From late October 2010 to early November, the national cotton market monitoring system, built by China cotton reserve management corporation, was introduced to China in 2010.

Cotton yield

The situation has been investigated nationwide, involving 15 cotton planting provinces (autonomous regions) and 87 cotton planting counties (cities and regiments).

The results showed that the cotton quality and yield were all adversely affected by the weather of cotton sowing during this year, which was subjected to continuous heavy rainfall such as low temperature and open season.

The cotton planting area of this year is 75 million 682 thousand mu, 1.1% less than that of last year. The output per unit area is 84 kg / mu, 4.4%, the total output is 6 million 360 thousand tons, and the reduction is 5.5%.

According to the subregion, the cotton growing area of the Yellow River River Basin suffered heavy rainfall in 8 and September. The cotton boll opening and autumn peach growth were affected. The number of mildewy peach, rotten peach and stiff cotton increased, and the quality and yield of seed cotton decreased, and the harvest time was postponed.

The average yield of the cotton area is 70.4 kg / mu, 1.4% lower than that of last year, and its area is 29 million 685 thousand mu, a decrease of 7%.

total output

2 million 91 thousand tons, a decrease of 8.3%.

Among them, the eastern part of Shandong province and the southern part of Henan province were more seriously affected. The total output of the two provinces was expected to decrease by 9.4% and 14% respectively. The main cotton producing areas in Hebei were limited and the total output increased by 0.4%.

Affected by the continuous rainfall in late September and the cold air intrusion in October, the air humidity and light intensity in some cotton regions of the Yangtze River Basin were increased, and the mildew and rot of cotton bolls increased. The yield and quality of cotton decreased, but in view of the enlargement of cotton planting area over the previous year, the total output increased.

The average yield of the cotton area is 67.4 kg / mu, 3.7% lower than the previous year, 20 million 756 thousand mu, 5.1%, 1 million 399 thousand tons, and 1.2%.

Among them, the two provinces of Hubei and Anhui were obviously affected by adverse weather, the total output decreased by 2.5% and 3.8% respectively, the output per unit area increased by 13.3% in Jiangsu, and the total output increased by 14.6%.

From late March to early April, the cooling weather of strong wind and floating dust had a certain effect on the spring sowing in the northwest inland cotton area. Cold air activities were frequent in 9 and October.

New cotton boll opening

The maturity of cotton seed was greatly affected and the harvest time of seed cotton was further postponed.

The average yield of the cotton area is 114 kg / mu, 7.8% lower than that of last year, 25 million 75 thousand mu, 1.5%, and 2 million 859 thousand tons, down 6.5%.

Among them, Xinjiang's yield per unit area decreased by 7.7% and its total output by 6%.

This statistic is a preliminary prediction result, calling on all links of cotton industry to have a clear understanding of cotton production and supply and demand pattern, to overcome speculative psychology, to operate prudently and to control risks.
