Cangzhou, Hebei: The Weather Turns Better And Cotton Grows Better

In recent days, the weather in Cangzhou, Hebei Province is mainly sunny and high temperature, which is conducive to the growth of cotton. On the 16th, a cotton farmer in Cangxian County said that this year, 3.7 mu of cotton will be planted, with a common plant height of 80-90 cm, 7-8 fruit branches per plant, and 3-5 peaches per plant at the bottom. Some of the tops have bud or blossomed. If there is no particularly bad weather from late July to August, this year's cotton is expected to be a bumper year.
Many cotton farmers said that according to the current growth trend, it is estimated that the yield per unit area this year will be about 450 Jin / mu, and the high-quality plots may reach 600 Jin / mu. At present, the main work of cotton farmers is field management, foliage ventilation, spraying insecticides to control insects, spraying acetaminophen to prevent branches and leaves from growing rapidly, and so on.
Through understanding, most cotton farmers have two major concerns about cotton this year. One is the price of cotton. In 2019, the price of seed cotton is between 2.8-3.2 yuan / kg, and affected by the epidemic situation. So far, a few cotton farmers still have cotton. Cotton farmers hope that the price is 3.8-4.0 yuan / kg, so that the seed can be profitable. Second, sales. In recent years, the number of ginning plants in Cangzhou has been greatly reduced, and many cotton farmers are "hard to sell cotton". Cotton farmers hope to sell cotton at home.
Recently, there are small fluctuations in the spot market. As the July monthly report released by USDA recently showed that the global cotton production was greatly reduced, which brought great benefits to the market. Zheng cotton futures also rose on the wind, ice cotton also began to be ready to move, some cotton spot merchants rose slightly spot price. As of the 16th, the price of 3128b cotton in Cangzhou market was 11900 yuan / ton, while that of Xinjiang "shuang28" machine picking cotton was 12400 yuan / ton. However, cotton is still a price without market, the market is full of wait-and-see mood.
