1, the agricultural economic benefits have been significantly improved, and the yield per unit area of major crops, per capita agricultural output value and per capita possession of major agricultural products all rank at the national upper-middle level. The total agricultural output value increased from 586 million yuan in 1949 to 88.354 billion yuan in 2006.
2. Xinjiang is rich in cotton, accounting for one third of the total cotton output in China, and it is the largest commodity cotton production base in China.
3. Xinjiang is rich in melons and fruits, and the forest fruit art industry based in Tarim Basin has developed rapidly, with a total area of over 6,543,800 mu. Hami melon, grapes, pears and other "famous and excellent" products are well-known at home and abroad.

5. There are many rare wild plants in Xinjiang, which are large in quantity, widely distributed and concentrated in origin, which is convenient for collection, processing or development and utilization.
6. The popularization and application of science and technology in Xinjiang, such as improved seed breeding and popularization, soil testing and formula fertilization, integrated pest control and a large number of training in applicable technologies, have laid the foundation for high yield and bumper harvest in agriculture.
Extended data
The climatic characteristics of Xinjiang have created a reputation of being rich in fruits and vegetables;
1, Xinjiang is far from the ocean, living in the inland, surrounded by mountains, and the ocean airflow is not easy to reach, forming an obvious temperate continental climate. The temperature difference is large, the sunshine time is sufficient (the annual sunshine time is 2500 ~ 3500 hours), the precipitation is small and the climate is dry.
2. The average annual precipitation in Xinjiang is about 65438±0.50mm, but the precipitation varies greatly from place to place. The temperature in southern Xinjiang is higher than that in northern Xinjiang, and the precipitation in northern Xinjiang is higher than that in southern Xinjiang.
The temperature difference between spring and summer and autumn and winter in most parts of Xinjiang is great, so there has always been a saying that "wear a fur coat at noon and eat watermelon around the stove".
