Izindaba ezikhethekile ze-China Cotton Network: Ngokwemiphumela yocwaningo ekhishwe yi-National Cotton Council (NCC) ngoFebhuwari 18, i-United States ihlose ukutshala ukotini ngo-2024, amahektha ayizigidi ezingu-9.8, ukwehla ngo-3.7%.
Ngokukhethekile, ngo-2024, indawo yokutshala ukotini e-United States izoba amahektha ayizigidi ezingu-9.6, ukwehla ngo-4.3%, kanti indawo yokotini ende izoba amahektha angu-202,000, ukwanda ngo-37.7%.
UJodi Campiche, iphini likamongameli kanye nomhlaziyi wezomnotho nenqubomgomo e-NCC, uthe i-acreage ingenye yezinto eziningi ezinquma ukutholakala kokotini nembewu yekotini. Ekugcineni, isimo sezulu kanye nesimo sezomnotho sezolimo kuzoba nomthelela omkhulu ekuvuneni.
Isebenzisa isilinganiso sesivuno esicishe sibe yiminyaka eyishumi futhi yenza izinguquko ezifanele ezifundazweni eziningana ngokusekelwe ekuswakameni kwenhlabathi kwamanje, i-NCC ihlela amahektha ayizigidi ezingu-8.1 kakotini wase-US avunwe ngo-2024 ngesivuno esingamaphesenti angu-17.9. Isebenzisa isilinganiso sesivuno seminyaka emihlanu edlule eningizimu-mpumalanga naseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-United States kanye nesilinganiso sesivuno seminyaka eyishumi edlule ezindaweni eziseningizimu-ntshonalanga nasentshonalanga ye-United States, kulinganiselwa ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kukakotini wase-US ngo-2024 kuzoba amabhali ayizigidi ezingu-14.6, kufaka phakathi amabhali ayizigidi ezingu-14 kakotini wase-upland kanye namabhali angu-538,000 kakotini omude.
Ucwaningo lwe-NCC luhlanganise izifundazwe ezingu-17 ezikhiqiza ukotini kusukela maphakathi noDisemba 2023 kuya maphakathi noJanuwari 2024 futhi lwabuza nge-acreage etshalwe ukotini nezinye izitshalo ngo-2023 kanye ne-acreage ehlosiwe etshalwe ngo-2024.
UCampiche uthi ngokomlando, abalimi base-US baye basabela emananini ahlobene lapho benza izinqumo zokutshala. Uma kuqhathaniswa namanani ajwayelekile esikhathi esizayo kwikota yokuqala ka-2023, wonke amanani ezimpahla ayephansi ngesikhathi socwaningo, kodwa ukotini ubhekane nokwehla okuncane kakhulu. Ngenxa yalokho, isilinganiso sentengo kakotini nommbila kanye nobhontshisi siphezulu kunango-2023. Ngokusekelwe ebudlelwaneni bamanani omlando, lokhu kuvame ukusho ukwanda kwendawo yokutshala ikotini. Kodwa-ke, izindleko zokukhiqiza ziphakeme ngo-2024 ngamanani amanje, ngakho-ke u-2024/25 ungasebenza ngokumelene nalobu budlelwano.
I-NCC ithe indawo yokutshala elindelwe isekelwe ezimweni zemakethe ngesikhathi socwaningo futhi ukutshala kwangempela kuncike ezimweni zemakethe kanye nesimo sezulu. Abakhiqizi bazoqhubeka nokuqapha izinguquko emananini ezimpahla kanye nezindleko zokufaka ngaphambi kokuphothula izinqumo zabo ze-acreage zango-2024. Kusukela ekupheleni kocwaningo, amanani kakotini akhuphukile, kuyilapho amanani ommbila nobhontshisi ehle kakhulu. Ushintsho esilinganisweni sentengo lungabangela ukuthi i-acreage kakotini ibe phezulu kunalokho okubikwe ocwaningweni lwe-NCC.
