Near the national day, cotton picking has been launched in all parts of the country. The Jiaxiang District of Jining, Shandong has entered the stage of concentrated picking.

The survey was informed that because of the poor cotton planting income, the cotton planting area of Shandong Jining Jiaxiang area has been decreasing year by year, and more economic crops such as capsicum and corn have been replaced. Recently, local cotton picking was concentrated, most of the plots were picked more than half, and the picking rate of individual plots was as high as 70%. In order to save time, cotton growers take the method of "cotton peach", which is to remove the cracked bolls, and then gather them in the air after drying. At present, cotton is bright and white with good quality. In the near future, if there is no big change in the weather, the new cotton is expected to yield 450-600 Jin per mu.

Since the opening of the scale, the purchase price of the new cotton has been steadily increasing. The price of the new cotton is 2.90-3.00 yuan / jin (lint 38-39%, moisture less than 15%). With the continuous improvement of the quality of seed cotton and the low price of the cotton farmers, the cotton mill has gradually increased the purchase price. At present, the factory price is 3.05-3.10 yuan / jin (39% of lint, 13-14% of moisture), which is up to 0.05-0.1 yuan / jin at the beginning of the opening scale. The processed lint is a good four grade, the factory price is 12300 yuan / ton (big bag, with the ticket), and the initial price of the cotton seed is 100 yuan / ton. Because two of the local oil and cotton mills keep purchasing processing and cotton seeds are in good demand, and the lint shipments are better in recent years, the manufacturers seize the opportunity to increase the purchase volume, and the purchase amount of new seed cotton per day is about 200 thousand jin, and with the acquisition processing, the capital turnover is accelerated, and the operational risk is also avoided.
