It is understood that Xinjiang is China's largest production base of high-quality commodity cotton and the only production base of long staple cotton. More than 60% of China's cotton is produced in Xinjiang. In recent years, as Xinjiang has made great efforts to give play to its advantages in cotton production, petrochemical industry and coal chemical industry, and vigorously developed the spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and clothing industries, high-quality cotton yarns produced in Xinjiang have been welcomed by enterprises all over the country. Every year, a large number of cotton and cotton yarns are transported to all parts of the country by railway.

At the beginning of the new spring, with the acceleration of the resumption of production, Xinjiang railway departments actively docked with enterprises related to the cotton and cotton yarn industries, found out the production and sales needs of enterprises, accurately formulated personalized and diversified transportation plans according to the transportation plans of enterprises, and strengthened transportation capacity and equipment investment by means of sporadic carpooling, assembly vehicles, etc, Serve customers quickly and efficiently.

We contacted the dispatching department, allocated vehicles in advance, set aside 66 cargo spaces on the platform, organized the loading and loading in time, and achieved the priority of loading and hitching, so as to achieve rapid shipment within 48 hours, and ensure that the goods can be transported to the destination in time."
