empty courtyard to deliver cotton.

The office staff told reporters that the factory had been closed for more than 10 days.

All more than 50 workers in the factory have been given leave.

Since cotton prices have fallen, cotton farmers are reluctant to sell cotton.

There are 36 large and small cotton processing plants in the township.

A staff member of a cotton processing plant said that the shortfall of cotton caused by cotton production is a factor that caused the abnormal rise of cotton prices this year.

In addition, rising prices, rising international cotton futures prices, "hot money" injection is also an important factor in the rise of cotton prices this year.

Now, the price of international cotton futures has dropped and the "hot money" has withdrawn. Under the control of the state, cotton price is unlikely to return to the high price of 7.8 yuan per catty.

Stones from other hills

Cotton cooperatives stable cotton farmers heart

Cotton farmers in most villages failed to sell when the cotton prices were higher.

But more than 90% of cotton farmers in Yang Zhai village in Guangrao County sold cotton before the cotton price fell to a low level.

Speaking of these, we have to mention the cotton cooperatives in the village.

Yang Zhai Cun Cotton Cooperative was founded in February 27, 2009, and it was spontaneously established by villagers.

From the beginning of the establishment of cooperatives, Yang Fengxiang served as chairman of the cooperative.

Yang Fengxiang said: "once we get the news of seven ministries and commissions jointly inhibiting price rises, we expect cotton prices to fall.

The association promptly informed members of this information.

There are 107 members of cotton cooperatives in Yang Zhai village and more than 3000 mu in cotton planting area.

Yang Fengxiang said that more than 90% of the cotton growers in the village have sold cotton, and the remaining ten are waiting for "high prices".

It is understood that since the establishment of the cotton cooperatives, in addition to providing cotton farmers in a timely manner to provide national cotton planting policy, cotton price change information, and guide the sale of cotton, the cotton planting technology, seeds, pesticides and fertilizers should be selected for guidance.
