cotton price will keep firm amid less supply in the short run

In conclusion, machine-picked seed cotton has gradually arrived since the Mid-autumn Festival with continued price increase, especially hiking price during the National Day holiday. More Xinjiang-based ginners stop procurement recently and the procurement price of seed cotton declines somehow, but cotton farmer become reluctant sellers and cottonseed supply is short. The arrival of cotton linter is much slower compared with same period of prior years, so the price will keep firm amid less supply in the short run.
