Since the beginning of this year, domestic spot price of cotton has maintained a steady upward trend, almost without any setback and has grown by nearly 40 percent.
CNcottonB index, representing domestic price of spot cotton, has increased from less than 13,000 Yuan / ton in early period of the year to the current 18,000 Yuan / ton, a gain of 5,000 Yuan / ton.
Fortunately, downstream industries too have absorbed the impact of rise in cotton prices, while in earlier years, downstream transmission was a difficult task, which, finally resulted in decline of cotton prices.
This also shows from another perspective that downstream demand is strong and China faces shortage in domestic cotton supply.
