From the quotations of some Aksu cotton processing enterprises and traders, long-staple cotton grade 3137 (breaking strength 38-39cN/tex) and grade 3138 (breaking strength 39-40cN/tex) have been reported in Xinjiang since late October. The delivery prices of weighted goods from the supervision warehouse are 37,000-38,000 yuan/ton and 39,400-39,600 yuan/ton respectively.
From the survey, due to the continued decline in the planting area of long-staple cotton in southern Xinjiang in 2021/22 and the slow progress of long-staple cotton picking, the current purchase price of long-staple cotton in Aksu region It has exceeded 14.5 yuan/kg, and some ginning factories have even raised the purchase price to 14.7-14.8 yuan/kg. Farmers are reluctant to sell.
According to the analysis of the public inspection situation of long-staple cotton in 2021/22: First, the color grades of long-staple cotton this year are mainly grade 31 and grade 41 (especially grade 41 has a higher proportion) , it may have an impact on cotton mills spinning high-count yarns of 60S and above with cotton; second, the length of long-staple cotton fiber is slightly better than last year, with 36mm and above accounting for more than 90%, and 35mm and below being very rare; third, long-staple cotton fiber length The specific breaking strength of lint is also slightly affected by weather and variety, and there are fewer batches higher than 40cN/tex.
A long-staple cotton processing factory in Aksu stated that the purchase price of seed cotton has risen crazily in the past week or so, and the quotations of lint cotton have also been raised accordingly. The supply and marketing contracts signed with some customers in the early stage will not be executed. Contract prices need to be negotiated or renegotiated with buyers, otherwise cotton processing companies will simply not be able to digest them. </p
