Expansion of spinning scale and rapid processing capacity

According to the statistics of the development and Reform Commission of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, the cotton spinning scale of the Corps was 1 million 800 thousand spindles in 2008, reaching 2 million 250 thousand ingots by the end of 2009, and the planned expansion to 3 million ingots in 2010, with an average annual growth rate of 29% over the 3 years.

The expansion of the scale has enhanced the processing capacity of the corps cotton.

Roughly estimated 1500 tons of cotton is needed for 10 thousand spindles of cotton yarn. In 2008, 20.77% of the corps cotton was processed into cotton yarn by the Corps, which increased to 29.75% in 2009 and 40.9% in 2010.

Wang Xinming, the political commissar of the eight division of Shihezi farm, introduced that in 2000, only 5% of the entire Corps was processed into cotton yarn by the Corps.

Economic structure adjustment, planting area compression

However, while the processing capacity is expanding, the cotton growing area of the Corps is decreasing.

Statistics from the Bureau of statistics showed that in 2009, the whole Corps planted 6 million 985 thousand and 200 mu of cotton, which was 17.3% lower than that in 2008. The two plenary session of the six session of the Six Party committee (enlarged) revealed that the cotton planting area of the Corps will be further reduced to 6 million 500 thousand mu in 2011.

Before 2009, the cotton growing area of the regiment has been on the rise.

The adjustment of agricultural structure in BINGTUAN is the direct cause of the cotton planting area compression.

In 2008, the Corps put forward a strategic plan for adjusting the agricultural structure of "increasing grain and reducing cotton, increasing fruits and increasing livestock", and demanded that the low yield, low efficiency and risk cotton areas should be resolutely removed.

In 2009 alone, the whole Corps quit 1 million 160 thousand acres of low risk cotton fields, accounting for 13.7% of the 2008 cotton planting area.

Zhang Jieping, general manager of Xinjiang Yimi cotton Group Co., Ltd., introduced that because of climate and soil reasons, the planting selectivity of Northern Xinjiang was relatively small, and the problem of "stabilizing cotton" was not big. But in southern Xinjiang, one of jujube trees survived for more than ten years, and farmers' income of planting cotton and planting jujube was very different.

In addition, in 2009, the Corps issued four prohibitions against soil and water development, and fallow a lot of land.

The decrease of total planting area restricts the expansion of cotton planting area.

Demand does not decrease or pressure on cotton enterprises in the mainland.

Zhang Jieping believes that if the regulation fails, the excessive expansion of Xinjiang's spindles will directly lead to more intense competition within the industry.

The fierce competition for cotton resources has caused a new round of integration storm in cotton purchasing industry.

Xinjiang has been the largest cotton producer in the country. The increase in the size of Xinjiang's local spindles will increase the consumption of cotton in the territory and will reduce the total amount of Xinjiang cotton that can be pported to China. This will make the cotton textile enterprises in the mainland depend on the contention of Xinjiang's cotton resources.

Zhang Jieping said that by 2015, Xinjiang West Silver force cotton Group Co., Ltd. should strive to acquire 600 thousand tons of cotton (planned for 400 thousand tons in 2010), accounting for 2/3 of the output of cotton on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains.
