Transformation Of Cotton Industry From Extensive To Intensive In Xinjiang

In recent years, the cotton industry in Xinjiang has been impacted by two domestic and international markets. It is known as the "cotton of the Chinese Tarim" township, Xinjiang County Akesu Sha Ya county. Cotton industry development The strategy is to develop and expand the cotton industry around high quality, high yield and low cost, eliminate single, low yield, backward and high cost investment, and realize the transformation of cotton industry from extensive to intensive.

He Xuefeng is a famous cotton grower in the new reclamation farm, and has been planting cotton for 20 years. Unlike in previous years, he and many cotton farmers in the field voluntarily joined the agricultural cooperatives of Xin Ken farm in Sha Ya in 2013. He used laser technology such as laser leveling, drip irrigation under mulch, precision seeding and other high technology means to popularize cotton harvester in a large area, and achieved good results. Xin Ken farm cotton farmers He Xuefeng: "before we planted land, this place, flood irrigation species, easy to high places, where the drought and death, drowned, after the cooperative laser washing leveling, watering is relatively smooth, plus this drip irrigation high place, short place can be watered, but also can save water, white water fertilization can keep up with, so the yield per unit went up, no drip irrigation time (mu yield) is about 200 kg, now (mu yield) to 380 kg to 450 kg. "

He Xuefeng told reporters that in 2013, he planted 150 acres of machine picked cotton because of the importance of updating varieties and scientific management during the planting process. In 2013, the cotton yield was better than before. Because of the good price this year, the net income reached 160 thousand yuan. Although it is now in the middle of the winter, the purchase of cotton has been finished in many counties. Many farmers have been idle. But he is still busy counting the cotton income accounts in 2013, and scientifically and meticulously planning the cotton planting in 2014, looking forward to a good harvest in 2014. He is full of anticipation and hope for the future development of the cotton industry in Sha Ya county. He Xuefeng, a cotton grower of Xin Ken farm, said: "the future expectation is that Sha Ya can introduce more large textile enterprises so that our cotton can be sold well. In planting this piece, we can keep up with our large machinery, facilitate planting, facilitate management, reduce our labor force, and raise our income. "

The new farm farm in Shah County, shxuefeng County, was founded in April 2011. Farmers voluntarily participated in the form of agricultural machinery. After more than two years of exploration and development, the number of agricultural machinery households increased from 11 to 87 now, from 200 large sets of large, medium and small-sized agricultural machinery and equipment to 200 units (21700 sets), with fixed assets of 6 million 187 thousand yuan.

Nagata Ke, director of the agricultural and farmer cooperatives of Xin Ken farm in Sha Ya county, said: "now we have basically planned this land to more than 30 acres or 80 acres, and the irrigation water used to be 400. Now it has been reduced to 250 or so, which has greatly reduced the cost of the farmers. We have guided the experts to guide the adoption of the machine picked cotton after the laser leveling. Through these years of expert cotton cultivation, our farmers have also mastered the requirements of machine picked cotton and met the needs of picking cotton harvested. We planted 15000 acres of machine picked cotton this year, and bought more than 3000 mu, and the peasants did not get mixed up to 8.2 yuan per kilogram. The peasants were very satisfied and extended to us in 2014. Machine picked cotton The area is very confident. Similarly, in 2014, Tian Ya, the leader of the cotton field in Sha Ya county and the head of the cooperative, had planned a good blueprint for the development of the cooperative in 2014.

In the winter of 2014, we began to produce drip irrigation belts and plastic films to help farmers of our cooperatives purchase low production materials at the factory level, which greatly reduced the production costs of farmers. The farmers who now join the society and those who do not join the society can basically increase their economic income by 150 yuan, so that we can see hope and enhance our confidence. In the future, we hope that the Sha Ya county government can strongly support and help us guide the technology of agricultural planting. Next year, we will introduce large cotton pickers. We hope that we can build more cotton cleaning plants in the county, and we hope that we can build more cotton cleaning workshops in the county, so that the whole cotton industry of Sha Ya county and our new reclamation farm can be developed in a sustainable way. Nagata Ke, director of the agricultural cooperatives of Xin Ken farm in Sha Ya county, said: "next year we are going to grow more than 20000 mu. The actual harvest area of the machine picked cotton must reach 10000 mu. "

Sha Ya county is located on the northern edge of the Taklimakan Desert. Tarim River Flows through the county 220 kilometers, the soil is rich, the water source is rich, the illumination is sufficient, is very suitable for the cotton growth, therefore the cotton is the shaga County agricultural economy first pillar industry, as the national important cotton production base county, the county Party committee and the government accurately grasps the market dynamics and the market, strengthens the measure, strengthens to the cotton market and the quality supervision, in giving consideration to the cotton grower, the circulation enterprise and the cotton spinning enterprise three benefits simultaneously, strengthens the cotton purchase order management and the market supervision, guides the cotton processing and operating enterprise positively, displays the processing point many, the radiation surface is broad, the demonstration effect strong superiority, takes the lead to purchase the stock, has stabilized the cotton market price, promoted the entire county cotton industry to develop healthily.
