About Cotton
Cotton is a natural cellulose fiber harvested from cotton plant bolls, primarily used in textile manufacturing for apparel, home furnishings, and industrial fabrics. Internationally traded cotton exists in three main forms: raw cotton lint, cotton yarn, and finished fabrics. Quality grades are standardized by staple length, color, and micronaire, with grades ranging from strict low middling to strict good middling. India, China, and the United States dominate global production, while India and Vietnam lead exports. Buyers should note that cotton prices correlate strongly with crude oil prices, as synthetic fiber competition and petroleum-based polyester directly influence demand and pricing dynamics.
