Shi Jianwei, head of the cotton and hemp division of the federation, set this year's cotton supply at 8.2 million tons, butdomestic cotton demand only stands at around 6.46 million tons.

China produced 4.92 million tons of cotton last year.

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is a leading base for production of quality cotton in China, so many Chinese textile companies have been operating outlets for buying cotton directly from this remote region. There were 706 businesses engaged in cotton purchasing in Xinjiang.
