The report on the country's national economy and social development in 2005 also said China's cotton output decreased by 9.8 percent to 5.7 million tons, and oil-bearing crops output rose 0.4 percent to hit 30.78 million tons.

Meanwhile sugar production fell 0.2 percent to 95.51 million tons in 2005. The production of vegetables and fruit maintained a stable growth.
