　　Awaite County is located in the central-western part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the southwest of the Aksu Prefecture, on the northwestern edge of the Tarim Basin and the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. It lies between 39°31’ to 40°50’ north latitude and 79°45′ to 81°05’ east longitude. The county has a warm temperate continental arid climate. The production area is located 30 kilometers south of Awaite County, on the northern edge of the Taklamakan Desert. Its main characteristics include low precipitation, high evaporation, large diurnal temperature variations, long sunshine duration, abundant heat, and favorable light and thermal conditions, making it highly suitable for the cultivation and production of long-staple cotton.

　　Product characteristics: The length of long-staple cotton lint reaches 37.46mm, surpassing other similar products. Its micronaire value is 3.96, yellowness is less than 10.5, uniformity is greater than 88.8%, bundle fiber strength is over 39.0g/tex, and the number of neps is less than 160 per gram. Yarns spun from this product have excellent evenness, fewer neps, a silky appearance, and strong luster, making them ideal for spinning combed yarns of 80 counts or higher, as well as products with high appearance requirements. Currently, only certain areas in southern Xinjiang among China’s cotton-producing regions are capable of growing long-staple cotton.
