Handan: Ginning Mills Are Difficult To Acquire And Most Of Them Have Difficulty In Making Acquisitions.

Recently, seed cotton picking in Hebei Handan area has been completed. The market has entered the peak season of seed cotton sale and lint buying and selling, but overall, the market is very cold and cheerless. Most of the cotton ginning mills indicate that this year's seed cotton purchase is difficult to increase, and the survival is faced with great challenges.

The head of a 400 type cotton ginning factory indicated that the price of local seed cotton had been greatly improved, and the price of the 40% lint reached 3.20 yuan / Jin, up about 0.12 yuan / Jin compared with the previous week, and the purchase price of the general quality cotton was also around 3 yuan / kg, but the Japanese daily purchase volume remained at 2-3 Jin Jin, which fell sharply compared with the same period last year, and the seed cotton purchase was difficult to obtain. At present, the main selling price of the local lint is 13100-13300 yuan / ton, gross profit is 300-400 yuan / ton, and because of the difficulty in organizing and selling the lint cotton, and the factors such as the wages, interest and turnover of the workers are lagging behind, there are few benefits for the enterprises.

According to local cotton farmers feedback, the cotton planting area in Handan has decreased by 20% again this year compared with 2018. The total output of lint is expected to be 30 thousand tons this year. The substantial reduction of resources is the fundamental reason why cotton can not be processed. Moreover, the unit price of seed cotton has dropped by 0.2 yuan / kg compared with last year. Cotton growers do not recognize it. Cotton producers and 400 type ginning plants lack the intermediate link between cotton growers and cotton producers, making the industrial chain unsmooth, which is also an important reason why cotton seeds are difficult to harvest and cotton farmers are "difficult to sell cotton".

This year, the 400 type of cotton ginning plant in Handan has encountered many difficulties besides "no rice and pot".

First, lint is not sold. Many ginning factories indicate that the impact of Xinjiang cotton on real estate cotton is very large in recent years. For example, as of November 29th, the Xinjiang mainstream 3128B pick up cotton mainstream picking price of 13000-13100 yuan / ton, hand picked cotton mainstream delivery price of 13100-13400 yuan / ton, compared with the real estate cotton has a strong sexual advantage, many textile factories in the mainland said, cotton only Xinjiang cotton or imported cotton, real estate cotton base do not need.

Two, the downward trend of Zheng cotton brings pressure to spot sales. Due to no obvious progress in Sino US negotiations, ICE cotton rebounded and Zheng cotton was negatively affected. Recently, the CF2001 contract was set at 12700 yuan / ton, which made many cotton ginning mills and cotton traders feel pressure.

This year, the 400 type of cotton ginning plant in Handan area has greatly delayed its opening time compared with last year. Most of them started buying in the early November, and this year, only 10-12 factories were involved in the acquisition process. Compared with the total number of nearly 100 enterprises, the scale was only about 10%, which was affected by the cold market this year. Some ginning plants said they would suspend the acquisition in the near future, and Handan cotton city is gradually withdrawing from the acquisition and processing.
