Anhui: Producing Good Cotton In China, Promoting Agricultural Efficiency And Increasing Farmers' Income

China is the world's largest producer of raw cotton, and is also the largest cotton importer and importer. It imports large quantities of cotton, cotton and so on every year.

Alliance Secretary General Zhang Xiling said in an interview with ScienceDaily daily, 9, that good cotton is produced. Through the promotion of high yield and quality new varieties, standardized planting mode, water and fertilizer control integration and mechanization technology in Xinjiang, Yangtze River and other cotton areas, China's cotton quality is catching up with the United States and Australia, trying to get out of the cotton industry in the cold winter as soon as possible.

According to statistics, the annual output of cotton in China is about 500 - 6 million tons, accounting for 29% of the world, but the annual demand is more than 8 million tons.

Our country has high quality cotton, that is to say.

The cotton demand of "double 28.5" above the length and breaking strength is 3 million tons, while China's annual output is only 990 thousand tons.

Zhang Xiling said that at present, China's cotton production has many problems, such as complex technology, long cycle, many links, more employment, more investment and low mechanization.

Such factors as price fluctuation and lack of labor in rural areas have led to the reduction of comparative advantage and competitiveness of cotton and other crops. It is urgent to study new technologies, establish high-quality and high standard experimental demonstration bases, promote agricultural efficiency and increase farmers' income.

It is the national high quality cotton production base county.

Zhang Xiling said that the Wangjiang demonstration area of the national cotton industry alliance has promoted the standardized planting of improved varieties, cotton special formula controlled release fertilizers, integrated pest management and other high quality and high-efficiency integrated cultivation techniques, and established a new modern cotton planting mode that combines agricultural machinery and agronomy. It has changed the small area planting as a centralized scale planting, improved the level of cotton production mechanization, and established the "three section" production mode of water saving, fertilizer saving and medicine saving.

In the "state"

Zhang Jiewei, director of the Ministry of agriculture and rural science and education, said that the cotton industry alliance should build high-quality and high-yield standardized experimentation area to enhance the consistency of fiber quality, reduce and eliminate pollution of seed pests and cotton and lint, and make good use of textile demand for cotton production and order sales, establish a new mode of cotton production and supply, and enhance the core competitiveness of China's cotton and textile industry.
