The working videophone conference was held in Beijing.

Chen Mengshan, chief economist and director of the general office of the Ministry of agriculture, said in his speech that due to the high market prices and the implementation of the subsidy policy for high-yielding varieties, the establishment of high-yield activities has been comprehensively promoted, and the initiative to effectively mobilize and protect farmers' cotton planting has been effectively mobilized and basically prevented the trend of declining area for two consecutive years.

According to the Ministry of agriculture, the cotton planting area of about 74000000 mu in 2010 is basically the same as last year.

Chen Mengshan said that at present, cotton has entered the late growth stage and harvesting stage, and the agricultural departments at all levels must further intensify their efforts, vigorously implement measures and strive for a good harvest of cotton production.

First, we must strengthen the late field.

; two, we should guide farmers to harvest scientifically; three, we must do a good job in the acquisition and processing of cotton seeds; four, we should guide farmers to sell in good time.

He said that on the basis of grasping the cotton production this year, the agricultural departments at all levels should plan the cotton production next year as early as possible.

At present, cotton production is facing many new situations and new problems: first, the demand is strong, and the gap between cotton production and demand is expanded from several hundred thousand tons to millions of tons per year, and the supply pressure is increasing. Two, the import is increasing. Compared with the outer cotton, the domestic cotton has no advantage in production cost, quality grade and production subsidies, and the competition pressure is increasing. Three, the comparative efficiency is low, and the stability of production is becoming more and more difficult.

In particular, he pointed out that we must accurately grasp the situation and difficulties faced by cotton production, and continue to adhere to meet domestic demand.

With cotton demand as the goal, efforts should be made to restore the planting area, increase the income of cotton farmers, and promote the steady development of cotton production, and strive to restore the cotton planting area to 80 million mu next year and produce more than 7 million tons.
