According to statistics, as of December 9, the total cumulative lint processing volume in Xinjiang in 2020 was 4.1234 million tons, of which the autonomous region lint processing volume was 2.5582 million tons and the Xinjiang Corps lint processing volume was 1.5651 million tons. Although the current daily processing volume has been reduced to 4.5 -48,000 tons, but the recent widespread cooling, snowfall, and strong winds in Xinjiang have had a certain impact on the purchase, processing, and transportation of seed cotton. In 2020/21, Xinjiang cotton will be launched about a week earlier than in previous years. Coupled with the increase in cotton picking equipment and accelerated harvesting progress, the author judges that the total amount of Xinjiang cotton public inspections in 2020/21 will increase by 3.5-4.5% year-on-year. Xinjiang cotton The total output increased by 4-5% year-on-year (output 5.2-5.25 million tons).
What factors make Xinjiang’s cotton output in 2020/21 higher than expected? The author summarizes the following points: First, the impact of factors such as the XPCC’s restructuring, land transfer and planting costs on the cotton planting area is lower than expected. The XPCC’s unit output and total output increased in 2020/21; second, the land transfer in southern Xinjiang is accelerating to promote machine-picked cotton. , coupled with the promotion of melon cotton, fruit cotton, medicinal cotton, vegetable and cotton intercropping, etc., the cotton planting area has increased; thirdly, although the planting area of long-staple cotton in Awati, Shaya, Bachu County and other places has decreased significantly in 2020, Basically, they have switched to fine-staple cotton, and the yield of long-staple cotton is also very high this year. Fourth, except for the low-temperature precipitation in April in Xinjiang cotton areas in 2020, the overall impact of diseases and insect pests is minor, and the cotton is growing well. The yield per unit area in some cotton areas remained flat or increased slightly. </p
