Cotton Prices Rise: Cotton Farmers Smile &Nbsp, Customers Waist Tighter

This year the whole country

Cotton growers are looking forward to the coming year.

In the morning of November 15th, the reporter came to the Yongan township of Jiujiang county. She stood on the Yongan dam and looked down. All the fields were covered with patches of cotton.

The old farmer ye ye, who is picking cotton from the ground, told reporters that he planted 10 mu of cotton this year. Since the price of cotton has increased, he has sold more than 10 thousand yuan of cotton at present. "Seeing that cotton can sell for about ten thousand or seven thousand or eight thousand this year, it is not at all white."

At this time in the past, ye uncle planted cotton income around 10 thousand yuan.

According to a few villagers in the field, planting cotton in previous years has always been very small, and it takes too much time. "Just cutting, weeding, medicine and so on don't know how hard it is, and last year cotton was only 2 yuan to 3 yuan a pound, which is really not cost-effective."

This year cotton has been bumper harvests, and its price has doubled over the previous years. They did not expect it. All the farmers' friends laughed and said they would plan to increase their planting area in the coming year.

Bottom buyer dilemma

Jiujiang County Xin Tong Township farmer Lao Wang often bought agricultural products from various townships in the county. This year, the price of cotton has risen. He seems to have expected it. He told reporters, "the cotton purchase price is too low in previous years. I reckon it should rebound this year, the result is really rising, but I didn't expect the price to rise more than 1 times."

Although cotton is tight at the moment, he told reporters that he did not dare to buy more. He sold it directly to the manufacturers directly after the purchase in the countryside. "I dare not hoard the goods. If the price falls, it will lose a lot of money. Only a little more than 3 yuan a time ago. I will sell it directly after I have collected it, and the price will rise all the way, so I will not make any money from it.

But now it has risen to 6 yuan a kilogram, and I still dare not buy it in large quantities, but I can only sell some for fear that it will be too high.

Old Wang had all this fear of price. The price was rising all the time when he bought rapeseed a few years ago. He bought dozens of tons and planned to go up to a suitable price and sell again, and then the price plummeted, making him lose all his blood.

"Although the price of cotton is still rising, I still dare not buy it in large quantities, and earn a little bit."

Lao Wang told reporters.

The reporter walked across several villages in Yongan Township and encountered several dealers who drove the countryside to buy cotton. They shared the same idea with Lao Wang. "Now I go to the countryside several times a day, just to get more cotton.

I am very optimistic about the cotton sales market this year. I have collected dozens of tons in several counties, and sold a good price.

A cotton acquirer told reporters.

But they say they dare not stay in the warehouse for too long after takeover and buy some for sale.

Cotton prices rise, clothes keep up

Xiao Zhang found that the price of clothes has also been on the rise. In November, the shop bought a bottoming shirt from the shop. The price was between 40 and 50 yuan.

Two days ago, she bought clothes in the street and saw a coats. When bargaining, merchants refused to let go. They said that the price of cotton rose, and the clothes went up quickly.

As the price exceeded her budget, Xiao Zhang had to give up.

Instead of buying online, it turns out that online clothing has also risen to varying degrees. The price of a thicker garment is at least 200 yuan, and there is no guarantee of quality. "I have to wait and see, because the price of clothes is now beyond the original budget."

Reporters interviewed through the streets found that with the rise in cotton prices, anything that is related to cotton is also rising.

As the cold air invaded, the winter clothes of major supermarkets in the city were on shelves, and some stores and supermarkets found that almost all of the cotton products had gone up this year.

A shop owner who made sheets and curtains on three li street said that the average price of cloth has risen by about 7 yuan per metre. "Now the goods are very tight, and it is said that cotton producers are hoarding cotton."

In the past two years, cotton based apparel has been on the rise and has risen by 10% to 20% this year.

Xiao Li, a shop owner, told reporters that the price of the same style winter dress was one hundred or two hundred yuan this year.

Many industry insiders pointed out that the rise in clothing prices is not caused by cotton but is magnified by businesses. It is undeniable that the price of raw materials will indeed affect the finished products market. However, professional analysts believe that cotton has gained a lot since the three quarter, but the clothing sold on the market is not so fast.
