In order to improve picking progress and reduce harvesting costs.

This is the news conference from which the journalists held the six plenary session of the six session of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps.

agricultural modernization

Process, and gradually realize the machine picked cotton area of 3 million 500 thousand mu.

It is understood that in recent years, picking up flower workers is difficult to recruit, and the cost of picking flowers increases year by year, which directly restricts the development of the corps cotton industry.

In 2010, the average cost of picking flowers in each reclamation area of Xinjiang Corps was 1 yuan to 2.5 yuan per kilogram.

A cotton picker can complete the workload of about 600 flower pickers. One mu of land can reduce the cost of harvesting cotton by about 300 yuan.

Xinjiang Corps is one of the most important high quality cotton producing areas in China, and the output of cotton accounts for 1/6 of the whole country.

In 2010, the Corps planted 6 million 800 thousand mu of cotton and expected to produce 1 million 100 thousand tons of lint.

Since 2001, the Corps has popularized cotton picking in the 38 farms of the first agricultural division, the six agricultural division, the seventh agricultural division and the eight agricultural division. After many years of exploration and practice, the Corps has formed a relatively perfect technology system for machine picked cotton.

In 2010, the cotton harvesting area of the regiment was over 2 million 500 thousand mu, and the number of cotton pickers was about 700.
