Xinjiang Cotton Millions Of Cotton Farmers Have Escaped Huge Market Storms.

Just after the new year, cotton farmer Ahsan Mahati received nearly 10000 yuan subsidy from the township government, which was enough for him to grow.

Not losing money.

Ahsan Mahati, who lives in the village of tziruk, Kashi.

Farmers in Mengaiti County earn most of his family's annual income from 22 mu of cotton planted by him.

AI Shan Mai Ti said, "since the state has subsidized, my cotton no longer worry about selling."

Ahsan Mahati is only one of the beneficiaries of the national cotton price target reform pilot program. In the past two years, this policy has made millions of cotton farmers in Xinjiang escape the huge market storm.

Since September 2014, the state has carried out the target price of cotton in Xinjiang, set the target price according to the cost of planting, and ensure that the cotton farmers can gain a certain profit.

According to this policy, when Ahsan Mahati sells cotton, if the market price is lower than the target price, the state will subsidize it to him according to the difference.

Ahsan Mahati earned less than 50 thousand yuan for cotton sales in 2015.

"If it were not for state subsidies, it would be a loss," he said.

Previously, every time he encountered market fluctuations, he could only carry on such a risk.

They may not know that in recent years, even if the cost of planting can not be returned, the cotton price will be converted to processed cotton, which is more than 2000 yuan higher than that sold in the United States and India.

This makes domestic textile enterprises feel "unable to eat": because import quota is limited, imported cotton can not be bought; Xinjiang cotton can not afford it.

Xinjiang's cotton output accounts for more than half of the total output of the country.

In recent years, the central and autonomous regions have promulgated a series of policies to support the textile industry. A group of cotton textile groups have gone west and set up a layout in Xinjiang, forming a pattern of "two cities and seven gardens" centered on the two major textile cities of Akesu and Shihezi, undertaking the pfer of domestic textile industry.

However, the price of domestic cotton is much higher than that of domestic cotton.

Cotton and downstream textile enterprises have been increasing the cost of raw materials, and the new wave of "east to West shift" has also experienced an unprecedented impact, and the speed has slowed down for a while.

Now, the subsidies given by the state have guaranteed the benefits of millions of cotton farmers in Xinjiang, and their "lower families" - those who are almost unable to afford domestic cotton.

The company finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As cotton prices are being tested in Xinjiang while the government no longer interferes with market prices, China's cotton prices have entered a stage determined entirely by market supply and demand, and domestic and foreign cotton spreads have narrowed rapidly.

For domestic textile enterprises, although the purchase of cotton is not yet freely available in the international market, the cost of raw materials has begun to decrease significantly.

According to the data provided by Xinjiang textile industry management office, in 2015, the scale of local textile was more than 10 million spindles.

According to this speed, the scale of Xinjiang's textile industry is expected to achieve 20 million target ahead of schedule.
