Xinjiang Cotton Farmers With High Enthusiasm Are Confused

According to the special correspondent of the global textile network, the weather in southern Xinjiang is mainly sunny recently, and all parts are gradually entering the stage of sowing and watering in spring. In Aksu, Kashgar and other places, many cotton farmers are actively picking up cotton field residue film, cleaning farmland. Through mechanical, manual and other means of picking up, the recovery rate of agricultural waste plastic film has increased year by year. Some cotton farmers are paying close attention to irrigation and soil moisture conservation, and spring sowing can be carried out in a short time according to the schedule.
According to the local cotton farmers, the best time for spring sowing in southern Xinjiang is from the beginning to the middle of April, and some cotton farmers start early sowing at the end of March, and this year the proportion of early Sowers is relatively large. The advantage of early sowing is that the cotton seedlings emerge early and the cotton is on the market early; the disadvantage is that the pest control at seedling stage needs to pay more time and cost.
It is also understood that in order to improve the yield and quality of cotton, this year, cotton farmers prefer high-quality varieties, and most of them buy from large cotton seed companies, and the cost is generally 25-30 yuan / kg. A cotton farmer said that some cotton farmers had the idea of replanting wheat and fruit trees this year, but because individual planting could not form a scale, which would affect the management and sales in the future, there were no farmers who actually changed their crops. However, some foreign-funded enterprises want to invest in peach planting this year, but the specific situation is still under discussion.
Up to now, cotton subsidies in some areas have not been paid in place. It is expected that cotton subsidies will be paid in the end of March to the first ten days of April. We are looking forward to waiting.
However, a statement from BCI broke the peace among cotton farmers in Xinjiang. WHAT？ Are we forced to grow cotton?

　　 Meanwhile, a statement released on the official website of Swedish clothing brand H & M on the 24th triggered public anger among Chinese netizens. Xinjiang is the largest cotton growing area in China, and so far our suppliers have purchased cotton from farms in the region associated with BCI, the statement said. "As credible due diligence in the region has become increasingly difficult, BCI has decided to suspend the issuance of BCI cotton permits in Xinjiang. This means that the cotton we need for our products will no longer be available from there. "

The so-called existence of "forced labor" and "discrimination against ethnic minorities" in Xinjiang is a complete lie. The Ministry of foreign affairs has repeatedly clarified the facts and the truth on many occasions. As for the behavior of H & M, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League immediately came out to denounce it.

As the event continues to ferment, Nike is also involved in this BCI led farce. Xiaobian heard the cry of Nike in wechat group.

Finally, Xiaobian hopes that the farce will be over soon and Xinjiang cotton farmers will be quiet. By the way, who wears Xinjiang long staple cotton knows.
