In The Past 19 Years, The Total Output Of Cotton In China Has Reached 6 Million 160 Thousand Tons.

According to the national cotton market monitoring system, the total output of cotton in China will reach 6 million 160 thousand tons in 2019, an increase of 0.9% over the same period last year, while the output of new cotton in Xinjiang is expected to reach 5 million 266 thousand tons, accounting for more than 85% of the total output of the country.

At present, with the cotton entering the harvest season in Xinjiang, the price of cotton purchase this year has shown a stable trend.

It is understood that Korla's first pick cotton seed purchase price is generally in the 5.3~5.7 yuan per kilogram, down 1.5 yuan compared with last year, but Xinjiang autonomous region still enjoys the national cotton price target subsidy of 18600 yuan per ton this year, which has given the local cotton farmers a reassurance.

Liu Huiqin, a cotton grower in Yuli County, Korla, Xinjiang has calculated such an account: no matter how much the price of cotton is sold, plus the subsequent price subsidies, the actual cotton lint is 18600 yuan per ton. Because there is no big natural disaster this year, the cotton production capacity of her family is close to 400 kilograms, the gross income of mu land is close to 3000 yuan, and the cost of planting and harvesting cotton is eliminated. This year, we can earn nearly 700 yuan per mu of land.

She said that compared with last year's cotton production in many cotton farmers in the area of 200 kilograms or even 150 kilograms, cotton yields and quality are good this year, and the income of cotton farmers is much better.
