In September 6th, Chen Suzhi, a flower picker from Shangqiu, Henan, was in Xinjiang's production and Construction Corps, the two division of agriculture, the thirty regiment, the eight company, and two Dou Sinong. cotton field Pick up cotton. Last year, Chen Suzhi earned more than 6000 yuan. Chen Suzhi's heart was very happy at the thought that he could make more money this year than before.

On the 2 day, the labor and Social Security Bureau of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps was informed that: up to now, the cotton picking work of the Xinjiang regiment has come to an end, and 371 thousand and 800 flower pickers have been introduced and paid 2 billion 227 million yuan.

According to reports, 371 thousand and 800 flower workers have all returned to their homeland safely, sending out 106 columns of flower picking workers, sending 235 thousand flower pickers, picking up 3 million 175 thousand and 100 tons of seed cotton and paying 2 billion 227 million yuan for flowers, and picking up flower workers earning 5990 yuan, an increase of 29% over the average income of 4660 yuan in 2010.

At the time of picking up flowers, the Xinjiang Corps promptly released the demand information for picking up flower workers, and introduced a large number of picking workers in and out of Xinjiang to support cotton production. In order to change the chaotic situation of the spontaneous and disorderly flow of flower pickers in the past, since 2003, the Xinjiang Corps has gone to other provinces to recruit flower pickers and orderly introduce them. At present, we have gradually formed a diversified introduction pattern of "administrative support, voluntary cooperation, market operation and win-win cooperation". We have established long-term and stable labor relations with Henan, Gansu, Ningxia, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chongqing and other provinces and municipalities.

Xinjiang Corps is one of the most important high quality cotton producing areas in China. The annual output of cotton accounts for 1/6 of the country's total. In 2011, 7 million 920 thousand mu of cotton were planted, an increase of 6% over the previous year. The total output of lint is expected to exceed 1 million 250 thousand tons, up 8.7% from the previous year. Since 1995, cotton yield per unit area, cotton per capita, commodity rate and export rate have always been the first in the country. The quality of cotton resources has always been a pride. However, due to the low degree of mechanization of harvesting links and the shortage of labor due to harvesting time, the industrialization of cotton and the development of modern agriculture have been seriously hampered. Based on this, Xinjiang Corps has been increasing the popularity of machine picked cotton in recent years while organizing artificial picking, so as to cope with the shortage of pickers and overspend. Up to now, the mechanical harvesting area of cotton has reached 3 million 500 thousand mu, and has more than 700 large cotton pickers. It has been recognized as the largest mechanized cotton picking base in China by the State Council.

At the beginning of this year, the Xinjiang Corps proposed that 3 to 5 years should be used to fully mechanized cotton picking, so as to improve the picking progress, reduce the cost of harvesting, and enhance the competitiveness of cotton in the international market. The mechanization rate of cotton production in Xinjiang Corps increased year by year, and the number of flower picking workers decreased year by year. Data show that: in 2011, Xinjiang Corps introduced 371 thousand and 800 flower workers, a decrease of 100 thousand people compared to 2010. In 2010, 475 thousand and 800 workers were picked up, 100 thousand less than 2009, and 579 thousand workers were picked up in 2009, and 100 thousand fewer than those in 2008, decreasing year by year.

During the "11th Five-Year" period, the Xinjiang Corps attracted more than 50 migrant workers to gather flowers every year, contributing to the spanfer and employment of surplus rural labor force in Xinjiang and some provinces and municipalities in the mainland. In the 5 year, 3 million 127 thousand workers were selected and paid 12 billion 222 million yuan in cash. Among them, 2010 paid 2 billion 219 million yuan for flower pickers, and a total harvest of nearly 3 million tons of seed cotton.
