Major cotton-producing counties in southern Xinjiang have started spring sowing and are expected to see the sowing peak around early April. Cotton sowing in northern Xinjiang is forecast to begin after April 5.
The region's agricultural authorities said Xinjiang's total cotton production will remain stable at more than 5 million tonnes this year.
