Dongying: Cotton planting work has begun gradually, and the cotton planting area has increased than expected
Recently, cotton planting work will be carried out in Dongying area of Shandong Province. Various factors have helped local farmers increase the actual planting area than expected. The reasons are analyzed as follows:
1. Higher seed cotton prices in 2021 will increase farmers’ income
The survey learned that the price of seed cotton will be high in 2021. Local seed cotton is sold at a high price of 5.2-5.5 yuan/jin. The current average price is also around 4.5-5 yuan/jin, which is about 1 yuan/jin higher than last year. On a per kilogram basis, Calculating the output of 450-600 kilograms of seed cotton per mu, the income per mu increases by 450-600 yuan. For large cotton farmers, the overall income is considerable, which effectively increases farmers’ enthusiasm for planting. Therefore, some cotton farmers plan to increase the planting area.
2. The local environment is suitable for growing cotton
The plots in Dongying, Guangrao, Lijin and Kenli cotton-producing areas have more saline-alkali land, making it difficult to water the fields. Cotton is drought-tolerant and likes high temperatures, and its growth environment requirements are lower than other economic crops. Under such special conditions Under the constraints of , cotton cultivation has become the first choice of local farmers.
3. The number of migrant workers in local factories has increased and the number of migrant workers has decreased.
The number of enterprises in the Dongying area is gradually increasing. Some farmers can work locally or in surrounding areas during slack periods, and stay busy at home during busy periods. This allows them to work and farm at the same time, solving the time-consuming and labor-intensive labor problem of cotton planting.
