Introduction Of Cotton Production And Operation In Xinjiang Area

Xinjiang

Learned from the Agriculture Department of Autonomous Region: the total output of cotton in our district has reached 3 million 180 thousand tons this year, up 9.7% from the same period last year, and the total area of cotton sown in the whole area is 24 million 700 thousand mu, an increase of 2.75%.

In the 20 consecutive years, the cotton area, output per unit area, total output and output have been the first in China.

According to the statistics of the Agricultural Bureau of autonomous region, the cotton planting area in Xinjiang reached 24 million 700 thousand mu in 2012, an increase of 660 thousand mu compared with 2011, an increase of 2.75%.

Among them, the area of cotton planting area was 16 million 460 thousand and 400 mu, an increase of 439 thousand and 100 mu, an increase of 2.74% compared with that of the previous year. The cotton planting area of the Corps was 8 million 300 thousand mu, an increase of 260 thousand mu compared with that of the previous year, an increase of 3.2%.

At present, our region has entered the late stage of cotton sale, and cotton farmers everywhere seize the favorable opportunity for the state to implement the temporary purchase and storage policy for cotton purchase, and actively sell cotton.

In order to ensure the safe takeover of cotton, in early November of this year, the Xinjiang branch of the Agricultural Development Bank of China provided cotton credit funds up to 43 billion yuan, an increase of 19.78% over the same period last year.

According to the national cotton dominant regional layout plan, 11 prefectures in our district are planned to be the three largest cotton, South, North and East regions, including Bazhou, Akesu, Kashi, Ke Zhou and Hotan.

Among them, Akesu is one of the three largest cotton growing areas in Xinjiang, and its output per mu has reached 121.93 kilograms, and its output has reached a new high.

To further promote the further development of Xinjiang's cotton industry, the state will increase financial support for high-quality cotton base facilities and production bases starting from this year, and plans to invest 1 billion 413 million yuan to build a "high quality cotton base" of Xinjiang in 12th Five-Year.

Li Xueyuan, a researcher at the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences Research Institute of economic crops, said that since 1993, Xinjiang's cotton area, output per unit area, total output and output have all been the first in the country.

The output has been maintained at over 60%.

According to the briefing, the general idea of cotton production in our region is that during the "12th Five-Year" period, the cotton area is stabilized at about 25 million mu, and the total output is maintained at around 3 million tons, with an average yield of 125 kg.

28 days from the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps labor and Social Security Bureau professional introduction service center learned: the end of November 25th, the Xinjiang Corps in 2012 cotton picking work in an all-round way, 383 thousand and 400 pick-up "gold" 2 billion 542 million yuan.

According to the briefing, at present, 383 thousand and 400 Xinjiang gardeners have returned safely to their homes, sending out 145 columns of flower picking workers, sending 340 thousand flower pickers, picking up 3 million 603 thousand and 500 tons of seed cotton and paying 2 billion 542 million yuan for flowers, and picking up flower workers earning 6630 yuan, an increase of 9.6% over the average income of 5996 yuan in 2011.

Picking up flowers every year, Xinjiang corps should introduce a large number of pickers in and out of Xinjiang to support cotton production, and began to go to other provinces to pick up flower workers in 2003.

At present, we have gradually formed a diversified introduction pattern of "administrative support, voluntary cooperation, market operation and win-win cooperation". We have established long-term and stable labor relations with Henan, Gansu, Ningxia, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chongqing and other provinces and municipalities.

While vigorously organizing flower picking, Xinjiang Corps has also been increasing efforts to popularize machine driven cotton in recent years in order to cope with the shortage of pick up workers and to overspend.

The data showed that the mechanization rate of cotton production in Xinjiang Corps increased year by year, and the number of flower picking workers decreased year by year due to the vigorous promotion of machine picked cotton. In recent years, the average annual reduction of cotton production was 100 thousand.

Xinjiang Corps is an important commercial cotton production base and high quality cotton producing area in China. The annual output of cotton accounts for 1/6 of the country's total and its export volume accounts for half of the total.

Since 1995, cotton yield per unit area, cotton per capita, commodity rate and export rate have been ranked first in the country.

About 8 million 300 thousand acres of cotton are planted this year, including 5 million mu of machine picked cotton and 1 million 380 thousand tons of lint cotton.

In 2011, Xinjiang Corps planted 7 million 920 thousand mu of cotton, of which nearly half of the machine picked cotton area.

The total production exceeds 1 million 250 thousand tons; 371 thousand and 800 workers were actually brought in to pick up flowers, and 2 billion 227 million yuan was paid for flowers and flowers; 106 were sent to pick up flower workers, 235 thousand were sent to pick flowers, and 5996 were paid by flower picker.
