Cotton Is Less Profitable Than Cotton Last Year.

Some farmers choose to continue planting cotton this year. A cotton farmers explained that from the allowance level, the state still needs cotton, or to support the market. The cotton price will not fall too far. If the chili is planted, it will be difficult to say. This year, a catty of 10 Fen yuan will be changed next year.

　　 The cotton farmers' income and expenditure in the field were just flat.

The cost of planting one mu of cotton is as follows: fertilizer 300 yuan, machine farming cost 40 yuan, seed 50 yuan, pesticide 100 yuan, mechanical sowing 30 yuan, plastic film 20 yuan, water conservancy expenses 30 yuan, miscellaneous 50 yuan.

The sum of material costs is 620 yuan.

The price of picking flowers in the mainland was 1.4 yuan a kilogram last year, while the unit area was 240 kilos per mu. The cost of collecting flowers in that area was 340 yuan.

The cost of renting land was 400 yuan per mu last year. The rent fee has increased this year. The land circulation in Binzhou and Dezhou is more, and the cost of renting land generally rises by 100 - 200 yuan / mu.

Calculated, the tenant planting large households, planting one mu of cotton, you need to invest 1360 yuan. The cost of seed cotton is converted to 1360/240, which is 5.7 yuan per kilogram, or 2.85 yuan per catty.

Last year, cotton purchase price was 2.8 yuan to 3.1 yuan per catty, the average price was near 2.9 yuan, so the cost and income of the mainland wrapped cotton farmers last year were just the same.

Although the self employed peasants do not have the cost of leasing land, they can only earn about 750 yuan profit, which is rather "poor" compared with the income of other crops.

　　 Other crops have the advantage of substitution.

Cotton can only grow one season a year. Last year, the output of one mu is 500 - 600 Jin, and the price per catty seed cotton is about 3 yuan. If farmers grow cotton, the annual income of one mu of land is about 1800 yuan.

Corn and wheat mashup can grow in two seasons, wheat yield 1000 - 1200 Jin, the purchase price is 1.18 yuan per catty, corn yield per mu is 1200 - 1600 Jin, the purchase price is 1.1 yuan per catty, two quarter is added, one mu land can produce 2400 kg. Farmers mix corn and wheat together, earning 2500 yuan a mu a year.

According to last year's price, the yield of chili is even higher. The yield of dried peppers is 2000 Jin, 2.5 yuan per catty, the selling price of fresh pepper is between 0.8 yuan and 1 yuan per catty, and the yield per mu is about 5000 Jin.

From the perspective of gross income, planting cotton is 600 to 700 yuan less than planting wheat and corn, less than 3000 yuan more than planting pepper, let alone pay more labor costs in cotton production.
