2、Upstream analysis

2.1、Cotton

(1) Production

China's cotton production in 2021 5.731 million tons, down 180.0 million tons or 3.0% from 2020. Among them, Xinjiang cotton production of 5.129 million tons, 32,000 tons less than the previous year, down 0.6%; other regions cotton production of 602,000 tons, 147,000 tons less than the previous year, down 19.6%.

(2) Regional distribution

The regional distribution of cotton production is influenced by the planting area. Currently 83% of the cotton planted in Xinjiang, China nearly 90% of cotton production in Xinjiang. Within China, the highest single production and the best quality of cotton growing area is Xinjiang.

There are three main reasons for the good quality of cotton in Xinjiang, one is that the sunshine hours meet the needs of cotton growth; two is the low precipitation, arid climate, which helps to improve the quality of cotton; three is that the soil conditions are suitable for the growth of cotton. Of course, the temperature difference between day and night will also have a certain impact on the quality of cotton, but this effect is not the main.
