Cotton Production And Economic Benefits In Binzhou, Shandong 2010

Cotton production in Binzhou in January and 2010

In 2010, the cotton planting area in the city was 2 million 267 thousand mu, an increase of 158 thousand mu compared with 2009, an increase of 7.49%, a yield of 70.3 kg, a decrease of 10.1 kg compared with 2009, a reduction of 12.56%, a total production of 2 million 644 thousand and 400 per cent, a decrease of 463 thousand and 600 per cent compared with 2009, and a reduction of 14.92%. The main reason for the reduction of cotton yield in 2010 is that in August, there was a severe waterlogging disaster which occurred in a hundred years. The cotton growth was seriously affected, resulting in a decline in yield per unit area.

Two, 2010 Cotton production Cost and benefit

The cotton production cost per mu in 2010 was 896 yuan, an increase of 124.3 yuan compared with 2009, an increase of 16.11%. Among them, the cost of living labor was 414 yuan, an increase of 186.70 yuan compared with 2009, an increase of 82.14%. The main reason for the rapid rise of live labor costs is the large increase in labor costs. In 2010, the cost of materialization was 482 yuan, which was 62.4 yuan less than that in 2009, with a reduction of 11.46%. The main reason for the reduction of physicochemical cost is mainly the result of some agricultural factors, especially the price reduction of chemical fertilizer and the less serious diseases and insect pests in the year.

At present, the cotton sold in the city accounts for 73.90% of the total output.

The average selling price is 11.30 yuan / kg, an increase of 4.73 yuan / kg compared with 2009, an increase of 72%.

Three, suggestions and Countermeasures for further stabilizing cotton production.

First, we should do everything possible to achieve this goal. Encourage counties (districts) to adopt unified bidding. Purchase Or group buying cotton varieties, to minimize the cost of seed production, and to strictly control and reduce field management costs and production costs by unified timely sowing, unified fertilizer and water management, unified pest management and control, and unified chemical control, expand the operation volume of agricultural machinery, reduce the labor intensity of farmers, increase labor productivity, and increase the comprehensive benefits of cotton planting.

Two, we should intensify our efforts to enhance cotton production through science and technology. Extensive technical training has been carried out through radio and television lectures, training courses, field schools, science and technology collections, printing and understanding paper, and continuous improvement. Cotton grower And the quality of scientific and technological personnel, give full play to the role of science and technology as the primary productive force, vigorously promote the application of cotton varieties, vigorously implement the subsidy projects for the promotion of cotton varieties, fully tap the potential for increasing yield of high-yielding and high-quality seeds, continue to promote the construction of High-yielding Cotton production, and promote the overall development of cotton production in the whole city; strengthen the infrastructure construction of basic cotton fields, increase government input in soil improvement, ditch and culvert gate matching in Luqiao, transform middle and low yield fields, and build high standard cotton fields to achieve stable and high-yield cotton production.

Three, we should scientifically and orderly promote the industrialization of cotton industry. We should vigorously develop large-scale and intensive production, highlight the location advantages of all cotton planting counties (districts), further adjust and plan the planting structure and regional layout of cotton fields, speed up the transfer of one spring cotton to the dominant counties (districts), give play to the advantages of cotton production in large counties (districts), large towns (towns, offices), and large villages, and benefit from large-scale cotton planting; strengthen the role of leading enterprises, develop order agriculture, achieve effective docking between small farmers and large markets; actively guide and support the establishment of cooperative organizations for cotton farmers, and improve the degree of organization so that cotton farmers can participate in production and participate in circulation, and promote healthy and orderly development of cotton production.
