新疆棉“变身”走向世界：不止产品，更兼技术

Core Viewpoint - Xinjiang cotton is transforming not only as a product but also as a technology, enhancing agricultural efficiency and creating high-tech new materials for global markets [1][5]. Group 1: Smart Agriculture - The implementation of smart agriculture management systems allows one unit of labor to manage 200 to 300 acres of cotton fields, compared to a maximum of 30 acres using traditional methods [1][2]. - Smart agriculture enables remote control of field devices, significantly improving cotton planting efficiency and ensuring higher quality and yield compared to traditional methods [2][5]. Group 2: Deep Processing - High-quality Xinjiang cotton undergoes transformation into new material products, such as vulcanized fiberboard, which is known for its strength and flexibility, making it suitable for various industrial applications [5][7]. - The final products made from this new material contain up to 99% fiber content and are biodegradable, contributing to environmental sustainability [5][7]. Group 3: Global Reach - Xinjiang cotton products, particularly high-tech new materials, are exported to multiple countries in Asia and Europe, with direct export revenue accounting for approximately 35% of total revenue [7]. - The company Xinjiang Tianye is promoting water-saving irrigation technology in countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, establishing 20 demonstration sites across 17 countries, covering nearly 1 million acres [7].
