Hengshui: Seed cotton picking increases and scale purchases are expected to be opened around the National Day

Recently, the number of seed cotton picked in the main cotton producing area of Hengshui, Hebei Province has increased, but the quality has declined year-on-year, and the purchase of seed cotton has not started.

Since September 5, the local area has maintained sunny and cloudy weather for more than ten days. The temperature in the morning and evening is 18-20 degrees Celsius, and the temperature at noon climbs above 30 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between day and night becomes larger. This kind of weather has a negative impact on the current local cotton. Splitting bells and spitting catkins is extremely beneficial. Up to now, the proportion of local cotton with cracked bolls and bolls has reached 50%. Some premature cotton plants have all cracked bolls. The number of seed cotton harvested by cotton farmers has also increased, reaching 150 kilograms per mu. However, due to frequent local rains in the early period, the growth and development of Fuqian peach and Futao peach were incomplete, resulting in a decline in the quality of the seed cotton picked so far. According to visual inspection, only 40% of the seed cotton currently picked can reach grade 3 quality. Most of them are soft white cotton with poor color, weak resilience when held in hand, and the cotton seeds are not full.

The 2021/22 cotton season has arrived, and some cotton farmers currently have cotton in storage, but local cotton companies have no plans to start purchasing in the near future. The reasons are: First, in recent years, local cotton processing enterprises have suffered an increasing loss and proportion of losses, and their work enthusiasm has become increasingly low; second, the current quantity and quality of seed cotton picking have declined year-on-year. Even if cotton companies want to start operations, the quantity and quality There is no guarantee; third, no company in the surrounding area has started purchasing and processing, so there is no reference for the local seed cotton purchase price; fourth, the Zheng cotton futures market has recently shown a volatile market trend, with cotton prices rising and falling, and cotton companies dare not start production rashly .

Regarding the acquisition time, some local cotton companies said that firstly, they must wait for the local seed cotton picking quantity and quality to reach a higher level before making acquisitions, because the resources available to the company will increase by then; secondly, they must wait for the futures market to enter A period of relatively stable development. To sum up, it is expected that the scale opening of seed cotton this year will be around the National Day.
