Changji Nonggao District: Tens of thousands of hectares of cotton fields grow “benchmark cotton”

“After the topping of cotton plants is completed, attention should be paid to reasonable control of water and fertilizer during this period…” On July 20, in the Changji National Agricultural High-tech Industrial Demonstration Zone (hereinafter referred to as the “Changji Agricultural High-tech Zone”) In the high-quality cotton demonstration base of the National Cotton Industry Alliance (hereinafter referred to as the “National Cotton Alliance”), Li Gengen, a researcher at the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and chief scientist of Xinjiang China Cotton Seed Industry Co., Ltd., carefully observed the growth of cotton seedlings and asked the cotton field managers explain.

“Good cotton is grown.” Li Genyuan said. In recent years, units of the China Cotton Alliance have trial-grown high-quality cotton “Zhong 641” in many places in Xinjiang in accordance with the order-based production model. The raw cotton produced has been snapped up by many leading domestic textile and garment companies at a price increase of 1,000 yuan per ton. Quality inspection results show that the fiber length and strength of “Zhong 641” raw cotton are both close to 32, which comprehensively exceeds the cotton standards of some major cotton-producing countries in the world.

The China Cotton Alliance (English abbreviation “CCIA”) was established in 2016. It is led by the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and unites more than 200 companies in my country’s cotton scientific research, production, processing, circulation, textile, clothing, and trade industry chains. An integrated cooperation organization for the entire cotton industry chain established by the company. Based on the major needs of the development of the national cotton industry, the alliance will lead the cotton industry from quantity to qualitytransformation and upgrading by establishing a new model of in-depth industry “one-stop integration of upstream, midstream and downstream”, and continue to Improve the development level and international competitiveness of my country’s cotton industry.

The person in charge of the Changji Agricultural High-tech Zone introduced that as the chairman unit of the National Cotton Alliance, the Changji Agricultural High-tech Zone relies on the entire industrial chain to drive the coordinated development of the upstream, middle and downstream industries. More and more enterprises and planting entities have joined the demand-based production industrial chain. At present, the National Cotton Alliance has built 250,000 acres of high-quality cotton planting base in Changji Prefecture.

That afternoon, in the exhibition hall of the Western Agricultural Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Changji Nonggao District, several shirt samples printed with the “CCIA” logo attracted attention.

“General shirts are made of 40-count cotton yarn, and these shirts are made of 200-count cotton yarn. The higher the count of cotton yarn, the better It means that the finer the yarn, the better the quality. The ‘CCIA’ logo on the shirt means that everything from variety to cultivation and processing comes from alliance member units.” The research center Introduction by staff.

Xinjiang has unique cotton growing conditions. Xinjiang cotton is a high-quality natural fiber raw material recognized by the global industry. In 2021, Xinjiang cotton achieved “double improvement” in quality and efficiency, with total output reaching 5.129 million tons, accounting for 89.5% of the country’s total. The situation of “the world’s cotton looks to China, and China’s cotton looks to Xinjiang” has been formed.

At present, the China Cotton Alliance has established more than 50 high-quality cotton production bases in Xinjiang in accordance with CCIA standards, with a certified planting base area of 2 million acres. In the future, the China Cotton Alliance will help Xinjiang build 10 million acres of high-quality cotton production bases, create a national cotton brand, promote close cooperation across the entire industry chain, and promote the overall high-quality development of my country’s cotton industry.
