Yancheng: The quality of early cotton is low. Pay attention to the distinction when purchasing
As new cotton is spun out one after another, the harvesting and sales of seed cotton in various places are gradually underway. Because the cotton planting area in the mainland is scattered, harvesting relies on manual picking. Therefore, after harvest, inland cotton should be sorted, stored and sold according to quality. Mixed sales will not only be detrimental to the improvement of cotton farmers’ income, but will also have a certain impact on the production and processing of textile enterprises.
A local cotton farmer said that when cotton matures, cotton is spun from the bottom up, and the early bolls at the base are closest to the surface. After the cotton is spun, the amount cannot be picked in time due to the small amount, resulting in a longer time for new cotton fibers to attach to the bolls, and the dust and moisture on the ground Or field debris adheres to the seed cotton, forming cotton with high water content and dark fiber color. It is understood that local cotton with poor quality is below grade 4-5 by visual inspection, and some gray-yellow stiff-flap cotton is even lower grade.
According to the scientific sales process, manual picking of cotton is divided into at least three phases: early, middle and late picking, drying, storing and selling cotton. It must not be a “one-stop” operation. The biggest disadvantage of mixed grade cotton is that it artificially creates the same batch of good and bad cotton, which lowers the cotton rating and pricing baseline, because the graded price of mixed cotton can only be low or high. In addition, the textile use of mixed cotton will also cause the contradiction of poor product structure consistency, which is also not favored by textile companies.
Judging from the current situation of cotton production in the mainland, there is a high possibility of planting in small plots and picking multiple times for sale at one time. Considering the growth characteristics of cotton, early wadding and late frost affect the actual quality of cotton, which is significantly different from that of high-quality cotton in the middle. , enterprises and cotton brokers should publicize the significance of cotton’s “four points”, try to achieve staged grading of seed cotton sources, and embody the cottonquality control principles of high-quality cotton, high-quality price, high-quality cotton and high-quality use. , to prevent the “resurgence” of traditional cotton quality assurance system practices.
