Cotton Harvest This Year, Cotton Farmers Are Less Happy Harvest.

As in previous years,

Cotton farmers are busy again after the harvest season.

But unlike last year, because cotton prices have been sluggish this year, many cotton growers have lost the joy of harvest at the same time.

Lin Miying has contracted more than 200 acres of seawall to grow cotton this year. Since the beginning of September, she has employed dozens of small workers to pick cotton every day, but the price of traders to buy cotton seeds has been hovering around 4.3 yuan a kilogram, and has continued to go down.

Lin Miying said that since the beginning of this year, the price of agricultural materials has increased and labor costs have increased. Picking cotton can not be mechanized. All of them rely on manual picking, resulting in an increase in the cost of cotton planting.

Because cotton prices are low this year, cotton farmers are selling them.

The enthusiasm is not high, and do not rush to sell. They put the newly picked seed cotton dry piled up at home and expect the price to rise.
