The harvesting and sales of seed cotton in Xinjiang

The harvesting and sales of seed cotton in Xinjiang is postponed by 5-10 days compared with prior years due to the influence of weather, higher seed cotton procurement price and unwillingness of sales by cotton growers. Cottonseed price kept rising at the end of Sep and cotton linter producers who became reluctant sellers also continued to adjust up prices. However, the procurement price of seed cotton took the lead in falling after the National Day holiday in early Oct due to the policy regulation. Coupled with more cottonseed and cotton linter on the market, cottonseed price had shed after the end of Oct and cotton linter price also dived after hiking.
