Cotton and Northeast soybean target price reform pilot.

In January 25th, the Xinjiang Autonomous Region announced that it would reduce cotton planting area by 1 million 500 thousand mu on the basis of 2015.

After the announcement of China's cotton net, it received feedback from some cotton growers in Xinjiang. Some people worry that their land will be "reduced". There will be no subsidy for planting cotton, and there will be "downgrading" that only cotton seed will be planted.

From the spirit of document No.1, to optimize the agricultural production structure and regional layout, reducing cotton planting area is only one of the means. The establishment of agricultural production protection zone is a long-term policy.

At present, Xinjiang cotton target price subsidy is being issued in 2015, of which Yuli County has paid 298 million yuan in cash, the first batch of cotton subsidies in Tacheng area is 720 million yuan, and Manasi county has issued 144 million yuan, and the cotton farmers in each regiment of Xinjiang regiment have also received cash from cotton.

While Xinjiang cotton farmers are waiting for the second batch of subsidies, they are also mentally calculating. Are there any subsidies for cotton planting in 2016? From the first document, the state will further promote Xinjiang's cotton and Northeast Soybean in 2016.

This year, cotton farmers in Xinjiang will have a target price to escort cotton seed and give cotton farmers a reassurance.
