Opportunity For Cotton Industry To Meet Pformation In Xinjiang Autonomous Region

In 2014, the state took the lead in implementing the pilot project of cotton target price reform in Xinjiang, and explored a new mechanism for separating cotton prices from subsidies. By implementing this brand new subsidy mode, Xinjiang cotton was forced.

Reform will allow cotton to continuously concentrate on suitable cotton areas, increase the scale of cotton planting and enhance the efficiency of cotton planting.

Planting structure has been optimized and cotton target price reform pilot work has been carried out for a year. The biggest change of cotton production in our district has been the decline of planting area. Some areas that are not suitable for planting cotton are gradually withdrawing from cotton planting.

In December 1st, farmers were selling new cotton in the acquisition station of the Zhengda cotton limited liability company in Sha Ya county.

At present, the purchase of cotton in Sha Ya county is coming to an end. It is expected that all acquisitions will be completed in mid December.

Up to now, 31 counties in Sha Ya county

The total purchase of new cotton reached 300 thousand tons.

In the face of the current situation of reducing the cotton target price and reducing the comparative benefits of cotton planting, how will the majority of cotton farmers further adjust the rural industrial structure and increase their income in multiple channels in the face of the three yuan structure pformation from grain to grass?

There are three main options for alternative crops: grain, cash crops and forage.

By optimizing the layout of cotton industry and reducing the cotton planting area of "land withdrawal and water reduction", we will focus on planting three crops according to the three decisive factors of market demand, farmers' planting habits and comparative benefits.

One is wheat.

In order to ensure the absolute safety of rations, according to the grain security strategy of "balance in the region and a little savings", under the premise of upholding the balance of water and soil, the planting area of wheat can be increased properly and the sowing area of crops such as multiple cropping can be increased everywhere. In order to ensure the safety of grain in the region, the land output efficiency can be increased, and feed forage for the development of animal husbandry can be provided, and the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry can be realized, so as to increase farmers' planting income.

The two is characteristic cash crops.

According to the law of market demand, all localities can develop special economic crops on the basis of "order agriculture", expand the planting area of special economic crops such as processing tomato, pepper and chrysanthemum, seed and gourd, and increase the income of farmers.

Three, according to the development needs of the "ten million mutton sheep" industry in the autonomous region, we should popularize good quality forage grass, replant alfalfa, silage corn and other forage, solve the problem of insufficient forage in the development of animal husbandry, promote the healthy development of animal husbandry, and increase the income of farmers through various channels.

Affected by cotton harvesting and processing, the development speed of local machine picked cotton in our region has been developing rapidly in recent years. In 2014, the area of local cotton production area was 2 million 430 thousand mu, and the area of local machine production area is expected to exceed 4 million mu this year.

Due to the use of defoliant in the production of machine picked cotton, the number of flowers in the processing link increased, and the quality of cotton decreased to some extent.
