Xinjiang'S Cotton Production Reached A New High, And There Were Some Joys And Worries After The Harvest

As of January 28, Xinjiang's cotton processing capacity has reached 5.4864 million tons, an increase of more than 200000 tons over the previous year. The daily increase in Xinjiang's work volume has gradually slowed down to more than 10000 tons, and the public inspection volume is 5.3225 million tons. The cotton purchase and processing in Xinjiang in 2020 will come to an end.

According to the sampling survey of Xinjiang cotton processing enterprises during the acquisition and processing period, the percentage of seed cotton clothing generally increased by 1.5% - 2.0% compared with the previous year. The good harvest and the rise of purchase price have made cotton growers happy, but some people are happy and others are worried. According to the data of China fiber quality monitoring center, the quality of new cotton is different from that of last year in terms of color grade, horse value, breaking strength and fiber length. At the same time, lint production increases, but there are still structural contradictions in raw materials. Some textile mill officials say that even if they receive medium and high-end foreign trade orders, they have to choose more foreign cotton for raw materials.

With the rise of textile industry in Southeast Asia and other countries, China's cotton textile industry is facing more and more competitive pressure. The appreciation of RMB and the increase of uncertain factors in external environment make it necessary for China's cotton textile industry to open up a new path, so as to break through the development bottleneck and continue to maintain competitive advantages.
