Hebei Handan Cotton Mature Period Postponed, Yield Decline

Recently, the weather continued high in northern China.

The growth of some cotton fields in Handan area of Hebei is still good, but due to frequent rain in the early period, the maturity of cotton is slightly delayed, and the decline of yield per unit is a fact.

It was learned that most of the counties in the region were salty and alkaline sand land, suitable for planting cotton. However, because of the decline in cotton yields, some of the cotton fields with higher yield of pepper and vegetables were seized. Corn and wheat planting were also higher than in previous years, and the total planting area decreased by 25-30% compared with last year.

At present, the growth of cotton is slightly different. Due to the earlier rainfall, cotton is affected and the maturity period is obviously postponed.

At present, the cotton height of some plots is 90-120cm, and the flowering period is near the end. However, the peach yield is reduced by 2-4 plants per year compared with that of last year, and the Cotton Bolls at the bottom are slightly smaller than that of the same period last year. They are obviously not as high as those in Shandong, and the cotton plants are slightly weaker.

The estimated yield will be below 600 Jin / mu, and cotton growers are stepping up their management to raise output.

When it comes to the price of cotton market, we all have different opinions.

Affected by the reduction of cotton planting area and the drop in unit production, local cotton farmers generally believe that the new year's opening price will not be less than 4 yuan / Jin line, and the rising cotton price has increased the price of local seed cotton and boosted cotton growers' confidence.

Local cotton companies are calm.

After the extension of the rotation time is confirmed, the futures lint is not easy to rise. The CF1701 contract of Zheng cotton is closed at 14700 yuan / ton on the 15 day, but it still drops 65 yuan / first line compared with the closing price on the 14 day.

New and old alternate seasons, spot

Price positioning is still a variable.

Most cotton enterprises reflect that the price of seed cotton can not be determined simply by the amount of money per catty. Because of the large initial listing water, the price of starting grain can not reflect the true seed cotton price.

Some cotton enterprises believe that they will be below 4 yuan / Jin line. Some manufacturers believe that the price of lint and cottonseed will decide the price of seed cotton, and the intensity of downstream products will be reduced.

The local cotton makers who are going to enter the market are repairing the equipment and preparing for the new year's market.
