According to Uzbekistan media reports, in accordance with the 2015-2020 agricultural planting industry adjustment plan previously formulated by Uzbekistan, the cotton sowing area has been reduced for two consecutive years. In 2017, it is expected to be 1.2 million hectares, a year-on-year decrease of 67,500 hectares (the area sown in 2016 The area is 1.2675 hectares, a decrease of 30,500 hectares, the output is about 3.3 million tons, a decrease of about 60,000 tons), the seed cotton output is expected to be 3.2 million tons, a decrease of 100,000 tons year-on-year, and the lint cotton output is expected to be 780,000 tons, and will increase the share of domestic cotton consumption. The proportion has digested the increase in inventory caused by weak demand in the international market. At the same time, the land released will be used to grow cash crops such as grain, fruits and vegetables, and develop animal husbandry to offset the decline in income caused by lower cotton prices.
Due to low temperatures and frequent rainfall in Uzbekistan this year, which is not conducive to crop growth, the 2017-2018 cotton planting time has been postponed to early April. However, the abundant rain and snow in winter effectively replenished irrigation water, and the low temperature weather is also conducive to By reducing the incidence of spring diseases and insect pests, it is expected that Uzbekistan’s total cotton output will not be greatly affected this year.
