Cotton linter prices have stalled after rising in mid-to-late March, with producers holding firm quotes. Cottonseed oil mills are struggling to be profitable and many are semi-operating, limiting linter supply.
Refined cotton M1000 is around 9,500 yuan/mt, but a weak real estate market and sluggish cellulose ether demand are capping further gains.
Tight linter supply and firm producer quotes support cottonseed-based feed and meal values, while weak downstream demand limits upside. Buyers should expect little near-term price momentum in cottonseed products.
