Exclusive Interview With China Cotton Association: The Main Cotton Producing Area In The Mainland Will Be Given A Quota Subsidy.

2014 cotton year is the first year of implementation of cotton target price reform policy. Recently, with the release of the detailed rules, people in the industry have been calling for advice on their concerns. As a result, China cotton information network has interviewed the leaders of the China Cotton Association to participate in the research of target price policy.

Cotton collects cotton seed cotton purchase price and cotton price as the market price. According to the monitoring cotton price, cottonseed price and linen percentage, the relevant departments calculated the lint price according to the formula: seed cotton and lint price = [seed cotton price - cottonseed price x (1- lint percentage)] / linen percentage + processing cost. The price is from September to November. According to historical experience, the sale of cotton in Xinjiang can reach about 85% during the price period, which basically represents the actual selling price. Market prices are approved by the average price level of Xinjiang autonomous region, not single. Cotton grower The actual selling price.

The monitoring of cotton market prices is led by the national development and Reform Commission price center, the Ministry of agriculture's agricultural product market monitoring and early warning center, and China. cotton The association and the central reserve cotton information center jointly participated. The monitoring points cover most cotton producing counties in Xinjiang and the cotton planting division of Xinjiang Construction Corps. Each monitoring unit collects the actual spanaction situation daily, including the purchase price of seed cotton, the sales price of cottonseed, the linen percentage and other indicators. Finally, according to the daily price, local output, grade structure, acquisition progress and other indicators, we calculate the average cotton market price in Xinjiang.

The total amount of subsidy is determined according to the price difference between target price and market price and the output measured by the National Bureau of statistics. Under the condition of constant output, the lower the market price is, the more total the total subsidy will be.

The target price subsidy is divided into two steps: first, before the end of December, the central government will allocate the total amount of subsidy funds to the Xinjiang autonomous region and the production and Construction Corps; two, the autonomous region and the Corps will send two subsidies to the cotton farmers, that is, the fiscal departments will pay the subsidy by planting certification before the end of January of next year; In accordance with the Interim Measures for the use and management of subsidized funds in Xinjiang's cotton target price reform pilot, the financial departments will cash the area subsidy funds and production subsidy funds to cotton growers in the form of "one card" or other forms.

The state will give quota subsidies to cotton farmers in the main cotton producing areas of the Yellow River and Yangtze River Basin. The subsidy target is limited to the farmers who actually grow cotton, so that farmers can get the cotton seeds. Tangible benefits 。

It is a normal phenomenon for cotton prices to return to the market in the new year, and the government will minimize interference in the market. However, if there is an extreme market situation, excessive domestic cotton prices fall and a large area of "selling cotton is difficult", the state will take the necessary measures to encourage enterprises to enter the market, and when necessary, they can also buy and stabilize the market by the Central Cotton store company. The state has the capability and means to maintain normal market operation and ensure that the pilot reform of target price has been successful.
