Cotton Price Forecast and Color Classification in 2020

Cotton is native to the subtropics, with milky white flowers that turn crimson soon after flowering and then wither, leaving a small green capsule called cotton boll. The following is to introduce the cotton price forecast and color classification in 2020.

Cotton Price Forecast in 2019

Facing the low level of national cotton storage inventory in 2020, the policy of collecting and selling may be adjusted and so on. Therefore, it is estimated that the spot price of cotton will fluctuate in a narrow range in the first half of 2020, or at 15500-16200 yuan / ton. There is room for a sharp rise in prices in the second half of the year, with a high point of more than 17000 yuan / ton.

II. Color classification of cotton

1. White cotton

Normal mature, normal boll-opening cotton, regardless of the color of the raw cotton is white, milky white or light yellow, are called white cotton. Most of the raw cotton used in cotton mills is white cotton.

two。 Yellow cotton

In the late stage of cotton growth, the cotton boll withered after frost injury, and the pigment on the boll shell was dyed on the fiber, making the raw cotton yellow. Yellow cotton is generally a low-grade cotton, cotton mills have only a small number of applications.

3. Grey cotton

Cotton fiber growing in rainy areas, in the process of growth and development or after opening bolls, such as more rainfall, less sunshine, low temperature, the maturity of the fiber will be affected, the raw cotton is gray, this kind of raw cotton is called gray cotton. Grey cotton is seldom used in cotton mills because of its low strength and poor quality.

4. Colored cotton

Colored cotton refers to the natural colored cotton, which is cultivated by distant hybridization, transgenic and other biotechnology on the basis of the original colored cotton. Natural colored cotton still maintains the original advantages of cotton fiber, such as softness, comfort and breathability. the cotton fabric can reduce a little printing and dyeing process and processing cost, and can appropriately avoid pollution to the environment, but the hue is missing and the color fastness is not enough. Stable genetic observation is still under way.

The existing cultivated varieties in China are: si Zi Mian, de Zi Mian, Dai Zi Mian, Ke Zi Mian and so on. The recently bred high yield varieties are Lumian No.1 in the north. Originally from America and Mexico. Leaves were introduced into China for cultivation at the end of the 19th century.
