# Gossypol no longer a limiting factor to potential cottonseed markets

> Cotton Incorporated's cottonseed research director estimates the 2018 U.S. cotton crop, just under 21 million bales, delivered about 6.5 million tons of whole cottonseed. That is roughly 2.5 million tons more than the 2015 crop added. Prices are expected to slide as the larger crop floods the market.
