Ke Jun: Carry Out Pilot Demonstration Of Supply Side Reform Of Cotton Industry

Tianmen, Hubei province is a big city of cotton production. In March 10th, Ke Jun, NPC deputy and Secretary of the Tianmen Municipal Committee, proposed to carry out an interview with reporters.

Pilot projects to support agricultural pformation and development in main cotton producing areas.

According to Ke Jun analysis, from cotton growers, the first thing is that cotton efficiency is plummeting.

The price dropped from 5.2 yuan per kilograms in 2010 to about 2.8 yuan / kg in 2015, and the gross income per mu decreased by 46%.

Two, adjusting the structure requires a period of adjustment.

Many farmers are reluctant to abandon cotton for decades, but there are also some adjustment and adaptation periods.

From the point of view of local governments, guiding farmers to carry out structural adjustment mostly comply with the national grain stabilization policy and implement "cotton to grain" and "drought to improve water". However, there are still some problems and difficulties. First, the investment in irrigation and water conservancy facilities is increased, and the conditions for irrigation and water conservancy in relevant areas need to be reformed. Two, it is unable to enjoy the state related policy support of 100 billion kilograms of grain production. Three, there is a gap between the grain farmers enjoying the state subsidy policy and the same areas.

Ke Jun believes that the agricultural pformation and development of the main cotton growing areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has become an urgent task at present.

In the process of pformation and development, the state also needs to be valued and tilted.

It is suggested that the state increase the support for the agricultural pformation and development of the main cotton producing areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and carry out the pilot demonstration of the supply side reform of the cotton industry.

First, we should establish a demonstration area for the pformation and development of cotton industry in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

"Cotton to grain" is a major adjustment of agricultural planting structure. We must adjust measures to local conditions and step by step.

On the one hand, we need to carry out the trial of fallow crop rotation after the cotton area is reduced in major cotton producing areas, and explore and solve the problems of soil pollution and resource consumption caused by long-term single species planting, so as to leave room for the production of grain or other crops and emergency situations.

On the other hand, it is possible to implement the high yield demonstration of the integrated production system in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and carry out a pilot demonstration in promoting the application of new cotton varieties, demonstration of new cultivation techniques, and integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy.

The two is to increase support for the pformation of cotton to grain.

For example, Tianmen's cotton area has dropped from about 600 thousand mu to about 250 thousand mu, of which 150 thousand mu will be replaced by grain cultivation. The matching of grain infrastructure capacity and the construction of high standard farmland demonstration projects is imminent.

It is suggested to establish special construction funds for "cotton to grain" in the main cotton producing area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and give priority support to the layout, examination and approval, capital arrangement, especially the construction of high standard farmland.

Through rational planning, we should strengthen the construction of water conservancy projects and improve the support ability of agricultural production.

Three is to adjust and implement the "cotton to grain" region related preferential agricultural subsidy policy.

We should give the same subsidy policy to the counties and cities that meet the requirements according to the standards of 100 billion jin grain production counties in China.
