Around the Spring Festival, cotton farmers in Wangjiang and Susong counties in Anhui Province received cotton subsidies for 2019 and 2020 from the financial department in their “all-in-one card” accounts. Cotton farmers have been looking forward to the cotton subsidies for the past two years. The improvement of subsidy standards and the disbursement on the eve of new cotton planting have greatly increased the enthusiasm of large cotton farmers to grow cotton.
It is understood that the subsidy standards for cotton farmers in Wangjiang and Susong counties in 2019 and 2020 are higher than in previous years and are increasing year by year. Wangjiang County has also increased subsidies for large households planting more than 15 acres of cotton. In 2020, the per-acre subsidy standard for large cotton households will reach 450 yuan/mu, setting a record high. The increase in cotton subsidy standards and timely disbursement have a great impact on the enthusiasm of large cotton farmers to grow cotton this year, and they are willing to expand their area. According to a survey of large cotton planting households under fixed-point monitoring, the increase in cotton planting area this year is not less than 20%. A certain type of large cotton farmers in Susong County reported that most large cotton farmers now almost implement mechanized operations such as machine sowing and drone control, as well as green cultivation models that reduce weight and reduce pesticides. The biggest expense is the cost of manual picking. If the price of seed cotton reaches 4.00 yuan/jin, the cotton subsidy will be a net profit. Therefore, the two-year subsidies that have been waiting for a long time have been released one after another, which will undoubtedly have a great incentive effect on large cotton farmers.
