Southern Xinjiang: Hand Picked Cotton Purchase Price Rose To 6.40 Yuan / Kg

In the past two weeks, the purchase price of seed cotton has been increasing in Xinjiang, and seed cotton harvest has been over half in the North Xinjiang. The cotton field pole has been launched in an all-round way, and the purchase price has continued to rise. The acquisition of Southern Xinjiang has also entered a concentrated period. The daily purchasing volume of processing plants has been maintained at around 300 tons, and the purchase price has also been increasing. As of today, the purchase price of seed cotton has risen to 6.20-6.40 yuan / kg in South Xinjiang, and the price of machine picked cotton has risen to 5.60-5.75 yuan / kg, up 0.20 yuan / kg compared with last week.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of cotton farmers to sell, enterprises have increased seed cotton purchase price. As of November 6th, the purchase price of hand picked seed cotton in southern Xinjiang was close to 6.20-6.4 yuan / kg (40% lint), and the purchase price of seed picked cotton seed was 5.6-5.75 yuan / kg, according to the current purchase price of hand picked cotton seed and machine picked cotton, and the price of cottonseed was 1.90 yuan / kg. The total cost of picking cotton processing is 13800 yuan / ton (gross weight). The processing cost of machine picked cotton is about 13300 yuan / ton (gross weight), while the market quotation is almost flat or even upside down.

According to cotton farmers, according to the seeds of 30 yuan / mu, 60 yuan / mu of plastic film, 65 yuan / mu ploughing, 120 yuan / mu of drip irrigation, 700 yuan / mu of land contract fee, 200 yuan per mu of water and electricity, 350 yuan / mu of fertilizer, 200 yuan / mu of drip irrigation fee, 210 yuan / mu of land management fee, 5 yuan / mu of defoliant, and 600 yuan / mu of labor cost, the cost of planting is about RMB yuan / mu (including land contract fee of Yuan Yuan). Because of the bad cotton market this year, the purchase price of seed cotton is relatively lower than that of last year, and the income of cotton farmers has been reduced. Fortunately, the national cotton target price subsidy has guaranteed the cotton farmers' income.
