Recently, it was learned from the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Korla City that this year, based on the experience of last year, Korla City will continue to expand the area of cotton planting, and strive to reach more than 160,000 mu and reach 300,000 mu by 2020.


In recent years, with the increasing cost of cotton planting, especially the rising labor costs, the income of cotton farmers has been declining. Last year, the cotton planting area of Korla City reached 1 million mu, of which the machine-planting mode covers an area of more than 130,000 mu, the total cost of cotton planting is 2,230 yuan per mu, and the artificial picking fee is as high as 790 yuan per mu, accounting for 35% of the cost. With mechanical picking, the cost per mu of cotton field is about 220 yuan.


"According to the purchase price of machine cotton, the price per kilogram is reduced by 0.5 yuan, and the maximum cost per cotton can be more than 400 yuan. The normal mechanical operation of a cotton picker can reach 400 mu per day, which is equivalent to 2,200 people a day's work. It can save a lot of labor and harvesting time.” The staff of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Korla said that this year, Korla City will continue to expand the area of cotton planting, and strive to reach more than 160,000 mu, and reach 300,000 mu by 2020.


According to reports, last year's Korla City Pratt & Whitney Farm and Xinjiang Yumian Huinong Company completed the land transfer of the farm, which is also the first time in Korla City to try the cotton field centralized circulation contracting operation. Through the gradual promotion of machine-harvesting cotton planting and specialization, mechanization, and large-scale operation, it can not only greatly improve industrial efficiency, improve cotton quality, reduce production costs, but also ensure farmers' production and income.


"In the future, we will organize all townships (farms) and large plantation households to seriously observe and learn, and actively mobilize cotton farmers to develop machine-planting mode." The relevant person in charge of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Korla said that all towns and towns (fields) will increase the intensity of land transfer. We will promote land intensification and large-scale utilization, and build a standard cotton field where “land is flat and fertile, land parcels are easy to mechanize, irrigation and drainage facilities are perfect, technology integration is in place, high quality, high yield and high efficiency, and green ecological safety”.
