xinjiHarvesting the truth: Why Xinjiangs cotton fields offer more than warmth( 二 )
Free from the previous heavy manual labor with slender income, Mijit Bakri does not merely depend on the leasing income for a living. The company hires him to manage over 6 hectares of cotton fields with the help of a planter, a cotton picker, a water pump and other equipment.
Lu Dewen, son of Lu Gaolin, plans to buy a large cotton picker worth 6 million yuan (about 940,000 U.S. dollars) with other cotton farmers. "The machine can not only make work convenient but will help us increase our income if we rent it out," he said.
Xinjiang has added nearly 1,000 cotton pickers in 2021, making its total number almost 7,000, according to the data from the region's agricultural and rural mechanization development center.
More villagers are no longer confined to rural areas and choose to seek jobs and better lives in towns and cities thanks to the large-scale mechanization.
Since 2014, thousands of textile and garment enterprises have injected investment and built factories in southern Xinjiang.
By the end of 2020, Xinjiang's production capacity in the cotton textile industry accounted for 17.6 percent of China's total, which provides job opportunities for nearly 600,000 people.
