As the cotton yarn market is favourable this year, with strong demand, the train service for cotton yarn is scheduled once a month on regular basis, Ma Zhimin, who works with the Kashgar freight transport centre of China Railway Urumqi Bureau Group Co Ltd, told a news agency.

As of February 10 this year, 36,400 tonnes of cotton yarn have been transported via railway from Xinjiang's cotton production bases of Kashgar and Aksu, a year-on-year rise of 20.02 per cent, Ma added.
