Dafeng City, Jiangsu, is located in the coastal area of the Yellow Sea and the middle part of Jiangsu Province. It is one of the earliest counties in China to establish high-quality and key cotton producing bases.

The whole city grows 600 thousand mu of cotton all the year round.

In Jiangsu, there are "cotton production to see Yancheng, Yancheng cotton to see Dafeng".

After a long period of production development, cotton has become a traditional rich project for farmers in the city and an important raw material for the booming textile industry. Its production status has played a decisive role in agricultural production and farmers' income increase and even in the economic development of the city.

According to the information provided by the agricultural sector, in 2009, 584 thousand mu of cotton were planted in the whole city, and the output per mu was about 70 kilograms. The total output was about 40 thousand tons, and the area yield decreased.

The main reason for the reduction of cotton production this year is the impact of disastrous weather.

In the seven or eight month, long-term low temperature, low illumination, typhoon and waterlogging caused the cotton to lose the best growing environment during the effective flowering and Bolling stage, resulting in a reduction in total output.

This year's cotton reduction is nationwide. In 2008, 780 tons of cotton were produced in the whole country. The total output is expected to be only 6 million 600 thousand tons this year, a decrease of 1 million 200 thousand tons over the previous year.

The tide of financial crisis has gradually declined, textile enterprises have gradually recovered, and cotton consumption has increased sharply, resulting in the rapid rise of seed and lint prices.

From the beginning of this year's purchase of new cotton, the price of seed cotton has been raised to 3 yuan per Jin from the time of opening the scales, and the price of lint has risen to 328 yuan or T from the 328 level 12500 yuan /T at the time of listing.

According to the situation of the city, the demand for cotton and cotton by-products resources has been in a state of excitement in recent years.

From any point of view, people consider cotton as a strong agricultural strength of Dafeng. Farmers have a special feeling, they can't throw it away, they can't throw it away.
