Hengshui: Agricultural input prices have soared, and cotton planting area may remain the same as the same period
According to feedback from local informants, Hengshui City, Hebei Province has been listed as a groundwater protection area, and policies have given more support to cotton and other varieties that use less water. However, cotton cultivation in the mainland for many years has shown disadvantages such as decentralization, non-mechanization, low efficiency, time-consuming work, and low yield. Generally speaking, farmers’ enthusiasm for cotton cultivation has not increased.
Although the price of seed cotton in 2021/22 has increased significantly compared with the previous year, at the same time, the price of local agricultural inputs has also risen rapidly, including chemical fertilizers, with an increase of more than 30%. Most of the cotton varieties are Zhongmian 9131, Hebei The prices of Feng 1458, Guoxin 9, Hanmian 5019, Nongda 23, etc. have also increased to a certain extent, which to a certain extent has affected the current enthusiasm of cotton farmers to prepare for farming. The pace of farmers purchasing agricultural inputs has also dropped compared with the same period last year. However, after various interviews and surveys, the cotton planting area in Hengshui City this year should not decrease, or remain the same as the same period. The specific situation depends on whether the price of agricultural inputs is too high, and then cotton farmers can finally decide on their planting intentions.
