Cotton Production Can Be Xinjiang Hand Picking Cotton Processing Enterprises Dilemma

It is understood that by the middle of August, the cotton growing areas of Xinjiang entered the flowering stage, and the peach was accelerated to expand. Some cotton fields in the eastern part of Hami and Turpan have cracked bells and boll opening, and cotton field management has entered a critical stage. Farmers and ginning plants in Bachu, Akesu, Korla and other places reflected that although the southern Xinjiang experienced low-temperature precipitation and high temperature since mid July in 4-5, but due to the replenishment, fertilization, topping and other field management in place, plus pest control in time, the overall cotton growth was gradually weakened by the weather.

From the survey of Weili, Pu Hui, Sha ya, Kuche and other places, cotton planting area increased steadily in 2019, and the output per unit is expected to be flat or even slightly higher than that in 2018. Therefore, some ginning plants and agricultural departments believe that if there is no extreme weather in late September to mid September, such as prolonged rainfall, the total output of cotton in southern Xinjiang will be higher than that in the previous year.

At present, a large part of the ginning factory has finished the maintenance of the machines, and actively participated in the training of fire prevention, taxation, safety supervision and so on. The acquisition and processing of cotton in 2019/20 can be described as "everything is ready but only under the east wind". With a sharp contrast to the middle of August, there are still about 20% of the cotton processing enterprises in the southern part of the country closed, and there is little hope of opening up before October.

Industry analysis, 2019/20 Southern Xinjiang cotton picking mill is mostly in a dilemma: first, there is still a certain amount of Chen cotton for sale; two, it is not easy to obtain loans from agricultural development bank and commercial bank; three, the purchase price of hand picked cotton is high, and the probability of production and marketing upside down is large; four, spinning enterprises are more inclined to pick cotton.
