Ma Shuping, China's Deputy Minister of Agriculture told the National Cotton Technology Symposium in Nanchang, Jiangxi that the country would pursue further technology research to improve its cotton industry, and that the country is aiming to maintain its cotton area at about 533,000 hectares, with a production goal of 7.2 million tons, according to a report from Asia Pulse.
