In the international market, in March 15th, the price of imported cotton in China's main port fell slightly, and most varieties fell by 0.75 cents.

It is understood that at present, China's port overstock a large number of cotton, the number is about 1 million tons, as long as the textile factory gets the quota, can pick up the goods at any time.

Judging from the overall situation, the ban on India's cotton exports has not had much impact on the market, and the low market demand and the shrinking export of textile factories are all the main reasons for the fall in cotton prices.

However, the purchase of low-priced imported cotton continues to increase, and the use of Brazil, Australia, Central Asia and even West Africa cotton is very common.

With the closing of the national storage and storage, the decisive role of the downstream consumer market warming will further show the trend of cotton prices.
