Xinjiang Epidemic Situation Turns Better, How About Cotton Farmers And Cotton Enterprises?

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Urumqi again, Xinjiang has carried out different levels of prevention and control measures, and the prevention and control measures are also different in different regions. At present, the number of new cases in Xinjiang has been zero for four consecutive days, and the epidemic prevention and control situation in the whole region is developing towards a positive trend. However, experts also pointed out that the epidemic situation is still complex and severe, and the risk of rebound can not be ignored. In more than a month, Xinjiang cotton will be on the market in the new year. During this period, whether it will affect the cotton production, Xiaobian, through the communication between some cotton farmers and the ginning plant, thinks that the cotton growth is normal at present, and the ginning plant maintenance is also in a step-by-step way, which has little impact on the harvest and processing of new cotton.

1 Cotton grows well and field management is not affected

Xiaobian learned from some cotton farmers in the north and the south through wechat that since the beginning of the epidemic, farmers have basically lived in farms and fields, busy with field management, and manage cotton according to the specific situation. Some cotton farmers isolated at home let workers or their families and cooperative members manage cotton and communicate by telephone at any time. For the growth of cotton, most cotton farmers said that the overall growth is better than last year, and the expected yield is about 400 kg / mu. Some farmers also said that under the influence of the epidemic situation, it was difficult to hire people to work in the field, and the cotton field grew grass more seriously, so they had to weed by themselves. But for later picking, there is still a month or so, which should not be affected.

    I learned from the communication with cotton farmers that at present, farmers are particularly concerned about the price of cotton after listing this year. Here, Xiaobian speculates that due to the large number of cotton ginning plants newly started in Xinjiang (which have not been opened in previous years, and are ready to start maintenance this year), and other reasons, such as new factories, the expansion of processing capacity may cause the phenomenon of rush harvest, leading to seed cotton this year The opening price is higher than last year.

2 Most of the normal maintenance of the ginning plant, purchasing personnel have come to the plant

On August 13, the list of the first batch of cotton target price reform processing enterprises in the autonomous region in 2020 was announced. Click in detail: announcement of the first batch of cotton target price reform processing enterprises in 2020. The training of information workers and cotton inspectors in Xinjiang cotton ginning plants was basically completed through network training, and the staffing of each ginning plant was also actively carried out, without being affected. The relevant departments of various prefectures are also actively taking measures. For example, a division for the cotton purchasing personnel in Xinjiang adopts the methods of reporting in advance, doing effective double resistance within 7 days and green code in 14 days without epidemic area, and special transportation and transportation management to cope with the impact of the epidemic situation.

In general, the maintenance work of cotton ginning plants in Xinjiang started in the middle of July. In view of the uncertainty of the epidemic situation, many enterprises began to repair equipment in early July. So far, some enterprises have completed the maintenance and are waiting for the commissioning. However, according to the understanding of the small group, there are a small number of enterprise maintenance personnel can not be in place on time after the outbreak of the outbreak, so that the progress of equipment maintenance in these ginning plants has been delayed. However, with the coordination of relevant departments in the later stage, the maintenance personnel have basically entered the factory and started work.

In addition, some processing enterprises need to upgrade their machinery and equipment. After the equipment is ordered, the automobile transportation from the mainland to Xinjiang is delayed. The person in charge of a factory said that through further communication with relevant management departments, relevant certificates should be provided before shipment, and after reporting in advance, they can enter the factory directly. Generally speaking, the processing concentration period is about the beginning of October, and there is still more than one month left. According to the current trend of the epidemic development, it may be too early to affect the acquisition and processing this year.

3 The capital of agricultural development bank is ready

According to the information released by Xinjiang branch of Agricultural Development Bank on the 13th, in the face of the complicated situation of cotton purchase this year, Xinjiang Branch arranged and planned the cotton credit management of this year as soon as possible, and scientifically and orderly promoted the preparation of cotton purchase loan in the new year. Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Branch, in accordance with the overall requirements of "ensuring acquisition and promoting stability", plays a major role in the supply of cotton purchase funds, and has prepared enough credit funds of 50 billion yuan to fully support Xinjiang cotton acquisition.

In the early stage, Xinjiang Branch calculated the purchase fund demand in full according to the cotton planting area, estimated output and estimated market price, and prepared enough cotton purchase fund of 50 billion yuan in advance, which was specially used to serve Xinjiang cotton acquisition and ensure that cotton farmers "sell cotton and get money". At present, 95 cotton enterprises have been qualified for acquisition, and 86 of them have been reported to the examination link or have been approved.
