Xinjiang Shawan tries to solve three major problems in cotton production
The Grain Rain season is good for planting cotton. In recent days, cotton sowing has been carried out in all directions in Shawan County, Xinjiang, located at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. More than 6,000 agricultural machinery of various types in the county are shuttled across more than 1.6 million acres of land, playing a role in the transformation of the “white industry” in the vast fields. Upgrade prelude.
Xinjiang is an important main cotton producing area in my country. In recent years, the implementation of the cotton target price reform pilot policy has further consolidated the autonomous region’s important position in the country for cotton production. However, due to the large fluctuations in the domestic cotton market, frequent problems such as low cotton prices, low output, and reduced willingness of cotton farmers to plant have restricted the continued healthy development of Xinjiang’s “white industry.”
How to maintain stable cotton production and high quality, how to effectively resist market fluctuations, and how to benefit cotton farmers in the long term? Faced with these three problems, Shawan, as a national important agricultural product production and protection area pilot county and a pilot county for cotton supply-side structural reform in Xinjiang, has established a cotton industry social enterprise alliance to bundle cotton farmers, cooperatives and finishing companies. , which provides a good prescription for the development of “white industry”.
“The social enterprise alliance is not only the main body of planting, but also the main body of sorting and management, so that the secondary industry and even the tertiary industry are closely linked.” Ban Junyun, deputy head of Shawan County, believes that social The enterprise alliance can give full play to the respective advantages of planting cooperatives and enterprises, allowing market demand signals to reach the production link, opening up the cotton industry chain, reducing costs in planting, production, sales, etc., and promoting win-win collaboration in all links.
Juliyuan Cotton Farmers Professional Cooperative Federation is located in Sidaohezi Town, Shawan County. It is jointly established by 22 cotton professional cooperatives. When the reporter met Hu Xiangwei, chairman of the United Press, he was organizing training for cotton farmers. “Through training, unifying planting varieties and unifying production standards, the advantages of the joint cooperatives can be reflected. This is also the basis for forming a social enterprise alliance.” Hu Xiangwei said.
“After the establishment of the Zhanzhan Cooperative Union, large-scale cotton planting was realized, but the cotton production and sorting chain was not closely connected, and supply and demand were often misaligned.” Hu Xiongwei handed over a business card : “Now I will change my identity and introduce the situation.” It turns out that he also has a title: Chairman of Xinjiang Tianying Xinlu Agriculture. In March last year, it was this Tianying Xinlu Agricultural Technology Company that united planting cooperatives, cotton seed production enterprises, agricultural machinery service cooperatives, gins for primary finishing of cotton, and fabric enterprises to establish a cohesive machine in Shawan County. The Cotton Industry Social Enterprise Alliance of Cotton Picking Cooperatives has realized the development model of the entire cotton industry chain.
“With the establishment of a station alliance, we can use industrial production thinking to plan cotton production.” Hu Xiangwei said that the social enterprise alliance integrates land, agricultural machinery, technology, labor, information and other resources to solve certain problems to a certain extent. This solves problems such as the low degree of organization of agricultural production and the lack of market information transmission.
Li Changwei, a cotton farmer in Jushitang Village, Dixiang, manages 125 acres of cultivated land through land contracting and land transfer. Before joining the cooperative, he purchased seeds, fertilized fertilizers, sown, fertilized, cultivated land, and harvested by himself. The other steps are also done alone. “After joining the cooperative last year, the agricultural machinery cooperative concentrated its operations, freeing me up, and the cotton yield per mu reached 380 kilograms, which is 30 kilograms higher than my own.” Li Changwei said that by the end of the year, when dividends are paid, the income from one mu of land will be nearly 1,400 yuan.
While cotton farmers benefit, cotton quality is guaranteed and the competitiveness of downstream enterprises is improved. Last year, Xinjiang Tianfu Cotton Supply Chain Co., Ltd. and Tianying Xinlu Agriculture signed an 800-ton high-standard cotton contract. “At that time, I was a little worried about the quality of cotton. I didn’t expect that the quality of this batch of cotton was particularly high, which improved the quality of the company’s yarn products.” Zhang Tingmin, deputy general manager of Xinjiang Tianfu Company, said, “In the past, high-end cotton could only come from the United States and Australia. When it comes to procurement, now we don’t have to look far for the near.”
“We must work hard to create a Xinjiang cotton brand.” Hu Xiangwei said that in the next step, the Social Enterprise Alliance will build a high-quality machine-picked cotton production database and build an Internet platform to realize the mutual fund needs within the cooperative and strive to In 2019, a cotton industry group integrating industry, academia and research, breeding and promotion, seed processing, marketing, trade, industry and agriculture was formed.
It is understood that in the future, Shawan will further deepen reforms, strengthen policy support, strictly standardize operating procedures for large-scale planting, mechanized harvesting, production and sorting, etc., promote the healthy progress of the social enterprise alliance, and promote the realization of cotton Standardized operations across the entire industry chain. Tang Xintao, director of Shawan County Agricultural Bureau, said:”Cotton is the first to march. On the basis of summarizing experience, we will promote the practices and experiences of social enterprise alliances in categories according to the characteristics of different crops and market conditions.”
