Cotton Policy Support In Minqin County, Gansu

Recently, through the vigorous efforts of the provinces, municipalities and counties, the sale of cotton in Minqin County has been supported by the relevant ministries and commissions of the state. It has agreed to take temporary measures for the purchase and storage of cotton in Minqin County, and appropriately reduce the length standard of the acquisition of national cotton reserves.

The cotton industry is an efficient water-saving industry formed by Minqin County in recent years to cope with the water resource crisis, implement the ecological environment management, adjust the planting structure, and strive to cultivate and develop. The planting area has reached 300 thousand mu, and the 33 cotton processing enterprises have been built through the base.

In the development of cotton industry, agricultural and technological departments actively promote new varieties, new technologies, new models, and standardized operation techniques such as chemical control and picking.

In 2008, Minqin cotton got another bumper harvest. However, due to the impact of the international financial crisis, the cotton market was weak and prices were falling, and sales were difficult.

Recently, the cotton association of Minqin County has timely negotiated and promulgated the "cotton purchase guidance price proposal". It suggested that medium cotton should be purchased at an average price of 4.36 yuan, floating on the basis of quality, and 0.5 yuan higher than the original market price.
