In 2021, Xinjiang Corps’ cotton output dropped slightly, but quality improved significantly
Cotton is the agricultural backbone of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. In 2021, the cotton output of the Xinjiang Corps, an important commodity cotton production base in China, dropped slightly, but the quality improved significantly. .
On January 4, according to the Xinjiang Corps Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021, the Xinjiang Corps will continue to optimize grain and cotton planting areas and structural varieties to comprehensively improve the quality and efficiency of the cotton industry. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the Xinjiang Corps’ cotton output in 2021 reached 2.083 million tons, a decrease of 50,000 tons or 2.4% from 2020.
“Look to Xinjiang for China’s cotton, and look to the Xinjiang Xinjiang Corps for cotton.” Data show that in 2021, China’s cotton sown area was 45.422 million acres, a decrease of 2.112 million acres or 4.4% from the previous year; the Xinjiang Corps’ cotton sown area was more than 13 million acres, basically the same as in 2020. In 2021, the Xinjiang Corps produced more than one-third of the country’s cotton with a quarter of China’s area.
In 2021, the Xinjiang Corps issued a series of policies called the “Cotton Quality Improvement Action Plan”. Each cotton grower, city, and regiment field will do a good job in cotton seed selection, field management, machine harvesting and processing, etc., and the quality of cotton will be significantly improved. , six cotton quality indicators such as average length, breaking strength, and micronaire grade were all better than the previous year.
It is reported that Xinjiang Corps cotton not only has obvious quality advantages, but also maintains a high level of mechanization, scale, water-saving irrigation, and scientific and technological support. At present, the comprehensive mechanization level of cotton farming and harvesting in the Xinjiang Corps exceeds 98%, and the mechanized harvesting rate exceeds 94%. It is the largest mechanized cotton picking base in China, and its mechanization level ranks among the top in China.
Seeds are the key to high cotton yield and quality. Now is the winter slack season. Cotton planting divisions, cities and regiments of Xinjiang Corps use training, publicity and other methods to guide cotton growers to choose to plant the 2022 cotton recommended by each division and city. The main planting, matching and demonstration varieties will lay a solid foundation for this year’s production.
In 2021, the Xinjiang Corps also reaped a bumper harvest from grain planting. The annual grain sowing area hit a new high in the past five years; the total grain output was 2.809 million tons, an increase of 395,000 tons or 16.4% over 2020. The total grain output hit a record high. .
