According to the data published by Hubei Agriculture Office, the cotton acreage is 69.147 million mu this year. How to treat these numbers rationally, the cotton expert Yi guoxiang said directly:"reduced cotton acreage may benift farmers, that means an increase in revenue".

The reduced cotton acreage happens not only in province, but also in the whole china, the drop is 11.8%, and the USA, the drop is 4%. This means, this year's cotton supply will be reduced sharply.

Another news is, cotton textile enterprises become active with the effort of the united leaders and workers. The data shows, cotton textile enterprises in our province begin to earn money based on last year's lose, so does enterprises in other province.

However, the cotton growing situation is not so optimistic. Yi guoxiang said:'the farmer should hold the opportunity to manage the field work. We should not lose confidence and we can still get harvest if we manage the drought, fertilizer and do the topping until Mid-August".
