There are still 2-3 months to sow. At this point, procurement is often able to get a more reasonable price.

Before January 16, 2015, the regiment had a regiment and began to prepare for farming.

For cotton growers, preparations for farming in 2016 should be relatively relaxed compared with 2015. Since the first cotton target price subsidies in all parts of Xinjiang have been distributed to cotton farmers in succession, cotton growers are relatively well-off in terms of capital, laying a certain capital foundation for their early procurement of production materials.

A cotton grower in Wensu County of Akesu said that some cotton growers have begun to purchase the production materials needed for planting cotton.

It is reported that according to past practice, the southern Xinjiang preparation work will start in early March, when cotton farmers will purchase chemical fertilizer, plastic film, seeds, pesticides and other agricultural materials on a large scale. From the end of March to the beginning of April, most cotton areas will start planting.

The planting time in the northern Xinjiang is generally 10 days later than that in the southern Xinjiang.
