As the largest cotton producing area in my country and an important one in the world, Xinjiang cotton has a high quality advantage in the country thanks to its unique light and heat conditions. However, high planting costs are still a long-term problem faced by Xinjiang’s cotton industry in the future. How to help cotton farmers increase production and quality, save costs and increase efficiency, and help Xinjiang cotton achieve highquality development? In this regard, the reporter interviewed Gao Xincheng, chairman of Zhongnong Guoji (Xinjiang) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhongnong Guoji”).
Gaoxincheng believes that digitalization, simplification, and low-carbonization are the future development trends of Xinjiang cotton, and relying on digital technology is one of the effective ways to achieve high-quality development of Xinjiang cotton.
“The high-quality development of Xinjiang cotton requires not only improving productivity, but also constantly optimizing production relations, while taking comprehensive considerations into cotton varieties, planting technology and even market competition.” Gao Xincheng said.
The cotton industry is a very long industrial chain, including planting, purchasing, processing, spinning, weaving, garment making, etc. Each chain can also extend to more subdivided industries and opportunities. Gao Xincheng believes that there are certain problems in some links in the Xinjiang cotton industry chain. For example, in the planting process, there are many varieties, farmers focus on yield rather than quality, and it is difficult to increase production; in the purchasing, ginning and other links, there is vicious competition and unclear classification.lint and imported cotton. Therefore, the upgrading of the cotton industry is imperative.
“Only by coordinating the improvement of productivity and the optimization of production relations from the perspective of the entire industry chain can Xinjiang’s cotton industry release new momentum. This requires the joint efforts of market entities and the government.” Gao Xincheng said.
To this end, Gaoxincheng has led the founding team of Zhongnong Guoji to study the development issues of Xinjiang’s cotton industry for more than 20 years. At the same time, it has cooperated with well-known domestic and foreign scientific research institutions to form an “industry + technology + finance” empowerment model to help Xinjiang’s cotton industryTransformation and Upgrading.
In 2018, Zhongnong Guoji and China United Property Insurance Co., Ltd. reached a cooperation intention to jointly build an industrial Internet platform integrating industry and finance. At the same time, we have jointly innovated insurance products with many large domestic insurance companies to serve the cotton industry. Among them, cotton quality insurance, cotton yield insurance, and cotton series meteorological index insurance are all firsts in China.
“Comprehensive financial services are the top priority of cotton industry chain services.” Gao Xincheng said that only the three-party integration of finance, industry, and technology can better promote in-depth changes in the cotton industry chain. Finance has made Xinjiang’s cotton industry better, and technology has made Xinjiang’s cotton industry stronger.
“Digital technology is an important carrier for the three-party integration of finance, industry, and technology.” Gao Xincheng said that Xinjiang cotton must have its own standards, especially in terms of planting methods, brands, and quality, which requires relying on digital technology. breakthrough.
To this end, Zhongnong Guoji and Beijing Heliu Agricultural Science and Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. and other units jointly established Beijing Feihua Technology Co., Ltd., and jointly launched the implementation of future smart technology with scientific research units such as China Agricultural University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Huazhong Agricultural University. The digital cotton project has built a digital cotton industry technology platform.
The platform has achieved a precise, systematic, and industrialized ecological closed loop in planting plans, field management, industrial ecology, etc. It can achieve one-click access to planting plans, cotton management that is accurate to the sky, and disasters that are accurate to the field. Prevention and control, integrated water and fertilizer irrigation, whole-processintelligentoperation of farming, management and harvesting, etc.
The future smart digital cotton project has my country’s independent intellectual property rights. It is currently the world’s top crop model and a disruptive technology in the field of digital cotton. According to pilot tests, It can achieve the goal of increasing cotton yield per mu by 10%-20% and save more than 10% of physical and chemical costs.
In 2021, Zhongnong Guoji signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Manas County government to start the construction of a 200,000-acre future smart digital cotton project.
“This technology allows cotton farmers to clearly understand white cotton, which can increase cotton yields, help cotton farmers reduce water and fertilizer inputs, and solve the variety problem that has long troubled cotton farmers. At the same time, it can improve the level of cotton disaster prevention and reduction, and help the construction of high-standard farmland informatization .” Gao Xincheng said that relying on the future smart digital cotton project, crop carbon sink data can also be accurately calculated to help my country achieve its carbon peak and carbon neutrality goal.
