Beijing: As cotton plants growing on large areas of farmland owned by a cooperative in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region started to blossom this month, prices for the crop continued to rise.

There was also increased confidence among the region’s growers despite an ongoing boycott of Xinjiang cotton initiated by some Western countries over allegations of forced labour.
