Cotton production in China

Cotton production in China pertains to cotton which is the prime cash crop of China. Its production is the highest in the world (in excess of 20 per cent of world production) since 1982. Twenty four of the 35 provinces of China grow cotton with nearly 300 million people involved in its production. It is the main input for textile industry of the country with cotton textiles now accounting for 80% use vis-a-vis 95% in the 1950s. The cotton textile industry employs over 10 million people. Its production in 2012-13 was 7.6 million tons but in 2013-14 it dropped to 7 million tons. Historically, its introduction in China is considered a 'southernization', crop which originated from southern Asia (India) during the "proto-globalization" period.
==History==
Cotton, which is called ''mian'' or ''mumian'' in Chinese was first reported from an area now known as Yunan, some time around 200 BC. Lao-ai tribe in the southwest border region is reported to have produced quality cotton cloth around 25-220 CE. In the Tarim Basin archaeological finds of cotton cloth on mummies dated around 1,000 BC have also been reported. In the early Han dynasty period in Siachen in Western China, around 100 BC, quality cotton cloth has been noted. From all these documented and archaeological evidences, a historian has called the introduction of cotton in the country as "southernization" during which period the cotton species introduced were ''Gossypium herbaceum'' (an Afro-Asian species) and ''Gossypium arboretum'' and ''Gossypium hardense'' from India; the latter species were grown in Guangdong and Fujian provinces during the ninth century AD but were blocked for introduction into the Xiang province due to a strong silk lobby.〔 However, adoption of scientific methods of cultivation came into practice only from 1949.〔
