Cotton Production And Income Survey In Heze In 2015

The average cash income per mu of cotton in Heze this year is 1199.33 yuan, an increase of 12.26 yuan over the 1187.07 yuan last year, an increase of 1.03%. According to the survey, although the output per mu of cotton increased this year, the cost of production and land increased, the price decreased, and the profit of planting cotton decreased.

According to the work arrangement of Shandong Provincial Price Bureau, in late November

The price bureau organized two cotton designated survey counties in Yuncheng and Juye, and investigated the cost and income of cotton production in 18 fixed point farmers in 2015.

The survey results showed that cotton production increased, production costs increased, prices dropped, output value and income decreased in Heze city.

Mu yield increased.

Survey households this year

The average is 95.47 kg per mu, an increase of 4.38 kg over last year's 91.09 kg, an increase of 4.81%.

The reasons are as follows: after this year's cotton planting, climate is suitable, light and temperature and other weather conditions are conducive to cotton growth, farmers timely irrigation, timely field management and scientific application of chemical fertilizers, cotton production has been in the upper and middle reaches in recent years.

Total cost increases.

This year, the total cost of household cotton survey is 1684.10 yuan per mu, an increase of 137.03 yuan over the previous year of 1547.07 yuan, an increase of 8.86%. The average production cost is 1506.59 yuan per mu, an increase of 127.84 yuan over last year's 1378.75 yuan, an increase of 9.27%.

The reasons are as follows: first, the land cost increased from 168.32 yuan per mu to 177.51 yuan last year, an increase of 9.19 yuan, an increase of 5.46%.

The increase of land cost is mainly due to the deepening of the policy of supporting the rural economic development, and the value of rural land and cultivated land has been increasing year by year.

Two, the cost of materials and services increased from 418.84 yuan per mu to 424.97 yuan last year, an increase of 6.13 yuan, an increase of 1.46%.

The cost of materials and services is relatively stable, with an average change of less than 2%, and the stable price of agricultural products will help farmers stabilize their planting area.

A larger change in the cost of machinery operations increased by 2.25 yuan, an increase of 2.56%, of which water charges increased from 7.40 yuan last year to 8.27 yuan, an increase of 0.87 yuan, an increase of 11.76%. Farmers in order to ensure cotton production, timely and adequate irrigation, increase water charges.

Three, the average labor cost per mu increased from 959.91 yuan last year to 1081.62 yuan, an increase of 121.71 yuan, an increase of 12.68%.

This year's labor day wage is 54 yuan, an increase of 6 yuan over the previous year's 49 yuan, an increase of 10.20%, plus the number of working days increased by 2.25%, resulting in a larger increase in labor costs.

Prices will decrease and output value will increase.

Survey households this year

On average, it was 690.61 yuan per 50 kilograms, a decrease of 29.87 yuan over the previous year's 720.48 yuan and a decrease of 4.15%.

The price of last year has dropped by 27.27% compared with the same period in 2013.

The total output value of cotton is 1624.30 yuan per mu, an increase of 18.39 yuan over last year's 1605.91 yuan, an increase of 1.15%.

The average output value of the main products was 1318.65 yuan per mu, an increase of 6.08 yuan over last year's 1312.57 yuan, an increase of 0.46%; the average output value of by-products was 305.65 yuan per mu, an increase of 12.31 yuan over last year's 293.34 yuan, an increase of 4.20%.

The reasons are as follows: in 2014, the state suspended the cotton purchase and storage policy, which caused some impact on cotton prices. In the absence of direct purchasing and storage policy support, the cotton market showed relatively obvious shocks. At present, the selling price of lint and seed cotton in Heze has declined slightly on the basis of the obvious decline last year. The suspension of the purchase and storage policy has prompted the domestic cotton prices to move closer to the international cotton price.

In terms of demand, the domestic textile industry is in a state of low status, small orders in foreign markets, and poor foreign trade demand, all of which affect the enthusiasm of our textile enterprises to buy lint, the overall operation of the industry is weak, and the desire to buy cotton processing enterprises is low. Farmers are reluctant to sell because of the lower market value, which makes cotton prices difficult to pick up.

Although prices have dropped, cotton production per unit area has increased in Heze this year, and the output value of Mu has increased slightly over the previous year.

Cash receipts increased slightly, but net profits decreased.

The average cash income per mu of cotton this year is 1199.33 yuan, an increase of 12.26 yuan over last year's 1187.07 yuan, an increase of 1.03%; net profit averaged -59.80 yuan per mu, 118.64 yuan less than last year's 58.84 yuan, from profit to loss.

The reasons for this are: Although the output of Mu has increased by 4.81%, the loss of the price has been compensated to a certain extent, and the cash income has been maintained at the previous level. However, the net profit of cotton has decreased drastically this year due to the increase of cost.

Problems and suggestions.

Judging from the survey, although the average yield of cotton increased this year, the cost of production and land increased, the price decreased, and the profit of planting cotton decreased.

Cotton cultivation and labor costs and cotton prices at a low level are the biggest problems facing cotton production. Strengthening supervision and regulation, stabilizing cotton prices, guiding farmers to rationally arrange planting area and increasing the income of cotton farmers can ensure healthy development of cotton production.

Heze Price Bureau recommends:

1, governments at all levels should further increase investment in farmland infrastructure, improve agricultural production conditions, enhance cotton production capacity against disaster weather, increase cotton production, and promote cotton planting insurance to reduce farmers' risk of planting cotton.

2, strengthen market information release, seriously analyze the price trend, guide farmers to keep abreast of the purchase and sale of cotton and inventory, grasp the dynamics of cotton production and marketing pactions, scientifically and rationally plant, and increase farmers' income and increase production.

3, we should try to subsidize cotton target prices, and establish a target price system for major crops such as grain and cotton by using the price control measures of the target price system. When the market price is lower than the target price, the producers should be properly subsidized, so as to stabilize the cotton farmers' confidence and protect the income of farmers and farmers.
