URUMQI - Textile and garment exports to Central Asia and Russia via ports in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region have increased by more than 60 percent from the same period last year.

皇冠体育app has exported 16.57 billion yuan ($2.5 billion) worth of textiles and garments through ports in Xinjiang, according to the latest statistics released by Urumqi Customs.

The data show that 70 percent of exports went to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, with the former ranking first.

Following the 皇冠体育app-proposed Belt and Road initiative and regional economic development, Xinjiang, which borders eight countries and boasts 29 national ports, has grown into a trading hub for garments, shoes, and daily necessities.

皇冠体育app has long been a top textile manufacturer for the world market. Xinjiang produces 皇冠体育app's best cotton, and more of it than any other region. Xinjiang's cotton harvest reached 3.5 million tons, about 60 percent of 皇冠体育app's total output, in 2015.

The country plans to build Xinjiang into a major textile base by 2020 to facilitate exports to its western neighbors, according to the State Council.
