< p > with the "a target=" _blank "href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "> textile > /a > industry moving westward, Xinjiang is completing the pformation from the planting base to the textile industrial base, and building an important high quality textile production base in China, and the dance of Xinjiang cotton industry will undoubtedly be more passionate.

< /p >

< p > cotton farmers can not know how the pformation of futures and industrial policies is stirring the cotton industry, but the changes around them drag them into a "cotton tango" which is hard to refuse.

< /p >

< p > < strong > cotton industry Tango how to jump? < /strong > < /p >

< p > < strong > 5 years, the new life of cotton farmers in North Xinjiang is like a Dream Tango.

< /strong > < /p >.

< p > in 2009, after the low cotton price in 2009, the price of < a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/Matertial/show/default.aspx" > cotton < /a > reached 23932 yuan / ton in 2010, the highest record in the domestic market in the past 10 years.

As Fan Youxin prepares to expand the planting area next year, cotton prices plummeted in 2011. Since then, the state has implemented the policy of collecting and storing the market, and cotton prices have stabilized.

< /p >

< p > now it is the cotton harvest season. Although Xinjiang is a large cotton producing area, cotton production accounts for over 50% of the whole country. However, under the background of cotton price upside down, excessive domestic and foreign cotton price difference makes it more and more difficult for local textile enterprises to sit on Xinjiang cotton mountain.

From an economic point of view, the cotton price and the relatively simple production and supply mode of Xinjiang cotton are in the low profit position of "smile curve".

< /p >

< p > strong > upstream: the last mile of mechanization < /strong > /p >

< p > < strong > local machine picking cotton is difficult to implement < /strong > < /p >.

Fan you Xin, who is 50 years old and less than p strong, has opened his eyes.

< /strong > < /p >.

< p > October 15th, the roar machine was running back and forth in the winter village of downer, Bole City.

In the more than 100 acres of cotton fields, only he and his wife are in shape.

< /p >

< p > in the first village where machine picked cotton is used for the first time, only old people and children are left. Young people are away from home.

< /p >

< p > fan has new theory. In the past, at least ten flower pickups were needed.

Taking 350 kilograms of cotton seeds per unit yield as an example, it costs 2 yuan per kilogram to pick flowers artificially, so that it costs 700 yuan to pick flowers manually, while the machine takes only 200 yuan, with a difference of 500 yuan between them.

< /p >

< p > in his 20 years of farming career, cotton planting and harvesting are gradually getting rid of artificial traces.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that the total area of cotton planted in Xinjiang is 16 million 550 thousand mu this year, plus the area of the Corps, it is estimated that the planting area in Xinjiang is 23 million ~2400 mu.

< /p >

< p > > a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Xinjiang < /a > Ding Weidong, director of the Agricultural Mechanization Management Office of the production and Construction Corps (animal husbandry and Veterinary Bureau and Forestry Bureau), director of the machinery harvesting cotton office, said that this year's cotton machinery harvesting area will continue to increase, which will exceed 5 million 200 thousand mu, accounting for 58.9% of the cotton growing area of the Corps.

At the end of 12th Five-Year, the whole machine will pick up more than 80% cotton.

< /p >

< p > however, the promotion of local cotton picking is very difficult.

Jarhen Elias, chief of the economic crops division of the Agricultural Technology Extension Station of the autonomous region, said that this stems from a lack of uniform standards in the purchase price.

Machine picked cotton will cause the length of cotton fiber to shorten. The change of every millimeter will affect the quality of cotton, thus affecting the price.

< /p >

At present, all parts of Xinjiang are groping for the acquisition standard of machine picked cotton (P).

In the Bole city where Fan Youxin is located, 0.5 yuan per kilogram of machine picked cotton is used to subsidize the pformation of workshops and equipment in processing enterprises.

This is not only a worry for Jarhen Elias. In July this year, the "2013 cotton Outlook Forum" was put forward by experts. The standard of acquisition and processing of machine picked cotton should be introduced as soon as possible, and support for the machine picked cotton industry should be provided.

< /p >

< p > Changji, which is more than 400 kilometers away from fan's new home, has been using GPS to sow seeds this year.

Since then, Xinjiang cotton has realized the comprehensive mechanized operation from sowing to harvesting.

< /p >

"P" Jarhen Elias introduced, GPS positioning sowing, daily sowing cotton 300 mu, 1000 meters long vertical error of the sowing line is not more than 2 centimeters, the accuracy rate of 2.5 centimeters, "look like a soldier queue, field management, not easy to hurt the seedlings."

< /p >

< p > this not only creates conditions for mechanized picking, but also saves cost.

< p > < strong > middle reaches: Cotton grading < /strong > < /p >

< p > < strong > improving quality and enhancing competitiveness < /strong > < /p >

< p > this year, the average output per unit area per unit area of fan Xin's cotton is 260 kg (seed cotton).

Affected by climate, the output of cotton in Xinjiang is slightly lower than that of last year.

This means that even if mechanization is realized, the quality of cotton processing needs to be improved if we want to expand revenue.

< /p >

< p > in the office of Wang Xinjiang, Secretary of the national cotton Engineering Technology Research Center, there is a schematic map of cotton planting in Xinjiang, which clearly reflects the cultivation of cotton in Xinjiang.

Fan Youxin's Bole was covered with purple.

< /p >

< p > according to the national cotton dominant regional layout plan, the 11 prefectures in Xinjiang are planned to be the three largest cotton, South, North and East regions, including Bazhou, Akesu, Kashi, Ke Zhou and Hotan.

< /p >

At the end of the harvest, fan Hao Xin sent these cotton seeds to the ginning factory and became a lint and then sold them to the textile enterprises by the state. P

< /p >

Li Haobin, a researcher at the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who has long been engaged in cotton pest control research, said that cotton is actually a perennial plant. Only when it is mature and continuously harvested, can p achieve quality close (length, color and maturity).

And "we collect them together in a time period, resulting in cotton mills being difficult to distinguish, and the quality distinction is not obvious, affecting the quality of spinning".

< /p >

< p > the current situation is that cotton purchase is mostly mixed up.

Since September 1st, the implementation of new standards for the acquisition of cotton reserves.

The new standard pays more attention to the internal quality of cotton, and now it is implemented in color level. There are 13 levels and 4 types, which are more extensive than previous standards.

< /p >

< p > according to the statistical data of the Xinjiang Xinjiang Commission, half of the textile enterprises above Designated Size in the 1~8 months are losing money this year.

For nearly three years, Xinjiang textile enterprises can not afford the new territories cotton, and the spearhead refers to the cotton purchase and storage policy.

< /p >

< p > in fact, since 1993, the cotton area, unit area, total output, quality and output of Xinjiang have been the first in the country.

The output has been maintained at over 60%.

All this shows that Xinjiang is rich in cotton resources.

< /p >

The general idea of < p > cotton production in Xinjiang is that Xinjiang's "12th Five-Year" high quality cotton base construction plan will invest 1 billion 413 million yuan, and the cotton area will be stabilized at about 25 million mu, and the total output will be maintained at about 3 million tons, with an average yield of 125 kg.

< /p >

< p > Wang Xinjiang thinks that the highest yield of cotton per mu can reach 200 kg, and there is little room to dig.

He used the "smile curve" in the interpretation of cotton industry.

< /p >

< p > this arc like a smile shaped mouth, from left to right is technology, patent, the middle part is assembled and manufactured, the right segment is brand and service, and the curve represents profit. The curve of smile is in the middle position for profit low, while in the right and left two parts is the profit high.

< /p >

< p > unfortunately, Xinjiang is located in the middle of the "Smiling Curve".

< p > < strong > downstream: Transformation of cotton industry < /strong > /p >

< p > < strong > increase added value of cotton < /strong > /p >

< p > above shows that although Xinjiang is a raw material province of textile "a target=" _blank "href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "clothing" /a "industry, but for more than 30 years since reform and opening up, it has always been selling low value-added products.

< /p >

< p > Wang Yanping, Secretary General of Xinjiang Cotton Association, analyzed that Xinjiang cotton industry chain was too short, resulting in a large number of additional value loss.

Cotton growers have been sent to cotton ginning plants for half a year for a long time. After rough processing, they have been sold directly to the mainland, while the mainland enterprises that spin cotton into yarn, woven fabrics and make garments have eaten up cotton profits one after another.

< /p >

< p > increasing the added value has become a breakthrough for Xinjiang's cotton industry to break through the bottleneck.

< /p >

Wang Xinjiang and his colleagues discussed the pformation of planting base to textile industry base and provided special cotton for the development of textile and garment industry. P

In turn, we will further promote the production of raw materials and promote each other.

< /p >

< p > this coincides with the assumption of Xinjiang Li Yi Qi a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > dress /a > Culture Development Co., Ltd.

< /p >

Less than P, the garment industry in the mainland impressed him with the mature industrial chain.

From the raw material market, the specialized accessories market to all kinds of equipment including knitting, and to the related professional training market, "even a zipper has the corresponding producer to complete it for you".

< /p >

< p > in his view, all these deficiencies have weakened the competitiveness of Xinjiang cotton industry in the domestic and foreign markets, and are more vulnerable to the impact of the international market, causing the cotton producers and operators to be in a passive position.

< /p >

What Wang Xinjiang has been able to do to help P is that the plan to promote the textile and garment industry to promote employment of millions of people (2014 - 2020) has been completed.

According to the plan, by 2020, the total value of the textile and garment industry reached 163 billion 500 million yuan.

< /p >

< p > according to the plan, the industry will be driven by the market, and the "two cities, seven gardens and one center" will be built. The two cities include Shihezi textile industrial city, Akesu textile industrial city, seven parks and Urumqi international textile trade center.

And gradually improve the industrial chain, develop the textile industry with national characteristics, and build the Western garment industry industrial park in Western Xinjiang.

We should give full play to the advantages of the long staple cotton base and form differentiated competition with the mainland.

< /p >

< p > this makes the fan fan Xin who flies across the cotton field somewhat excited. He used to dance with others. When next year's Tango music rings, he knows at least whether to move forward or backward.

< /p >

< p > < strong > concluding remarks < /strong > < /p >.

< p > < strong > cotton industry will abandon the time-consuming manual harvesting and realize mechanized planting, which is only the first step in the pformation of cotton industry.

< /strong > < /p >.
