Deputy director Ma Shuping said in September 10th that the current China

The challenge of the industry as a whole is greater than opportunity. It faces three major challenges: increasing supply pressure; increasing difficulty in stabilizing production; and importing great pressure.

Ma Shuping said at the Zhengzhou Agricultural Products Futures (cotton) summit forum that this year's cotton situation in China is flat, physiological period postponed, and growth is not as good as perennial.

If there are no major natural disasters in September and October, cotton will probably get a good harvest. If the latter climate is bad, stability will be a test last year.

Ma Shuping said that China's cotton supply pressure is increasing.

From 2001 to 2008, China

The average annual growth rate of cotton reached 10%, while cotton production increased by 5.8% during the same period.

At present, China's textile industry uses more than 10 million tons of cotton. In recent years, cotton production in China has averaged 7 million 60 thousand tons.

At the same time, it is difficult to stabilize cotton production.

In 2003, when seed cotton was sold for 6 yuan a kilogram, cotton planting area increased by 10 million mu in second years.

Last year, seed cotton had been sold at a historical high of 7 yuan, and the planting area is basically flat this year.

In addition, cotton import pressure is very large.

Ma Shuping believes that China's cotton acreage should be stabilized at about 80 million mu, guaranteeing 7 million tons of total output, meeting 70% of the textile industry's cotton consumption, thus ensuring the Chinese people to dress.
