At the end of April 2020, the cotton growers association of China Cotton Association conducted an investigation of cotton planting area and cotton planting progress in 2769 provinces of 12 provinces and autonomous regions in Xinjiang. The survey results showed that the cotton planting area in the 2020 year was 46 million 156 thousand mu, down 4.15% from the same period last year. Among them: the cotton planting area in Xinjiang area is 36 million 655 thousand mu, down 0.59% from the same period last year, accounting for 79.4% of the total area of the country. The cotton planting area in the mainland continues to decline, and the cotton planting area in the Yellow River basin is 4 million 969 thousand mu, a decrease of 16.04% compared with the same period last year. The cotton planting area in the Yangtze River Basin is 4 million 167 thousand mu, down 15.65% from the same period.

In April, most of the cotton fields were suitable for light and heat conditions and good soil moisture. Cotton sowing progress is slightly faster than last year. By the end of April, the national cotton sowing schedule was 91.88%, 2.52 percentage points faster than that of the same period last year, and the seeding rate of seedling raising was 98.54%, which was 0.14 percentage points faster than the same period last year.

The temperature in Xinjiang cotton region has picked up faster than in previous years, and the hot weather is more, which is conducive to the spring sowing of cotton. As a result, the seeding schedule was 98.34% in April 30th, an increase of 1.33 percentage points over the same period last year. Among them, the local seeding rate is 97.15%, and the Corps has reached 100%. Affected by the epidemic, cotton futures prices once fell below 11000 yuan / ton. Some cotton farmers choose to transfer land or grow other crops such as fruit and melon before planting. After the announcement of the target price policy, cotton farmers' enthusiasm for planting cotton has been raised, and the area of their sown has increased.

Most of the cotton fields in the the Yellow River river basin 4 are suitable for the moon's heat, and the soil moisture is good. The cotton seeding is progressing smoothly, but the stage cooling process has certain adverse effects on the timely sowing and seedling growth of cotton. As of April 30th, the seeding rate of the basin was 97.26%, an increase of 5.63 percentage points over the same period. Seeding and seeding by means of seeding and transplanting have been completed. In the last ten days, the temperature rose rapidly, and the strong wind weather led to a rapid loss of moisture in the cotton field and drought in some areas, which was unfavorable for the emergence and seedling growth of cotton. The cotton seeding progress in most parts of the basin was flat or faster than last year. Only in Henan Province, because of the unstable temperature and drought, the cotton seeding rate was only 68.11%, which slowed down 23.6 percentage points compared with that of other provinces. The seeding progress in other provinces reached 100%.

In the Yangtze River valley cotton area, the weather is fine, the light is sufficient, the moisture content is suitable, and the temperature is close to the previous years, which is conducive to the seeding and seedling raising of cotton. However, in late April, the temperature in some areas was unstable, and several heavy rain occurred, which was unfavorable for cotton planting and transplanting. As of April 30th, the progress of cotton seeding (planting) in the river basin was 28.24%, slowing down by 0.60 percentage points compared with that of last year. In addition to the sowing progress in two provinces of Jiangxi and Anhui, the sowing progress in other provinces was slower than that in the same period last year. The progress of seeding and seeding was 96.79%, slowing down by 0.40 percentage points compared with that of the previous year. Only part of wheat stubble cotton in Anhui province has not been seeded and seeded yet.
