Due to the reduction of planting area and rainfall, the purchase price of cotton in 2010 has increased significantly, and the downstream cotton textile enterprises are facing enormous cost pressures.

According to statistics, only cotton production in Shandong is reduced by more than 10%, and the output of cotton and other cotton producing areas in Binzhou and Dezhou is even as high as 20%. In order to balance market demand, the state has increased the selling power of reserve cotton, but the effect is not very satisfactory.
