National Cotton Production Survey Report

In order to fully understand the cotton production in 2014, the national cotton market monitoring system launched a national cotton production survey from October 15 to 31. The sample involved 15 cotton-growing provinces (autonomous regions) and 90 cotton-growing counties (cities, groups). Field), 4476 fixed-point cotton planting information contact households.

Based on the national cotton actual planting area of ??63.241 million mu, it is estimated that the total The output was 6.511 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 7.0%, which was 4.3 percentage points lower than the August forecast. Details are as follows:
