(231109) -- YULI, Nov. 9, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on Nov. 1, 2023 shows packed cotton at a processing plant in Yuli County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Late autumn witnesses the harvest season of the vast cotton fields in Yuli County. Arkin Reyim, a cotton farmer, stood next to his cotton field, observing a cotton-picking machine humming. Xinjiang is well-suited for growing cotton thanks to its unique natural conditions. It has become a significant hub for producing commodity cotton in the country. In recent years, the local government has made efforts to promote intensive cotton farming and increase the adoption of cotton harvesting machines. As a result, the mechanization rate for cotton planting and harvesting in Xinjiang has reached 94 percent. This is the busiest time of the year for Arkin Reyim. A cotton-picking machine operates in over 300 mu (20 hectares) of cotton fields and automatically bundles cotton into rolls, each weighing about 2 tons. "Last yea
