Supply is stable! New changes in cotton planting, processing and sales

my country is the world’s largest cotton consumer and the second largest cotton producer. The supply and marketing cooperative system is the main channel for purchasing and selling cotton in my country, accounting for more than half of the market share. Under the guidance of standardization andintelligentindustry standards, cotton planting, processing, and sales are also undergoing new changes.

Yuli County in Xinjiang is a high-quality commercial cotton production county in the country. At present, 1.25 million acres of cotton have entered the final harvest period. Large cotton pickers roar in the fields, producing a cotton weighing 200 grams every 10 minutes. Tons of cotton bales. They are nicknamed “golden eggs” by cotton farmers. Cotton farmers don’t have to worry too much. These bulky “golden eggs” are automatically harvested and packaged by the cotton picking machine.

Jin Jianfei, a cotton farmer in Tongqike Village, Xingping Township, Yuli County, Xinjiang: The yield per mu has increased by 70 to 80 kilograms compared with previous years. This year’s harvest is very good.

Different from traditional cotton planting and management methods, this batch of cotton was grown in strict accordance with the requirements of the “China Cotton Production Management Standards”, and the entire process of seed selection, fertilization, agronomic operations, etc. was recorded. Multi-function seeders, global satellite navigation systems, drones, and large-scale cotton pickers are applied in sequence according to the production process, with mechanized and intelligent control of the entire production process.

Wang Jianhong, deputy director of the Agricultural Materials and Cotton and Linen Bureau of the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives and vice president of the China Cotton Association: The China Cotton Association has issued the “China Cotton Production Management Standards”, involving the entire cotton and textile industry chain. We hope that through the implementation of the China Cotton Sustainable Development Project, we can promote the highquality and sustainable development of my country’s cotton industry.

Ma Shen, head of Bazhou Integrated Operations of China Cotton Xinjiang Company: Adopting the “leading enterprise + cooperative + farmer” model, this year the cumulative area of orders signed is about 1.14 million acres, covering about 20,000 farmers.

At the same time as the production mode is changing, the National Cotton Trading Market of the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative has given full play to its role as a comprehensive service platform for standardized transactions of national commodity cotton, focusing on planting, purchasing, processing, warehousing, inspection, outbound and textile enterprise procurement, etc. links to enhance cotton competitiveness. Every bale of cotton ginning at the ginning factory will have a unique “ID card” – a cotton quality traceability system barcode.

Ji Bo, regional manager of the National Cotton Trading Market: The cotton bale barcode contains the delivery date, company code, name, delivery method, cotton farmer information and other contents, which will be uploaded to the National Cotton Trading Market big data platform.

From a market perspective, according to the analysis of monitoring data from the China Cotton Association, orders from large and medium-sized textile companies are relatively sufficient, which has led to an increase in cotton consumption. From 2020 to 2021, national cotton consumption will be 8.1 million tons, an increase of 5.9% from the previous year. Judging from the progress, the new cotton harvest will basically end in mid-November. The total cotton output this year will remain at around 5.9 million tons, and the cotton supply is stable.
