More Than 3 Million Mu Of Cotton In Bazhou, Xinjiang Entered The Peak Period Of Purchase

"Now, when we go to the cotton factory to deliver cotton, we don't have to queue up, and the speed is also very fast. The price of one mu of land is about 3000, and the cotton profit is about 1000 yuan." Zhang Xuejun, a cotton farmer in Bohu County, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture (hereinafter referred to as Bayingolin), Xinjiang, said.

In recent days, the cotton harvesting work of 3.57 million mu in Bazhou, Xinjiang has come to an end. All cotton processing enterprises have stepped up their purchase and orderly production to ensure that cotton farmers can deliver and sell. In 2022, cotton farmer Zhang Xuejun planted more than 2000 mu of high-quality cotton. Due to the adoption of fine management and mechanized operation, the cotton yield per mu is expected to reach more than 470kg.

In the cotton plant, snow-white cotton is piled up like a mountain, and workers are loading, unloading, stacking and packing cotton in an orderly manner. In the workshop, the machines roar and the motors are used to transport the packed cotton. After marking and marking, the cotton is transported to the designated site for warehousing. Tan Jiangfeng, the person in charge of the local cotton processing enterprise, said that since the enterprise began to weigh and harvest cotton in the middle of November, the company has sufficient funds. It adopts the method of cash delivery and cash settlement, and does not give white notes to cotton farmers.

Tan Jiangfeng said, "In 2022, we will start to purchase in late October. So far, we have purchased 11000 tons of seed cotton. The planned purchase fund is 150 million yuan, and we plan to purchase 20000 tons."

Bazhou, Xinjiang is one of the important production areas of high-quality cotton in China. According to the statistics of Bazhou Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in Xinjiang, the total cotton output of 3.57 million mu in Bazhou, Xinjiang is expected to reach 1.4 million tons in 2022, and the total lint output is expected to be more than 500000 tons. Both the total output and the unit yield are higher than last year.

Li Weifang, secretary of the Party Leadership Group and director of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative Association in Bohu County, Bazhou, Xinjiang, said: "During the cotton purchase this year, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative arranged special personnel to go to the production line of the enterprise as required, urged the enterprise to do a good job in safety production, and required the enterprise to implement various cotton purchase policies, safeguard the interests of the majority of cotton farmers, and ensure the completion of the cotton purchase and processing task this year.
